For me, I struggle with my mid-iron play the most (had to rely on my short-game to rescue me).

What do you struggle with the most?

- Driving?

- Irons?

- Wedges?

- Chipping?

- Putting?

- Bunker play?

I believe that was what's the hardest shot in golf, although I'm more interested in learning what segment everyone has the most difficulty with vs. one specific shot. Hope that's clear!

3, 4 and 5 iron shots in a tie with putting...I feel like both are, by my standards, very poor

Used to be driving, but now it's putting.  I have difficulty reading greens properly and have yet to get any consistency with distance (always too long or short).

I see what you are trying to get at.

In that case, I would say my long irons can be the biggest dynamic to my game. If I am hitting them well, I will have a great round. My short game got zoned in because of my long iron play wasn't up to par back when I first started playing.

Driving. Im terrible, it will be my focus this year. I know you only use it like 15 times, but I cant keep it in the fairway at all and I loose more stroke/distance then if I were to shoot a 3w twice.

Right now it's aim.  I am losing stokes with good shots, but poor aim.

Right now I would say irons and short game. The driver has shaped up a lot lately and my putting is usually fine. Irons are coming along, but still a way to go, short game is what it is, never work on it.

Unfortunetly my putting is what's holding me back. I'm to inconsistant with it.

Easily the Driver. On short courses where I can play a hybrid of a tee on most holes, I dominate my buddies, but my home course is pretty long, and very tight. When I'm finding the fairway, I usually have a shot a breaking 80, but it's usually way, way off. Just got a new driver (finally got fitted, was playing something completely wrong for me) and after 1 round a I really believe it will make a difference. A couple of lesson's didn't hurt either

For me, it's all about confidence....stepping up to the tee and knowing you are going to knock it down the middle. However, easier said than done. When I am spraying my driver all over the place, it's usually because my tempo is faster than it should be (I believe this is the biggest reason why most golfers have trouble with their tee game - it's a natural tendency to try and kill it off the tee).

Confidence and a smooth tempo allows me to be much more consistent.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
