I must be the hardest working golfer in the world

[$2 Nassau]

Seriously. A round of golf is like 4+ hours of lifting concrete blocks, I'm completely spent when I'm done.

I can't hit a fairway if my life depended on it, no matter what club, it's beginning to have a negative psychologial effect on me I think, and off the course.

I scramble my butt off non-stop. It's getting kind of tiring. LOL. My friends are starting to make up names for my style of play. For instance a "Dan-par." (my name is Dan).
An example of a Dan-par is when you blow your drive way into the woods, hang upside from a tree branch to hit your second - somehow punch it out into a playable position. Hit third shot onto the green and then role the 15 footer in for par. Ugly - that's me.
My last round on the 10th hole I hit a drive that landed on the tee box of the 12th hole. Played a 5 iron from there over the fairway, almost OB. Then hit a 60 degree from the rough from maybe 40 yards to about 2 feet. My playing partners were just laughing at me as they lined up their birdie putts.

One day I tells ya - one day I will learn how to hit fairways. Yeah, then I'll be good.

The scorecard doesn't care how you make the 4. Fewer things can bug an opponent more than someone who can make a par from all over the course while they make bogey from the fairway. I say go with it.

Kinda in the same boat. I made 2 or 3 of those yesterday and watched the guys I was playing with shake their heads

Exactly what I was going to say. A par is a par no matter how you got there. Be happy at the fact that you're not "Dan-Double-Bogey"

Hey, it worked for Seve.

I find those par saves to be much more fun (and a great confidence boost too) than to have a 'routine' tap in for par. My $0.02 anyway.

Edit - plus, learning how to make par from jail is how you get REALLY REALLY good. I mean don't ya just shake your head in disbelief when you see Tiger or Phil make par from an improbable position?

Very true. I play Nassau's vs my bro-in-law all the time. Just when he thinks he has me on a hole.......

I used to be. LOL

Hey man, there is honor in being a scrambler. Cuz im one of them...I probably hit more fairways than you, but i keep my scores where they are by saving pars, not so much making birdies. I probably average less than 2 birdies a round. Dont fight who you are grasshoppa, embrace the scramble.

Ehh, sort of.

[OnePutt]

A par's a par. Wait until you start catching birdies! Anyone can do it from the fairway.

[microcrayfish]

They don't ask how they ask how many, right?

[Donnie_Brasco]

[MI Rob]

Ive been the same way lately but hey par is par from anywhere on the course.
