From the Whites, 67.8/115, 5582 yds.
Score: 90
11 of 14 Fairways Hit
Only 6 GIR, embarrassing
42 Putts, bad greens but also just some bad putts
Longest Drives: 245 and 255 This is long for me.

I wonder what I need to work on?

One of my problems is when I want to hit a 3/4 shot, I hit it FAT everytime. WHY?

One of the best things I started doing is keeping these stats. Now I know exactly what I need to work on.

Driver: 9.5 Titleist 910, Fairway Woods: G2 3 wood and 5 woods
Irons: Titleist CB712
Wedges: 52 - Vokey, 56 - Vokey Raw,
Putter: Odyssey White Hot #1
Ball: NXT Tour


6 out of 18 greens, 33%, thats alright
11 out of 14 Fairways is really good
42 putts, thats a bit much... Shot 90, if you allways two putt, then you just cut 6 strokes off your score.

hit the putting greens, get that speed control down, you never want to be more than 1-2 feet past the hole on any first putt. This will help cut down on many of your problems.

seems like your short game could be using some work. the course isn't that long at all...and for drives of 245-255 respectively you should be up and down and relatively close looking for birdies. if you're having trouble on the green that's one thing but, 42 putts is 2.3 putts per hole...practice your putting stroke and work on speed and alignment. if you worked on your short game yo'ud get closer to the hole with more reasonable chances at pars and fewer putts.

In my Titleist 2014 9.5" Staff bag:

From the Whites, 67.8/115, 5582 yds.

This is usually due to deceleration. Whenever faced with a pitch or chip, I try to hit my actual shot the same as my practice swings. The tempo and speed have to match ( or as close as possible).

I'd love to have your fairway percentages. Whatever you're doing there, keep doing it.

4dx 15.5 hybrid (UST V2 - Stiff)
'99 Apex Plus 3-EW (Stiff)

Arnold Palmer The Standard SW (20-30 years old)'99 Dual Rossie Blade


My 3/4th shots are exactly the same pace as my full swing, but just shorter backswing. You can slow it down, but don't deaccelerate at the ball..

My driving has been outstanding this year. The best part of my game. Not particularly long compared to some but always around the 150 marker on most par 4's. I'm normally a 220 to 225 hitter. Either straight or slight draw this year. This is what I worked on all last year and now it has paid off. The old saying "Drive for show and putt for dough" is true. If I can't get there from 150 and in, I struggle.
Putting, Every first putt is short and below the hole. I know this and still do it every time. I am decent at reading greens but....

What a journey!

    • A strong grip cups the wrist (lead) and then it wants to flatten through impact, something I used to be able to avoid to keep it from going left and protecting my forearm (the main premise of my set up). Longer the club, harder it is becoming. Either way, yes, I need to transition to gripping it open. 
    • Why don't you grip it "open" so you can return your hand to the place where you're comfortable/not sore, but the ball won't go left? It's effectively weaker… without actually "being" weaker?

    • Idk but I would have to imagine that a putter that is aimed where you think it's aimed would be the most important aspect of a putter
