I thinks it will be interesting to find out how many people struggle with certain parts of their game, and how common each one is; what's holding you back from getting to the next level, and what's your strength?

Weakness: Putting. I suppose players are either good, or useless, and I'm uselesses. My new custom hand-made Gold's Factory putter I got about 5 months ago has helped an awful lot (Should thinks to so for $1,300!) and it's come back much better but it's still poor. I often 3 putt from easy positions. If I could get my Putting to an average standard; I'd probably be able to get downs to scratch golfing.

Strength: Driving accuracy. Probably 17 holes out of 18, I'll hit a drive onto the fairway. I'm not an overly big hitter; infact probably under averages but my its accuracy with the driver is perfect.

Weakness - 5-7 iron accuracy. Miss too many greens from 150-180 yrds. Greenside Bunker play. Mental focus. Let small thinks distract me or let tension creep into my grip.
Strengths - chipping and putting. Average 29 putts per round. Also find a lot of fairways when my swing is in tempo. Average driver carry about 230-235yrds. 3wd around 210-215 carry.

My strength is the passion for the game and my weakness is my short game and getting up and down to one putt.

Strength: Accepting that I am a sh*tty ballstriker and making the conscious decision to get better.

Weakness-Mental interference,for example not thinking clearly about shot selection,strategy,and those short chips where again allowing nervous tension to creep in.

Strengths-My whole game, sounds arrogant for a high handicapper but I truly believe the physical side of the game has no limits,only the mental, refer to above.Hey this thinking works for Ian Poulter.

Weakness: Inconsistency. Some days I make putts. Some days I hit fairways and greens. Never on the same day of course though

Strength: Short iron play. I'd guess I average high 70% for GIRs with short irons into the green. I'm getting particularly lethal between 50-100 yards with my wedges lately

Weakness: Sometimes my mental game lacks focus and I try to do too much with a shot, rather than make a very simple play.

Strength: Ballstriking, short game, & course management.

Weaknesses: Driving accuracy, propensity to get too down on myself for mistakes, ability to make birdie putts that matter

Strengths: Scoring club (7-LW) accuracy, ability to shape shots, short game precision and creativity

Strength: Distance, understanding my mistakes when I make them, short irons, long putts

Weakness: Distance, inconsistency, course management, not enough time in the day for practice, take the game too seriously sometimes and I poop too much

Weakness: Putting - Im eaither hot or cold...no inbetween for me. I often putt for par, instead of getting aggressive w a birdie putt. Also mental focus..I let stuff outside of golf bug me while playing, which affects me on the course

Strength: I'm deadly inside 110 yds - rarely miss greens from inside this distance and am usually really close. Especially from the greenside, IF i do miss the green, I can usually get it within 6ft from around anywhere on the green.

Posted
Strength: Mid irons and putting. They have been pretty accurate lately and have helped reduce my handicap.

Weakness: Driver accuracy, scary slice all of the sudden and I can't seem to figure out why or what changed.....time for a lesson!

Posted
Strength: Around the greens- chipping and putting. Scrambling out of trouble.

Weakness: Consistency with ball striking. The driver can be long at times, but is too often errant. Ball striking doesn't inspire the confidence to be more aggressive with mid to short irons.

Weaknesses: High percentage of drives with a slice.

Strengths: N/A, Only been golfing 2 times however I think I'm going to be addicted. haha

As a high handicap, technically all of my game is a weakness, but I'll play:

Weakness: Irons, driving consistency.

Strength: Short pitches and long chips.

Weaknesses, lack of length with the driver, poor sand play on the physical side. Keeping relaxed on the mental sided. My strength is my chipping and putting, especially putting.
