I didn't like how a lot of the questions and answers were phrased, nor the options.

I got a 34, but I don't know what that number even means.

I got 30. Like some other people have mentioned, I'm not sure what this was supposed to mean or what impact it has on my golf game. Are they suggesting that I'm no good because I'm not "gritty" enough? Is that like saying I need a better "mental" game?

It means you are a quitter and a pathetic excuse for golf....J/k! It means nothing. Just people have  different temperaments and ways of learning or accomplishing the same objective. I don't see how this test means anything at all about golf. It may identify passive vs aggressive personalities at best.

36. I wouldn't call it a very accurate test though. I don't see how pre shot routines or a lesson makes you gritty

Four more points for having a coach. :hmm:

Nothing wrong with having a coach but I know some people with coaches that have no "grit" whatsoever.

30 for me, which is lower than I expected, but maybe more realistic than I know.  Bad weather doesn't bother me, I actually kind of relish it, course is empty and no pressure, if you play bad you have an out.  After 40 years of golfing, I have my "natural" swing, no amount of practice or teaching will get me to scratch.  When I'm not hitting the ball well I score, very unlikely, not that it hasn't happened, it is golf, everything happens, but the odds of scoring well definitely go down when I don't hit the ball well.

44. Very surprised.

I thought if anything, I'd get dumped on for practicing what I'm lousy at and saying a pre-shot routine is why rounds take 5 hours. :-D

But I've absolutely played some of my best rounds when I hit the ball like crap, and love to be losing big time going into the back nine. That, and I seem to putt better under pressure than when it's a 4 footer with no purpose.

If only my handicap reflected it... :doh:

Your score: 32

1) Practice what I am lousy at. Though that is weighted towards ball striking. So I could easily have put, play it by ear. They are very similar answers in my opinion because both are predicated on how you are playing.

2) Streaky player, not consistent enough around the greens to really keep my score stable if I am missing greens. So I have to bet on a very good ball striking day, or an absurd putting day.

3) With a sub 30% scrambling, nope

5) It doesn't bother me to be down in a match. It can be a good motivational tool to help with focus. I really do find it fun to make a comeback. Its fun to chase down a leader.

6) I put suffering, just because I am my own harshest critic. Some times it is a learning experience, especially if it revolves around game planning. It's suffering when it just keeps hammering the same shortfalls over and over.

10) Lousy weather, it happens. It's golf, it's an outdoor sport, weather happens.

      Rory and Bryson are two of my favorites for some time.  This was a great watch.  Poor Rory looked gutted and (heat?) exhausted at the end there.  Bryson play US Open golf - Captain Scramble.  Avoid the blowups and accidentally find a birdie on occasion and it goes far,

      Best Shot of the Week

      By klineka ·

      2nd shot into a short par 5. I had ~185 left but was just off the fairway to the right with some low tree limbs in front of me. Aimed at the water and hit a punch slice 4 iron that started low under the trees, rose higher as it kept going, cut towards the middle of the green, carried the water and rolled to ~25 feet for an eagle putt. Lipped out the eagle putt but never going to complain about tap in birdies.  It was one of those shots that I've done before and was a perfect yardage gap. I have a punch 4 iron swing that I know goes right at 185, and I can cut the ball much easier than I can draw it, so it was actually a much easier shot for me than it appears to be in the picture. I would have been fine if it would have over cut too, rough isn't very penal here so it would have been an easy chip from short right.  Although to be fair I didn't realize/remember that the water cut in as far into the fairway as it did, I thought it stopped right around the left edge of the green.

      Long Iron

      By klineka ·

      I absolutely LOVE my new Titliest U505 3 iron.  It was slightly chunky looking at first, but I don't even notice it anymore after just a couple rounds with it. It's super easy to launch it high and I have no issues flighting it down either.  Perfectly fine to hit off the tee for tighter tee shots and for 2nd shots into par 5s. Even the mishits go much further than I think they should, it's quite forgiving.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By GolfLug ·

      Obviously I'm not you and you have a far more mature swing than mine, but swing length is an issue for me as well if you see my swing thread. What I'm finding is more the difference between arm plane (vertical) and shoulder plane (flat), more the arm runs off (length) uncontrolled. It could be coincidence.
