so just got back from shooting 18 with my dad. was a decent course, not to hard, but not to easy. (69.8/122) i ended up shooting a 93 which is right around my average lately (low 90's). it was only my 3rd time out this year but i can feel myself being right on that edge of breaking into the 80's and i KNOW i could have done it today if it wasn't for the two sand traps i found myself in today.....
took me three shots to get out of both of them
!!!! thats
6
extra strokes on my score...which woulda put me under 90
i've never been much of a real sand trap player, by that i mean i would normally just skull the ball outta the trap instead of trying to hit behind the ball and get under it. my whole problem is that i think its a mental block. taking almost a full swing when im only 15 yds away from the hole caused me to not follow through after i hit the ball while it was in the sand...if that makes sense lol
on a side note though, i managed to crack a 270+ yd drive today which is by far my best yet (avg. is around 230ish) and i only putted 36 times (three 3 putts)and i normally putt in the 40's. so even though i've seen progress in my drives and putting, it just seems like im having all sorts of trouble with my 56*, even around the green i have problems with it. today i went back to using my PW and just bumping and running some other shots that were close with my 6 iron. i'd love to learn how to use my wedges though. any advice on bunker shots and small chip shots guys? im desperate....mostly cuz i know i can break into the 80's if i just figure this damn club out!
wow...just realized how much i typed haha /rant
