My 7 irons from the fairway over the last two years. 7 in for #1 and 6 in for #2. I'll go with the percentages and say #1. #2 would probably end up being a guide swing anyway.

He choose hitting his max driver distance for life over holing all his putts inside 10 feet. 😉 Good choice. 😀

LCP: -Get invited to play at private clubs and high end golf courses that you could never get on or afford to pay for yourself. LCB: -Other high handicap golfers don't like to play with you because they feel too much pressure and you're always watching them. (actually had someone tell me this)

160 rounds played, 164 3-putts. 1.02 per round.

At first I was going to say hole every putt inside 10 feet. Then I decided to do the comparison with an actual round I played in August at Mid Pines in Southern Pines, NC. View this round on GAME GOLF I shot 79. Had 7 putts from 3-9 foot range. Made 3 and missed 4. Based on that alone I would shoot 75. My Game Golf longest drive for my last 160 rounds is: Then I did a spreadsheet of 323 yard drive vs. Actual drives hit. Looking at this I would be on three of the Par 5’s in two and a decent chance to be on all four. I was 3 over on those on my actual drives and would be at least 3 under on the 323 yd drives. That’s 6 strokes right there. I was 1 over on the Par 4’s from my drives. On the 323 yd drives the farthest out I would be is 77 yds and be on the green twice. I wouldn’t make many if any bogies from those yardages. I gave myself a few birdies from the closer ones and the ones I drove the green. That would put me at 6 under for the Par 4’s. 12 strokes total. I know this is only one round but geezz, for me that’s not even close. 323 yard drives for the rest of my life. Woohoo

Congratulation Erik!

9 hole rounds - 19 18 hole rounds - 25 Almost all of those 9 hole rounds are league or after work rounds.

I'm hitting about 11-12 greens on average according to my Game Golf. Of those I very rarely hit one "pure". They end up okay but if it is not solid and not on my intended start line I do not list that under pure. Same thing with the driver. If I aim down the right side of the fairway and I pull it 25 yards left but still ends up in the fairway with good distance I don't consider that pure either. As @iacas said direction does count as does what I intended to do. But to me the category of a "pure shot" is very personal. Thanks for thinking I was modest @ChetlovesMer. 😉

I voted 1-3. Most of mine are with the driver.

I'm certainly not "new blood" but I'm in. Thanks for putting this together @gogolfing. It does keep me interested in some of these lesser events.

I actually did this with @iacas at the 2017 Newport Cup on the Mid South putting green before the round. I wanted to make sure my level was accurate because the new shoes we had received were giving me a little different feel than my old shoes. He was dead on with all the measurements. (I was impressed ) It just took a short practice session to re-calibrate with my new shoes.

As I sit here at Talamore Resort, the home of the 2017 NC, that stinks. Maybe next year or 2021.

Happy 40th @Wanzo! Let the aches and pains begin.

View this round on GAME GOLF Played in my last Elite Golf Am Tour event yesterday. Shot 43-35=78 had a triple, a double and 2 birdies. Was low gross in my flight and won 3 skins. This was a very hilly course as there was not a flat lie anywhere except the tee boxes. I made one bad driver swing and one bad par 3 swing. Other than that played okay. Next stop is our 4 day Pinehurst trip at Talamore Aug 22nd. After that, who knows???

I think you are referring to @NCGolfer Dave K. I played Kyle in the singles. Also, I don't normally hit it in the tees very often. I'd have to swing a lot harder than my body would allow just to reach the trees.
