Bottom line, it's all about improving and beating balls on the range with a 7 iron won't address troublespots... What troublespots? How well do you play from uneven lies, firm fast conditions, needing a shot shape (draw, fade, high, low) or analyzing the situation and playing the right shot (conservative, agressive, laying up or going for it)
Lookng at my 75 and -1 rounds I see areas that ended with scrambling pars or bogey's.
Cause and effect:
- Nerves - thin tee shot
- Skipped putting routine - missed 2 foot par
- Didn't analyze wind - 30+ feet from flag on 124yd hole
- Got quick - lucky bounce into fairway
- Right hip bump on backswing - blocked drive down right w/ bad angle to green
- Negative thought in backswing - thin hybrid to right of green and poor angle
- Didn't analyze distance and choose correct club/shot & no practice swings - short pitch lead to bogey on a easy Par 5
- Pulled driver into hazard - wrong club choice for situation was too risky.
- Didn't pull through with left side - 60+ feet left of hole on 150yd hole. Scrambled for par
- Weak drive to right side of fw - 25 yds too short to go for green. Par on easy par 5.
- 1st tee nerves and execution
- Hybrid tee and fairway shots
- Distance control with wedges inside 105 yd
- Draw and fade control
- Lag putting over 40 feet
- Shots from uneven lies (below feet, above feet, downhill, uphill)
- Takeaway on long iron/driver swings includes hip bump
- High trajectory straight/fade/draw
- Make more midrange putts (9 to 15 feet)
- Plan use of backboards and spinning the ball back to the hole
- Recognizing conditions and applying correct strategy (wind, firm, soft)
- Course strategy (distance, club and direction choices)
