I would say , ” He’s Back!” Well played.
I’ve definitely found with golf that every game is a new adventure and you can go backwards at any time
But I hope so – want to get back to singles
You have the skills for all the shots to become a single dig player, where some double dig players dont and never will get much lower.
What do you think needs to happen to bring it all together for more consistency?
More practice?
Mental?How do you hit 8 greens but have 11 chances at an up and down?
Did you spill your beer in the clubhouse after the round?Simple accountants… I mean counting error.

So, I can tell my wife I am going to play Adventure Golf ! I like it.
And a round takes about 7 hours!

Mental?Getting up and down more regularly partly from chipping it closer and partly from improving my 3 to 10 foot putting game is definitely part of it.
The other is reducing the shots cost off the tee. More GIR but more importantly getting almost 100% AGIR – where I’m in the vicinity of the green – say within 10m of the surface – in regulation. I can’t keep having stats of 5 or more shots dropped in the long game every round.
Those two should reduce the doubles and above, and also return a couple of birdies a round.

Did you spill your beer in the clubhouse after the round?On 3 I had a pitch from about 30m which landed short, then had a Texas from there.
Are you trying to tell me you’ve never had an up and down shot that didn’t end up on the green? You’re a hell of a golfer!
I have a new golf idol!Are you trying to tell me you’ve never had an up and down shot that didn’t end up on the green? You’re a hell of a golfer!

Evidently it was a skill error

More rubbish today
92 net 80 at McLeod
Pretty much everything was bad all day1 birdie and finished with the ball I started with but nothing else of note
Tough around the greens along with a wipe on 9 basically off the tree led to 16 over and 29 points at Helensvale
It’s a very short course but tight and with very good greens and surrounds to make it a test. Of 12 we had 3 make 32 as our best scores.
1 birdie only 4 pars 10 bogies 2 doubles 1 triple wipe
6/14 fairways – dropped 3 shots on 9 with a lost/probably pulled OOB and then a push into the water. Smashed a 280+m drive to pin high on 13 which was nice
6 GIR – 2 dropped from a thin LW and a pushed 6i
Overall struck the ball fairly decently so that was a positive
2/10 up and downs – not good around the greens – didn’t hit bad chips but the hardness and speed made it tough. Dropped 8:
1/5 Texas
0/1 5i chip
1/1 PW from 30m
0/2 LW chip
0/1 SW sand37 putts – 4 x 3 putts. Had lots of lip outs too.

Played Virginia off 12
Course was in good condition – as green as I have ever played it. Greens weren’t fast but the pins were in slippery spots so made for some interesting golf4 over 40 back and 39 front for an 8 over 79 net 67 and 2nd for the days comp was good
2 birdies 6 pars 10 bogies
6/14 + 3 close fairways – drove pretty well mostly but also had a couple lucky ones that slide through trees. 2 dropped shots weren’t from shockers but left difficult approach options.
6 GIR – only 1 dropped shot from a thin iron and overall a good ball striking day
4/11 up and down – dropped 4 shots
2/2 Texas
1/6 PW chip – 4 dropped
0/1 LW chip – 0 dropped
0/1 SW sand – 0 dropped
1/1 LW sand32 putts – 3 dropped – 2×3 putts and 1 4ft missed, but dropped a couple of 12 footers
Overall ball striking was good. Had a bit of luck with tee shots sneaking through trees after I hit them straighter than expected (allowing for a push fade).
Short game is still a long way to go but no shockers
Putting was disappointing for the 3 putts and the 4 footer but made some good ones too so not disappointed
Hope I can keep the good stuff going
