    At least you are identifying where the problem is coming from. Say you are 3 putting a lot. Is it due to lack of putting skills or is it your chipping inaccuracy leaving you a 30 m 1st putt? Why were you bad at chipping? was it poor skill or was it the crap iron shot that missed into a poor landing area.

    I’ve moved to a system similar to “Whack, fuck”
    The difference being the infliction to represent good or bad on the later.

    This weekend I will be knocking off a played to of 4.5 from Indro in March 2017.
    Obviously, my expectations are for the handicap to stay where it is.
    Good times.

    Reminds me of your first tee shot at Hope

    The crisp morning air rang to the sound of your crisp driver contact
    Whack

    Followed by a more subdued vocalisation as the ball hooked hard into the neighbors home
    Fuck

    My system is so much more refined than yours. ” Whack; Oh dear!” occasionally morphing to ” Whack; Bugger” as deterioration occurs.

    Totally opposite game today at Burleigh
    Off 9 again and had 44 back 40 front for 13 over and 32 points

    No shots dropped with the long game due to some solid punch work out of the trees
    +1 with irons for a 6i to 5ft for birdie on 8

    6 over with the putter – so that was similar to last week

    8 over short game

    What a crazy game this is!

    Caboolture last round of the BF club champs today
    But I’m well out so that didn’t matter

    Off 10 had 6 over 41 on the back nine for 17 points
    Then had a quad bogey 8 on the 1st! Handicap gone!
    Then managed to finish the last 8 holes in par with a birdie on the last for 40 and 20 points

    So 81 and 37 points
    Handicap down to 9.5 from 9.9

    +1s from hybrid, putt on 10 for birdie start, and Texas in for par on 2
    4 dropped off the tee but not too concerned as I was bombing it and hit most solidly – 2 were from going through the fairway
    1 from a overdrawn hybrid off the tee
    2 from poor wedge shots into a bunker on 15 and fat on 1
    1 from a LW pitch that didn’t make the green
    3 from not up and down with LW 8i and Texas
    2 from 3 putts

    Have to be happy with how I turned the second nine around

    Windaroo next weekend

    Off 9 at Windaroo off the blues today

    A real mixed bag finished with 13 over 84 and 32 points

    2 birdies 5 pars 7 bogies 4 doubles

    5/13 fairways + 3 close – dropped 2 with driver and 2 with a hybrid that went through the fairway on 17 into the hazard and left no shot at the green after the drop

    7 GIR + 4 Texas – dropped 4 from irons into places that weren’t realistic up and downs, and 1 from a SW pitch from 80 that flew the green
    Hit a 9i to 3ft on 18 for birdie

    2/13 up and downs – dropped 4 shots

    33 putts – 1 3 putt and 1 30ft putt dropped for birdie so even with the flat stick

    Out to 9.7 after today

    I am channeling CB80 and asking, ” What caused your 4 double bogeys?’

    I am curious namely because I hit 3 doubles today and in my case it was a combo. My tee shot was not ideally placed, then I tried to get back into play I managed to find the muddy slop on the fairways. Hitting from mud is an art that I seem to lack. Is there a tip that will solve my problem? Hang on, I am asking a Queenslander about playing in mud! Silly me.

    Range of things

    I wasn’t getting anything up and down and some shots dropped with the long game including a hybrid off the tee on 17 through the fairway into the hazard leaving no shot at the green

    If you are hitting the ball before you make contact with the ground, does it really matter if it is muddy or not?? Not really something I am very adept at, but heh, you asked.

    I think that’s a key part of it Commish
    I think soft ground under the ball will have an impact but clean contact is the most important thing
