Pyl. 6.3/5.6/ 5Have two flags coming off in the next two rounds plus whatever changes will come with WGH. I have made the long term goal to get a new PB, but I would like to see if I can get lower than that this year.
I think you just lost all of our updates….
Yep, you need to copy the latest update and insert your update. Mine was the latest before yours.
Sorry, I thought I copied Pyl’s, but turns out not. My apologies. Is someone more sensible than me able to find the latest version and correct or point me to where it is if Goldy has also done the wrong thing.

No question – golf will find your weakness and shove them in your face!
Of course you’re not a learner so my thoughts about bunkers was out of context in your thread – it’s just a topic I find interesting and your comment about bunkers triggered me!
Not really out of place because bunkers was something that was a real weakness of mine until about 12 months ago. I am still not great, and it’s still a weakness compared to other parts of my game.
All of my work since I started has been trying to focus on the thing that causes me to lose the most shots – work on that until it’s no longer the thing that causes me to lose the most shots and then move on to the next candidate. At the moment one of the reason I want to do some investigating is because I am just not sure what that thing is at the moment – I could point to all the categories above which I know are doing me damage but I am just not sure if there is a number one candidate. My suspicion is that I will find I am losing the most shots with 3 putts, because I would still have one or two of those every round and while that is not 4 or 5, it is still happening every round. I feel more frutrated with my double chips but I would be suprised if I was having more than one of those a round, and not even that many some rounds.
Good stuff Deege
I love some golf stats!
It will be interesting to see how the course management test pans out, – Piggy and I had a good chat about that subject a little while ago and it’s an interesting one
I think it is a pretty important thing for me to figure out. For me, as you can see, having an approach of more than 130m puts a fairway wood in my hand, where for *some* people, that might be a 9 iron. So it’s going to be an important issue to know whether my scoring is likely to be better from laying up or from going for it and dealing with the consequences. Significantly improving my bunker play in the last 12 months has made me more inclined to go for it unless there is potential water hazard problems.
But will be interesting to see first whether this comes up terribly often in a round, and secondly whether there is any significant difference in outcome depending on the choice made.
I have believed for a while that learners need to prioritise being able to confidently get out of bunkers to allow them to take on approach shots with bunkers as a miss saver (and also when you need to punch to a green the bunker can be a great short or back stop).
Everyone needs to play to their strengths and weaknesses but having that sort of safety net can be a huge benefit for riskier shots.
Well to be fair, to get your handicap lower, it helps if you don’t have any particular shot that causes you major conniptions, cause that is going to cause a problem. But agree that for many higher handicaps, bunkers is often a weakness.
From observation I would say that many higher handicap male players, learning to stick with a shot off the tee that more reliably gets you in play rather than just chasing ultimate peen distance would have an equally big impact.
But I am very pleased to have improved my bunker play to the point that I don’t automatically assume hitting a bunker will kill my hole.

Put your goals in the “Setting Achievable Goals” thread as well.
Will do, thanks Commish.

Maybe play a practice round with couple of balls. One ball you consistently go for it. The other you consistently lay up. See which scores better. Even have a third in between sensible but not overly safe ball too. My understanding is that this third ball is often the best.
I would love to do this, but it is a huge investment of time (and the sacrifice of a handicap round) where I normally only am able to play one round per week or less. So for now I will stick with the stats and see if I can discern some patterns.
Mr Deege is working a fair number of weekends in February which should enable me to schedule a couple of lessons on top of my golf rounds, and I am actually going to get to play two rounds on the OOM weekend which should be nice.
I have a voucher from *ahem* winning an OOM grade last year for an all round game assessment at the PGALP which I want to schedule and I also want to schedule another lesson with my normal coach Matt to check in on my swing changes we have been working on.
So have bought the first mental book for the challenge – Every Shot Must Have a Purpose which you can find here https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B000OVLIQ0/ref=pe_1007802_166382322_TEM1DP.
Will line it up to read after I finish my current book – and will give a review in due course.
I could be off 25 by then, but really no chance of more than 20 points, if that.
Yeah, nah. The whole point is that the boys whose scratch rating is already close to par aren’t likely to get extra shots. In fact, if you play a course where the scratch rating is below par, then you will lose shots. However, on most courses, my scratch rating is 2-3 shots over par so I should gain those 2-3 shots on my daily.
You are screwed.

I really like it adjusting so that scores can be directly compared against each other – doesn’t make sense to me to have a handicapping system and then have it not able to be properly directly compared.
It will feel like a blow having my daily come out several shots but as I often play particularly with blokes (eg in the OOMs) it is nice to be able to have a direct comparison. Might give the women more of a fighting chance in the special events we play which have mixed v womens v mens teams.

The rest of the rounds are being finalised with bookings. We will put up the schedule on the calendar as soon as possible.
