So I played 9 again yesterday, this is the first time I have repeated a course so I was interested to see how I did. Last time on this course I had a terrible day, even for me, and shot a 69. This time I shot a 60 so the improvement in about a month is nice to see. I really struggled with shots in bad lies as I obviously don't practice those on the driving range, any suggestions for getting better at shots in tall grass or dramatic slopes or both? I was not striking the ball well off the tee or in general, so it was good to see my score improve despite that. I am still playing worse than double bogey, but I did put together two bogeys that didn't really require any heroics just no real mistakes. I was putting really well today I made a couple 10-15 foot putts and left myself several less than 3 foot second putts, I only had 2 three putts, so it was more a struggle to get on the green than to get in the hole today. I also played without the 3 or 5 wood as I have not been hitting them well at all (I still used driver as I hit it better, its a nicer club and far more forgiving) I think this helped. I think I will try the next round without any woods and see if that helps. I am going to focus my practice on full shots with 5-8 irons off the deck and tee between now and my next round as that was my weakness.
