Lately in the Southland it has been exceedingly dry (humidity around 10%) and quite windy. As you can imagine, this has turned our golf courses into barren wastelands, and our greens into slabs of what can best be described as fuzzy, concrete with hints of chartreuse and olive. Putting today was an absolute nightmare. I have never seen rolls move so quickly. Guys were 3 and 4 putting inside 5 feet all day long.
I like to keep track of putts, but I am not sure I want to count today's uncharacteristically high number against my average. While I fully adopt the "rub of the green" mentality, something about strangely unusual conditions has me second guessing that approach. I didn't play poorly. To be honest, today was the best ball striking day I've had in quite some time, and I was regularly putting for birdie (sadly only two of them went in the hole.)
So, other than the insane putting, the round was normal.
Should I just keep this one off of the old spreadsheet? What do you think about unusual conditions vs. your averages?
*Keep in mind, I'm strictly talking about the stats you keep, not a handicap or anything that would be used for competition.
