Every year my whole family rents a house for a week on Pensacola beach on Santa Rosa island. A couple of years ago I went and played the Pensacola Muni course as a solo and I get paired up with an older couple, like in their 70's I'm guessing. No problem for me, as I expected to get paired up...
Last week at Quail Hollow GC in Mississippi. Short par 4 over water, thought I could drive the green. Dunked one off the tee. Took a drop at edge of water and hit a 4 hybrid right off the back of the green behind the hole, about 15 feet, bit of a downhill shot onto a recently sanded green...
I think I'm getting a bit more distance since my accuracy has majorly improved, but not like crazy longer. Ball definitely rolls out longer in the short grass compared to the rough though!
Also might be due to getting more comfortable to how it now feels, and having the confidence to swing a bit...
I've used GolfShot as my GPS and round scoring app for the past many years and it keeps all my stats for me.
However, I'm not sure what is considered good vs bad on some of these stats.
Putting for instance - for all of my rounds going back 15 years or so to when I first started I'm at 1.91...
I think it was Fred Couples I once heard say when asked what he does when he wants to hit the ball farther, "I actually swing easier than my regular swing".
Coming from him, I thought that was memorable.
Edit - now that I think about it, it might have been Ernie Els that said this?
