I understand that completely Jrod, in fact I said as much in my original response in the thread. I was just talking about my goals of getting into the mid single digits. Believe me I understand that going from a 5 to a zero is probably 4 times harder than going from a 15 to a 5.
This is not a slam on anyone in particular but getting to a zero or + handicap from say 5 is exponentially harder than dropping from a 15 to a 5.
Oh I know tbt and thats why I said it wasnt directed at anyone in particular. I am all for people having goals and I hope they are abke to achieve them.
To me there's a HUGE difference between a 10 and a 5. I can't even imagine scratch or better.Oh I know tbt and thats why I said it wasnt directed at anyone in particular. I am all for people having goals and I hope they are abke to achieve them.
Sounds like a great goal CB. I will be following along.
Quick question about what counts as "short game".
My highest lofted wedge is a 56* and I hit it 115 with a full swing. Is a 70 yard second shot considered my short game where it may be a full swing for someone else? Is any shot with a wedge, full or half, considered part of the short game? I really feel like working on approach shots from 100 and in will benefit me the most at this time.
I really feel like this is what I need to work on, my approach shots. And more often than not, it isn't a full swing.
So they make bogeys too, LOL. Jeez, that's a lot of birdies. Obviously they know how to score. I don't know how to do that.
I was just thinking that myself.. 8/10 birdies is like.. spend the afternoon in the bar to celebrate something special..
I'm sitting at a 1.9 personally, and feel like I have a TON of work to do just to get to a 1, let alone closer to scratch. In fact, I wouldn't be upset if the summer finished without even getting there. I've had four straight 74's, and each of them had a couple shots that destroyed my round. One bad, hooked drive OB... Add two strokes onto the card. One heavy approach into water.. Add two strokes to the card. Par or better equates to, for me, a reasonably flawless round.
The misses are what destroy me. Out of 36 non-green swings, is it really that easy to avoid missing just one? I pulled a hybrid on the 17th today sitting at even par. Hit a hill and kicked hard left, right into the water. Doubled, ended up two over. One barely missed swing, two strokes.
Scratch is an incredible accomplishment.
I think you can too Chunky!
I hear you, I'm lucky that I have a job where if I want to I can spend an hour or two every day at the range in the middle of the day and still be home before dinner from work.
Thats a great point Yorkem, he really needs to work more.CB, that is a great goal, and I will be pulling for you to do it. The bolded part above will certainly help. Maybe if Chunky was more concerned with work instead of getting to a + handicap I would have that luxury too. Hehehe..JK
No sir, I am not. I am a member at Bear Mountain and will be taking lessons from our head pro there John RandallGood luck CoolBreeze, are you going to be attending the A.R.C? If so Mac, Karl or Craig? I know people who have been to all 3 for lessons and are very low, if not positive, handicaps. One being RC's Jr. Club champ.

Agreed, I live in Sidney and still make the drive out there 5-6 times a week.That's awesome! I'm also seeing John at the moment, he explains things really well. The practice facilities at Bear are first class too, way worth the drive from in town.
