The round was alright. Playing partners wanted to play the tips so had a lot of long approach shots. Driver didn’t hurt me any. Second shots were up and down. Short game was decent. Putting speed control is improving.

Along that line, any of the holes where your pre-event data is leading to you play a different strategy off the tee than you would have otherwise?

But then it’s like..where do ya stop? Hahaha. I absolutely LOVE holes like 4 with a terraced fairway. One of my go-to courses around here has a terraced par 5 and it’s such a fun one.
The risk/reward of 6. The absurd elevation drop on 15. A GREAT looking short par 3 on 17. Let’s go!!
I will be very interested to see how each participant fares with his specific data. I would especially like to see how they paln to use the data to help them improve.

I’m curious to see if there are any revelations where they realize they’re better or worse than they thought in a specific area

A little game of the worst of me, the best of me on back-to-back holes yesterday.
A nice pull left into the shrubbery (aka giant trees). PW to the right side of the FW just to advance. A super mediocre 60. A solid 3-jack. Also not sure why it thinks I played this morning, haha. Definitely from the 14th.
Angry drive right down the pipe. Choked down GW to 4 feet. Birdie.
I don’t think I want that nice pull on 1 at Ballyhack.

This is sort of my expectation. Something along the line of Well you have no distance, your wedge game stinks, but you can occasionally sink a putt if you ever get on the green. So I feel like whatever I hear I will be prepared for. :ROFLMAO:

I felt like I was a better putter than what my stats have shown (apparently i’m better from 8-12 feet, than from 4-8 feet). I knew distance was a problem but didn’t realize how often I come up short on approaches even on well struck shots. Honestly can’t wait to hear what Gavin and Jen have to say.

I am very similar. I do better vs a 10 handicap the further I go out. The closer I get all my stats tend to show I’m losing stokes. Curious to hear there take on what my issue is.
Let’s go, [USER=50957]@Ludin[/USER]! Layeth some smack down.
Event week PM is always a rush.
May I also mention, very importantly, that the participants were informed this morning of not only a Big Beef experience but also a VA BBQ feast.
