Shankster Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 As my season is about to start, I’ve been reflecting on how terrible my golf game really is. My Par 5 scoring is not good. My Par 4 scoring is decent. My Par 3 scoring is real bad. Real bad! I am looking to improve my game a lot this year for many different reasons. But if I look at the above. The par 3 scoring should be much, much better since the iron game is my favorite part aside from the wedges. Par 4 scoring only slightly better than the other two in reality. And that’s usually when I have an iron off the tee. I really don’t like Par 5’s, not sure what it is but they are boring, at least the ones here. I am a go for it type of guy, so I’ll go flag hunting on Par 3’s, and go for them in 2 if I can on Par 5’s. This year I am going to try a more conservative route and see how it effects my game. Yes, there are many threads like this one, but it’s fresh in my head. What’s yer Strategery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I don't know what "Strategery" is or even "stategery", but my strategy is to always put the ball in the middle of the green. I'm not good enough to go flag hunting. I can't get to par 5's in 2 shots, but I will always try to get as close as I can. I like pitch shots over full shots. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edingc Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Lifted from a Golf Sidekick YouTube video -- I had a few simple thoughts going through my head during my first round of the year Sunday: 1) Setup my shot play so that a good shot is good, and your miss is OK. For me this meant playing for a small draw and leaving myself below holes so that I had uphill chips or putts. 2) Be committed to the shot I was playing. 3) Each shot is its own game, with prior shots having no impact (other than getting you to where you were) on the next. Objective of each shot is to find the best way to get the ball in the hole in fewest strokes. Seemed to help a lot. Played really well, and minus two bad chips and two horrible putts I would have been flirting with 40 over the nine holes.

Wedgie Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I'm with Kenny B on this one. My strategy this year is aim for the middle of the green every time. Pin in front I go middle, pin in back I go middle. I played 15 holes yesterday and it worked fairly well but lead to a lot of 3 jacks.

CarlH Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 My strategic play usually ends up in hitting from the trees anyway, however comma....I used to play long and wrong, but have learned to swing more within myself and accept that I don't have the distances that I used to have. I'm also a center of the green player rather than seeking the pin when it's in a tougher location. I try to avoid leaving myself those short pitch shots, preferring to layup to my preferred yardage or full iron shots if I know I can't reach the green.

PMookie Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I’m going to use my Shot Scope watch numbers for my shots. I may use a laser to get accurate distances to a front bunker, or water, but I’m going to stick with the numbers the watch shows. The greens where I play aren’t very big, so aiming for the center most often will work well.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Driver: Ping G430 Max 9*, Ping Tour 70X Fairway: Ping G425 15*, Ping Tour 70X Hybrid: Ping G425 22*, Ping Tour 80X Irons: Ping i230 4-GW, TT DG X100 Wedges: SMS 50D/54V/58DModus 130 stiff, +1” Putter: EAS 1.0 Ball: Titleist 2023 AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin in front I go middle, pin in back I go middle. I played 15 holes yesterday and it worked fairly well but lead to a lot of 3 jacks. I suppose my "strategery" depends a lot on the size of the greens and the amount of slope. Greens are my course are not the big compared to ones I see at some of the resorts that I have played. Since they aren't that big, I do tend to miss them quite a bit. I also practice putting a lot and rarely 3-putt, so my "strategery" works for me. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAGolfore Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I will say that I take calculated risks and try to make the next shot as easy as possible. That doesn't always mean going for it on a par 5. Shanks, your par 3 scoring is it because of a poor chip or 3 putts? My goal on most par 3's is to make par. unless it is under 150 yards 3 is usually a good score. And another thing to remember is just because it is a par 5 doesn't mean you have to hit driver. If its 3 shots for you or you can keep other clubs in play why bring trouble into play. Remember the scorecard is for your score, not the story of how you got there.

I focused on straightening out my shots instead. As I got older and lost distance, I had to change up my strategery because I wanted to score better. I focused all my practice time on short game, and my handicap dropped.

Brian A Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 My stratergery this year is 2 fold: 1) Limit blow up holes, hit a bad shot, forget it and make the next shot a good recovery shot and only give up one stroke vs what I do now and try to make a miracle shot happen and it never does 2) Miss small - If I am not 100% I can make the shot minimize the miss and better improve my chances on the next shot.
