Shankster Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 I actually looked at this recently. As long as your hands are together you can put your arms against your sides. If you split you hands you are not allowed too. Thanks. I probably need to change anyways since it doesn’t work, but it’s comfortable for me. Maybe a new wand is in order...

tchat07 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? I think your best option of all holes is aiming at the big part of the green and trying to 2 putt. Works well on par 3, 4 and 5.Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app Kenny B and cksurfdude 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnosil Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I will slightly disagree with aiming for the big part of the green. I aim for a spot that would leave me in a good position based on typical shot shape. If I am hitting an occasional hook with a draw most of the day I am aiming more right than middle especially if the flag is right. I try to factor in my miss with the places I don’t want to be if I do hit the shot that misses.

Shankster Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Yeah, it is going to be hard for me not to aim at the flag. I’ve always taken aim at that stick. I try to give myself the shortest putt I can because it is so terrible.... and that’s why I used to miss the green on purpose so I could chip instead. cksurfdude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEZIPR23 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I don't if anyone follows Scott Fawcett on twitter. Good follow for strategy although he is very arrogant, his information is good. Sometime last year he had Aaron Wise (PGA ROY) hit 20 7 irons in a row. His dispersion on those 20 shots was 34 yards. Just shows how varied even tour players are with shots. The point being yes it is generally good to aim for fat parts of green or fairway but it is also very important to know what your dispersion is. One without the other will not equal desired results.

TR1PTIK Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 My strategy is simple. Play the shots I know I can hit, take enough club, admit defeat when out of position and punch out to safety. Sometimes that means I aim more at the flag, sometimes it means I shoot for the middle of the green. On par 5's, I may go for it or I may layup. Par 3's are generally pretty easy if you just go for the middle - unless it's a very short Par 3 then I can go at the flag a bit more. Look for the danger and play for a good miss. edingc, Kenny B, cksurfdude and 1 other 3 1 Quote Driver: ST190 9.5* Fujikura Atmos Blue 5S Fairway Wood: ST190 15* Fujikura Atmos Blue 6S Hybrid: CLK 17* Fujikura Speeder EVO HB Irons: J40 CB (3-PW) Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 Wedges: Milled Grind 2 54* & 58* Dynamic Gold S200 Putter: Tri-Hot 5k Two 34" Bag: Players 5 Stand Bag Ball: Maxfli Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDHolmes Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 My strategy, in most cases, is to play safe and hit it where the trouble NOT. And I usually calculate that on best shot, not average shot. EX: if theres trouble at 270, I hit 3 wood because a good driver puts me in trouble. If sand is 135 (heavy 9 iron) i hit 8 and may be over but not in the sand.Hit my clubs to their known distances. Tee shots, I try and leave my best shot, 85 yards with sand wedge which is high and stops quickly. I'll hit what I need to to get to that distance on par 4s and second shots on par 5s (if not close enough to make the green in 2).I layup in a safe spot rather than go for the gusto and try and hit the hero shot. 9 out of 10 times, I'm in trouble trying to hit the great shot.2 putts are better than 3. I lag rather than go at the stick on long putts. If im short sided, I hit to the big part of the green rather than at the stick.So, as you read, and as I type, I try and be great at course management. I generally win money for top 3, closest to hole, and skins in the tournaments I play. I'm not a great golfer, just an older guy who loves the game. I play to an 11. Maybe I'd be better if I took more chances. I know I'm worse when I have not followed my "plan".Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app JohnSmalls, Shankster and cksurfdude 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveP043 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 There are some great discussions of decision-making on the golf course in the book Lowest Score Wins. Full disclosure, its written by the owner of another golf website, but it presents some good methodology for deciding what shot to choose. A summary, you should have at least a 70% probability of success on each shot. That means, getting as close to the green as possible, while avoiding "problem spots" like woods, bunkers, penalty areas, or OB. It does require you to understand your personal patterns, but it makes a lot of sense.

Look at the tour proximity stats from 150-175 and 175-200. I'm just guessing he hits his 7-iron somewhere in that range. An average PGA Tour player averages around 30 feet from that general range, from the fairway. Translate that, 10 yards to each side, 20 yards total, on AVERAGE. That means a lot of his shots are significantly further away, so 34 yards total seems pretty realistic. Even the best players aren't all THAT good.

Waazzupppp Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I'm a big fan of front-middle-back for attacking greens. If you always go middle yardage, you could be long, short, right, left or any combination of those. When you play to flag distance, more often then not, you kill off two of those options. For example: 135 to front, 145 to middle and 155 to back. If I go middle and the pin is front, I have 30+ feet for birdie... Ditto if it's back...If I miss left or right to the middle, I have 50+ feet in. Now, if I hit a good 135 shot to a front flag, pretty much the worst I have is a pin high chip from the fringe at 30 feet. Best case, I hit the shot well have have a very possible birdie and easier two putt par. Either way, I like playing to front/middle/back rather than center only.

I typically do the exact same thing as you, if there is a lot of trouble or a tough pin position, then I go middle, otherwise I choose a club based on elevation change and distance from front to back on the side the pin is on. If there is danger front, I take the back yardage to make sure I can fly it. Danger back, I take the front yardage, worst case is a chip and putt scenario which is much better than a bunker or OB shot. Now if only I could putt and chip well...

I go out to try and play as best I can (every time) and that entails hitting the ball well and making good decisions along the way. Most every time I play it's competitive - meaning; me and my buddies are gambling or wagering if you will. We always play with a few bets - dollars on the line. Not much mind you but something. For example, a $2.00 Nassau might was well be a $200,000 Nassau. Like most of you I play the same course most of the time. I don't need a strategy to play my home course but if there is one; it's called fairways & greens. If I can hit can many of them as possible I score good. I can also score well missing them because I recovered from a missed fairway or got up and down when missing greens. Not sure if you guys have noticed but the pros miss plenty of F&G too. Which leads to.... expectations. If you're an amateur like me you're going to miss plenty of F&G during a round. Right? But some days are better than others. Putting? It can be a deal killer if you're a poor putter. Becoming a good or better putter will also change your game and overall attitude. Learn to become better at it. I can't tell you how many times I've (and others I know) actually played rather poorly but my putter bailed me out. Get better at putting. And lastly.... if you're not that good or simply want to get better at this game seek out someone that can help you with your ball striking. (notice I didn't say swing) Most good players I know do this from time to time. Try to find guys that are much better than you to play with as often as possible.
