PMookie Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 I set-out this summer to get my GHIN below 5. As of the most recent update, I am below 5! Stoked.... I really think I can get it below 4, so I’m setting that as the next goal. I lose most of my strokes in the last 4 holes of each round when my back stiffens-up and I’m unable to turn as well as I did on the first hole, so there’s room to move it lower. A few more fairways each round can help.... Time to hit 3.9!!!!!

Tom the Golf Nut Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 Congrats on hitting 4.8. It gets really tough to go lower once you get below 5.0. Seems like I hovered around that mark for a while. The new irons I got to test made the difference for me. I hope you made out OK with the hurricane.

cnosil Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 This is the lowest. I’d love to get to 3.9, but I gotta start finishing rounds better. More fairways, and greens.Why more fairways? How often are you in a position off the tee where you have to make a recovery shot? How many penalties off the tee? How many 3 putts? The ExPutt should be helping with that and speed control Congrats on the great progress this summer.

The fairways are barely 40 yards wide, so not much room with the overhanging branches. Accuracy off the tee is a premium down here... Few white stakes, just narrow. For an Amateur, trying to hit a 20 yard wide swath is difficult, heck, even Pros struggle when the US Open is cut at 20. I very rarely three-putt, so I’m not losing strokes due to that. Accuracy off the tee for me and where I play is the most important.

When looking at most strategy systems, the look for 60 yards as the narrowest width for driver.

For 4 full years our Pro even had the fairway cut at 21 yards wide. 3 inch Bermuda rough. He got mad when I told him that the tournaments he played-in were easy because those fairways were three times as wide as what we Ams played at our course.
