creating this thread to post my own scores and stats. It will serve as a bit of a journal for my scores and Tiger 5 stats
I am currently a 5.5 index, I have probably dropped 7ish strokes in last 4 years but the goal is to drop it to scratch.
will post a few rounds today to kick this thing off
Yesterday shot a 77 (35 - 42). I need to stop this trend of playing well on the front 9 and poorly on the back 9. Has been the case my last 3 rounds. The back 9 at my course is a little harder but it is more about my ball striking going bad. My handicap is 4.9.
Is it because you’re thinking about the number you need to make to best your score? It seems like we will ourselves to shoot a certain score. Like oh my goodness I’m going to break 100, 90, 80, par, 70, etc. only to throw it away in the last few holes. The hardest thing to do coming down the stretch is to stop thinking about how you’re going to have your best score. However, when you can do that it frees you up to continue swinging like you did for the 14 holes prior.
9/19
83
NGIR: 12
Putts: 37
Double Bogeys: 4
3 putt: 1
Par 5 scoring: 5 over
Double bogeys were caused by loose shots off the tee of with hybrid on par 5’s.
Grades:
Tee Ball - B
Approach - B
Short Game - D
I basically had 4 loose shots (2 off tee, 2 on approach) that cost me ~7 shots. I then gave myself 0 help on or around green. I did not make a putt outside of 6 ft.
Need continued work on ballstriking (club selection, full routine, execution) and definitely have interrupting thoughts when I get the driver in hand (lose tempo, get out of sync). Seems like I am pressing on the par 5’s
On putting, just need to get some time to practice. Green reading sucked and stroke was a B-
^ this was my first time playing a course with decently tricky greens. I had several good birdie rolls from 10-15 ft that just weren’t read correctly or had speed off by a ft…
Additionally, I didn’t hit a single chip stiff… was grinding all day around the greens
9/20
90
Didn’t bother keeping stats as I was hitting the driver off the planet both directions on a course surrounded by pine trees.
Continued to suck at putting
I’m trying to do the math here. You said 43 putts with only one three putt, typo? 33?!
Can relate. My chipping is better this year, my putting is killing me. Not feeling comfortable on the green.
sleep deprived…
37 putts
I shot 43 on the back 9 and wrote down that number
could be concentration…
maybe commit to going through full pre shot prep on every shot on back or doing the mental scorecard
Glad my math isn’t as bad as I thought it was.
No. Just not playing very good golf right now. I have never been one to dwell on score or a bad shot.
Gotcha, I asked because that’s usually my problem. Still relatively new to the game. It’s hard once I start doing well to stay focused and not think about my impending doom. 
Today was a reversal. Played poorly on the front and much better on the back. I am just not playing very good golf right now. The body is just not working as well as the mind is. I am concentrating and doing everything I did as far as pre-shot and course management this time last year when I was playing to a 3.
Sorry man, you’ll work through it!
9 holes
39 (+3)
NGIR: 7/9 (one bunker which ended as a save)
Putts: 17
3 putts: 2
Double bogey: 1
Par 5 scoring: even
150 in bogey: 0
Two chips: 0
On Thursday afternoon I equaled my best score from the last few months of 16 over. 5pars and a chip in birdie. 26puts with 8 one putts. Then played Friday at 0900 and only had 1 par and shot my worst score since April of 38over. Only hit 2 good drives and 39 putts with only 2 putts and 3 lost balls. Looking back 9 okay tee shots and 9 shockers. Our course hosted the state amateur tourney this week and greens were the fastest I have ever seen them although not an excuse as the conditions were the same as the day before.
Good stuff.
Sounds like you kept the ball in play, got it near the green and was able to get up and down quite a bit on the good round!
Chipped in for birdie on 4 and had 8 one putts and no 3 putts only hitting 2 greens in regulation. Chipping is the best part of my game. It has to be to compensate for the rest of my game.
Good looking 9. Depending on the course rating, it would seem to be right on your handicap index (which is a reflection of your round on a good day). Anywhere specific you feel like you lost some shots on this one?
