I made 4 double bogeys on Saturday all because my ball off the Tee wasn't good, so I had to chip out
no two chips, no 3 putts and no penalty shots for OB/hazard…those OB are really killers in a "by the rules" match or score. With fairways now drying out time, time to watch out for those rolls that carry it past those white stakes.
The 100 yards in the fairway stat is slightly off as the scratch golfer is there from the tee, whereas us mortals its our 3rd shot😉..
Mark fab video 👌 but we do need to see you and the man you “hate” in a vlog soon? It’s been a minute 😊
I use the Exputt system, its excellent for distance control and has no doubt improved my putting
So many dropped shots from wayward driving. It's been a really big issue lately. Love the video!
I played with a 1.7 index yesterday during my clubs open. Probably only FIR around 5/14 and GIR around 8 or 9 greens, but was always long sided and his short game was excellent. Came in 2 over on a tough set out course
When I was actually improving my handicap (long time passing) I found that my two lowest medal scores happened when I didn't hit any bunkers.
But that involved short straight drives with my 3wood.
My driver would then, and still will today, drop me more shots than the extra yardage gains.
So, some of these stats make sense, others are absolutely against the truth that I've lived with my game 🤔
I find I do have a lot of trouble with distance control on putts when I'm going up or down hill. Is there any trick to learning distance control on grade, or is it just a matter of getting in reps and gaining confidence? I'm currently at 16 but my putting is definitely the main part of my game holding me back.
Best strategy most often is going for middle of the green, or at least avoiding firing at pins. Get good at hitting the ball specific distances into greens, and you will nearly always be close enough to have a great chance to get down in 2.
Love these conversations around what costs strokes and why. Thanks Mark! I guess part of my mentality around about it is to be aggressive off the tee, moderately aggressive going for the next shot…and then boring around the green. It’s kind of helped me, but this stuff is a great breakdown!
I use arccos, exputt and have been custom fit now for all my clubs over time. For some reason left putter to last, but its made the biggest difference to my game by far. I always compare my stats to the next lower handicap, so recently i was off 6 comparing all stats to a 5 hc, now im 4.9 and comparing to a 4 to keep chipping away at those discrepancies. My shlrt game is great, my losses were on putting which is no longer an issue, its now on driving (penalties being my biggest issue). Love using stats, 100% agree with all these points.
Hiw do I stop +11 one day and thw next playing +3?
Been following since 2012, you’ve smashed it mark.
great video. love the data-driven approach.
When I got really into golf I was a 16HCP-ish. Just working on my putting I went to 7.4HCP. I cut out 9ish three puts. People always worry about the big stick, but putting is where you can cut a lot of strokes.
Nice trolleycaddy
Alignment is my downfall. I really struggle sometimes with aiming. It sounds dumb but it is true for me.
Fantastic. I’ve saved more shots by learning how to manage my strengths and weaknesses around the golf course. A lot of that knowledge has come from you and few, selected others. Thanks Mark!
