Doubles or Worse Per Round Per Index:
0 = 0.7
10 = 2.9
20 = 6.6
Looks like you had Laranjal all to yourself ( and Rory + Coach)!
I probably make around 6-7 per round. Mostly too many putts, plus issues from the sand and the occasional wayward drive.
Wonderful topic with great advice. Although, I think you disproved your Instagram / YT Short where you asked if short game or off the tee accuracy was more important to improve one's scores. If I understood it correctly, you said off the tee accuracy was more important, where as many said short game. If these 5 reasons for double bogey's are ranked in order of frequency / effect, the top 3 all involve short game technique and thinking don't they? As even when punching out with a 7i or whatever from in the trouble, that shot is essentially a short game technique (i.e. the chip and run with the 8i you showed is basically the same swing and technique with the 7i punch out, just with more power). Of course this is speaking in a general sense, each person needs to evaluate their game's strengths and weaknesses.
Also interesting to note, regardless of what is more important, the interesting bit for most of this advice is it's all mental / strategy. Picking targets and shot types per a given situation as there's so many options on what to do with so many variables that influence what to do… all of it comes down to experience and tribal knowledge from having played from those situations and trying different things to see what works.
I can never recover from a perfect tee shot.
I am a 19 index (Greg probably likes me then as I’m under 20!). I average 7.5 per round!
Double Chips: Why I started using a hybrid if possible (fairway lies).
Excellent advice on course management when playing. Cheers.
On short pitches/chips and greenside bunkers I've adopted the attitude of "Just get it on the green somewhere" and I feel like it is saving me a stroke or two per round.
I'm a 13.6 handicap and double chips are preventing me from breaking 80.
9.6 Index – Losing my Drive into gauze bushes on my home links course is my downfall. Average two ‘3 off the tees’ a round.
This would be a great topic for a podcast…..
blurry video?
Mark you mentioned Par4Success on several pods now. Have you shared the link? Can’t find it. Cheers bra.
I make 1 to 2 as a six my goal is zero, and they are always a result of hitting the ball out of play, hazard or ob
I wish that I had a good place to practice. I went to the golf course to practice pitching and chipping and they told me that I couldn’t even though I play there every week.
Last week I (16hcp) just played my first db free 18 hole round ever, at the Montgomerie course in Belek. There the reason is obvious for me, no real rough, easy semi rough, you can hardly lose a ball if you don’t spray it all over the place.
What causes it?
I’m shit…. That’s what causes it. I top the ball, I slice the ball and I can’t get more than 160 yards off the tee.
Wish me luck for tomorrow morning – and sympathy for my wonderful playing partners
Most definitely my shortish putts and the occasional greenside bunker cause my doubles approx two to three per round
Mark is looking dapper in those shorts..😄🏌
I have more than average for my index. Mid handicapper that has ok distance so can reach almost all par 4s and occasionally a par 5 in 4. However a lack of skill (which is often random lapses in concentration) kill me.
Mark. Love your content but please learn the difference between a graph and a chart!
Playing 9 holes on a Saturday now. Still always same issue with doubles. Hit the ball off the golf course. Rugby lad with loads of speed. Trying to hit it straight but occasionally it is still gone. 6 iron OB second shot Par 5! 😂 Double me up ⬆️
I’m a 12 index, about average about 6 doubles a round 😖 maybe I need to make a couple less 🤦🏼♂️🤣
My doubles are usually the result of poor ball striking. If I'm on in regulation or very close I rarely double. In order to have a chance at good ball striking I need to be in the fairway. So in the end it comes down to how well I'm driving the ball. P.S. 180!
3.5 HI, probably average 1 per.round
Love the footage, nice bit of club twirling going on as well.
Hi Mark, thanks for the interesting question. Made me think and review a bit my game. According to my data, I played this season 2,25% of my holes with a double bogey or worse. Thus, every 45 holes I played a double bogey or worse. Fun fact: these 2 db and 1 tb were all resulting from one bad round. Two from poor pitch resp. chip shots from 85 / 41 m with both times I had to play over a bunker (one resulting in a penalty shot) and one from a stupid hero shot.
Great video Mark! Cool venue
1 or maybe 2 a round but sometimes none.
Course Management is the best thing to learn IMO.
I can spray it all over the place at times, but course management has saved more rounds than I care to admit.
I'll take 7iron instead of 3W if the chances are slim.
I shoot 80's usually ,the guys hittin' 3W usually hit 95-105.
It is what it is, they don't listen to me.
