What type of player are you?

[LCGALBERTA]

Hello all,

 

What type of player do you consider yourself?

 

I consider myself to have a strategic approach. By that I mean I will purposely set myself up on each hole to try and give myself the best angles or approach shot.

 

e.g- Par 4- 390 yards-trees and water hazards all over- I would tee off with a 3 Hybrid (220 yards roughly) which would leave me 170 yards in for a 7i or 8i depending on if I want to attack the pin or leave it below the hole etc.

I’m a swashbuckler without enough swash.

[ttice6]

Bomb and gouge. I don’t have enough game to be overly strategic.

[bladehunter]

Aggressive. Don’t understand being afraid of a pin placement. When you putt as streaky as me you have to hit it close.

[LCGALBERTA]

@Bladehunter - Its not that I'm afraid of a pin placement its just that I prefer to have a strategic approach to how I tackle each hole on any course. Its not like I'm laying up on a par 3 when I know I can attack it hard.

[SNIPERBBB]

Bomb 'n gouge. Layup when I have too, can go strategic when needed but that isn't needed on most courses that I play.

[Justsomeguy]

I hit several strategic PW into every hole to make sure I'm very strategic about the whole thing. Then maybe an easy 9i for the last 200 yards once I know I've got it right where I want it.

3 wood (270) + sand wedge (120)= Birdie.

 

or

 

2 iron UDI (240) + pitching wedge (150)= Birdie

[ebrasmus21]

Hit it. Find it. Hit it again.

[juststeve]

I'c cautiously aggressive targeting the safe side of most pins.

I have an aggressive swing but a conservative mind set.

 

I'm trying to go the opposite with this. Last week, was off to a stinking start with former, then went to latter and made a birdie on a 190 yard par 3 and played solid for next 9 holes.

 

Essentially I'm see myself as an even keeled grinder but maybe I'm just a medicated bi-polar schizo.

[ZA206]

Mostly conservative off the tee, mostly aggressive on approach shots. Need to be a better putter... :jester:

[Johnny_Fairway]

Average. Maybe a little less.

Driver- 500, overshoot hole just a little.

9i - 200, eagle it right into the cup (forget putting).

[2putttom]

I'm a plodder from tee to green . On the green I'm aggressive, I either hit the back of the cup or roll it five feet past.

[Baitkiller]

Driver...crap

4 iron

Wedge wedge

Put put put

Put me down for a 6

While not very long off the tee, I do try to put my approach shots in an area where if I don't reach the green, I will have a decent spot to chip from. My goal is to minimize the impact of bad shots and try to have a decent shot at par on most holes.

[smeal818]

I'm extremely conservative with my putter, long come-backers get in my head. With the all other shots I just use common sense and the amount of risky shots goes up or down depending on how I'm striking it.

[CDG1029]

Aggressive but not stupid off the tee, as long as I can go without putting myself in danger with a small miss, very conservative on approaches, aim for the center of the green and don’t try to get fancy, and s**t my pants when I’m putting because I will 3 putt anything outside of 20’ guaranteed.

 

If I could learn distance control and stick with a consistent set up, grip, and stroke while putting I could shave a handful of strokes off my index.

[FullOfBrushMan]

Boring type.

 

Bomb a drive, approach to within average length, 2 putt for par because I always burn the edge, eff you groundskeeper who always cut the hole on a slope, and move on.

[vietnameeh]

I'm not a player I just crush a lot

[Petunia Sprinkle]

I’m like Don Quixote. There isn’t a windmill I won’t take a wild swipe at.

[dg_1983]

Is there a multiple choice list I can pick from?

 

I've no idea.

 

Hit it, find it, repeat

Great choices, why putt when you don't have to. Putting isn't for everyone.

[clevited]

I subscribe to the GIARI playstyle. (grip it and rip it).
