Why???

[tigerphan]

tourament golf scores so different

I play all the same rules playing and practicing and I shoot every time around par or better, then I go play a tourment and shot 94 like today! I just don't get it :russian_roulette:

[armydiver]

That dont sound right at all. Why a 94 are you shanking or something?

[Jimbo999]

Pressure? Nerves? I once shot high 90's a couple of years back in a competative round before I was totally confident in my ability.

No, not hitting the ball bad

I am confident in my abiltiy, its just I'll shot some random stupid round, like in a major tourney this past summer I went 76-79-91-75, and then in high school golf in the spring 65, then 73, then 88, and I've had a few other touraments where I'll shot some stupid rounds. I just don't get it

[DaveyH]

not hitting the ball bad and shooting 94?
and you usually break par?

yes, now thinking back, maybe it is course management, considering I probley didn't hit enough fairways, but that still isn't the point, I do this alot, and just don't get it FML

[armydiver]

If your not hitting it bad, then it has to be mental and short game.

I would think if you achieve par or break it on a regular basis, you would be able to pinpoint what you're doing wrong. Most good players realize what's going wrong and can even fix it during the round on occasion. I wish you the best, but are you three putting? Taking penalties? It should be more obvious than elusive.

I think it isn't as obvious, now looking back, because simply everything is going wrong.

so you are saying you go through multiple holes on a round, hitting the ball well, and card multiple 6's, and you have NO IDEA what happened to card 6s or 7s?

im confused.

and some seriously bad things happend, some of which i though could never hapeen in a life time

[youngwaldo]

Practice your putting. The putter is a great equalizer.

There's your answer, you don't accept responsibility for your poor performance. You think your jsut getting bad luck, and its not allowing you too see what your actually doing wrong, so that you can improve it.

Bad bounces turn a 72 into a 76 not a 94. You have to get real with your self.

Unless you're playing a links course those bounces don't happen that often. If the fairway is that narrow to allow that hit a 3 wood or hybrid that won't roll out.

no, I am real with myself, considering I went out today since then, play 1300 yards longer and was -1 ( the crap course was 5700 yards HS golf, this is a Canadian Tour corse 7000 yards). I'm jsut convinced its just that course now, none of my other good golfer buddies( who are scratch to 5) broke 80.

BTW somehow I was putting good from short range, but it doesn't help if your getting bad breaks lol

[pinhigh27]

I don't get how a + shoots 94 without the shanks, pretty crazy.

There you go again, justifying your bad play. Your hopeless unless you change your attitude. 5700 yards, and you shot 94? Sounds like terrible course management, and hitting drivers where they aren't called for.

If a hole is narrow enough for a drive to hit the fairway and bounce into woods, you shouldn't be hitting drivers.

okay, first shot of the day, 3 iron, hit middle of fairway, then kicks 90* right in trees 20 yards away, course management?

Edit- I could tell of many unlucky kicks every hole of this course.

I'm starting to think it was jsut the course not me....though I am going back there this weekend coming up for a tourament...

[mikec222]

Whatever you need to tell yourself... Even if you bounced in the woods every hole 94 still sucks for someone who breaks par on a regular basis.

[RRyders88]

End thread...u dont shoot over 20 over due to bad luck. u need to stop blaming luck, and grinding out a golf game in a tournament. so ur shot bounces in the trees...take ur medicine, punch out, make no worse than bogey...something tells me u dont have anywhere near that kind of logic.

[bobobs]

Is the course you played Orr Lake?

[mikec222]

man i played like crap the other day and posted a number near there, worst round i've played since I was 13, I'm still in disbelief you don't know how it happened, I know exactly what happened in my round, I got a ten on a hole then the sh*t hit the fan. Started spraying it everywhere, must have had like 15 penalty shots. It was freezing and raining and thundering and lightning too, never helps.

[El Pato]

For me.... its the pressure.

[TJK9787]

Played the first round of my club championship on saturday and shot a 93. Usually shoot mid 70's. Two double bogeys and a triple on the first 3 holes and I was mentally out of it after that. I was hitting 150 yard grounders with my driver the rest of the day.

Its odd how a few bad holes, will somehow ruin your swing, sucks when it happens though. Golf's quite a game, I just felt like crap because mine was in a team event.

[dopeTT]

when i have a round like that its always something that happens with my driver. like pulling drives into fairway bunkers and chunking it trying to get out. then i get frustrated and my confidence goes down and cant focus. no one plays perfect every round.

[chatfieldgolf08]

sounds like you arent trying to limit your damage on your so called "unlucky" shots. In my club championship I was able to limit the damage and avoid some big numbers. Playing "boring" golf by hitting fairways and greens is a good way to avoid the high numbers. Next time, try not hitting the club that hits the fairway and goes 90* to the right or left. If you are a .3 handicap, hitting a longer shot into the green shouldnt be any problem right???

no lol, wasnt in rotation this year, but would of preferd it, good karma there ahha



looking back now this winter, i agree with everyone, i had an awful attitude, though i never gave up, too much trying to force things to happen. actually now i'm happy i shot 94, i have learned so much more since then on how to fix the mistakes, , thanks fore everyones advice
