Re: Rate your game
Driving 3
Irons 7
Chipping 8
Bunkers 2
Putting 5
Bearing in mind I am a 5 handicap I think this is a fair assesment of how my game is split up.
I am a reasonably straight driver of the ball and I average about 260, maxing out at about 290 with a big swat.
My irons are a little weaker, I have good control, but I do suffer a little in terms of distance I am usually a club shorter than my peers.
Chipping is the weakes part of my game, it goes from the sublime to the ridiculous, some days I can chip inside 3 feet everytime, sometimes it goes off the other side of the green.
Bunker play is probably the strongest relative part of my game, I am able to play different shots out of the bunkers, high ones that spin, lower ones that run out. I can pretty much get it out of any lie except plugged in a soaking wet bunker a foot from the face (answers on a postcard about that one).
My putting is average for my handicap to be honest. I am pretty solid from 10 feet and in, my long range putting has its moments but I am one of those people who likes a nice mid pace surface rather than a hard fast surface.

Putting 18 (thats probably harsh on 18 handicappers as well)
Play off 5 and shows that my short game is rubbish - i think its due the fact ive only been playing golf for 6yrs and have spent nearly all my practice time at the range and not on the practice ground.Comment

Re: Rate your game
Well heres my views
Driving - 10 (My biggest strength)
Irons - 28 (Got a problem with long irons at the moment)
Chipping - 26 (Real problems here need more practice with umbrella)
Bunkers - 12 (They dont frighten me anymore in fact love the sand around the pin as I can control ball more lol)
Putting - 13 (Puts under 6 ft 90% go in for over 6ft only 35% go in)
Cheers

Re: Rate your game
Im confused, shouldnt your average rating be somewhat close to your handicap?
Most people are way off, especially the higher handicaps.
I think people think they are better than they are, but if you are off 25 and all of your ratings are below 20 then you must be pretty ****py at the rules of golf or something.

Re: Rate your game
You see what I mean?Originally posted by Robert O' Keeffe
The above ratings average to a much better handicap than 18 (assuming you are not in bunkers 20 times a round)
So why are you off 18 and not 12?Comment
