Talk about a bad game...

8 fairways hit (which is pretty normal for me). 1 green hit. Which turned out to be my only par. No birdies.
so yea, you can only guess what kind of score I got. Weird thing is even though I shot 105, I was quite happy. I think it's because I don't lose many golf balls (new) and after that the score doesn't matter as much. Anyway I digress.

I haven't had a chance to practice at all here, so I blame that for my crappy short game. However, I find it impossibly difficult to hit chip shots from the rough. I just can't find the green. It's either the 2 yard flubs for the 40 yard shots that go to the next tee box... And I don't understand why...

One the other hand. I love hitting on hills now. My favorite is playing the ball below my feet. It basically takes the thought of chunking shots out of my mind(a big mind block for me) and I can swing freely. I pretty much hit all the sloped shots well (well for me I might add).

Here's a nice stat for you. On my back nine, I had 13 putts (no three putts), hit 4/7 fairways, didn't lose a golf ball, didn't take any penalties, and I shot a 53 (par was 36). Someone do the math on that...sigh...

one thing that helped this part of my game was going to the local park with lots of balls and hitting chips from 5 yards to around 40ish... Watched some videos that were on Youtube before I went.. dropped an easy 5-10 strokes off my game...

I've been in the same boat. My usually reliable short game is crap. And my results have been quite similar to yours. No short game, no scoring.
