The snow is piling up on the roof, there is no chanse of practicing anything but putting on the carpet, so it is time to ponder the year that went and to make plans for the coming season.
My "normal" score is in the vicinity between 78 and 82. I usually hiy 9 or 10 greens, I have around 30 putts, I hit 9 or 10 fairways. I get up and down from a bunker around 30% of the time, and around 50% if I'm close to the green (fringe). A little bit further off and I don't get down as much as I would like to. I began playing when I was 9 years old and stopped cold turkey when I was 19. Took up the game again at 43 and playing of a 6 hcp now at age 52. I can usually get one good round together in a season, playing on par or maybe even a shot below.
For the upcoming season my main priority is that my "normal" round should be between 74 and 77.A good round between 71 and 73 and an exceptional round would be breaking 70. I am racking my - granted insufficient - noggin to figure out what it is I have to accomplish in order to raise my "worst" level a few strokes. I'm actually OK if I won't make a 69 in the upcoming season, but I really would like to not go over 76 under normal conditions.
Doesn anyone have some advice that can help me get rid of those 3-4-or-5 unnnecessary shots in a round?
