Note that I probably subconsciously overestimated my skills in order to look good on the internet. :doh:

Overall my driving game is pretty solid. I've also got a good arsenal of get-out-of-jail shots that I've developed over the years. Putting and mental game are where I really seem to struggle in tournaments.
I can hang with open players for the most part. But when we add up the scores at the end, I'm way behind because of all the missed 20-30 footers. I just rarely make anything outside 20' in a tourney round, and once I've missed a few then my putting mental game collapses. I'm usually overthinking my whole putting stroke and changing things mid-round.
My best rounds come when I can really dedicate a bunch of time to putting practice in the weeks leading up to the tournament, and get a consistent motion without thinking. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time lately.

I don't have any "get out of trouble" shots. I've never needed one.
Fun is for small children. I haven't had fun in a decade.

Overall consistency: Int
I feel like all the skills are still there, I just have to practice more to be able to put round after round together in a consistent manner. Drives are decent distance but not all star, definitely more accurate than powerful. Upshots have always been a stronger point because I'm left with more distance to the hole than top advanced players on 500+ holes, so I have to be good on longer approaches. Able to scramble to save par with a lot of different shots.

Seriously though. I am basically able to keep up with my friends due to extreme confidence on the putts both jumper and circle. Good approaches. And smart decision making. I can't throw nearly as far as everyone else I play with, but I hang right with them as the bastion of consistency.

You must be a real blast in person.
Fun is for everyone. You have to grow older. You don't have to grow up.

Wouldn't this only matter if you've played tournaments recently? I've played one in the last 3 years. And it was a couple of weeks after starting to pick the game up again. Where I'm at now isn't even represented by where I was 6 weeks ago.
