What is your Achilles heel on the course?

[KWK82]

Everyone has one aspect that is the most challenging for them such as distance, trees, water, etc. Mine is elevation. Whenever elevation is involved it completely throws me off. I just recently played the course in the link below and it had a lot of elevation shots. What is your Achilles heel on the course?

Release angle. Period.

When I need to scramble. Bad drives happen to everyone, but I have a knack for doing very dumb things trying to save par/bogey from a bad lie when I really need to just pitch out and take my medicine

Island greens.

 

[MarkDSM]

Distraction

Not following through

:clap:...well I thought you should know that SOMEbody got it, anyway.

 

[mikeykline]

Mental game. I just need to relax more, it seems to bite me in the behind!

 

[Stable]

I have an epic habit of allowing one mistake to snowball into many. Mental mistakes. I have to focus on managing a round better and forgetting about mistakes.

 

[Guurn]

Putting, no question. I've worked on it for a long time but it never gets better. The only upside is that my driving is pretty accurate so I can avoid putting.

 

[notapro]

Putting for sure. Some days I'm great, some days I'm meh, and some days I get the yips so bad I want to put all my stuff on the marketplace.

This weekend at an Atier I missed at least 20 putts inside 20ft. After the first round in which I made 7 2s and only shot +4, I got the yips for the rest of the tourney. Doink Clang Clunk Whiff I had 'em all....

 

[Moose33]

Mine is letting small things effect my game. Feel a gust of wind right bedore I putt, should I switch putters? Spin the putter more?

A group lets me play through and a guy is close to my ideal line, donInchangw the way I throw this drive?

Just got to shake those little things off.

 

[Halcón]

Pace of play kills me. Both if I am slowed down and if I'm feeling rushed.

+1...

Distance. Specifically I will practice my form throughout the week, just standstill in the living room, working on feeling the right pull in my hips for timing. I get on the course and suddenly it's like I forget everything I practiced. It's like my upper and lower body are no longer connected.

 

[Mocheez]

Short putts, off balance with trees or other foliage in the way.

 

[BrotherDave]

Wide open 300' holes strangely vex me. Can't putt within 30' & 20' from the basket. Natural tees.

 

[runningDoc]

Wide open 300' holes strangely vex me.

same here, I've parked 375ft+ wooded shots that require a lot of shot shaping (where the shot probably travelled a lot longer), but put a wide open 350ft or longer hole in front of me and I'm left to my own devices... I can't even seem to get 330ft of power in a wide freaking open field.

It pains me to say it again... it seems like I can throw a lot further when I need to thread a shot through woods than a damn open field.

 

[GripEnemy]

First shot, first hole. If I choke on my initial drive it's tough for me to recover the entire round. Holes....11/12/13/14 all ****ty? No big deal I'll kill the last four. Terrible drive on hole #1? Probably SOL the rest of the round:wall:

Wide open courses. SO MANY OPTIONS. I'm used to playing woods and when I have all the choices in the world I don't always pick the right ones:|

Rate of play. If there's a group behind me/us, I suck. No ifs, ands, or buts. At the same time, if my group is playing slow or behind another, I also don't play as well. I play alone or with one other person so often that I struggle in 4s or 5s - a big reason I don't play tournaments often.

Aeros.
