I play about a round a week with my dad at an executive course were the par is 62 and the total yardage is 3802. I did a little calculation on the 10 most previous round and this what I came up with.
Based on my total strokes in those ten rounds my average strokes for the ten rounds is 78.364 my average putts were 34.364 for those ten rounds.
My dad who is a senior, average strokes for the ten rounds came to 91.455 and average putts are 37.
These calculation do not include the slope, these are raw averages based on total strokes and putts.
I did a little more calclations and looked at 3 putts per round as a way of lowering both our scores if we can reduce or eliminate these 3 putts.
In those then rounds I had 34 holes were I 3 putted,crap, which is 27% of my total putts in those ten rounds.
My dad had 48 holes were he 3 putted, he wasnt too happy when I told him, this accounted for 35% of his total putts.
Im going with a 2 prong approach, which will included practicing getting the ball closer to the pin on my second shots on the par 4s and getting the ball closer to the pin on the par 3s and also practicing my long putts to get the ball closer to the hole.
My dads plan if he chooses to accept it is first get him fitted with a new driver and irons,hybrids, hes playing with a taylor made 10.5 degree with a regular stiff shaft which he can get out to about 180yds sometimes less and hes also playing old and I mean old stick, like Ben Hogan Blades from the 60's when he was younger he was ok with these irons but now its a disaster, especially with the 3/4 backswing he has now adays.
After the new stuff comes in for him the plan is to work on his driver swing, keep in the short grass.
2 work on the second shots to the green on the par fours, hes usually over 120-140 yds out and continues to think he can hits 7 iron to the green, a blade 7 iron, hes usually 20 or more yds. short and hes usually short on next pitch shots too which leaves a long putt for par and ends up 3 putting 35% of the time.
3 work on the pitch shots if hes leaving them short with the new equipment.
4 work on getting the long putts closer to the hole, hes deadly 10 feet in.
The story is the same on the par 3's the shortest par 3 is 129yds but its usually into a slight breeze, he pulls out his wedge or 8 iron and leaves it 20yds short, leaves his pitch short and u know the story 3 putt.
I know he wants to play better to lower his scores and I think the new equipment will help him.
Thats the plan did I miss anything?
