When you play a multi round, or 72 hole event where a stroke here or there means cash or qualifying, you obviously need to get every possible stroke out of your game. The monday qualifier for the Mylan Nationwide event was in Pittsburgh at a 6600yd par 70 course where we play some section events. On paper you would think 63 would qualify but both years i think 67 led and there was a ton of scores fro 72-74 from quality players. Many came up from the south to try and im sure they would say there was a serious adjustment to the grasses, slopes and speed of the greens.
I averaged 68.6 for the TriState section events this year. Largely because my wedges improved, I dont 3 putt, usually cover my 5 feet and in putts, have good distance control, etc. Whatever. But I averaged 72.2 in the Tour Qualifier because i had a 4 putt, five 3 putts, struggled with sea level distance control, caught 2 fliers, and planned for a few bermuda fliers that came out soft. All my fault. But anyone who plays alot of golf can see how those little things could add a few shots per round and in a 72 holes event all of a sudden you look like you cant play at all.
