Par4QC Players get way too hung up on certain stats, like GIRs or even putts per round......meaningless, at best. Get hung up on your score, the only damn thing that counts. Get hung up on how you play the game. Handicaps will drop. Like they even matter.
Correct… some days you just hit it like shit… that’s life. So you have to focus to score. As a kid I’d spend a ton of time on the practice green chipping and putting, hitting sand shots… Around the green is what saves your score. I could go out and hit every GIR, take 35 putts and shoot even par. I could go out and hit it like crap, hit 9 greens but get it up and down all day, maybe birdie a par 5 or 2 and shoot even par as well. In the end, 72 is 72.
Like Rex said, focus on how to score.
