I am here to say that I have finally forgotten a round. I went out with my dad in early august when he visited me, but I do not remember much of it hole-by-hole. I know, I am ashamed of myself as well.
But, because I still need to have some psychopathic behavior regarding a hobby I am terrible at, I have created a new way to keep better track of my rounds at all of the golf courses I have played…dating back to whenever. This is the first course. This is my first attempt.
Eventually this google sheet is going to grow and nobody is going to enjoy looking at it but me, but it will hopefully give me a sense of growth…assuming that I will get better. That is a rather big assumption.
But here it is, my very brief recap of my round with my father at Oak Hills on Saturday, August 5th.
NOTABLE OBSERVATIONS FROM THE STATS
- I average a clean five fairways hit per round
- I had seven earlier this year which is my career best at this course.
- However that day I only hit two greens in regulation
- I have hit the second hole fairway four times since keeping track.
- This has to be due in large part to hitting iron off the tee and accepting my fate.
- It is no coincidence that I have hit this green in regulation the most as well.
- I had seven earlier this year which is my career best at this course.
- I average 2.13 greens in regulation per round
- I had a career best five greens hit on July 30th; this was a week before my dad came when I first tried golfing after my elbow. How was I that much better after not playing for two months?
- There are only two holes where I average less than two putts per hole.
- The par four sixth hole and the par four 17th hole.
- I get the 17th hole; that green is very easy. I am a bit surprised about the sixth hole.
- The par four sixth hole and the par four 17th hole.
- My 1.6 chip average on the par three fifth hole is due in large part to me chipping it four times with my dad.
- Score average of 101 seems about right because I never play this course particularly well.
- It is the middle portion of course that kills me. I become a dead man when I hit holes eight through then.
- On all of these holes I average six strokes or higher.
- Is it a coincidence that these are the three longest holes on the course?
- It is the middle portion of course that kills me. I become a dead man when I hit holes eight through then.
- Hole 17…I have hit the fairway three of the last four times, but I have not hit the green in regulation. I have had 130 yards or less into the green each time. Brutal.
