    Obviously you're not a golfer.

    Mine is going up like a helium ballon! 6.7

    Low was 3.2 in 2011.

    My irons, all of them, have been dreadful. 3 girs per round if that!

    Pablo i am in the exact same boat as you, steadily rising since a low of 3 in 2011. Up to a 6 now and my iron play is also completely horrendous.

    must be contagious. The rest of my game is pretty good but my iron play has been horrible. Hoping an iron switch will be my cure (probably not but what the heck).
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    Thing for me is that the two times i've been to the range they are spot on, get on the course and splat.

    Dan is halfway through his 10,000 hours, and down to a 4.1 (or less? last updated January 15th). He shot an under-par round recently as well. All the other bloggers have likely fallen off the planet

    I still give him no chance of getting his card at Q-school. Of course, now that Q-school has changed, it's only a Web.com card, but still no chance.

    I have to agree with JVincent. Still impressive no matter what.

    I found that as I improved I was being more agressive in not just hitting greens but going for tougher pins and trying to work the ball in consequence until I came to the realisation that hitting the green period was the best idea and relying on my putter. We all have our ups and downs just like the pros, we are alike that way, ask David Duval

    I have never seen a scratch golfer that can only hit his 9 iron 120 yards. Just sayin...

    You and me both, Pablo! Thankfully I play on such a short course that it doesn't matter if I don't hit it long
