sneakyf:However chris I can see you have moaned a few times before, so maybe the thing to do would be practice so your consistent rather than as you have earmarked me as "having a bad round".
Me???? Practice????????? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
-2 to me is A BAD ROUND, (myself, anything worse than -10 any where, its a bad round!)
sneakyf: Such as today playing Oakmont, I am in the rough round the green, rough 25- 30% pin is 12 yds away no incline or rise, so naturally you take 12yds add 25% which equals another 3yds so total is 15yds, I actually only took a 12 yd pitch and guess what.................7yds past the hole...............yea RIGHT , WGT your pants
Its just the usual "deviation" you get from WGT, i had 11 yard chip from 20% rough with backspin this morning go 14 yards, then next hole when i used the 11 yard chip from NO ROUGH hoping to stretch it to12 yards (thinking of hole it made 14) it only went 9. But same chip yesterday went 13 yards! And i had 17 yard pitch shot from bunker in b'page go 20 yards!! What i think might happen, some shots out of rough don't actually register spin (if you put on) and that's why they roll further. My cleveland wedge although with spin on it, rolls for miles out of 40% bunker, where as my old zatin, with less spin never seemed to roll as far.
St andrews ready go 2 days ago, i score 58 easily, yesterday i could only struggle to get 64 due to my irons seeming as the precision circle had been widened. I put this down to a bad round, moved on to next round, and scored well again. There's bound to be duff "unexplainable" shots now and again. (like my 105 yard wedge going 103 yards in 13 mph tailwind, or my 175 yard iron going 178 yards in 18 mph wind pointing at 5 o'clock) Or this putt which was the result of mentioned iron shot 26 feet to pin, hit with 22 feet of power,more than enough for tournament green usually (Next round 22 foot of power goes 30 feet!!.) I was getting this all round, putts missing by inches etc etc, Frustrating it is, but there's nothing we can do about it but move on because i know maybe next round the shots wil be normal again & putts will go in.
My conclusion (ready go's at least) is that some rounds the "deviation" shackles come off, and you can score well (maybe win a tourney), other rounds it is impossible to score well, your precision circle increases and you get unexplainable shots like my wedge instance above and the round is full of negative deviation.
