TR fatbusting/fitness (as a try hard golfer)
-
Forgot to update this, a bad week for me all round, personally.<br />
<br />
Played last Sat, shot same score as week before, stats even worse! <br />
<br />
Score - 83 (ave score 77)<br />
GiR - Ave 45.4% (-8%)<br />
Fairways - Ave 48.6% (-1.4%)<br />
Birdie Conv - Ave 29.4% (-5.5%)<br />
Putts - 32, ave 32 <br />
<br />
Still 95kg, but did no exercise bar the golf. -

What's that saying about golf - ruining a good walk in the countryside!!<br />

<br />
Something more about a little white ball ruining a nice walk... -
Weight 95kg<br />
Cycles to work 2 times (30 mins each way) and did weights once this week. <br />
<br />
Score - 77 (ave 77)<br />
GiR - 50% (ave 46%)<br />
Fairways - 60% (ave 50.2%)<br />
Birdies - 2; conv rate 22.2% (ave 28.4%)<br />
Putts - 35 (ave 33; 1.81 p/h) <br />
*Up & Down - 4/10 (ave 40%)<br />
<br />
Also, as was not playing in any kind of tournament, I had a pedometer to measure my tee shots on all par 4's and 5's, so this included any I hit irons (didn't today) or 3 woods as well as driver - [b]ave drive 273m; longest 301m[/b]<br />
<br />
*new stat that is very important for me; where I am within 40yards of green and I hit on the green and 1 putt, this is an 'up and down' -
Just to give you a bit of perspective (although looking it might not...) here are Tigers stats...<br />
<br />
[quote]2007 Tour Stats<br />
<br />
Driving Distance (Yards Per) 294.2 22nd<br />
Driving Accuracy 53.9% 163rd<br />
Total Driving 185 102nd<br />
Greens Hit in Regulation [b]70.3%[/b] 3rd<br />
Putting (Per Hole) [b]1.735[/b] 6th<br />
Sand Saves 64.0% 3rd<br />
Birdies (Per Round) 3.22 16th<br />
Eagles (Holes Per) 60.0 1st[/quote]<br />
<br />
Bolded bits - GiR means he hits 13 per round (maybe I need to lower my aim) and converts only 25% (again, maybe I need to lower my aim) <br />
2nd bit, is by far the most important bit, putts per hole, means he averages 31.23 per round - crikey, I think I need to re-look at which of my stats I have problems with!! <br />
<br />
Obviously his courses are a damn sight harder than the ones I play, but I am very surprised with those stats! :nta -

<br />
301m drive? Do you mean yards, or was that downhill or something? -
2 x runs, 1 workout - 95kg<br />
<br />
301[b]Metres[/b], and nope, not downhill! I am long.... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> But look down at how often I hit the fairway...meaning I might hit it long, but that can mean a long way in the shit too!! <br />
<br />
Played yesterday, a couple of very embarrassing holes<br />
<br />
Score - 79 (ave 77)<br />
GiR - 50% (ave 46.5%)<br />
Fairways - 40% (ave 48.9%) <br />
Birdies - 2; conversion rate 22.2% (ave 27.6%)<br />

Up/d - 28.57% (ave 34.3%)<br />
Sand saves* - 0% (0/2 - ave 0%)<br />
<br />
*new stat added, because I hadn't been in any bunkers all year!! <br />
<br />
Next week have a match play tournament, 2 rounds on Sat, potentially 2 more on Sunday as well (although the way I have been playing for the 1st nine of each of my last 4 rounds or so, I could have early exits...top 2 inches!! <br />
<br />
I did manage to play 2 of my biggest mental holes well yesterday, par and birdie. -
Have you tried one of the more modern 460cc drivers? I reckon you could take a few shots off your game by using a bigger driver with a sorta 10ish degree loft.<br />
<br />
However you seem better than me so probably best not listening to me <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Nah, am gonna look at upgrading my driver soon though, while the Biggest Big bertha used to be big, it is tiny compared to the modern stuff, mind you, you should see how timy the head on my 3 wood is!! <br />
<br />
BTW, loft is not what matters, is the shaft that makes the difference! My BBB is 7deg, while my 3 wood is 15.5, my last driver was 10.5 and I hit is lower than my current driver! -
No mention of a certain &^%^# putt you had <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

<br />
not specifically, no.... :angry4: <br />
<br />
I have moved on... -
Played in a Matchplay tournament, but missed out on the top 16 on Handicap, so played in division 2, where I had to give shots! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/angry.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
Ended up runner/up in plate. <br />
<br />
Hugely windy too, always makes it more challenging.<br />
<br />
First match, I was 3 holes down with 3 to go, won it on the 19th hole.<br />
<br />
Second match I lost on the 18th, had 3 opportunities to win this match, but couldnt close the deal! <br />
<br />
3rd match, was 1 hole down with 2 to go, had to give a shot on 1 hole (ie me has 4 he has 5, we draw hole) and I birdied the last hole to head down 19 again, and won that. In this one, one of the holes I had to give a shot, I birdied, but so did he which meant I lost! <br />
<br />
Last match, lost on 18th hole, after being 4 holes down with 7 to go.<br />
<br />
Played ok, can't update stats as a number of holes go uncompleted, so given I was a little concerned at being to cope with 72 holes in a weekend, I ended up playing 74! Actually feel like I have played rugby, am aching like hell! <br />
<br />
Still 95kg, cycled, ran & weights last week. May give up on the weight issue, as I feel fitter, am looking trimmer, but not shifting any weight. Been eating extremely healthy the last 2 weeks as well! -

You can only do what you can do!<br />
<br />
I havent weighed myself for 2 weeks, still want to drop a few more kg's but dont want to start obsessing about it, thats for chicks to do!<br />
<br />
Anymore golfing tourny's coming up TR? -
A few coming up around Northland, but am not hugely interested in contesting too many this season, given my inconsistant play at present. <br />
<br />
Is one more that I will play in September, only a 54 hole tournament though. Other than that, just club champs. <br />
<br />
Man am I feeling it today, amazing how much golf takes out of you!! Mind you, I havent played 72 holes in a weekend since I was 22, so maybe something in that... :nta -
I'm always better in the 19th Hole unfortunately! Something of a hacker all though I am improving ever so slightly! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

But this was the 'real' 19th, not that mythical drinking hole! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Mate, if I could only stop hittng 'curve balls' off the tee I'd be on my way to a half decent score and wouldn't be so worried about having that beer at the 'mythical drinking hole'. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

OK, played today, played pretty well, well tee to green, from there it went pear shaped!! <br />

Hit 11/18 greens, 8 of the 1st 11 holes, and couldnt get anything to drop; next week am gonna probably not play but spend a few hours on the practice fairway with my wedges in hand! So often I hit a great tee shot (or 2nd on par 5) only to blow a birdie chance by a poor chip or 50 yard wedge shot, instead of hitting to 2 or 3 feet I am leaving myself with a 10-15ft putt...<br />
<br />
My handicap has moved out to a 6 now... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
After about 40mins practice yesterday, I remembered that standing on a practice fairway hitting ball after ball sucks! So I decided I had just as well play and work on a few things out there...<br />
<br />
Horrific start to my round, 4 over after 2, 6 over after 7, finished 7 over. Once I put my driver away, I was fine! <br />
<br />
Score - 79 (ave 78 +0)<br />

Up/d - 33.3% (ave 31.7% +.5%)<br />
Sand saves - 100% (33% ave +33%)<br />
<br />
Changed something in my stance and all of a sudden I was firing wedge shots at the pin, hit 9 of the last 10 greens, my putting let me down as I failed to convert any, even the 2 foot ones... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> <br />
<br />
The 1 green I missed was a par 5, my 3rd from 125m (front of green) hit a wedge and must have got it so good as I flew it OOB 15m out the back of the green... <br />
<br />
Positive is that my wedge game may be on its way to returning!! -
