On an average round, how many penalty shots do you score? When I was able to eliminate those from my round(although never entirely) I found myself scoring much better. The key for me was knowing my limitations. Course management. It is nice when you can fly the hazards, but a layup may score better than a penalty stroke or two or three. Where do you feel the weakness lies? Do you log your rounds? Look at your stats and see where the numbers build. Do you make use of hybrids? When I added hybrids to my bag, my playing from the weeds got much better. I hope you can add more to what you want work on and I am sure this great group here will be more than happy to add their opinions and wisdom.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Penalties range from 3-6 per round. I tend to lose a shot or 2 off the tee and then 1 or so in the water pretty consistently. I feel my weakness seems to be in getting rid of 7/8's. I seem to have 2-3 of those per round. I do log my rounds through OOB and am a member of the THP group on there if you would like to check a few of my scores out. (just transitioned from a different HC tracker so very limited scores) As for hybrids, I have a 3H but honestly get more reliability out of my 4I than the 3H with similar distances. Recently, I have been focusing on shorter putts on the practice green (
