Do most of yours manifest from the same shot or are they spread out too?
I'd never really dug into how/where/why I hit one into a penalty situation before. In part because I usually don't take many but lately I've carded a lot more than normal. Last few years I've been averaging 0.6-0.7 Penalty Strokes /round but I carded 14 in my last 8 rounds (1.75/rnd). After taking 3 more yesterday I was alarmed enough to see why the jump. Maybe I'm missing something but looking into why I'm not sure I learned much I should be working on?
4 were off the tee on P4s or P5s with Drivers: 2 hooks left into water / 2 blocked right OOB (both blocks happened the same round).
2 were off the tee on P3s: PW from 120 long into water / 4H from 195 left into water.
2 were 2nd shot layup attempts on P5s: 6i from rough scuff hooked into waste area / 8i from rough that should've stopped 30 yards short of cross fairway water but unfortunately landed on steep downslope of big fairway mound and kicked all the way in.
4 were 2nd shots into P4s: 6i from 165 slight downhill lie in FW flew pin into waste area long / 6i from 145 ball well below feet in rough scuff/pulled into creek short (both these 6i's were on same hole different day) / 5F from 205 ball well above feet in FW over compensation for expected pull hook and left it right in water / 8i from 140 level lie in FW long into water.
2 were 3rd shots into P5s: GW from 110 slight downhill lie in FW fatted into pond fronting green / SW from 75 ball waaay above feet in very deep rough (honestly 2nd shot should've rolled into pond if bank grass wasn't so long) choked way up but heel caught 1st and and I weakly pull popped it just over my shoulder into pond it belonged in to begin with.
