For those of you at 5.0 or less and that don't mind, please post in this thread with your handicap, state, and the best part of your game.

Thanks for the help!

I'm a 2.9, live in Texas, and I hit it pretty straight.

I'm a 3.8 and live in Alberta.  Ball striking is strength.  9iron to Driver.  Wedges are laughable.  Putting is extremely average.

3.0. Vail, CO. I can get it up and down out of a trash can (doesn't mean I will).  I am also a snob.

0.4...CA.  shortish pitches and chipping...scrambling if you would like are my weakness.  Driving is strength.  Long and consistent tee shots

+0.9, Driving the ball, TN. Chipping is the weakness. Actually, it's worse than that. Chipping is abominable.

Don't play much anymore, but still hanging in there at a 3.8. I'm in Arizona. Long game has always been my strength, driving especially. Pretty good chipper. Average, at best, putter, and very poor iron player. Though I got a newer set of irons last years and it seems to have improved that somewhat.

3.0, Hampshire, England. Not massively long (apparently it's to do with long muscle nerves or something) but pretty straight. Mid to short irons I reckon to be pretty good. Pitching and running reasonable. Couldn't hit a barn door from 20 yards with a 60 degree wedge.

4.5 Washington State and the Phoenix area in winter.  I know I am lucky.  I do not hit many double bogey shots, short game is decent.  Used to be a very good short putter, now only average at best.  Like a couple others, pitch shots from 60 yd in are laughable at times.  At 65, for some reason I can still hit it far enough to score as long as the course does not feature 450 plus par fours.

4.4

Maine

Good shots off the sweet spot are quite good, e.g. 280-yard drive or hit the green with a five iron.

 2.8.  Illinois.  Iron play from 80 - 165 is strong suit.  Chipping is awful, missing a green means bogey.

I have lost all faith. Mr. Moore was the last person that I thought would fall for this ruse.

At 2.5, methinks you don't know the definition of ugly. ;D

3.7.  Texas.  Driving is the best part of my game.  Like a number of others here my game from 75 yards in is not what it should be.  I'm more likely to hit it close with a 3-hybrid than a wedge.
