Got the Irish on Game Golf this year.  The jerkylickers in my group decided they were cool and wanted to play the tips.  That was just stupid.  We played it from 7200.  It was in the 40s with 20+ mph

Played the back nine soaking wet, rain gloves that were soaked, wind howling, and somehow managed a 42. Out with a 43 for an 85 total from 6600 or so. Not too bad.

Brutal course on a tough day. That's a lot better than "not too bad"! :beer:

Thanks. We got a very good caddy as well so that helped a ton. I did not hit many fairways but drove the ball well actually, except for one hole. Pretty much topped my drive. Hacked it out of the thick stuff. Had about 115-120 left into the wind with a blind approach. Caddy says hit it with the140 club. Hit it to 3' for a par. :D. His reads were pretty spot on for the greens as well. I was talking to him about some of the things from LSW, and being a guy that looks at various golfers every day, he pretty much agreed with everything which was pretty cool.

Started with a birdie?  You had to be pumped!  I won't ask about the 3-jack double on 18 though.  What's the CR and slope from those tees?

Great pics.  Even though I'm originally from that neck of the woods, Kohler is still a bucket list destination for me.

Great pics.  Even though I'm originally from that neck of the woods, Kohler is still a bucket list destination for me.

The slope/rating from the green tees at 6663 is 141/71.9.  It seems a bit light to me...?  Not sure.  I am no expert on that stuff.

On 18 they had the green tees back a box I believe.  I hit a nice drive played it out to the right rough to stay away from the abyss down to the left.  I did not want to be there.  I had pretty much no shot at the pin at about 225 to the back left position.  I played a 7W into a decent wind out to the right and just hoped to pitch and putt for par/bogey. I hit that shot fine.  Kind of rushed my 40 yard or so pitch which I tried to hit low to the middle of the green.  I had a semi-flub and only made it to the front of the green.  Had about 50 feet left, and I miss, I miss, I make.  I also left two putts under 8 feet and one putt under 5 out there as well.  One was another birdie putt on 2 that was only about 7' that I missed.   After the birdie on one I turned to the caddy and said "Don't get it in your head that it is going to be this easy all day." ;-)

You should, it is the most amazing golf course I have ever played.  So much fun.  I really enjoyed playing with a caddy as well.  It allows you to be a really stupid monkey.  He tells you what yardage to hit and where to aim it and you just say, okay and then do it.  There is mot much thinking involved. :-D

That would really have been great if you had converted the birdie on 2...

Yes I am going to play it.  Start saving $15 a pay check and come join me! :-D

Yeah I hit my line on the second but just hit it way too hard.  That was the theme of the day, I had troubles with hitting the ball 3-5 feet past the hole a lot.

I got a bit lucky with the birdie putt on the first.  I probably hit it 4-5 feet past the hole but just kind of banged it in on the 20 footer.  The pin was tucked in the front left and front left of the green is all kinds of trouble.  I hit a nice drive and only had 85 yards left.  I played it pin high about 20 feet out to the right to account for any slight pull.  It worked out nicely.  It sure would have been cool to start out birdie, birdie though.  The 7' putt on number two was pretty easy.

That a guy, we can plan it later in the year, but we should start saving up.  I'll try and save a little extra for some help if needed.

I would love to play that course! It's on my list as well but not near good enough in my opinion. I shoot 95-105 on "decent" course, Geneva National, Hawks View, for example. I would be looking at 120 and probably 12-15 lost balls! lol.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By retoid ·

      First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By snapfade ·

      I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By iacas ·

      What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
