What'd You Shoot Today? - Page 477

38 (+5)   12 putts :o

 

I'm bored, so I'll type up a hole-by-hole summary. My putting was phenomenal today, the greens were a bit wet, I think that took a bit of the break out.

 

#1. (Par 4)

Hit a hybrid fat off the tee

Topped a 7 iron

Sand wedge to the fringe

Chip to ~8 feet

Putted it in

 

#2 (Par 4)

(Hybrid) Shocking low ball flight but the ball rolled for a while, so my distance was pretty good in the end

Sand wedge to 20 feet

Putted it in :D

 

#3 (Par 4)

I'd found a titleist ball in the rough on the last hole, so I gave that a good whack with my driver, and it was perfect. 20 yards further than I've ever been on this hole

Fat pitching wedge to the left rough

Poor chip shot to 25 feet

Lipped it out

Tap in bogey.

#5 (Par 4)

Decent hybrid shot

Pitching wedge over a tree - gets a bad kick and ends up on the back fringe

Chipped it to 1 foot

#6 (Par 3)
9i to the left fringe

My sole bad putt of the day from about 50 feet - left it about 12 feet short

Missed

Tap in bogey

 

#7 (Par 3) - A hole I regularly double.

6i to the back fringe

~30 footer, with a lot of left to right break - I sink it for a birdie :D

Good drive down the centre

Fat sand wedge into a front bunker

Terrible bunker shot to rough

Chip to ~12 feet

Made the putt (again)

Try to hack it out, but it ends up in the same spot

Over the green

Chip to 2 feet

Double bogey :(

 

Long game: D+

Short game: A

 

Shot a 79 (42/37). Pretty happy as I played from the tips here at Oak Creek and hit the ball extremely well on the back 9. Missed some makable birdies... But overall really pleased with where my game is headed.

Shot a 75 (40/35) on a par 58.  First time ever shooting sub-bogey golf!!!  New putter working like a charm.  Couple of lost balls as the round was at night kept it from being even better.

Today marked my second day of golf tryouts for my highschool golf team. I came out and shot a nice 41 through nine to make my Valentine's Day complete! How sweet...

Solid day today. -2, 68 at my home course. Had a couple of goof-ups, but I've already forgotten those. Overall I played quite solid, was bogey-free until 9. Hit a good majority of my shots right where and how I wanted. Rolled in a couple of nice long birdie putts and made all but one from 3' and in.

 

Two shots of the day include; a nice 35y bunker shot with my 54* that I hit to 15'. I've been having a real tough time with my bunker play lately, so it was nice to hit something close. Plus I made the putt on top of that! Second shot of the day was a 58* from 49y. I put in some serious time on these shots yesterday. I picked my yardage, 38y, set up, and hit away. The ball landed in the perfect spot, rolled up and lipped out for eagle, leaving a 3' putt for birdie.

 

Practice really does pay off!

Shot one-over 36 at Winter Park. Bookend birdies on 1 and 9. The yoga is really helping.

I shot 74, The new swing overhaul is going great... a couple of balls O.B. didn't help much today. However, the highlight of the round was on #4, I finally made a Hole in One!!!!!

shot an 88 today. trying to average down in the low 80's by spring. Best round so far this year was an 84. I think if i keep at it and keep working on my swing and shots within a 100 yards ill break 80 at least once this year. On a positive note my putting was decent today but still a work in progress.

Had a rough 9 holes this morning. It was a cold morning (~37*) with a light rain and a hangover. Started off bad, cracked my driver on the first tee...not a big crack, but a crack none the less. Hit a number of fat shots with the ground being a bit soggy, and kept leaving putts short. Ended the 9 holes with a 46.

I shot a 96 today, which I believe is the first time I've broken 100 since taking most of last spring and summer off. Today was the first round in a long time where I felt like my game was improving. If I could start controlling my driver, I think I can move beyond the low-mid 90s I've basically been shooting for the last several years.

I was only able to get 9 holes in this afternoon... But shot a 38.  7 pars and 2 bogeys.  Pretty fun round as I had several birdie putts... Just couldn't get one to drop.

Let's just say I broke a window in the building across the parking lot on the 10th tee.  Groan.  Lost 4 Gamer V's, but found 8 Pro Vs :)

Had the worst round in a couple years.  Was inconsistent off the tee, left, right, left, right and even popped on up about 80 yards.  My distances on my irons were way off for some reason, I was hitting my short irons 20 yards longer than normal and my long irons 20 yards shorter.  I couldn't hit a wedge to save my life all day.  My putting was pretty good though.

 

The course we were playing was horrible, I was getting better lies in the rough than in the fairway because there were huge bare spots (40ft wide and deep).  I just wasn't comfortable standing over my shots at all. Ended up with a 105, and I'm typically in the high 80's lately.

First full 18 of the year and shot a 102.  Couldn't go to the driving range before cause it was closed for some reason and the greens were a lot slower than I was expecting so my first 3 holes were a complete disaster (7, 6 and a 9).  After that I start settling in a bit but my front 9 was still kind of a mess. 

 

Turned it around on the bank 9 and shot a 48 which I was pretty happy with. 

Went to my favorite cow pasture golf course and shot 94. I was OK with that considering available practice time recently.  I had not hit my driver in a while so had to back off to settle down.

Happy with chip shots. Went for a risky ending on 18 that likely cost me a stroke or two but good learning experience.

I've played 3 9 hole rounds and one full 18 hole rounds with scores of 42, 41, 48 and 85. Temps ranged anywhere from 48 down to 43 degrees and a steady light rain (my last18 hole round). I've mostly hit my driver OK, with my last round hitting 7 of 15 FW. My iron play sucks as last round I only hit 2 of 18 greens, but scrambled well and got up and down 5 times for par and had only 3 doubles bogeys. The greens were soaking wet and some had standing water, but I stubbornly putted out and had no 3 putts. All in all I think my iron play is not all that bad. I'm not hitting greens, but my misses are near misses, which leads to easier scrambling.

 

I really can't wait for warmer weather!!

Yesterday I played for the first time in nearly 5 years and shot a 96 (par 66).  I felt good about the day and had a couple of really good shots.  On one hole, my 2nd shot on a par 4 from 200 yards (poor driver, indeed) landed about 20 feet from the hole.  Probably my best shot ever. :)

 

I learned that I simply need more consistency in my swing. I also need to work on driving distance and putting.
