What'd You Shoot Today? - Page 539

Had a very interesting round the other day.  I was playing the Talking Stick South in Scottsdale.  Got out to a decent start and shot a 38 on the front (birdie, double, bogey) and then went to the back.  Something happened on the drive over from the front to the back because things immediately went haywire.  My driver just completely fell off and came out with a nasty snap hook.  Didn't get much better from there.  Ended up shoot a 56 (had a quad bogey and several other disasters).  I had never had a round just explode like that.  

 

I have attributed this blow up to playing too much.  This was my 7 round in 6 days and I just hit a wall.  This was one of the wilder experiences on a course for me.  It is just crazy how your body can stop operating properly :)

 

Curious if anyone else has had a round where you play to handicap and then drop nearly 20 strokes on the back.  This is why we play the game.  

A disappointing, mistake laden 42 last night. 6 pars and 3 doubles.

2 ho-hum rounds of golf:  72.5cr 137slope

 

WED:76

THUR: 78

 

I played well both days and had good rounds going...............but failed epically down the final home stretch.  

I thought that driving into less trouble would improve my game... Strangely, I finally acquire a new 460cc driver instead of the older smaller types and then my irons suffer. I was hitting them fine 5 weeks ago, but now... week after week I can't hit one to save my life... Short game is as always.

I scored a 109.

I hit 7/13 fairways, but a miserable 2 GIRs. Mostly 2 putts. Most of my good shots were off of the tee, with mediocre shots otherwise. Not completely terrible, but it could have been better. I bested my best drive from last week, so clearly driving is no longer something I need to work on.

Bloody irons...... hehehe

Yahoo! Handicap Rating is

My short game right now is for s**t. I had 5 doubles and a triple yesterday, all attributable to horrendous chip shots or putts. I have no idea why the wheels came off so badly. To the short game range.....

Don't ask

77

9 holes last night. 3rd straight sub-40 nine (38 front, 37 back, 38 back). Longest drive ever on 18. Solid up and down from the back rough for birdie. Almost choked!

Shot 80. 46 deg's cold, raining, hard wind. Had to ford couple small rivers due to rain. There was only one other looney on the course with me. Conditions were so soft that a 7 iron knuckleball from rough sank half way in to the green on 16th.

 

My best on that course is 79 so was quite amazed of the result.

First round at the par-3 course after laying off for a month due to De Quervain's syndrome.  Lots of easy short irons in the ~110 yard range.  Shot -3.  Had to change putting grips mid-round due to pain.  Trying to get ready for a tourney on Friday.

88 at Fossil Trace in Denver, CO on Saturday from Blues.

 

My most consistent round ever.

shot a 73 today. par 70 99/62.3... not exactly a hard course, but the greens stopped me from making a ton of Birdies... made a triple on 16 for no reason.

played a course I haven't played in a few months yesterday and man that course has gone down hill. the greens were completely trashed, completely covered in big deep pitch marks... the trash cans at every tee box were overflowing with beer cans and stunk... I doubt the trash had been picked up all week... there was also trash blowing around on the course... I would have been really pissed if I had not gotten a deal on golf now. I think I shot an 88... again my driving is what really let me down...I really need to spend some time on the range and get the big dog in the fairway.

Shot a 49 on my quick nine. Not bad for me, but great considering the wind beat me up so bad. I was hitting greens, but somehow finding the farthest spot from the pin on every green. 18 putts total killed me.

Played in a shamble yesterday at a charity outing with a couple of big bangers. Fun to be hitting my second shots from spots that I can only dream about. Fool's gold .
