My "Home Course" season ended 11/12/2023. I was a bit disappointed in the -7 total, but the number was in line with previous seasons. Unless I manage to eagle a hole during the off season, my "Away" results are also final. Now the process of looking forward to the 2024 season begins.

“Away Challenge” completed! Now I need to concentrate on improving my miserable results at my “Home” course. I am not a member or season pass holder so I just don’t play there enough and/or I am not c

Got in my first round of the year and I carded 3 tweeters... Par 4 #6, par 4 #9, and par 5 #11.

I’ve had a good start to the year. 3 rounds under par and an eagle in less than a week. I really hope this sticks around.

I did not meet the goal this year. I missed out on 8, 10, 14 (!), and 18.

I didn't play much June through August, seeing as how we were moving Golf Evolution. And when I did, I was mostly "practicing" on the golf course. So, I'm not disappointed.

Eagles were down this year as well, of course.

I only birdied 8 of the holes on "My Home Course". By way of comparison, last year I was able to check off 14 of them, not quite twice as many. 


Having said that, I did play a lot of other courses this year. I tried out at least 7 or 8 courses which I've never played before this year. I only played 3 full rounds on my "Home Course" this year. I did, of course, play 12 or 13 Nine-Hole-Rounds in the weekly golf league at my home course. So that added a few birdies. 

My final round at my home course I actually made 2 birdies. But they were both on holes that I already had. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Got out on Friday and played Whispering Woods, including birdieing the 18th, so technically I can cross that one off. Just 8, 10, and 14 of all holes.

I just realized I kept referring to 14, but I birdied 14 many times this year. 13 is the hole I haven't birdied (plus 8 and 10).

The spreadsheet is right, though. And has been.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
