Played… 16 holes (we skipped 10 and 11 to get ahead of a group). I knocked off 1, 3, and 4. Had a number of other good looks, made a lot of pars. Oddly our best ball score was -4 through 4… and then we got 14 pars after that.

Off to a slow start. Home course still not open. At the rate I am filling in the AWAY sheet, I should have it done by 2026. 😕

After a bit of a lean spell managed to birdie stroke hole one, long par five.

Ball striking best it’s been for a while short game exactly the opposite.

Had so many opportunities to post good scores last three or four games, failed miserably😀

Got my second birdie of the year. One for each 9 hole round I've played this year. I'm using Bent Tree Golf Course in Sunbury as my home course because that's where the Wednesday Night league I'm in this year is. Hole 17 is a 130 yard par-3 with a green the size of a flea's footprint. Last night there was almost no breeze to speak of and it played at about 126 yards. I hit a smooth P-wedge to about 15 inches. 

Even I couldn't miss that putt. Tap in Birdie.

Added 2 birdies from my last round, and I have birdied 9 holes so far. I feel like that's a very solid start at this point, given that I've played about 7 rounds so far.

It sounds like it yes. But as you know, they come fast early. Then you get those three holes remaining…

Birdied the short par 4 #16 at Quail Brook today. Drove it into the greenside bunker and got up and down. This is another hole I didn't birdie all year last year.

This is such a great challenge, those for creating and posting this.
I really enjoy these types of challenges. Though being a pretty high HC player I am aiming for par on every hole, once that is achieved I will note only birdies.

I played a round at the course I am trying to get par on every hole, on Thursday. On a par 5 I have yet to par, dog leg left with a cart path and tree's on the left at the bend and a sand trap right in the middle of the fairway at the bend where you're most likely to hit the ball. I managed to get great contact with the ball off the tee, knocked it well over the tree's/cart path and into the fairway leaving me with around 200 yards to the green on my second shot. 3w shot landed the second shot just outside the green about 80 yards to the pin. 3rd shot landed the ball about 10 feet from the pin on the green. Now putting for birdie, I miss the edge of the hole by about half an inch and the ball rolls past 2 feet. Now putting for par, I putt nice and soft and the ball lips out hahaha. Bogey :doh:

I knocked off 2 more holes today.  Shot 78 from blues (6670yds).  Had 4 birdies, 2 of them on holes I hadn't yet birdied this year.

Now only 3 more holes to go:  The 2 lowest Hcp holes and a Par-5 (can't believe I haven't taken this one down yet).

      It feels like Rory blew his load on the 18th at Augusta. Maybe everyone is underestimating how much that took out of him. Watching McGinley whaling in 'Roaddie' for not stopping by to talk to the press was bit of drag. The dude has given so many interviews and so much of himself over the years, he outghta be able to play with house money sometimes. Jeez, leave him the fak alone.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Some positives playing in league tonight.  1st) Making the backswing a more lateral shift, and feeling the left leg and torso resist the turn at the top of the swing is helping out a lot. I got to feel an uncomfortable amount of pause in the backswing to set up the downswing.  2) I need to do a bit of more arm stuff better. Still too much draw or pull draws for my liking.  3) Short game is getting sharp. Many tap-ins tonight. I am trying to make the shortest backswing possible for the shot. It really forces me to stay aggressive with the pivot.

      Day 43 (12 Jun 25) - Return of the net in the backyard as I set it back up in anticipation of some work with the R10 in coming days.  Used it to hit a few iron shots into the net with the 7i before wrapping up the session with the wedges.

      Shame to see Rory crash on the back nine. Nice to Spieth play well. Looking forward to seeing Brooks collapse…😂

      Day 255 - 2025-06-12 Played 18 holes. Started to over-do the crap out of my thing for holes 9-15 a bit, then refreshed it and finished out really well.
