so most of the courses in the area are aerating their greens...
some courses offer discounts...
do you mind aerated greens?
do you try to go somewhere else if its aerated?
do you count a round against your hcp if its aerated?

its impossible to read any break with a billion holes in the ground...
previous years when id see the practice green aerated... i wouldnt even score the round... just play and count it as a practice round... but this season for some reason... it really hasnt affected my score as much... i even have plenty of >6ft one putts... either im getting better or im getting luckier

I haven't made any long putts (including my two 15 footers for eagle) in a while now. I count the rounds, but I do try avoid the course right after they aerated and go somehwere where they did it two weeks ago. We have one course that isn't going to do it, so I have hit them up a few times.

It does suck putting on slow greens that don't break the way they should, but the greens will be great in a couple more weeks.

We're fortunate to have enough choices that we can play around the aeration schedules......we just make it a point to ask when considering a tee time, and good courses will tell you even if you don't ask. What does annoy the hell out of me is if we forget to ask and then show up to find the greens aerated and no one bothered to say anything when the tee time was booked.

Regardless, I post all my scores.

I played on aerated greens over the weekend. It sucks and i dont prefer it. The only thing you can really do is hit your putts or chips at the hole and hope.

Those are my thoughts also. You just have to deal with it and know that in a few weeks they will be back to normal.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

    • I definitely have a better outlook on BD after watching his YouTube channel and his appearances on Grant Horvath’s channel. He’s an odd character but he loves the game and is considerably more entertaining than Scheffler and many other PGAT players. I do however continue to see Koepka as a total douche.    I’m pulling for Rory but won’t be disappointed if BD wins. It’s just a damn shame he’s with LIV. 
    • Day 44. (15 Jun 24) - took yesterday off (was on the road all day, home after midnight kind of thing). Today was back to it - played local course as a solo.  Played one of my fave formats of rotating thru the tee boxes - adds dimension to the approach game.  Best part of the day was the wedge play with a first ever hole out eagle on the par 5 13th hole.  Drive was tight to the left needing a punchy iron to get back to the center of fairway.  Left about 80yds to the flag, figured an easy GW would leave me close for a birdie putt.  Caught it solid and watched it one hop into the hole….over all a good day of working on the game. 
    • As @iacas wrote “This applies to golf, too. Relentlessly chip away at whatever you’re seeking to change. It’ll add up over time in a big way.”  Have to say my work on key points is seeing consistent results -  slowly chipping away at a better approach game, leading to more GIR and nGIR which makes for easier pars and more up and downs.  
    • day 93. Chipping and practice getting a little more comfortable with longer irons 
    • 89.    Came less than a centimeter short of my first eagle. Had an ugly triple on the last too. But didn't lose a ball. Now in the last 3 rounds I have only lost 1 ball.
