I just read two remarkable notes in a golf newsletter. I have no idea about the courses, nor any other details, only the reported scores.

"Congrats to Mike Goodes who made national news by shooting a 57!, that's
right..a 57 at Greenboro C.C."

and

"The lowest round ever shot was a 55 by Homero Blancas in a college
event."

I actually met Homero Blancas and know he was a fine player who played on the PGA and Senior PGA tours. I just Googled him and discovered the 55 was on a course that was only 5,000 yards long, so the official record does not recognize his 55. A course must be 6,500 yards long to be counted as a record (according to Google.)

Three days ago I shot a personal best 3 under 69… then the very next day I shot a 7 over 79 on the same damn course.

My 69 was simply a solid round with pars and only three birdies. My 79 was more exceptional in terms of racking up five birdies and one eagle… but I made a bunch of bogies though.

Shot a F()@&ing; 80. Yes EIGHTY DAMMIT!!! WTF!!!!!!!!

The last shot was a tap in birdie..... DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not that I'm bitter about it.

2nd best was 81, but that was in Aruba playing the same 9 from 2 tees, so it doesn't count.

Best ever 82. Put up a nice 83 the other day with disappointing bogey bogey finish on two par 5's that I've birdied pretty regularly in the past...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By iacas · Posted

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
