Before today, my previous low score was 81.

I am playing a weekly round with my father and brother. JUust another day playing. On the range, feels the same. Hit a good shot, hit a bad one, etc. We go to the course and i birdie the first hole. Long story short, i played the round of my life. Never in ym three year golf career has my game all coem together at once. One day, my driver is off. the next its my putting. Im sure many casual golfers can relate to this feeling. Anyway, my goal this year was to break 80. I smashed that record by shooting a 1 over par 73 today. Details coming tomorrow on what i shoot in a tournment.

I guess its one of those days.

I shot +5 today (9 Holes).

I played 3 more (1,2,3) after that. Par, Par, Bogey. That 3rd hole, a par 3. Ive never once in all my time playing there seen anyone make the green in one. 237 up hill. Traps front and right trees left. Its damn near impossible i tell you!

Great day.

Well done. Best of luck beating that new personal best.

To me, that is what makes golf great. You can play 200 times and there is always something that you can strive for. Win a skin, break 100, 90, 80, etc, beat your personal best, beat your opponent, make a birdie or two, make an eagle, you could be 8 over on the front, but you can still be par or better on the back. There are so many reasons to make the game fun when you tee off. No matter what your skill level, there is something you can do to make it fun/challenging/exciting.

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

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
