+3(39) out
+13(48) in

87, par 71. Really? Felt great thru 11 holes, as I was still +3... then a bad tee shot on 12 (short, 90º right par 4) and a tree branch knocking down my 2nd shot started a string of weird holes. Par on the next par 3, and playing safe on the next short Par 5 killed me... Drove left of the fairway, layed up with a PW to about 105yds in the middle of the fairway. Hit a crisp sandwedge to the green... well uh, just happened to be a perfectly struck shot -- that went 110yds. Took a big bounce about 20yds behind the green. Bogey. And took an 8 on the next... with a 6 on the next par 3. Awful.


Ever have that kind of up and down round? The front 9 was great, 2 birdies (missed a 2ft birdie!) and a few pars. Just a double bogey that shouldn't have happened.

We've all had them. Sergio had quite an adventure in Louisiana on Thursday. Congratlations on breaking 90. An 87 sure feels a lot better than an 89 for the first time.

Been there, done that, hurdl3r!

The best are when you go 39-50 -- the coveted 80s round without a nine in the 40s!

Dude, I've gone 38-53, so I know what's that's like. You just lose your swing, go on tilt and all of a sudden you're done. For me, it's the mental game. I know I'm good enough to put up scores, but as soon as I see that 38 on the front, I get freaked out and it takes a lot of concentration and the right environment for me to relax enough to have a decent back nine.

BTW, I hate when you're at that distance where you need a solid SW to the green. Hit it a little thin and you're screwed. A little fat and you're screwed. For whatever reason, it's kind of a tough shot. And the worst part is, the shot always comes after a great drive, so you ruin a perfect shot.

I saw a guy at a high school meet go 31 then 45 so I'm sure other people have felt your pain.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.
