Probably 60-70 on the front 9. At #1, took two swipes at the ball and missed completely with my beat-up, rented persimmon. Then got serious and brushed the top of the ball, which rolled 30-50' down the fairway. A 3 on the scorecard as I left the tee box. Putting was equally bad, 3-7 putts to get the ball into the hole.

I don't know what it is about the first hole, but at the course I play at it's a par 4 and I consistently hit 10s. It's by far my least favorite.

+29, twice.

Once early last year -- my first 9 holes on a real (par 36) course after a few lessons and some range time.

+29 my first time out this year -- 58 on a par 29.

Fortunately, I'm down in the 40's on that par 29.

68 through 9 holes in absolute pouring rain. We had all paid up front and travelled a fair way had a 3 course meal waiting. It eventually stopped on hole 10 and ended up with 118 my worst score ever. I haven't been any worse than 109 which I shot a little while ago lost 5 balls in that score as well.

my first 9-hole, played alone, 89 on a par 36.

kept on topping and shanking every single shot, whereas at the driving range I almost never shanked!

this happened to me every time I went on the course, for at least the 10 first rounds, drove me crazy, but I don't like quitting.

    • It’s simple. Hook it onto the tee box of the adjacent hole. Get a GIR with your approach. Birdie hole. #5 Hook it to the adjacent fairway Hit green with next shot. Birdie hole. I call it the Bill Method.
    • I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆
