Howdy, been golfing more than just on occasion for about 7 years. Started out near 110, got that down to a consistent 100 after about 2 seasons (our seasons are fairly short... May-Sept), then got that down to 90-95 for the next several seasons. Last season and this season consistently shooting 85-90. I feel like my ability level has improved in the past season so I hope to shoot in the low 80's to high 70's soon. If this doesn't happen this year, it surely will next. I need to work on my temper more than anything at this point... when I hit a bad shot or miss a bunch of short putts my head starts spinning and it can take a couple holes to calm down. I realize this so once I get that under control I'm sure my score will follow.

Even par through 9 is my best.  I don't even want to think about what was my worst.

New to the board, live in Waukesha. Always looking for someone to head out with, as I don't have many friends/family who golf a lot.

And I guess I'll change it up a bit. . . ..

    • Is anyone going to be there?  I won a couple tickets for Saturday.  Likely spend a half day walking and watching. 
    • Day 298 - 2025-07-25 Got some work in after a lesson at Whispering Woods. I hit one SPICY shot during the lesson, too, ha ha.
    • They need to mark it or declare it as such. Even just a thing on the back of the scorecard would do.
    • There are utilities buried along there. I did talk to the one of the course owners today and he said it was OB. When I mentioned "the committee" (USGA and R&A terminology) it didn't seem to register with him.
    • Have played 3 serts of 18 holes since Monday and last night added 6 holes but had to quit because it got dark on us.    My last time I shot a 56 on the front nine with 16 puts. I shot a 57 with 16 puts on the back 9.  I am ordering a 60* Pure Spin Wedge this Tuesday that I found on Ebay.  I am having trouble controlling my drives, but a lot of it is being nervous and still just starting to relax a little.  I am planning on playing Men's Senior this coming Tuesday.  It is definitely an adventure but so far it has been worth it.  My back pain (lower) is gone, and my leg cramps are almosrt gone.  My putting is improving.  Okay, Golfers: As of this morning, starting on January 1, 2025: Steps = 1,035,587 ; MIles = 472.14 ; Stairs = 1, 664 Not bad for a 78 year old golfer that is 5'10"and 150 pounds.  I will quit bragging for now and say a big "Thank You" for all your encouragement.  Will play a little more over the next few weeks and see if I can lower the score.  I even have a book: "Lowest Score Wins" by Erik J. Barzeski & David Wedzik; I think I have seen some strategies somewhere inside. 😄   Thanks,  Retired Old Man, Terry
