Went out for the 2nd time in the past 2 months today and shot 45, 41, and 40. The 45 and 41 were shot in the morning at Briarwood's East course, then I went back after work to the West course and played the back 9 at 4 over for 40 (they have a play all day special - $20 w/cart and you can go to either course at any time during the day). I was even through 5 which was cool. For all of the crazy wind we had in south central PA today I was really excited to shoot the 41 and 40, my lowest 9 hole rounds ever.

Round highlights:
Great chipping and putting (chipped one in for par)
Couple of awesome 3i shots
Solid driving but the wind dropped my avg. drive by 30 yards...ouch
Only one true blow up hole - 7 on a 4
Lots of pars...unfortunately, no birdies

Just wanted to share!

Nice job. Once you get that 39 on the front you'll really feel like you have momentum going into the back.

Yeah, I was rolling on my last 9 at +1 thru 6 but I did not play the wind well at all on the 17th 170yd par 3 leading to my double. I had just enough time to go back and re-play the 3 holes that were over par and went +2 instead of +4 on them so that made me feel good.

Yes it does! Makes me want to get back out tomorrow when it is suppose to be in the 60s and not so darn windy.

    • Day 2: August 12.  I did 25 balls of the ruler drill from LSW for putting.  24 of the 25 stayed on the ruler through 36" but some were smoother than others.  I suspect if the ruler (and goal) had been 48" far fewer would have stayed on.  I'm trying to go by sound, and not look, since when I attempt short putts, I don't want to look (although now I wonder if that's conventional wisdom that turns out to be wrong). 
    • Day 17: did mirror work while watching TV. Working on wrist feels. 
    • Day 315 - 2025-08-12 Got a little work in before Juniors showed up for one of their Summer Sessions.
    • I always knew it as high but never that distance was 90-95% of rating! That has always played to my advantage. I never have but I could totally vanity cap myself by playing **super** long courses that are otherwise super easy. There was one course like that in LA that I used to play that helped my cap like that. The back tees were close to 7k yards, but otherwise the course was incredibly easy. Wide open, misses almost always had a play at the green from the adjacent hole, flat greens, not challenging green complexes, etc. But it got a high rating because it was so long. So I could swing hard, spray and pray, and score well (relative to my handicap).
    • Do need a special ferrul. Thanx 😉
