Well i didnt get out yesterday
was calling for rain all day, so we cancelled our time abd sure as sh*t it was sunny and no wind AND WARM
so i settled for hitting 2 buckets of balls instead (which paid off today....sorta)

Temp:
19ºC, partly cloudy, slight 2km/hr wind
Tee'd off at 7:02 am

The Round: Holiday Park Back Tees - 70.1 / 116 Par 71

Hole 1 - PAR - smoked drive, just barely in the right rough. Laid up to 55 yds in, pitched just past hole and 2 putt par.

Hole 2 - BOGEY - Hit it fat and short, shipped on and 2 putt bogey

Hole 3 - Birdie - text book drive, PGA style approach to 4 paces (landed at the hole and released) one putt birdie (this hole is always tough for me, so to bird is huge for me)

Hole 4 - Par - pounded driver over the trees, just barely in the right rough, left about 88 to the hole, put it close to 4 paces and 2 putt par...grrrr....

Hole 5 - DOUBLE - this hole has been giving me the fits all week. Didnt bring enough club, in the water again. Chipped on a nd 2 putt for a double.

Hole 6 - PAR- Nutted drive up the guts, hooked/pulled approach 5i to 60 yds, put it to 1.5 paces and missed birdie for par...man oh man...that should have been mine!

Hole 7 - BOGEY - Nutted 3w, not sure what happened next....I was 118 into a slight breeze, so i hit GW. Hit it pure and flew the green into the trees!!! Chipped out to 4 paces and leaky slider downhill and bogey.

Hole 8 - BOGEY - just off the green in the short stuff about 20 paces to the pin. Hit a bump and run PW to 4 paces and 2 putt bogey.

Hole 9 - BOGEY - nice high cut into the cente of the fwy. Long hole, pin high but in the THICK THICK THICK rough. I was just happy to get it out/.......2 putt Bogey.

Front Nine Score - 40 (Par 35)




Back Nine

Hole 10 - DOUBLE - nutted driver, then proceeded to hit 3 fat shots in a row....long story short, double friggen bogey on a very makeable par 5.......damn...

Hole 11 - PAR - nice high cut again into the right fwy, put my approach from 152 yds, 9i to 1.5 feet. Should have just picked it up and taken the birdie, but missed and par'd.........eff me.

Hole 12 - PAR - perfect 3w up the centre, 126 yds to the pin, nice GW just past the hole to 4 paces. 2 putt par, actually lipped out birdie

Hole 13 - BIRDIE - literally almost holes it, it landed 3" from the hole and released to 1 foot. I made this one!

Hole 14 - PAR - Just barely in the right rough w the 3w. Hit approach a little short (kinda chunky) up and down chip to save par.

Hole 15 - PAR - Perfect high cut in to the fwy (right side) laid up w 8i to 90 yards, hit approach a tad long to about 4 paces and 2 putt par.

Hole 16 - PAR - this hole kicks th sh*t out of me every time i play it. 216 yd par 3. I seriuosly was laying up on this hole, but i pured a 5i to the back...yes back of the green w a friggen 5i. 2 putt par. THANK GOD!!!!

Hole 17 - PAR - Drivable par 4...well sorta, 325yds, but if thw wind is good, you can get there. I laid up w a perfect 3w in the fwy, just a tad short again, up and down chip for par.

Hole 18 - PAR - Nutted drive, but soggy fwy so no roll. Hit 6i just on the front fringe and up and down chip to save par again.

Back Nine Score - 37 (par 36)
Total 18 - 77 (par 71)





Stats for 18

Fwy's Hit - 10 / 13 = 77% VERY HAPPY W THIS ...did i mention i have a new driver coming!!hahahah!
Putts - 30 = 1.66% also happy w this
Putt Distance = 4 paces (missed a lot of putts from this distance - this will be a ket ayrea to focus on)
GIR - 9 / 18 = 50%, improved but could be better
Putts per GIR - 1.88%
Scrambling - 3 / 9 = 33%, need to get this over 50%
Penalties - 1 H20 hazard....again

Highlights of the round - almost holing out on 13, i hit 4 approach shots 1.5 paces from the hole on 4 GIR's....but only made 1 birdie of those


Need to work on my attack angle when its wet, i get steep and it causes some fat shots
also need to watch my hip sway, keep the legs quiet
and putts from 4 paces need some work

Get rid of the two doubles and the penalty stroke and im right at 73...i played like i should have shot 73 too
ah well.....
tomorrow's tee time is 6:35am

until then.....

PS - still no baby....cervix is closed, maybe a "c hair" (!!hahahha!! sorry, had too!!! hahaha) open

enis out

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
