We didn't really have try-outs for my team this year because our 1, 2, 4, and 5 were all out of town. We did have me, the 3, and our 6 and 7. I shot 71 and 6 shot 95 and 7 shot 106.

Nice play! Solid.

try to hit the practice green tomorrow before the tryouts for a bit, or practice on your home carpet, seems like you need a bit of work to stop those three putts.

Well, my tryouts are done... but we played fourth out of 20 at a mini-tour event and beat the #1 team in our district by 15. Flat out killed them.

And what's crazy is that I'm 8th on my team with an average of 81.

I can't believe this. I'm playing my worst golf of the summer and at the worst time. Shot a 45 today. I'm too pissed to go through stroke by stroke but lets say that I didn't par until the last hole. Pathetic.

At least I didn't get a call from the coach. He isn't posting the list, he's going to call the people that didn't make it and inform them personally. The silver lining on the cloud.

The best thing about my school golf team is that its based out of my Home club, so i might even be top or 2nd now. Its pretty exciting to know you could possibly be the best there.

That's extremely exciting Dent!

I am hoping to put myself in the 3rd-5th slot. I have improved a lot since last year but we have a couple of guys who are consistently mid to high 70s that are very hard for me to touch.

My golf tryouts were at the very beginning of the month.
We had 3 days of tryouts. I shot a 5 over 32 (par 3 course), a 7 over 42 and a 10 over 45(bad day). We just had 4 seniors graduate this past year who were all in the top 6 so this season's going to be a little weak. I'm #4 on the team with my friend, a junior as well as me at number 1. He usually shoots even. 2 and 3 are both seniors and they shoot around 2-3 over and around 5ish over respectively. The rest of our team is considerably worse. The next best scores at tryouts were in the uppermid(46)-high 40's. I think if I can pull my putting together and refine my chipping, I can be shooting an easy 5 over anywhere. Btw, my handicap is just an estimate.. I usually shoot in the low 40's for 9 and at worse mid 40's.

My golf tryouts would be on the 28th-30th, I needed to get my physical in by the 10th, but my mom never called the doctor to get an appointment for the physical, so I guess I'm trying out next year. It sucks because I have a chance to get on varsity as a freshman. I need to shoot an 85 to beat out the last man on varsity and I'm playing the best golf of my life. I shot an 80 the other day with a 2 over 38 on the back. But, for the rest of the summer I'm trying to break 80 and make myself much better so I can be on varsity next year.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
