Season is almost over for leagues, how did you do?
We have three more weeks and a fun day to play.
We are in first place right now with a 10 point lead. Last week we played the second place team and got all 6 points then thunder storms came in and cancelled our league because the last two teams did not finish the round.

Finished in the middle of the pack this year. We've got another week to go, but I don't see our position shifting much.

Last year we were in first place going into the final week. We were paired against the team with the best golfer in our league (he's about a 6 handicap for 18 holes). Anyways, riding my handicap I was able to split that round against him even on the points. However, my partner blew up and out of a possible 9 points he could have scored, he only managed to score 1/2 a point. It was his worst performance all year. I think the pressure got to him.

My partner and I finished 6th out of 16 teams in my company league. We made a strong charge in the second half of the season, going 6-1 over the last 7 matches to climb all the way to 4th going into the 18-hole finale last week. We both had a pretty bad day, and our opponents shot the lights out (nets of 67 and 64!!!). So we got stomped. They went from 3rd to win the league, and we dropped from 4th to 6th.

It was my first time playing any kind of organized competitive golf, and I had a blast - can't wait until next year.

Our season doesn't end until December . I did much better last year (8th) but I also played in every event, this year I've missed too many to help my cause.

My traveling league has 2 weeks left, 1 regular week then our outing. We have various games throughout the year, i didnt win anything. 3rd in club champ (flighted, gross score) 4th in our points champ, (non flighted, net score) 3rd in our match play, again flighed with handicaps. Halfway I was leading money winner, not a big money league though. I will be close to the top at the end.

We also have a beat your handicap throughout the year which I am ahead by 1 so I cant do worse than a T1. This is also flighted A and B flights. We have two two man best ball tourneys over two rounds that i didnt get to compete in both only teh first. We took 4th I think.

Choked on the last night of the regular season. My wife's uncle chips in for par on the last. If it had not hit the flag it would have been 30 feet past the hole on the lower tier outside my second. I was on in two and had a 1 shot net lead. All I had to do was two putt to win and guarantee a spot in the last group with a chance to win it again. I blew the first one past and missed the comeback for par. I was so pissed when I thought a tie did nothing for me that I slapped at it and missed. Turns out that a tie would have still put us in the last group one point back.

On position night I shot my worst round in three years since I really didn't feel like we had a chance to win as we were not playing head-to-head with the first place team. My wife shot a good enough round that she would have beaten both the first and second place ladies by enough that I could have lost by 3 NET and still won the match and the title. Turns out the first place team played well enough to take all 6 points and win outright so my terrible round had no bering on the outcome.

I can honestly say that if we had gone into the last night tied for first we would have won easily. I thrive playing against this guy. He is a notorious stroke shaver and he knows he can't get away with it when I'm there. I can tell you how many shots you had on the hole and recap them for you if need be. The team that won it has never taken a point from us in head to head matches. They beat us this year with some questionable math when we were not there.

The frustrating thing is I had my best scoring year by far. My average was 1.5 strokes lower than my previous season best. This just drives me to comeback and win it next year.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices.

      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

      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.
