Yeah, the course its self is basically in the middle of 2 mountains and it is about 45 minutes from the city in the middle of the desert..  Golf year round at least right?

This round was still sitting in my GG memory from Phoenix.  This is my first round from Thursday morning fourball with @Big C vs. @saevel25 and @jamo.  (There was a lot that happened since then so who knows if I even got it all right. ;))

This round is over a month old but hole #3's hole-in-one will probably be the highlight of my fledgling golf career.   I got out of work 4 hours early to play but got sidelined for awhile when some lady decided to t-bone me halfway home.  I got snapped sideways pretty good and the left side of my face felt weird.  My neck and shoulders were so so and the next day were not good.  Oh well, might as well do what I set out to do.  This was also my best round ever (tied later on).  Nothing great but I did break a goal I set out for this year.  I've done it 7 times so far..... yahoo!  I see I was slicing them.  A foursome let me play through but I told them I would skip hole #6 and finish it up later.  Boy did it ever end up later!  I played a 215 yard drive in total darkness, skulled a 9 iron on a downhill lie way past the back greenside bunker.  I lobbed one back 43 yards and heard a plop on the green.  I missed a long uphill putt and the proceeding little down hill putt to get out of there with a double.  I was using the lights from the car dealership across the road to guide me!

Tomorrow I will be playing a beautiful course that will be eating me up.  If it's not too bad, I put it up.  :-)

Well, it was bad but I'll post it anyway.  The overhead of this course does not show all the nooks and crannies that a ball finds its way into.  Not a good place for a hacker as you can tell.  My driver felt like it was running in reverse.  I finally had a good showing on the Par 3's.  That was about the only thing I can be happy about.

I've been playing not very much, but more importantly I've not been practicing much lately, so I've hit a lot of sloppier shots than I did at the start of the winter.

No worries though, as fall is here and I can get back to practicing a lot.

Got 9 in at Whispering Woods today with Natalie (she shot 49) and Dave. Hole by hole, quickly…

  1. Decent drive, a bit short (high off the clubface), and a solid shot to about 15 feet.
  2. Good 8I to just over the flag.
  3. Decent tee shot to the left-center. Hybrid didn't draw, little push. Good third.
  4. Got away with the tee shot (bit of a pop-up), but then caught the PW a little thin.
  5. Good tee shot with 3W. Good second.
  6. Solid 3I to the green. Was into the wind.
  7. Pulled driver a bit, and chipped out with a 6I. Good third from a sidehill lie.
  8. Good tee shot, safe second.
  9. Good tee shot. Good second.

Driving and ball-striking was back a bit. I didn't care about putting today or maybe I'd have made one more putt.

That's the round. I played nine holes today as a single and ran into four foursomes on the tenth tee, so I called it a day. That post details how I was invited to play through five times in those nine holes, all without asking or even looking like I was in a hurry.

Anyway… http://www.gamegolf.com/player/iacas/round/657720

1. Meh drive, meh second. I don't warm up, though, so…

2. Good shot. Start line a little too straight. Drew to left edge.

3. Good tee shot. First solid tee shot in a while. Good second, just can't get used to flying it onto the green (very, very soft course right now). Birdie.

4. Faded a bit more than I wanted on the wind, second shot a little short from a weird cuppy lie.

5. Got a little cart path action. Wind was not out of the west like I thought - out of the south.

6. Just started it too far right. Kicked down to just off green. Had wrong club for being barely off the green, too lazy to get the PW. Bogey.

7. Heeled it. Pushed the second a little. Third was 10 yards long of the flag.

8. Great drive today, given that it was into the wind. Second a bit short (wind).

9. Really great drive uphill into wind. Ball mark was a yard ahead of the ball. Second shot again short. Windier than I thought, I guess.

It was 72° when I started and finished, though, so WOOHOO! :banana::dance::beer: 

If you can "shoot the temperature" (Fahrenheit) around here you're usually doing pretty well. :-)

You aren't really "around here" though, either, are you? :-D

Hadn't played in a while and was a little rusty. Never really felt like I was in control of my start lines and my putting sucked.

Best round I've recorded on Game Golf to date. :)  My birdies on 9 and 17 were the highlights because they were both those rare "textbook" type holes.  3 (for me) perfect shots where the ball traveled exactly as I envisioned it.  Hope to be able to build on this and have more rounds like this in the near future, rather than have it turn out to be an anomaly. :beer:

Very windy day at Torrey, especially on the front nine. Seems like I had to add a club to two clubs on most iron shots. Made some nice up and downs though.

@mvmac, Great round.  With the course rating of Torrey South that was pretty much an even par round and you were in heavy wind.  I'm not sure when you started but certainly the wind was a lot heavier than the 13mph that GameGolf reported.  Early this morning the news was reporting wind of about 20 mph and gusts up to 45 mph near the ocean.  And, you were certainly near the ocean.

    • 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. 
    • 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."
    • 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.
