Wet. Stormed almost all day yesterday. It was all carry out there for the most part (ball mark from the tee shot on 16 was actually 3' in front of the ball). Turf conditions played a factor and I hit more fat shots than I typically do.

Driving totally sucked. Hit a couple of good shots, but I hit a bunch of really off-line shots. Made up for a lot of it with my iron play and still hit 6 GIR with 2 coming from an adjacent fairway. It very nearly could have even been as high as 8 GIR: I hit a massive push-slice near the 13th green from 15 that I abandoned and holed out in 4 strokes after I re-teed, and clipped the top of the tree I hate the most on the course on the approach on 16.

I'm adjusting (abeit slowly) to the fact that my new blades are about half a club shorter than my old clubs, but I feel like I control them much better distance-wise (haven't hit any trampoline shots with them - can't) and line-wise they seem better. Most important of all is the overwhelming sense of satisfaction that I get when I hit a good shot, knowing that I did that :-)

Short game was pretty decent save for a couple of really bad shots. I didn't hit any really good shots to make up for it, though. Starting to get back my feel for not being too wristy on pitch shots which is helping contact tremendously. Didn't make anything longer than a 4-footer today which didn't help matters, but otherwise I think I ok putting.

70 from the white tees at WW (because the old guy I played with wanted to play from there, and I wanted to shoot a lower number, but didn't): http://www.gamegolf.com/player/iacas/round/2178918. I wasn't sure what lines or clubs to hit from some of the tees.

Oh well.

Great off the tee, distance wedge were a struggle, short pitch shots were pretty good, putting was OK.

71.  Hit a ton of greens and didn't make any putts.  Not at the home course so I struggled a bit on the greens getting the line and pace.  Made some good strokes or it at least felt that way.  Lots of low-stress pars.

Happy how i'm hitting it right now.  If I fix the putter I'll be dangerous.  Playing in a tournament out there on Monday so I'm hoping the practice round will help.

Fairways and Greens.

Very windy today, but the course was in great shape. Somewhere in the middle of the round I completely lost my swing. I'm pretty sure I was ready to call it by the time I got to 16. Frustrating, considering I hit some great shots today. Drove the ball better today than I have in a long time so that's a positive.

This was a single round of 18...I shot a 91 on a par-73 course.  I was +1 overall on the par-5's (3 pars and a bogie), which is crazy good for me.

My struggles with the driver continue.  Only 4 truly solid (230+) drives all day...with 7 drives that were either weak slices or poor contact...and 4 truly awful drives (topped 100 yards, or pulled into a water hazard, etc).  But, it was still one of my better rounds, scoring-wise, in a long time, mostly because my putting and short game were both significantly better than usual.

Played a round with @jamo. I played ok - pretty much as well as I have been all year: kind of a mix of good and bad.

Greens were firmer than I am used to and they were a little shaggy so we had some odd rolls every now and then. Good weather, good company, and a good day of golf.

For whatever reason GAME hasn't been working for me for about two years but finally got it to start working again, here's my round from today.

Played a round with @jamo, @boogielicious, and @nevets88. Great course, great company, great time. Weather was good and the course was in excellent shape.

Tied my all-time low score of 82 and did it on a course I've never played before. I don't know where this round came from, but I'll take it. I definitely hit some great shots today, but more importantly, I hit some great misses that were very playable (got lucky a few times, too, which helped).

Everything just kind of clicked today.

Sunday's round. Almost a bogey free round, birdied all the par 5's. Hit the driver well.

Yesterday's round. First time playing Shadow Creek in Vegas. Hit it 16 greens with a lot of great opportunities and only made one birdie 😭

The bad:

39 putts and a few more from just barely off the green. Still, I was a lot more aggressive on my lag putts which resulted in some tap-ins. I also made some longer 2nd putts when I didn't get close. Unfortunately, only a single 1-putt to offset the 4 3-putts I had.

The good:

Starting lines with my partial 9i and wedges were really on and that's something I've struggled with all year. I could have very easily had 8 or 9 GIR today. My misses were just off the green, a couple by only inches. I really hope I can maintain this throughout the season.

LSW logic:

I stayed aggressive by using driver on all but one par 4. I also used the 5w on most of my 2nd shots on the par 5's instead of playing it safe. This resulted in wedges for approach shots.

Got off to a slow start. Though I had two putts inside 15 FT for par on the first to holes. Over all happy with my scrambling and putting.

After this mornings 3 1/2 hours of practice.   I decided after resting to go out again.  Hit balls on the range for 30 minutes.  Then played 18 holes from the White Tees, to see the impact of the work I have been doing this week.  Please to write I shot my age!!  A round of 70 for 2 under par!!   And what made it even more satisfying was that I hit 16 GIR, the greens were aerated on Wednesday so they were ROUGH.  But I was able to get up and down twice!! And made a couple birdie putts.

http://www.gamegolf.com/player/JuanTheGolfer/round/2224721

I had to adjust the location of the drive and second shot on hole #14 since they had a temporary green...   which I hit in 2.  Not sure what to do when there are temporary greens.  Guess I need to learn a little more about Game Golf.

What a round today!! Personal best score, most pars ever (9), a birdie, drove the ball well, putted pretty well (did miss a few short ones..). Golf is a funny game...Couldn't touch the ball the last few weeks, and have been shanking like crazy..but kept working and was rewarded with todays round. 

SG Tee: -2.23

SG Approach: -7.10

SH Short Game: -4.63 (poor bunker play)

SG Putting: -1.22

    • 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.
