Shot an 80 yesterday, 5 GIR/9 n-GIR, no penalty strokes.

I was hitting the ball a touch fat on full swings for the entire round, I would guess maybe 80% of the shots. Distance was shorter than typical, and driver especially with ball flight higher/shorter than normal, which makes me think I am hanging back or something.

Weird strokes gained numbers. Based on how I felt like I hit the ball, I would have expected to lose more on full swing. I actually thought my short game was pretty good today (obviously not). I knew I putted well but didn't think it was that good.

Strokes Gained vs a 5 HCP or a 10 HCP? I'm guessing.

 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Played Hyland Golf Club in Southern Pines yesterday.  Shot an 86 with 11/14 fairways and 7 greens.  I had 37 putts with 2 three putts.  Felt pretty good tee to green, just have to start scoring better!

Didn't play but...

...4 weeks and 3 days after having my left hip replaced I hit a small bucket of balls with a PW on the driving range and did a bit of chipping.

For the first time in a while I was able to get my weight transferred properly and get through to a balanced finish. Hit the ball really well after the first couple were out of the way.

Very happy. I'll be getting some points on the birdie challenge thread soon.

I played Quail Rige GC today in Sanford.  I played from the white tees and shot a 79 with 10 GIR and 8/14 fairways with 34 putts.  I am happy with the way my game is trending!  Just have to continue to work on my short game.

Best round ever today .. but as it was a practice round off the TIPS not counted ... 35 front 38 back for a tidy +1.. 73 ....still shell shocked as I played one of my worst round at another course comp yesterday for a +17 !!!..not a fan of a slow round and cold winds it seemed>>

was reluctant to hit a GC again after such poor form ..but glad I did ... just wanted to have a care free practice round ... but as the went it become my best .. and lucky for me we have our National Golf Open Quaf here so got to play my back nine with a Foreign Pro that was out for a practice .. amazing distance for such a small guy ... might go watch him go in the MONDAY NZ OPEN qualifier

First 18 in 2023 for this 70 year-old guy.  

43-43-86 

Two disappointing three putts but generally happy with the way I hit the ball. Had one OB but only made a double bogey on a very difficult hole.

Played Musgrove Mills Oak tees - 72.3/155. The course was damp and the practice green was recently aerated, and I was not prepared for how fast the greens were during my round. Course is a 2nd shot venue with little room if you miss the fairway, and most greens are guarded by waste bunkers, water or slopes.

Due to family issues practice has been limited to indoor chipping, where I’m pretty awesome, but it did not translate to the course. On course goal was to hit to fat part of every green.

First 6 holes, tee to green was perfect hitting 5 fairways and all 6 greens. Yet, I three-putted from 7’ above the hole on 1; 24’ pin high on 2; and 27’ above the hole on 5.

The par 3 7th is their signature hole fronted by the Enoree River with a large triangle shaped green with the base at the back of the green and the point up front. Anything right is usually in the River, left is facing a tough pitch, and over puts you about 20’ below the green and possibly under a tree. I hit it it over, and took 3 more to go with 3 putts for a quadruple bogey. +7 after 7! Double bogeyed 8 after a poor tee shot and another 3-putt. Played the par 5 ninth well and just missed 9’ putt for birdie. 45 on the front with 7 GIR and 6 FIR! Struggled with ball striking on approaches the back and did not hit a green. 45-51=96 with 11 fairways, 7 GIR and 38 putts. Really need to work on my iron play!

Played a small private tournament today that Standard Chartered sponsored of about 15 people.  Won the handicap event and would have been runner-up in the open event though that prize wasn't given.  Only four prizes given.  Open winner, Handicap winner, Handicap runner-up and closest to pin.

Fairly decent round I guess though could have been better.

Bogey x 2, Par x 2, Bogey, Par, Bogey x 3, Par, Double Bogey x 2, Par x 3, Bogey x 3

The prize I won for this was a nice Clicgear umbrella, though unfortunately no trophies.  The open winner got a dozen golf balls and the other two winners got 6 golf balls each (think TaylorMade RBZ Soft).

9 holes on Sunday as first game back after hip replacement.

Pretty horrible start losing 2 balls in 3 holes (both with irons) and took 3 out of a bunker on 1st, but settled a bit eventually and finished par, par, bogie, bogie. Putted and drove pretty well (4 of 6 FW and and 15 putts) but struggled to get a good iron contact for about 4 holes, until I remembered what I was supposed to be doing.

Leg didn't fly off at any point either, happy days 🙂

Decent round.  Par x 3, bogey, par x 2, double, bogey x 2, double, par, bogey, par, double, par x 4.

Can't complain about a 10 over round though three doubles is irritating.  Two of which were lost balls into water.

84, meh. The key thing was I played Thursday, 24 hours before the winter storm that is dumping inches of wet snow & winter mix. The weather and course conditions yesterday were not nice but compared to how it will be next week, it was like Palm Springs. (okay, big exaggeration).

Yes! Thunder snow and Thunder ice last week. Very large tree branch came partially down across our driveway and road. Spent this morning with a chain saw and shovel.  😡

Shot a "2".

      Gauging Wind

      By iacas · Posted

      The wind might be different above 60 feet, but peak height for many golfers is 80-90 feet, so it's spending a good chunk of its time being affected by the wind below 60 feet. But, yes, judging the wind is one of the toughest things. We've had a very windy spring, but it's been a bit more normal lately.

      Gauging Wind

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, I was watching some YouTube golf. Ryan Ruffels mentioned that the Australian National Golf Team brought in the sailing team to teach them how to read wind. They said that anything above 60-FT in-the-air basically fallows the wind currents. So, picking up any grass and throwing it in the air is basically pointless since most all golf shots are going to be above 90-FT in the air. He did make the comment that if you do play on courses where trees are routinely above 60-FT, then the swirling wind matters. That is why, like on the 12th hole at Augusta, it's a pain. The trees down there influence that shot. If your shots are getting near the top of the trees, or above the trees, look up the direction of the wind. If you want to get a better gauge of the wind. Go to the national weather service. If you type in the zip code for the location of the course, at the bottom of the page there is a clickable image for a graph of the weather, Hourly Weather Forecast.  The graph will have surface wind (33-FT above ground), but it will tell you the direction the wind is coming from (i.e. out of the north). If you want to be really technical about it. Going from 33-FT to 100-Ft in height, you are increasing wind speed by about 25% as well.

      Golf Balls

      By saevel25 · Posted

      If you are the golfer who wants to go out on the weekend. Enjoy a few beers with some friends, hacking it around the course. Don't have intention of practicing to get better. Then go buy the cheapest golf balls. Don't waste money when you are not putting in the effort.  The opposite is true. If you plan on getting trying to get better, playing more, practicing more, or if you are a halfway decent to very good golfer who is in the wrong golf ball. Getting into the right golf ball for your game is beneficial. You are putting in time, money, effort into your game. Why devalue that effort or hurt your game by playing a crappy golf ball.
