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).

You didn't follow up with a round today?   😀

We have Thunder Snow!

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".

Played in my first Elite Am Golf Tour event on Saturday.

Shot one over 36-37= 73 and won Low Gross by a shot.

Hit 9 of 14 FW, 10 of 18 GIR and 29 putts. 1 eagle, 3 birdies, 6 bogeys.

Nice to get the first one out of the way. Looking forward to the courses around here to come out of dormancy, especially the greens.

First round of the year for me was at Coyote Springs Golf Club in Mesquite, NV. I shot an 87 although I did not play that well. Putting saved me as I had no 3 putts for a total of 34 putts. Lots of scrambling and playing from the rough.  Had a triple on a par 4 because I went out of bounds. I am encouraged by my ball striking and putting, but my alignment was off. Lots of pushes and pulls. I have plenty of things to work on, as always. Handicap is at 14.1.

Played a couple of 9 hole rounds recently

+1

Lvl

- 3 (This was actually a very good round with a couple of missed birdie putts inside 10ft)

 

These won't get put in as general play cards as I was playing alone (Plus general play cards that count towards your handicap are being limited to (I think) two of eight in England for elite amateur events, so there is no point submitting them as I wouldn't get in)

Decent round today.  Funnily enough despite warming up properly, my first hole hit my second into the water short of the green.  Decent shot but not enough.  But overall good round.

Double, bogey, par x 3, bogey x 2, par x 2, bogey x 3, par x 2, bogey, par x 2, bogey.

5 over and 5 over.  Total 10 over

Played Minnesott from the gold tees.  Shot 86 (41 front / 45 back).  Of the six pars made, three were up and downs.  Total of 30 putts with no three putts!  Had two double bogies, both of which were on the back nine. Goal is to have a full round with no doubles.  In looking at my approach stats, I am short way more than right/left/long. Focus will be to club up and  use the back of the green distance.

43-44-87

Weird round. I handled the hard holes well and screwed up the easier ones. 

[pganapathy]

Not a great round today.  I realised I was hungry and dehydrated on the 18th, which explains why my back 9 was so bad.  Overall happy with my front 9 except 1 hole.  I started on the 10th.

10-18

Bogey, par, bogey, par, quadruple, bogey, par, bogey, par

The quadruple was just a funny hole.  Hit my driver left into the trees and punched out to the fairway.  Actually punched out so well that it ran across the fairway and actually went OB right of the fairway.  That led to a bunch of bad decisions/shots for the 8.

1-9

bogey, triple, bogey x 3, par, double, bogey, par

Played in my second Elite Am Golf Tour event on Saturday.

Shot four over 41-35= 76 and won Low Gross in my flight. Also 2 skins and a CTP.

Hit 8 of 14 FW, 11 of 18 GIR and 33 putts. 2 birdies, 4 bogeys and a sloppy double.

Hopefully that was the last of the cold and windy weather around here. Next event is in 3 weeks so it should be warmer.
