What'd You Shoot Today?

46 (9 over)

Short game and putts were awful!

Its been a while since I've posted to this thread, but today was different as I finally broke 80 with a 79 (39 front, 40 back) from the gold tees just over 5400 yds at Minnesott today.  Had my son and a good friend (he joined us for the back nine) and it was almost surreal as the round kept going GIR-two putts for par.  Hit 11 of 18 GIR (an all time personal best), one birdie, 11 pars, 4 bogies and 2 doubles (both were careless errors on my part).  Anyway, to have achieved that one was one to check off the bucketlist.

First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots.

The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix.

Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

47 (10 over)

All my irons were pulling left, which added a nearly a stroke a hole.

+12 47, and never lost a ball or had a penalty. Got the snap hooks off the tee for the first 3 holes. So, playing the punch out game. Probably had like 20 putts. Bad short game day. The greens were weirdly firm but slow. I just don’t get spin out of the rough. I had a SW, with good height hit middle half of the green and end up almost off the back of the green. I know what I was doing with the full swing. Bad habits creeping in.

Shot a 37 with two birdies. 2 highlights which came on the same hole.  Had a 297 yard drive which set me up for a nice approach on my  nemesis hole which I walked off with a birdie. Previous best for ages was a bogey on that hole.  2 more added to the birdie challenge.
