What'd You Shoot Today?


iacas

Recommended Posts

I got a little payback today for yesterday's 89. I shot a 79 and felt much better about my ball striking. I had consistent nines as well, shooting a 40 and then a 39.

I do have one gripe about the golf course today, and I'm not usually one for griping. However, the last five or six greens today had been watered WAY too much. I three-putted two of the last three which ticked me off a little. On one of the three putts, I hit a regular putt, and it came up way short. The next one, I put extra on it, and it skidded 10 feet past the hole. That inconsistency doesn't sit well with me, and it cost me a couple shots today. Other than that, things were fine.

All in all, it was nice to bounce back well. I was going to get my third round of the week in on Sunday, but the course will be closed until 12:30 for something. I don't think I'll be going out at 12:30 in the 106-degree projected heat for Sunday. It's either 6:30AM or bust for me when it comes to playing in the summer.

On a new course where I had to play the front nine twice (leagues on the back nine interrupted my game at the turn), I shot a 47 (with an unlucky lie in a bunker that added 2 strokes) and then a 44. The best part was targeting my first score as the mark to beat and then demolishing it by 3 strokes.

After a trying day, I started playing the back nine of my home course at 6:30p.m., last evening. Shot a 43. Hit my tee shots reasonably well. Started the front nine but darkness fell completely at 8:30 with four holes left to play. I returned this morning ( I live across the street from the fifth fairway ), at 6:30a.m., and finished the front nine with a scrambling 43. Total for the round was 86, which is somewhat better than I have done recently ( see the thread, What I've Learned This Summer in the Golf Talk section ).

11-over 83 from our white tees (6,531). 40-43. Had 7 pars in a row - holes 5-11. 4 doubles cost me though, with 2 balls in the water. Even though I had 35, putts, I thought I putted pretty well with at least 6 from over 8 feet lipping out ...

Given that I started the year at 16 and am now 11.6, I'm moving in the right direction.

78 at Whispering Woods . Putting confidence is way down - time for a session on the Z Factor.

Swing, who knows. It was better today, but I'm still nowhere near where I need to be. I'm going to have to tear it down and put it back together here.

Rambler played with me and had a good back nine.

The stat died today. I hit 9 greens and shot 81. Usually it's 50% greens and I shoot 80 or better. We teed off at 7 a.m. and I guess I wasn't awake and I three putted the first two holes. Dang it!

hey new to this forum and relatively new to golf. today went out with my brother and a buddy in town. i hit the ball very well all day, but the 3 puts killed me! its sad to say but i finally got my first par in a long time on a par 5! i was the winner of the day with +17 for the front 9. a few of those strokes were just bad hits that i wish i could have taken back before i got to the top of my backswing!

I shot a 90 today, which is about my average. However today was different. Today I gained a lot of confidence because I made seven pars, the most that I have ever made in 18 holes. The only problem was that I also made five double bogies and a triple bogie when my 150 yards and in game exploded. I also had 40 putts, including 3 3 putts in a row! Now I know that I have the ability to shoot lower scores then what I have been, I just need to reduce the really bad shots!

shot an 85 yesterday and 88 today with my new Wilson Ci7

decent scores, but both at courses i've never played at before and with new irons that I didn't get to try out before playing :)

loving the irons though, highly recommend to ci7 for the mid handicapper looking for some more control and feel

49-38 = 88. Carded a 9 on #2. Had 140 to the pin from th4e fairway and took 8 to get'er in. Went 6 over in the par 3's as well on the front. Other than those three holes, not to bad of a round. Was happy to come back with a 39 on the back. I'm getting off the tees pretty good, I am just struggling with my irons. ALL of them.

I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

In my bag todayâ¦.

    • I would agree with your assessment here. How are you at picking targets? Are you still aiming for the biggest part of the green or do you start flag hunting with a wedge in your hands? I don't really use this one. I would think that's a pretty good assumption, unless you have some weird combination of terrible from inside of 25 yards from the fairway and excellent from outside of 25 yards to offset that somehow, that it's primarily your short game from the rough that needs improvement. You can also go to the proximity by lie/distance breakdown in the overview tab to see more. For example, my SG stats look like this for the short game: But if you go to the proximity page, it paints a clearer picture. Don't forget you can hover over the bars on the graph to see how many you have taken from that lie. My short game inside of 25 yards isn't actually as bad as the SG stat would indicate, but it's completely skewed by my ineptitude out of greenside bunkers. Out of 101 shots overall inside of 25 yards, 22 of them were from the bunker. Many of them from the same bunker. Repeatedly. If you look at a glance at my 25-50 yard proximity stats, you might think it's the same issue, but it's not. Out of 41 shots overall, only 4 were from bunkers there, so that's not affecting the overall numbers too much. Same with the fairway stats, it looks like I do pretty well from the fairway from 25-50 yards out, but n=3. Not statistically significant.
    • Day 131: 5/6/24 Putting and chipping practice. Slow motion swings with a PW tonight.
    • 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.
    • I can just see Norman rushing in to LIV admin building with his silly shark hat gleaming to the Saudis, ‘ Gentleman! Have I got a great idea! Let’s have our OWN golf courses…like American football and NBA Does! It’ll really grow the game!’ He rushes out as the Saudis give him their encouragement. As the door closes and before the smell of Greg’s Brut cologne has even dissipated, they all laugh hysterically.
    • He wont win. I'm just going to leave it alone, Come on, the guys name is Gooch. The jokes write themselves. Had to suck in high school.
