What'd You Shoot Today?

Shot an 87... best score ever and first time breaking 90!!! I was so excited and I didn't even get a birdie, haha... definitely could have done even better though, 3 chipped on a par 4 and my drive landed 25 yards before the green (grrr... I was in the process of playing through a group) and then also +3'd a par 3 (again, while in the process of playing through a group)... hit 8 fairways/greens which was better than normal (I know it's not that good), and had 36 putts (also a personal record).

Despite the poor play while trying to pass some groups, I'm very happy with my score. I would like to play a round where I can keep consistent pace though, that would probably help me a bit. ;)

And yes, first post here!!! :)

38 on the back last night for league. Could not putt. 3 putted for par on the first hole. Only made one 1 putt all night. Couple of bad shots but not many.
Won my match 6-4.....can't believe I'm giving up 2 or more strokes.....

Shot my best score of the year, and it was on a harder course then I've been playing this year (last year's and next year's home course actually) and only my second time playing there this year. Shot a 77 (par 72).

83 (+11). Was +1 through 6 and ended the front nine double, bogey, double. My swing is finally down pat. I just really need a mental teacher for putting.

7/14 fairways
10/18 greens
36 putts

I played this morning and shot a 73(+1). I went out in 35, but got a little ugly coming back in with a 38. Today was the first time I took out my new driver. I got a Nike SQ Str8-Fit and hit the ball the best that I have off the tee in a while.

Another 38 today (+3) on McCabe's North course (34.9/62). Six pars, three bogeys. Putting was good. 2/7 fairways, 3/9 greens, 4/6 up and down. Gave myself several looks at birdie, just never converted... Much fun.

Combines with yesterday's 38 on McCabe's middle course for a two-day 76. Awesome.

Feeling pretty good about my game right now.

102... GROSS. I shot an 87 two days ago! :( My putting was awful today though... chipping was decent. Decided I'll throw down $10 at a Par 3 course for some short game practice before I hit 18 again.

Shot a 3 over 73 yesterday. Great round except for three 3 putts. I've been putting really well lately, but still have a 3 putt or two pop up every round. Birdied 3 of the last 5 holes coming in. Lipped out the 2 that I missed.

shot 8 over today... still didnt feel i played my best even tho i scored pretty well...
i had a lot of lucky bounces and great misses... but as far as quality shots that i tried on purpose... very few...
shots were pretty straight... wouldnt draw or fade when i needed it...
1 good sandsave from a fw bunker 150 out...
1 long putt that wasnt even intentional but ill take it...
every gir i got turned into a bogey... got up an down from everywhere...

Played two rounds today, shot an 84 on the first round and an 81 on the second round. Contact has improved a lot, been working on my weight shift, hip turn, and keeping my right elbow in and have started to make solid contact on the ball first.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
