Shot a 43 (on 9) yesterday! That is excellent for me. Started out well with a par, bogey, birdie, then I kinda blew up for a triple. Four bogies in a row, including a couple heartbreakers close to the cup, and ended the round with a par. Both pars were the par 5s, and the birdie was an excellent tee shot onto a par 3 that left me with only about a seven inch putt.

Felt like a pretty good round for me! :)

Even par.  My game could've gone low today, but the greens were cow pastures.  Missed 3x  4-footers for birdie, one 6-footer for birdie, and 3-putted from 20 feet, all good putts.  Hit 80% fairways, 80% greens, average first putt distance was 10 and a half feet.  Carried the round pretty far at a red number, made 1 mistake off the tee that cost me a stroke....

shot 75 from the tips this evening on a par 72 links-style course that i've only played maybe a dozen full rounds on.  my previous best score had been 80 from the white tees, so i'm pretty pleased with myself going 5 strokes better from the blacks, which measures about 7030 yards long.  got my handicap down almost a full point with today's score (from 7.0 to 6.2).  :)

I shot a smooth 82. Not really that bad considering I was 8 over after 6. But played 2 other guys $5,$5,$5 with 2 down autos. Ended up loosing about $80. Could have been a lot worse if I didn't get my head in the game. Ended up shooting 37 on the back. Thank goodness tomorrow is another day.

Happy Gilmore was a Hack!

not too well today, felt like i made good contact but direction was terrible.  This is the hardest sport i have ever played, but i have the bug.......  :)

hit a good drive, then fat, or thin, or hit the ball great and fly over the green.....  chips were short all day, just wasnt confident about them at all.  Lost more balls today than i can remember in a while.  Course wasnt in great shape and the rough gobbled your ball up for keeps.  Smoked a few balls in the trees off the tee left, sliced a few in the woods to the right, it was all over today.

Bright side.  chipped in for PAR, lol, from 10 ft off the green.  Made a 20ft putt to save par again, it just wasnt a day that was going my way.  Felt like even though i sprayed it around, i was making better contact on the shots that were not chips, meaning no bad vibrations and left that pretty green mark in the center of the face.  For me, thats improvement.  Seeing it more and more and am having to adjust clubs for longer and longer distances.....  getting better, but A LONG WAY TO GO.......  so much to work on, glad i have about 50 more years of improvement, im going to need it, lol

anybody else in my boat?????  LOL

3 over on home course (white tees though). Had great success with a new i15 driver. I read/was told these have a fade bias. Straight as an arrow for me. Maybe a hint of draw.

Shot a horrible 101 (56/45) - finished stronger than expected since the heat seemed to drain us. Struggled getting out of the gate and my slight distance gain has put me into a few more green side bunkers (which were not kind to me today)

Last two weeks.. at 4 different courses.. I recorded a 73, 73, 72 and 73.... I know.. What's up with the 73s?   I'm already placing bets that I'll shoot 73 again this coming week at a different course..  I belong to a traveling league that hits new courses each week, and we never repeat the entire year..

84. Stunk up the course.

Tweaked my back loading the bag and stuff in the jeep, took a prescription pain pill and muscle relaxer and made it to the course before they kicked in.

Good thing I was walking and not driving a golf cart. Probably would have hurt myself or someone else.

    • I have that club and absolutely love it!
    • Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°. 
    • Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.  
    • I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.
