What'd You Shoot Today?

Shot an 80 for the second time in a row. I played by myself and after 9 holes I had 44 and was contemplating calling it a day (I wasnt playing too bad but it was constantly one great shot followed by a terrible one and it was hacking me off). Anyway I decided I had nothing better to do so I carried on to the 10th. I then went par, par, birdie, par, bogey, double bogey, birdie, par, par to card a one over 36. I also thought I had broken the magical 80 (and played 9 holes in level par) with a putt from the fringe on 18 but it just touched the lip and barely changed direction. Still searching for that elusive round in the 70s but im sure its on its way.

My first post here :D

Took up the game about 3 months ago, using my dad's clubs. Still yet to break the 100 barrier over 18 holes.

My round yesterday was on a public beginner's course. (Normally par 33, but 2 new greens are being built currently, making it a par 31) It currently opens with 4 par 4's, followed by 5 par 3's

First 3 holes I went bogey, bogey, bogey, even with some fat iron shots. Next 3 holes, I completely failed, going triple, double, triple. The worst was a 6 on a par 3, in which I chunked the iron tee shot, hit the next shot over the green, chipped it back to the other side of the green, finally chipped it on, and 2 putted. The other triple was on a par 4, on which my tee shot was superb, leaving me about 130 yards to the green, and then I sliced the ball into a bunker, got it onto the green in two from there, and proceeded to 3 putt. (My only 3 putt of the day thankfully)

The last 3 holes were amazing, as I went par par par, my first consecutive pars ever!

So, in total, I shot +11 (42 on this course) over 9 holes, with +8 of that coming from the middle 3 holes. If I do the maths on that, I need  +27 or less over 18 holes to break 100, which is definitely achievable for me. I just need to work on my irons and my chipping.

I plan on playing a full 18 holes on a par 69 in a week. Wish me luck!

78 today. I've been playing really bad lately like 90s. Shot a 42 on the front. Got to the back nine and was 1 over going into 18 par 5. Had a nice 10' putt small left to right break and drained it. Maybe it's not time to quit this game just yet. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=35.339630,-119.090265

My only problem with golf is that I am usually standing too close to the ball............ after I hit it.

73 (+1)  in a 25 mph wind with two three putts. Can I hit the ball like that all the time please, God?

My good run of form came to a grinding halt this morning with a 93. Started with a double bogey after pulling my approach into the bunker and then 3 putting. Got back to 4 over through 6 despite missing 2 makeable birdie putts on 4 and 5. I then went into meltdown dropping 9 shots in 3 holes to card a front nine 48. Back nine was pretty much all bogeys apart from 16 (triple bogey after driving into some trees) and a par on 18. 3 putted 14 and 15 too. Not a round to remember.

38+40 for a career best of 78 (+6) one shot better than my previous best. Had several nice shots including a shot to within 1ft on the par 3 14th. The ball hit the pin and stopped dead about a foot away...almost had that elusive hole in one! Was really surprised I shot so well today, it was pretty windy and chilly (~45*).

blah, worst score i've posted in a month or so... 86 (42/44) on a par 72.  after 14 holes, i thought i was at least on track to do no worse than 80, but a complete and utter blow-up at 15 where i had to take an 8, and then a double bogey on 17, and missed a 12 foot birdie putt by a whisker on 18... it just wasn't my day.

Finally had my breakthrough day.

Been playing just over a year & everything was finally clicking.     In simplest terms, I've found there are SIX components to this game, each of which have to be working to score well (driver; long irons/hybrid; mid irons; wedges, chipping; putter).       I've never had an outing where all six areas have been working together - usually drive well & my wedges let me down; or putting lights out & hooking every other drive off the fairway.       Only melted down on two holes for an 8 and a 10.     Shot a legit 90.     If it weren't for the two blowout holes, would have reached my goal of the 80s.     This is very encouraging ... finally feels like after all the work I've put into it htis year,  I've made significant progress .. too bad the year is over .

Shot 76 at Royal Links Golf Club in Las Vegas with 5 3putts!!  Which is crazy because I putted brilliantly on most of the holes but those 5 3putts were terrible.  A lot of it had to do with the inconsistency from green to green.  Some were rolling VERY fast and others were terribly slow which made lag putting a bit of a guessing game.  If the greens were consistent, it would've easily been an even par round.

Our par 71 was playing a stroke shorter today with the spare hole in play.

82 OTS, which was on handicap (36 points)

I putted righty today with a left hand low grip and I liked the results. I went from missing maybe 7/8 from 3-6 feet, to making 7/8 from 3-6 feet.

A disappointing 3 putt bogey on the last, although I did have to come up a 1.5 metre hill to the top tier. The 2nd putt lipped out..... wah.

Currently sitting 3rd in A Grade. Just waiting on 2 more people to finish for the final placing.

Today I hit 13 greens in regulation and shot 75. My putting needs serious, professional help.

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
