today was my birthday, and we (my father and a couple of golf buddies) had planned on heading about 90 mins north to a pretty nice course we all like quite a bit.   however... 90% chance of rain/thundershowers pretty much put a stop to that.  i had the day off, though, and around 1 decided, you know what... screw it.  i'm going to play golf.  there's no lightning, just a steady rain shower.  as luck would have it, the storms broke up a bit while i was playing and i only had to deal with rain for about 6 of 18 holes.  the course conditions, of course, were less than ideal... casual water everywhere, and what wasn't underwater tended to be very soggy.  given those conditions, though, i didn't feel an 81 (par 70) was too shabby.

Set a new personal best yesterday at the home course with a two over par 74. One bogey and one birdie on the front and two bogeys on the back. I really wasn't hitting my irons very well but the chipping and putting were pretty good, particularly my lags. Had several long putts that I was able to roll up close to keep it to a two-putt. No three-putts on the card along with 5 one-putts.

I played 9 holes and shot 38.  It was really pretty frustrating for me, but I stayed positive and just kept plugging away.  Only 1 birdie, but I lipped out a couple.  Just couldn't get them to drop.  Tried to play fades on almost every shot, working on maintaining the flying wedge.  The last hole, I held off a 4-iron and hit a little 200 yard draw.  It's weird holding it off and hitting draws.  Feels really strange to me, but I'm keeping at it.  Either shape, they don't move much.

Not good at all. 53.

It was looking good after 5 holes, only 6 up, which is OK for me. But then my 3 wood cracked, and I went +10 on the last 3 holes to finish 18 over - using my brothers wood. Mostly due to sliced drives and irons, and a few bad chips. Highlight of the round was getting a ~20 foot putt for bogey on a par 5. Straight uphill though.

2 3 putts on the last two holes, mostly due to my frustration from my bad tee shots and approaches.

Shot 74 at tobacco road today.  Front nine started off really bad with some really bad tee shots.  Ended up 5 over on the front and -2 under on the back.  Back nine could have been alot better I hit 8 greens and missed alot of really short putts.

played 45 holes today.  woo!  it was pretty soggy/slushy out there due to heavy rains last night, and i was having some trouble getting my weight shifted back to my left side, but despite all that, held on to a +10 for the first 18, +8 for the second 18, and then +4 for the last nine.  so +22 total for 45 holes.

still cold, still wet from the rains, but played 36 today and shot 75/73 (one birdie, 26 pars, nine bogies).  today might have been the first time that i played consecutive rounds with nothing worse than bogey on the card.

Shot a 93 at the Bobby Jones British course in Sarasota - first time playing the course. Big thing was nothing over a double on a hole - 12/14 fairways, 35 putts, 3 pars, 9 bogies and 6 doubles. My only complaint with the course was only mats on the range - something that I am not used to.

Shot a 93.  Not bad, considering I haven't touched a club in 2.5 months.  I didn't track stats on this one---don't track 'em when I play with my dad---but hit a few GIR and my putting was pretty good for the most part.  Made 5 pars and 5 bogeys, and my driving was phenomenal for my own standards.  Hopefully this means things will come together in the spring when I can hopefully start playing regularly again.

Also nice because it pushed my handicap down to 24 or slightly below.  Been chasing that number for a while now.  I think I'll probably start an official handicap now.

Played Stableford today and scored 25 points. Considering I scored 0 on 8 holes I'm happy with that score.

For me the eye-opener today was the point at which I stopped trying to hit the ball. The swing felt effortless and like I couldn't be bothered to swing the club but I think that's exactly what my game needs.

Par 3 200 yard hole I chose my 4i and somehow over-shot the back of the green by 10 feet.

Par 3 148 yards with front-pin I hit my 8i and somehow managed to plop the ball a foot past a bunker ready to roll down onto the green but it spun back into the bunker instead; happy with distance however.

125 yard par 3 tee'd off with PW and landed pin-high 5 yards right. Looked at the pitch mark and it was a foot left and forward of where it landed up.

Several bunker shots and got out with lovely loft and pace for soft landings.

Used my dreaded 58.08 wedge greenside and managed to stop the ball 5 ft from the pin.

Over-all a nice day today.

    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
