What'd You Shoot Today?

Shot -2 on 18 at the par-3 course.  Still no aces, but got to within a foot again.  Chipped in from a crazy difficult downhill lie, green sloping away off hardpan.  Ball popped up perfectly.  I knew it was in as soon as I hit it and had 6 seconds to watch the perfection.  No one saw it but me...

44 (+9). I finally got the best of #3 on this course, and even birdied it. I've really lost confidence in my driver. Not that I was all that great with it to begin with, but I'd be good for a few really solid shots sitting about 250 yards down the fairway. Today I was all over the place. The last two times I've played (last Friday, last Monday) I've had 2-3 good drives, but nearly everything else is a guess. I need to figure that out. My iron play has really improved as has my putting. If I could not handicap myself with the drive, I'd be shooting par/bogey on many more holes.

One of those rounds where it was clear I should have hit the fairway more often. :)

75 on an easy course. Didn't play horrible just made a couple bad bogeys mainly because I didn't know where bad spots were on the course. I'm starting to really play better golf and hit good shots though.

91 with two 8s and a 7.  35 putts.  On the plus side I hit 12 of 14 fairways, got up and down from the sand, and actually hit the ball better than on any round since I came back to the game a year ago.  I'll choose to remember the good shots and not the bad ones.

Did a 36 holer today. The am was a despairing 94, the pm I somehow turned around and shot my best score to date, an 80. I also broke forty for the first time with a 38! Must be doing something right these days..

After a disheartening score of 50 (9 holes) last week to start my first year of league play, I managed to get my chipping and putting under control.  I ended up with a 43 gross, which I am happy with, since I am back to playing once a week.  Once I get a few more rounds in, my handicap should stabilize. Right now, it's only reflecting my very best 5 rounds, so I expect it it to creep back up to double digits in the coming months.  A shotgun start on hole five (hole 14, we alternate front/back) had me three off the tee to start the day yesterday, as I duck hooked my first ball of the day into the lake. Luckily, it was the only penalty I incurred for the round.  My drives had distance, but I was pretty much in the first cut on all but two holes, so not too bad.  On a side note, I am really starting to dislike the stock Motore 60 that is in my supertri, as I seem to be having pretty spotty results with it.  I am waiting for a new tip to arrive, so I can reshaft it with my stiffer tipped rombax.

woooh had a great day yesterday. I was just in the zone. I shot an 82 on a par 71 which included a 40 on the front 9. My personal best round ever. I have shot 82-84 before but my other 82 was during aeration and i probably was too generous for all the gimme putts so i never felt quite right about it and i shot an 84 at the same course before but I reteed off once after not knowing there was water in play and playing the whole dumb so i never felt comfortable in saying that i shot that but yesterday I 100 percent legitimately shot an 82. And i 3 putted way too many times. slowest green I have EVER played so made it real difficult. I was real nervous to give the ball a good crack from only 20 feet but its what i had to do to get it there. i only shot past the whole like twice. but i had 37 puts, I hit the fairway and took a bad bounce into the trees a good 4 times. If i played like i did all the time I'd be a 70's shooter.

Played a new course today and shot a 48 (+12). I played well overall but blew up #3 for a 9. I only missed one fairway but no GIR. My putting was good, no 3 putts. My chipping was also pretty good, almost chipped in on #6. The play was incredibly slow, so I left after 9 holes. I don't think I'll be playing there again because of how the club handled it. I called early this morning to make a tee time for ~11:30. They told me to just come up at that time and they'd get me in. I'm thinking, it's mid day on a Thursday, should be easy to get in. Well, the course was packed with foursomes and they weren't organizing the groups so once you paid you basically just got in line to tee off. No starter, no tee times, very frustrating. The 3 people who played behind me and who I partnered up with said they also called for ~11:30 and were told to just come in. I understand this for a single, but for a group of 3 (a mom, dad, and son)? Poorly handled.

I shot a 100 at my cc summit chase, from the blues. 48f, 52 back. The weird thing is I played the front a million times better than the back but the score doesn't reflect it. I carried my bag and walked today which I think wore on me on the back 9. Playing again on Sunday, riding. I expect to shoot lower!

Notes


Wind 5-10, in between clubs and long on #4, dumped a ball in the water on #9 from 220 with a 6-iron (what the hell club do you hit off the tee on this hole??!). Chipped on #5, heard someone coming up the hill behind me, so I held my pose in case they were watching, then I looked and realized it was just my push cart rolling downhill at 35 mph. Thankfully it crashed before entering the water or hitting an old lady. 3-putted, then got back into rhythm on the next hole.

    • Day 14.  Trying to stop that pull hook. This may take a while and I had limited success today. With courses here opening soon I then spent some time practicing short game distances inside 100y.

    • You all are right, its not that big of an issue, I'll leave it alone, especially after looking at that picture of Tigers beat up putter. But I also noticed the small circle worn on the sweet-spot where he hits it every time, I definitely don't have one of those. Thanks for the replies   
    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.
