What'd You Shoot Today?

Recommended Posts

Played a brand new (to me) course today. Pqar 72, slope was ~128, I think is what the card said.. Anyway, I shot a 5 over 77, and had a great day. 11 fairways hit, with 13 GIR (including the Par 3's), and 2 up and downs for par. I tripled the 6th hole, which was a horrible blow-up, and bogeyed 11, and doubled 15. Only one birdie, on 13, but for my first time there, I am not too upset, aside from the blow-up on 6 and the double on 15, I played fairly well. Had I not sunk my Tee shots on 6 and 15 though, it would have been a much more satisfying round. Going to play there again on wednesday afternoon. See if I can card a few more birdies this time, and keep my ball away from from the bath.

The worst part was, the blow-up on 6 was my own fault. I knew that I had to carry 270 yards to cross the pond, and I knew it was my absolute max carry on a perfect tee shot, and I came up short. Had I layed up in front of the pond (my 3h would have put me right where I needed to be), I would have had a 135 yard 9 iron to the pin, and would have par'd the hole. But stupid me went for the long drive and came up short. I know better for next time, anyway.

My dad shot a 92, which is damn good for someone coming off 4 months of chemo and treatment for cancer. All around, we had a great day, but im still upset about sinking that drive on 6.

Had 10 GIR with 32 putts.

Shot a +5 77 today. Pretty happy with it. Hit 11/13 fairways and hit 10 GIR. Been playing a baby fade the last few weeks. My accuracy has improved considerably off the tee which is just making everything else so much easier to do. Funny that.

Yesterday, shot 80 (40 + 40) with three penalty shots on a course rated 72.1/132.  Gotta get rid of those penalty shots!!!  Total mental mistakes.

Need to focus on one shot at a time.  Easier said than done.  Hard to focus on every shot over the entire 18 holes.

Shot a disastrous 94 today. 54-40 from the tips. Why did I play so bad on the front? Beats the hell out of me, but a 40 ain't bad from the tips

Played Enniscrone G C in County Mayo, Ireland. It was truly diabolical. Wind, lost balls, rough, more rough, more wind, perfect shots meaning more lost balls because it landed on the wrong square inch of fairway. Truly character building.

120 something, but i had a blast. first time i had ever played this course and it's ~500 yards longer total than the course i usually play. good group and i hit all but 2 or 3 fairways and i really bombed some drives out there and hit my 3 wood like money. everything else in the bag was a complete waste of time and that's why my score is so high, but man was it fun to put some drives in the short grass beyond where i thought i could hit it.

74

Parred the front nine with one bogey and one birdie.

Shot 2 over on the back - bad shot out of a sand bunker cost me.

Still, it was a great round.

shot an 83 today in the 103 degree heat (ugh)

10/14 fairways hit

11/18 GIR

36 putts (5 3-putts...Had seven birdie putts inside 15 feet, missed 'em all)

Felt good, though. No surprise the putting needs help.

Chopped my way around a muni track today in 100 degree heat and put up a SWEET 115. By the end, I was just happy to get off the course and into some A/C.

A respectable weekend of golf....... 75.1CR 141slope

Saturday: 79= 3.1 index

I hit it OK, but I missed the greens in all the wrong places. (and I missed a lot of greens...and fairways)...this day was a bit of a struggle.

5 fairways

7 greens

29 putts

0/2 sand saves

2 penalties

1 lousy birdie

I didn't hole any putts longer than 7'.

Sunday: 77=1.5 index

I played great today, but miss-clubbing twice and two 5-iron hooks into par3's cost me 4 penalties!  Aside from those 4 shots causing 4 doubles.....I played great..LOL  I also had 4 birdies without holing a put outside of 6'..........I only needed 24 putts....and I didn't hole SQUAT.  I'm still feeling good about the game....I just need to minimize the disasters.

PS....when I finished my round today, our club pro asked how I played...... I instantly responded with...... "great, I only made 1 bogey" .(knowing how he'd respond) He immediately snapped back with.... "How many doubles?" ....hahahahaha.......I told him 4, but I still shot 77 He knows my game well....LOL

Shot an 89 today.  Excellent round for me.  On the front 9 (the longest and hardest of the course) I had a 44.  Everything was working well.  6 GIR and hit 7 of 9 fairways.  However, the back 9 was a different story.  My driver was no longer my friend.  Luckily, my irons and putting helped me salvaged a 45.  All in all a very good round for me. Now if we could get the temps down a bit.

I shot a 100 that I can be somehwat happy with??? My bad holes are fewer but when I blow it I REALLY blow it! Par 4 5th hole, I hit my approach shot in the greenside bunker and reached the green 4 shots later! This was immediately followed by pull hooking 2 tee shots OB on the 6th tee! So I basically lost 8 shots on those 2 holes. The back nine has 3 par 3s which I proceeded to card 20 shots on! Played the other 6 holes (3 par 5s and 3 par 4s) at +3! Geeezz!

Out early for a quick 9. Shot a 39 with 13 putts, 6 pars and 3 bogeys. A great score for me, lowest 9 of the season. My discarded carry bag with four compartments destroyed my putter grip so this was my first outing with the new Winn Jumbo grip. Not sure if that made the difference but I stroked in some nice long one putts. Also had my new 14 slot bag but I doubt there's any mojo there.

Played yesterday in 102+ heat.  Shot an 81 from the tips (6600 yds, par 71) with a stinking triple on the 8th hole and a three-putt bogey on the 14th.  Didn't drive particularly well, but played pretty decent overall.  I feel like I am very very close to shooting mid-70s.

    • 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.
