What'd You Shoot Today?

6,560 yrds.  70.7/127.

A very mediocre 80.

Greens had just been aerated and sanded.  Unusual and disappointing that there wasn't a notification on GolfNow when I booked.  They're usually pretty good about that.  One dead pull OB that resulted in a double.  2 birdies, but the greens really made it tougher to get the ball in the hole than is usual on this course.

Played four holes and was even par. Nice U&D; on the last hole after blasting a seven iron over the green. 3 of 4 GIR and 3 of 3 FIR.

84.

Which usually I wouldn't be concerned about, but, I had 41 putts which included eight 3 putts

Missed 1 fairway, and 6 greens. New swing is far more consistent

Yeah, I had an almost identical half-round yesterday... 4 3-putts and shot 42.

88 at Keystone Ranch, first time to play mountain golf in a while. Amazing how far the ball flies up there but greens are tough to read. Piled up the strokes up putts.

83, with taking a 9 on a hole (tournament round so no ESC for the final score, although it will post as an 81). So close to breaking 80. A lot of other shots I left out there, but that 9 really sticks out.

A good day +1 37 on front of 70.9/125 16 Putts-GIR 7/9 77.8%-FIR 5/7 71.4%. Not my best score on that course but definitely the best I've ever played it. I shot a 36 there but I had some lucky putts for birdie that day. Yesterday besides the double I made on a par 3 I was on. I missed two makeable birdie putts so it's one of those what could have been scores. I don't think I had any putts longer than 15 feet. Which kills me to think I 3 putted that damn par 3 after missing the green.

One of my goals this year is to break 90 on the 4 easier courses of Bethpage and then go after Black.  Last year I opened with an 86 on Yellow, this summer I shot an 85 on Green then an 84 on Blue.  I've played Red three times this year (once from the blues) and have bounced around in the 90's.  Yesterday, a 90.  The hunt continues; it's a beautiful course.

First round of golf in over two months... here I was trying to play MORE golf this year.

Anyway, shot 96 (51, 45) which is a lot better than I expected to do. Looks like setting up my backyard net is helping me stay in game shape.

Dreaded 3 digit number :-( .  I shot 52+53=105  @Summitpointe 6331 yd 71.8/136

Lame excuses:

- Wind was just swirling.  Crazy mountain winds.  Many shots just drop dead

- Walking at very sloppy course.  Trying to catch up with carts.  Had to abandon a couple of tee shots even though I know they are not dead

- Half of first 9 hole greens were being aerated with sands everywhere, not to mention pine leaves, debris

- Not excuse but biggest contributor to strokes.  Poor shots everywhere and lack of stamina.  Losing concentration is another.

Played like shit today

+9 45

chunked about 4 irons today, just flat out hit way behind the ball.

Swing is a bit out of sorts today, work to be done.

Well I did a 93 on my home course, 70/118, 6295 yds. Took my Muzzys out for a spin first time this year, they did fine. then I got behind Gollum fishing balls out of the creek on the back nine...and lost my will...well my ADHD kicked in. screwed up doubles on 2 holes...and let Gollum get a couple holes ahead. Finished par, bogey,par,bogey ,bogey....Precious!....

Played six holes and was even par. Made a birdie on my first putt with the new putter.

Out last night for a weird one 46. Can't remember the last time I carded two 7's. I felt like the guys in the 300 yd drive thread. I hit 7/9 fairways on the way to abysmal iron play. Though I haven't input my stats yet I don't think I hit any overly long drives. Actually bladed a wedge over the green twice on the same hole. I swear I heard some old folks sitting on their patio laughing at me.

First time playing 9 in 2 weeks. Shot 40. Started off terrible, bogey on the easiest hole on the course followed by a 3-putt bogey and then double on the easiest par 3.

    • It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.
    • Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄 
    • And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
    • He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.
    • At a basic level, you can take those strokes gained numbers and if you know what the baseline strokes to hole out is from each distance, you can figure out how many strokes on average you will take to hole out from any given spot on the golf course. Then you can take that shot zone thing from shotscope and put it down there and see what the average is for each club and each target you choose. That's not exactly trivial to do though even with a computer, so the strategy guides (like LSW) use rules of thumb to make those decisions easier for you to make on the fly. Most of the time you'll come up with the optimal strategy and on the odd occasion when you don't, the strategy you come up with will be pretty darn close to optimal. If you're anything like me, then you'll probably wind up being a little too conservative with both club choice and target. Fear of penalty strokes can make you play suboptimally. Basically it's a bad idea to base your strategy on a shot that might pop up less than 1 in 20 times. If you happen to hit that shot, then today just isn't your day, but the 19 times you don't, you'll be in that much better of a spot.
