81 this morning. One horrible triple due to a tee shot OB. I am still pleased for the most part with my ball striking

Shot 43 (+7) today!

FIR: 4

GIR: 4

Putts: 18 (only one 3 putt)

Birdies: 0

Pars: 4!!!

Bogeys: 3

Doubles: 2

Penalties: I lost my ball in the rough on the first par 5, which resulted in a double bogey :mad:

Overall, I hit the ball really well today, and my putting was pretty good as well! Shots from 135 and in are the biggest source of doubt and difficulty for me.

Finally put together a front & back after struggling this year with letting good rounds slip away.

Front - 37,  Back - 36, one over for the day @ WingHeaven.

Hopefully, now that the course conditions are pristine, scores will be more respectable.

A 90.

48 on the front. 42 on the back.

I swear I"m THIS CLOSE to playing good golf! :~(

I've started using keepmygolfscore.com and am learning a lot about my game after posting just two rounds.

If I can get up and down I could score well.

Right now though, when I miss a green, I bogey.  Par 3s are the worst. - which was surprising to me.

I love this game!

I went from shooting a 73 (33/40) on a Monday, to shooting a 88 (44/44) on the Following Friday. I walked and played with better players for the 73 and rode and played with high handicap players on the Friday. This really shows that if your head isn't in it, your score will show it! I can never figure out my yardages when I ride instead of walk.

Pretty frustrated. Shot another 85 today. >:( Played the front +9. Took me 4 attempts to punch out on a par 5 and 3 putted on a missed green the next hole. Missed the first 4 greens coming in and two putted each before the golf gods smiled on me and i parred out. Back to the chipping green...

It is tough when you can't hit greens.  Only two this morning.  Shot 40.

39-49 for an 88 adjusted to an 87 with ESC. Took an 8 on a par 4 and a 6 on a par 3 on the back. I blew tee shots on both of these holes and I have really become a believer in the importance if the long game. When I am playing decent the tee shot sets the tone and builds confidence.

Here was my best played hole of my round today. I had a 200 yard drive slightly past the green to set me up with a nice chip and putt for par. mind you this whole round was played during a rainstorm with at least 25 mile per hour winds...

Here was my best played hole of my round today. I had a 200 yard drive into the wind that shot straight at the pin, and landed slightly past the green to set me up with a nice chip and putt for par. mind you this whole round was played during a rainstorm with at least 25 mile per hour winds, and my short game was suffering at the time...nothing major but a nice milestone nonetheless. Sorry for the double post I'm new and browsing from a mobile phone...if anyone could tell me how to delete posts that would be appreciated.

Shot a 70 today from a 70.3 CR, par 72.  Decided to play a tee forward because my last 2 weeks have been rough.  But on the range before the round, I had the "ureka!" moment and started hitting most of my shots great.  Had 15GIR, 9FIR, and 32 putts.  I didn't leave myself a lot of great birdie putts but I should've made more.  I had the lines for most my putts, but my distance was off for a lot of them.  Strength was the par 5s, birdied all 4 of them, and my driver (FINALLY!), I had 6/7 good drivers today. The bad one was a weak hook and didn't end up badly, but it still wasn't a great shot.  The rest were dead straight and long.  Felt really good to have it back on my drives.  Weaknesses were par 3s, had a couple bogeys from missing the green and 3 putting once.  My short irons weren't as accurate as I would've liked, either.  Overall, not bad and not great.  But definitely an improvement from recent rounds.

82 today. If I can become better getting out of the sand I can consistently hit mid 70s. I got stuck in the sand three times. Cost me 5 extra strokes. Plus it was a windy day here in the Dallas area.
In my bag Driver: Cleveland CG tour black Fairway Woods: Diablo Octane 3 wood; Diablo 5 wood Irons: Mizuno MP53 5-9 Hybrid: Cobra 3, 4 T-Rail Wedge: 46* Cleveland, 50* Cleveland, 54* Titleist, 60* Titleist Putter: Odyssey protype #6 Ball: Maxfli U4/U6... But I'm not really picky about the ball I use.

    • Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
    • Right. The difference between being 120 out and 70 out for me (this is the important part) is negligible and not worth putting other risks into play off the tee.   Ok the argument against driver is that my shot cone is comically large. It puts every possible outcome into play. You can't see the green from the tee so there's a good chance I'd have to wait for it to clear which would slow down play. That's the third tee right in the middle of the firing range there. I really don't want to wait just to hit a terrible shot and I especially don't want to injure somebody. Yea I have no problem playing out of the rough short of the bunker if I'm just going to lay up short of the bunker, but I absolutely need to avoid flaring it right into the penalty area if I'm going to be laying up in the first place. As a general strategy I understand where you're coming from. But since we're specifically talking about me (this is a shot I'm going to have to hit on Saturday), I think the cost is fairly marginal. I hit the ball 8' closer on average from 50-100 than I do from 100-150 from the fairway and rough and the green success % difference is 4%. Bunker might as well be a penalty drop. Based on the data,  Here's my SG:A data compared to a 10: I honestly don't know how to use SG for decision making. That's why I was mostly looking at proximity to hole and green success rate for comparison. I mostly use SG as a way to track my progress. All good. Like I said, I appreciate the discussion. It makes me think. If I didn't want to see alternative/opposing viewpoints to my own I just wouldn't post anything. You should post it! In your own swing thread, of course. It's been a fun exercise.
    • Played my first 2024 round at Pierce Lake. Boomed my first drive down #10 fairway, then slowly slipped into mediocrity. 83 (69.6/131). The high point was going 2 of 4 on sand saves. My sand game is pretty marginal but today I must have discovered the secret for a couple hours.
    • day 34. Technique practice. Became too quick and outcome oriented. need to slow down and work on technique again. 
    • Day 534, April 18, 2024 Practice before lessons today. Priority piece. No sim this time. 🙂
