What'd You Shoot Today?

Played 9 - it got way too hot.

I got a 60. Pretty good for me. I had a lot of nice drives but my putts were very poor. I started the back 9 but I got too tired and really just frustrated so I stopped at 14.

I shot a strange 43 on the back nine at Whit Lake Oaks. I say strange because the first 4 holes I was 6 over with three doubles and a par. The next two I bogeyed and the last three I parred. I actually hit the ball reasonably well off the tee. I did hit one on the first tee that went OB and helped lead to my opening double. The second double came off a skulled chip when my tee shot ended 10 yards short of the green. My third double followed a perfect tee shot and a decent approach from 220 that ended up just right of the green. Another skull, a shanked chip and two putts later double number three. I shanked another chip on the 14th that led to a two putt bogey. A topped 3 wood on 15 left me with another bogey. I missed a four footer for birdie on 16. Two putt par on 17 and a great recovery after a pulled lay up on 18 left me with a 10 foot putt from the fringe for birdie.

The crazy part is I can count at least 6 shots that I threw away. That isn't even turning doubles into pars.

42-ish on a 9 holer, match play. I won 5 and 4. Didn't take it seriously on the back nine, I am just guessing what I would have gotten if I did. I'd hit two or three balls on the last few holes, or try trick shots, or whatever.

As usual, the lake on #18 got its quota of balls.

48+47 = 95. God, I hate blowup holes. One on the front (10), and one on the back (12).

Three balls in the water lead to my 10, and a pot bunker caused the 12.

Forgot my glove today, and I was push-slicing most of my drives. Couldn't figure out why, but my hand hurts like hell now.

I have no idea, but it took five freaking hours at Cranberry Highlands. With mostly twosomes on all the holes.

Played another match round with a buddy of mine today. I was 3 down after 9 and shot a 48 (including some ridiculous three putts and even a four putt for a 7). I got my shit together on the back 9, shooting a 44 and absolutely killing him. I ended up winning 3 and 1.

(The 44 is a back 9 where I've always had a mental block - and until today, never shot below 51 on.)

All said and done, it was 48+44 = 92 strokes, including an obscene number of putts. Just can't hole six-footers to save my life.

The story of a typical hole? Crush my drive 270 down the middle, have a second shot miss the green (usualy pushed), chip, and then 2 or 3 putt. I even four putted from five feet today.

Today I shot a 3. That is, three shots of a par four and on the green when a hailstorm came in and I had to call it. Last round I played was last week and I shot my personal best on the front 9 (38) then blew up on the back and ended up at an 84, which is still pretty darn good for me. Hopefully ill be out again tomorrow for another 9.

Played this morning at The Refuge Golf Club (71.4/146). Shot an even 100 (52/48) with 28 putts, 5 GIR and 6/14 fairways. Oh, also had 9 balls either OB or lost. Still working through some swing changes and not 100% trusting it yet but it feels pretty good. Course was tight without a lot of room for error.

42/38 and played like butt. Hit about one solid iron all day long. Played with a guy who didn't break 150. Ugh.

I played with a guy once who shot 199! 199! he fell one stroke short of 200. That was a long day.

And another time i played with a guy off 32 (highest your handicap can be in AUS junior) and his goal for that round was to get 4 stableford points . The worst ie done this year was 19 stableford points, and i left after 9 holes because i was sick! That wasnt fun scoring 19 points then calling my mum to pick me up because i was sick
