What'd You Shoot Today?

Had my best 9 of the season this afternoon in 30C heat. Played with a couple of friends off the white tees and was 1 under through the first 6, then my head got in it and I played the last 3 for 5 over.  Ended up shooting an even 40. CR is 34.5 and slope is 126.  Going back tonight to try again.

Even par 72.  Finished birdie, eagle (and lipped out for an eagle on the front nine for a tap in bird).  It's a 6400 yard course with a rating of 69, but the greens are tiny.

The most difficult distance in golf is the six inches between your ears.

Shot 40 in league... Had two OB's and lipped out 4 or 5 long putts. Coulda been a lot better but I'm happy with my ball striking and made a couple shots that turned some heads tonight. Overall I can't be too mad about this round.

I used to play all the time when I was in high school, but college kind of got me out of the habit. Since graduating I had played 1 round of golf since 2012.

Welp, I finally got the itch again and decided to play my local course, expecting to really hack it up for 9 holes.  It certainly looked that way as I teed off on the first hole, hooked left into the trees, punched out, topped the next for 75 yards, finally pitched onto the green and two putted for my 6.

Then a funny thing happened, I starting hitting my irons as good if not better than I have ever hit them in my life.  Put together a streak of bogey, par, par, and par.  By the time the 9 was over I had recorded a 44 which would have been a pedestrian day my senior year of high school, but for this day I may as well have shot 6 under.

Short game needs work, as one would expect from such a long layoff, but its my pitching and chipping that has declined, not my putting.  That may just be the course, as its the same course I used to practice on in high school, but overall I'm incredibly pleased with how my skills have held up over the last 7 years.

Finally completed one of my goals from the 2011 Golf Goals thread broke the 80 barrier! Shot a 79.  The course plays at 6304 yards with 69.4 rating and 126 slope.  Shorter-ish course but very hilly. Round was going about how I normally play till I hit an eagle on 16.  Gave me enough of a cushion to bogey the last two holes to finish under 80.

After hitting my best of the year on the back 9 earlier in the day, I went back to play the front 9 in the evening.  What a flop.  Made a real mess of a par 5 with a few management mistakes in 2 hazards for my worst hole of the season at 10 and ended the round with 46.

Recorded a new personal best yesterday with a 91 at Van Cortland Park in the Bronx. Its only 5700 yds and rated 66 from the middle tees but it's tight and I've never even broken 100 there. I shot a 49 on the front which is playing pretty exact to my handicap (par 35-35). The back nine I had 5 bogies in a row, a double and then ended with 3 pars. One of my 2015 goals was to break 45 for nine holes and I shot a freakin 42. This is totally new ground for me and I hope to keep it going.

The key was not recording anything worse than double bogey.

4 pars

7 bogies

7 doubles

35 putts

3/13 fairways

4 GIR (only converted 2. 2 of my pars and a few bogies were up and down. My 54 degree wedge was a MONSTER)

I'll be playing again hopefully Tues and Thurs next week. I'm so glad my summer break has started and I'm able to play consistently.

Next Mission: Break 90

I shot 109 today, and I am not discouraged one bit. You might ask how does a 9 hdcpr shoot 109. The answer is quite simple. I played left handed. This is something I am going to devote some time to over the next few months, since I my left wrist will eventually be my down fall due to  previous (non golfing) damage. My right wrist is completely healthy. I always have believed that if I knew in the beginning of taking up this game, what I know now, I would have played left handed from the start. ;-)

Not my best round yet not terrible. Played a round of 9 this morning. teed off from the blues. Shot a 43. I started with 3 bogies on the first three holes which were par fours. Then I suffered through the fourth hole when I missed the fairway on my drive, which also is a par four and got a triple bogie on that one. Then bogied the next two holes and then parred the last three holes which were one par four, a par five and a par three.  Only missed one fairway on drives. Pitched a ball into the water on the third and had to take a penalty shot to get a bogey. Had 18 putts for the 9 holes. Only 3 putted one hole.

82 rate 70.7 slope 135

1 birdie

7 pars

8 bog

2 dub

Played different course in the area for a change of pace, I think I drove the ball okay except for a couple miscues so that didn't hurt too much, I think I'm starting to see where the shots are dropping more often than anywhere else and it's the chipping that's doing it, I think I missed at least 4 very good chances at up and down because of very poor chipping around the green, this is the difference between 82 and 78 and a "meh" golfer at the end of the day and a satisfied one. I think time spent practicing chipping in the near future will benefit me more than anything else right now.

Par 72 70.2/121

88 first round, 95 second round, 41 on last 9

The first 9 on the second go around I struggled a bit but pulled it together *for me* on the back. After inputting the scores for today trending 21.3, so I'd call it a good day.

KICK THE FLIP!!

    • Wordle 1,013 3/6* ⬛🟨⬛🟨🟨 🟩⬛🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
