Played a par three course early this morning which is a very tough little course. My pitching and putting was great this morning. Some of the fairways slope to one side or the other. The greens are fast and have slopes. There has only been one par round recorded on this course in it's eight year history.

I played my best round ever on this course today by shooting a 33. I parred 5 holes. There were two holes which I 3 putted, which really isn't bad because of how tough it is to play these greens. Oh, I almost forgot to give the name of the course. It's Gothic Hill Golf Course in Niagara County, NY

My very first post on the forum... so hello!

Wasn't today but shot a 92 around my local course Rickmansworth, in Herts, UK the other day with some bargain (if a little rushed) twilight golf.

It's a short, ridiculously hilly and tight Harry Colt par 65, where every green has 4 bloody tiers and the only time the ball is level with your feet is on the tee! A cracking little challenge if you're ever in the area.

Played pretty well bar 4 holes, which cost me a 9, two 8's and a 7, so 32 shots for 4 holes! When I go bad, I go REALLY bad! Was working it out when I got home and had 1 birdie, 4 pars and 4 bogies, so for half of the round I was only 3 over. The other 9 (not that I did these in order, it was good following bad) I was 24 over!!!

The story of my golf game, pretty good player but more than capable of going "all in" off the deep end.

Shot an 88 today....really feel good about it to....Last few rounds have been 106, 103, 101, 97, 94, and then today's 88,  However, been going through some health things and today was first time in 3 months that I played pain free...

82 last night with 3 3 putts and a damn triple on 18. Pretty much blew up every hole on the back, even the ones I scabbed a par out of were ugly. I was really tired and wet because it rained heavy. Made the mistake of playing the back with ladies league still out there. Probably would have been better staying on the front twice. Played the front in 50 minutes, the back took 2 hours.

I had three equally great shots today when I pitched the ball to within 2-3 feet of the cup on three separate holes form a distance of about 50 to 60 feet off the greens. Good enough to one putt each of those three holes for pars. My short game works really good when I keep my head down. I keep my head down so long that I don't even see the flight of the ball but only hear it when the ball lands on the green. That's when I look up and I have been enjoying the results.

I shot a 91 on a par 72  70.2/121 course. Totally a tale of two swings. First 5 holes I didn't realize I was letting my right arm get separated from my body too much and was 11 over, from the 6th hole on I was 8 over. Went from 50 on the first 9 to a 41 on the second.

KICK THE FLIP!!

Sept. 1/15 - Went out for a relaxing nine holes by myself.  As luck should happen, I was having a good round making some decent shots.  I ended with a birdie on number nine to post a score of 39 - my first score under 40 in a number of years and one of my objectives for this current season!

Since starting this summer, my best 9-hole round was +9, and for some reason everything clicked tonight and improved to a +5. It was also the first time I tee'd up every hole I played that was Par3, as I usually found I disliked tees on par3 when I tried a few months ago when starting.

42 and a total WTF 9 holes last night. 18 mph wind, enough rain to be annoying, and every bad lie imaginable, eventually started taking pics of where the ball ended up because it was just bizarre. I always tell myself ignore the wind and stay in the game but this was just dumb. Won't bore with every detail but to paint a picture of the wind this is the kind of thing that happened. I hit the flag with a rangefinder on a hole I almost always par, I was just 107 out. I tried to flight a PW in there choked all the way down to the steel and it traveled 157 yards. Actually further than that, where I tagged the next shot with Game Golf was 157, over the green and next to a ditch that's not even marked a hazard it's so far out of play.

Check this out. This was an every other hole occurrence. Bad angle because to show how crappy that was, I was getting ready to address the ball so had to pick it out between the track ridges, club moving across the track not in the direction of, probably the best shot I've hit all year. Unbelievably I made par on that hole playing my third shot from there on a par 4, landed about 5 feet from the hole with a 20 or so yard pitch.

Not today but a few weeks ago (day after my birthday) was in a team of 3 total Stableford comp and I shot 71 (-1) to match the amateur course record. Course is a par 72 and plays 7100 yards off the tips. SSS is 73. Needless to say I didn't get cut as it wasn't a qualifying competition!! I also shot +2 a week later. I was 7 over after 13 holes and Birdied the last 5 in a row (first time I've ever birdied 5 in a row). Just goes to show that anything can happen and you should never let a bad hole dwell on you! Or a few holes in my case...

I played 9 and shot 3 over. Par 34. Good round but I was one over through 8 and hit the perfect hybrid off the tee but the high wind held it up into a fairway bunker. Doubled 9....terrible end after the best round I ever had going.

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Wish I could have spent 5 minutes in the middle of the morning round to hit some balls at the range. Just did much more of right side through with keeping the shoulders feeling level (not dipping), and I was flushing them. Lol. Maybe too much focus on hands stuff while playing.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Last year I made an excel that can easily measure with my own SG data the average score for each club of the tee. Even the difference in score if you aim more left or right with the same club. I like it because it can be tweaked to account for different kind of rough, trees, hazards, greens etc.     As an example, On Par 5's that you have fescue on both sides were you can count them as a water hazard (penalty or punch out sideways), unless 3 wood or hybrid lands in a wider area between the fescue you should always hit driver. With a shorter club you are going to hit a couple less balls in the fescue than driver but you are not going to offset the fact that 100% of the shots are going to be played 30 or more yards longer. Here is a 560 par 5. Driver distance 280 yards total, 3 wood 250, hybrid 220. Distance between fescue is 30 yards (pretty tight). Dispersion for Driver is 62 yards. 56 for 3 wood and 49 for hybrid. Aiming of course at the middle of the fairway (20 yards wide) with driver you are going to hit 34% of balls on the fescue (17% left/17% right). 48% to the fairway and the rest to the rough.  The average score is going to be around 5.14. Looking at the result with 3 wood and hybrid you are going to hit less balls in the fescue but because of having longer 2nd shots you are going to score slightly worst. 5.17 and 5.25 respectively.    Things changes when the fescue is taller and you are probably going to loose the ball so changing the penalty of hitting there playing a 3 wood or hybrid gives a better score in the hole.  Off course 30 yards between penalty hazards is way to small. You normally have 60 or more, in that cases the score is going to be more close to 5 and been the Driver the weapon of choice.  The point is to see that no matter how tight the hole is, depending on the hole sometimes Driver is the play and sometimes 6 irons is the play. Is easy to see that on easy holes, but holes like this:  you need to crunch the numbers to find the best strategy.
