What'd You Shoot Today?

Played 18 at my home course yesterday.  Decent weather, almost 50 degrees with no rain. I played the best front 9 ever, was even par going into 9.  Hit my 3 hybrid onto the green, then 3 putted from 30' for bogey and a 36.

Went double , bogey, double, bogey on back 9 but then dropped birdie putt of my life.  From the fringe over a hump then it broke way right into the center of the cup, about 35' feet.  Not the longest putt I have ever made but the difficulty and the situation made it the best.  Then I went bogey, bogey, 3 putt bogey! and a double.  I really had a hard time with the pressure (i forgot to enjoy it!) and blew my great chance to break 80. I was pretty disappointed even though an 82 is only 2 shots off my best score.  2 3 putts and 3 doubles on the back ruined my score. good news it is only january.  Can't wait to get back out there...

45-45 = 90 (18 over par)

Mediocre round. Hit 5 fairways and 4 GIRs (two of which, I three-putted!). Ball striking was better with more lag and distance with driver

45-48 - 93

Good news was the weather was decent here for a change. Bad news was that I have apparently forgotten how to play golf (supposing I ever knew in the first place). 93 wouldn't have been so bad a lot of places, but I played the shorty course (Community GC Dales). I can't remember the last time I went over 90 out there. Two blow up holes were a primary cause, but not a lot of quality with anything. 

I guess I just can't take things too seriously when I'm not swinging a club for weeks at a time.

43-41 at Elizabeth Manor in 40 degree weather.

Super windy and cold, lot of long approaches (175+) into the wind. Flubbed one chip but in general most nGIRs resulted in chipping/pitching on the green and a ho hum 2-putt bogey. Nothing to write home about but considering the last two rounds as far as my stats once I got nGIR, it is a huge improvement.

Shot 92... 

Off the tee I had a good day, missing only a few fairways, and not by much. I only hit 3 tee shots that really got me into any trouble... one that I just completely mishit and ended up only going about 150 and in the right rough (hit a good recovery after that), and two into water (on 4 and 18).

Putting also felt better, distance control was really good and I only had one three putt. Iron play was definitely lacking as was the short game, although after talking with @mvmac when we played Desert Willow with @DaveP043, that is feeling better (just need more practice).The biggest issue, as always, was keeping the big number off the card; too many times, I'd follow a bad shot with another one and let the problem compound. For example; on four after putting the tee ball in the water, I dropped and put that one in the water as well. A hole that should have been an easy bogey for me is now a 7.

1st Mid Am Tournament here in argentina at Martindale Country Club (Rating 71,9) Blue course, not Championship course.

Shoot 74-82 to tie 25th position with a field of 80 players, winner shoot 72-66 ( 6 under )

First day i was 3 under at 11th hole but i guess the rain afected my game to end up 74 (+2). It Rained all the back 9 holes with heavy rain on the last 2 holes. 

On sunday i was tied for 10th when i teed up, we played the 12 first holes with rain and 60 km/h gusts. It was a really diffucult day that i couln´t handdle. Played really bad and don´t made a single birdie (5 on the previous day)

At least this course exposed my weekness, driving and irons so i have to work on them..

I don´t have much time in 10 day´s its the "US Amateur" Argentinian version. I guess you need to shoot +4 over 2 days on a 76.1 rating course in order to qualify for the matches. so i think i´ll be playing just for fun and experience.

Shot a 78 on my 72par homecourse. First 9 I was 1 under, last 9 i made 3 bogeys than on the last: a blowup hole. Driver off the tee was a hook. With 260 yards left from the rough to the pin.I tried to make it with my 3wood, failed misarably, and shot it OB.  Took a drop and come off with a 7 on a par 4 XD. Course management people, Course management! :P

It was 70's today, unfortunately with 15-20 mph wind.  Tomorrow is suppose to be 40's and rain.  So I went out and played 18.  Shot 40 + 39 = 79 (2 birdies and those pesky two doubles - ugh!).

41-42 for an 83. Lots of wind today and I had a super round yesterday so I am not disappointed. Yesterday I could only get in 9 but shot a 38. Birdied the 1st hole which makes a big difference.

39(+4)-44(+9) for 83. Lots of near greens, quite a few simple up and downs. Very windy. Started very well, was +1 after 6, one blowup hole, pretty happy.

Weather was a pleasant 53 today in No. VA, my golf game was OK, putting was off.  Couldn't get a feel for the speed all day, 3-3putts for a smooth 39-40-79, 1 birdie and 1 double.  Hit two balls into hazard off poor drives.  Was leaving all of my drives to the right, draw was not there today.

Shot a 95 today.  Wasn't hitting the driver well.  Tight course too.  Buddy noticed a flaw in my swing. Was opening my hips way too early.  The final 5-6 holes were MUCH better.  Hit my new G30's too.  Might play 9 Sunday afternoon.

Played 18 holes in rain and cold

46 + 46 = 92

hit 7 FW, 3 GIR and had 36 putts. A lot of missed opportunities. We hit from provisional tees because of rain so course played very short

Drivrr was OK

approach shots and short game were poor. Lot of missed opportunities. 

could not seem get all the pieces together

    • Day 133 (25 Apr 24) - Worked with the Divot Board today added a piece of cardboad behind the ball to help reinforce ball first contact. Contact improved through the round.   Added grandson's football goal posts about 10yds out to add a good start line visual Good session today. 
    • Day 120: 4/25/24 Full Speed Spectrum training session. Low energy today and my speed was lower than normal. Will see what I can do on Saturday.
    • Day 541, April 25, 2024 Ten minutes after lessons. Still not caught up, but should be by tomorrow evening.
    • Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.
    • He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
