What'd You Shoot Today?

Recommended Posts

Been playing golf on and off for 30 years. Left the game for years at a time. Started back up a year and a half ago and been shooting high 90's low 100's. Saturday I shot my best score ever an 83. Changed one thing with my swing and it was magic. Playing again Sunday, and will find out if it was a fluke

Played the back today.  39.  4 pars 4 bogies, and a lone birdie.  Two of those bogies were boneheaded decisions all for the slim chance at an eagle putt.  Oh well, I knew they were dumb when I stepped up to the ball and tried to pull them off.

Driver - Cleveland CG Black 265
Fairway Wood - Adams Tight Lies 16 Degrees
Hybrids - 18 and 20 Degrees Adams Pro
Irons - 4-PW Adams XTD

Played our club championship this weekend. 83-75-76. Had a 2-hour rain delay in middle of back 9 on day 1.  At restart we had to immediately go out with no warm up and beat darkness. Sadly I started double double.  But overall a positive weekend with the sticks!

79/77 at my home course. Windy, cold and no roll weekend. Poor ball striking and putting. Amazing game around the greens, all the shots with my 60°, even the bump an run with the face riddicusly close.

Semi-Finals of the match play tournament last night at my local club, shot 40/38 (par 70) to record the 2UP win to advance to the finals!  Was also my best 18 hole score ever there as well as tying my best 9 hole score!  All the work I've been doing in the last month on Key #2 is paying off.

Welcome. I'm glad all the money I've lost to you will now increase as you get even sneakier good than you already are. This is a great site. See you tomorrow night. 

To touch on @dmay_golf post, golf is quite elusive to me when it matters. Preparing for our club championship I shot 78-78-35. On the weekend I shot 80-85-85. Not my best. Then last night I shot 73 and tonight 44-36 for an 80 from the championship tees. I'm very close to finding the right spot with my game.

37+42 for 79. 8 strokes better than my best rounds (87 three times) this year, dumbfounded. I honestly never thought I'd break 80 again, but I don't know what to think now...

Yes, I know @kpaulhus very well. We play a lot of gold together (sadly he's moving in a month). I jokingly call him my human ATM....  But seriously we always have great matches and lots of fun. 

He's the reason I joined this site.

Wednesday,

Kittyhawk GC, Hawk Course, Dayton, OH

47-43-90

Great weather and a light day at work lead me to take the afternoon off and get this solo round in.

This is a pretty good score for me on this relatively hazardous course. It's actually something considering how much of the front nine I spent in the traps. Thankfully, they have some sand in the traps for a change and I did a decent job extricating myself from them. Three pars to finish the round had me nearly breaking 90 for the first time on the Hawk (of course, I have broken 90 on several easier courses).

One interesting thing was the distance I was getting with my driver. Normally, 230 yards is about all I get, but here I had several in the 250-260 range. A couple of the sandies were the direct result of my assuming I wasn't going to reach the traps. Not sure where that extra yardage came from or how long it will stick around.

Same course, same clubs, same golfer.  81,82, .....95!!!!

Seemingly, I wasn't hitting the ball that differently. I hit driver 13 times, 12 were in the fairway or just off. The one bad one, I got lucky and could have salvaged bogey at worse, but tried to be a hero and got an 8. Bad judgement cost a couple of strokes on other holes. I had 3 shots that were just bad ball striking, but would up being very costly.

Excepting the aforementioned 3 really bad strikes, there is no hole in this 6000 yards that I should have a 6 on.

Yes, I recently followed my best round of the year with my worst. 

I need to just stop tinkering with my swing. All it does is cause misery.

I mixed it up a little this morning.  I typically play the white tees at my home course (69.8 / 129 - 6147)... but when I arrived, one of the seniors that regularly frequent the club asked if I'd join their little money game group.  I had intended to play alone, so... I agreed and joined in.  They decided that everybody would play the gold tees (67.2 / 121 - 5553).  

I had never played from anything other than the white or blue tees at this course, so I figured it'd be fun to try something new. 

It worked out nicely because, for whatever reason, the ball was not going anywhere for me off the tee.  I struggled on a few holes throughout (3 doubles and 1 triple), but managed to squeak out a 41 - 42 = 83.  Not horrible for stepping out of the car, being asked to join and jumping on the first tee all in a matter of the first 5 minutes.

I got out tonight and played 9 holes but 2 ball golf.  I was 2 over with ball #1 and 3 over with ball #2. 15 putts with ball #1 and 14 putts with ball #2.  I had one birdie with each ball.  Great night of exercise and golf.  Really happy with the results

    • I would recommend spending some time at the range and film your swing. You can post it in the Member Swings thread. At the range, you can figure out how to control the driver a bit more. We can offer some pointers once you post in the Member Swings section.
    • With the H4 or the watch, you tag the club before hitting by putting the tag next to the device. The tag is on the club butt end. After a round, you don’t really think about it too much. You just do it. I don’t know how far you are from @phillyk, but he may know an instructor in your area.
    • So the biggest issue right now is marrying the hands down with an athletic turn. I can get stuck not turning. Things get interesting from there.

    • Hi everybody!  I am new to the golf game. I have taken some lessons and got fitted for clubs a couple of months ago. I usually score between 110-120 for 18 holes.  I bought a Stealth driver last year and have been hitting consistently with it 210-230 yds on the simulator. But when I take it out on the course, every drive is a severe slice!  I played 18 holes yesterday at the club where I belong. I removed the driver from my bag and used the 5 iron to drive with. I hit straight 16 out of 18 drives, 180 - 200 yds. I used the 5i - putter for the rest of my game.  I ended the day with a 92. Question: Does it make sense for me to continue playing with irons only until I get further along in my game before I reintroduce the Driver and woods again? Or should I continue to struggle with the Driver and woods and shoot in the 100’s again? To me it’s a no brainer, but for those more advanced I am interested to get feedback.
