What'd You Shoot Today?

I went out this morning for 9. I only had 6 clubs, carried my bag and did NOT keep score. It was a lot of fun and a great way to start the day.

 Shot a 95 today which is about what I normally shoot. Honestly not too mad about the round, started with a quad, and a triple on the first two holes, and the 18th was an island green about 181 out so I dunked one there too. I hit 5 greens and only finished with two pars. My speed on my putts was good, but I cannot read a green to save my life ended up with 38 putts and 3 three putt holes.

43,46 for 89 (adj) yesterday off silver but it wasn't a good round for me. I think I am just working on too much right now, trying to ingrain a few changes. Hopefully, all the effort will pay off and the changes will be worthwhile for my game going forward.

My week last week was literally…

  • Pine Needles: 73
  • Mid-Pines: 73
  • Dormie Club: 73
  • Southern Pines: 73

😛

I need to post them to GHIN. I should have done them on the proper days, but I want to use the "stats" part of GHIN and couldn't bring myself to post them at the time. I'll make myself do them now, though.

You were certainly consistent.

Actually just entered my scores and shot 72 at Dormie. That's 1 over so I think I had 73 in my mind for that reason.

And a 72 at Southern Pines, also a par 71. Dammit! 🙂

82 today from the back tees. Birdie on the last hole for that 82. Lots of wind. No one in our group broke 80 today, which is unusual.

Shot 79 this morning (70.8/130).  Surprisingly, not many people were out today.  Part of the problem could be it is VERY hard to get through the phone line to get a tee time.  Everyone is calling in for the weekend and other days.  I had to wait 30 minutes on the phone on Sunday to get today's tee time.

This phone-in only tee time is not good for the business, IMHO, as many people simply give up rather than wait 20-40 minutes.

Today, I ended up shooting a respectable 92 at my home course. Thing is, I went +10 for the first fourteen holes, and +10 for the last four. First fourteen holes, two doubles, four pars, a birdie, and seven bogeys. Last four: triple-double-quad-bogey. Probably my best chance of breaking 90 in the last few months, and I completely screwed it up. I was even thinking about getting the breaking 90 achievement coming down the 16th fairway! A poor way to end my three straight days of golf, but my last three rounds have been 92-90-95, so I’m fairly satisfied. My chipping and putting were better, and my ballstriking was great (all except for the last four). My dad came out with me and played for the first time in four months, and he shot a 37 (he only played nine holes)! A double, a bogey and an eagle on the last. Pars everywhere else. I think he would’ve been happy with anything in the 40s or low 50s, let alone just a stroke over par!

after working on a few drills this morning, I went out today and had an atrocious round. 47,54 for 101.  First time I have been over  100 since Sept last year.  I thought in the 90's was bad and then this grenade today.  Penalty after penalty.  Couldn't hit driver, which was the main reason and I was too stubborn to give up on it.  Just when I was having some good rounds too. Taking a few days off.

    • I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!
    • Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?

    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
