41-37-78 2 Doubles (Bad) 2 Birdies (Good)

Hit the ball good except on two holes again.  One bad drive on 7 and one fat 7 iron into the water, makes two doubles on the front. Ugh!

First game of the year. Shot 112. For some reason everything off the tee was bad, like I couldn't swing comfortably, it was a miserable day though, rain and hard wind maybe ~20mph gusts but still.

43-38-81 1 double 1 birdie, didn't have my game at all yesterday.    Couldn't chip, couldn't putt, hit a couple good shots that turned out bad, ended up being long, and being that they just cut and rolled the greens that day, being long as @RandallT has mentioned before, is not the place to be at Springfield.

Great score! I've never played there - it looks long. I'll have to make it out there one of these days

Played Boulder Creek Golf Club in Streetsboro OH today.  Was a little windy and really soggy.   But a really nice layout, will like to play it again when it's a little dryer.

41-43-84 at Meadowbrook in Gainesville Fl from the blues. A little better than my average round despite winds 15mph+ today. Scrambled well today after multiple tee shots were pull draws into the rough/trees. Finding my groove with my irons though which is really uplifting!

I had a hell of a time figuring something out at Myrtle Beach, but I said then that it was probably some little thing, and if I just got on video I'd see it and could sort it out… and that was accurate. I found a little thing with my right elbow and managed to play pretty well today, despite mis-hitting a driver on #3 a little. Straight, slight draws… in high winds and soft conditions.

36. 9 pars. Two (first and last) were scrambling pars. The greens were soft and slow though so you could just throw it almost all the way to the hole.

Use the PING Glide 2.0 wedges. Spun one back to the front of the green on #4. I forgot that they're much more aggressive with spin.

Not sure if this is allowed, but I played in a "best ball" scramble. First time for me, though I figure everyone on here knows the game.

Won 7 bucks, with our team shooting 9 under. Seemed like a good score considering it was pretty windy. My foot is still pretty messed up, lost a few balls w/driver, but overall played well and more importantly just had a blast!

Got out to play today which was a pleasant surprise. I play Broadlands a pretty decent course near my house. It's not in great shape yet but not terrible.  The greens are pretty shaggy I'm pretty sure they haven't been cut yet. I ended up shooting a 85 which I was very happy with. It was pretty windy and I'm still dialing in all the new sticks. I absolutely love my M1 3w. I hit it 3 times all off the deck and absolutely smashed it. It was a nice day to get out hopefully we will get some more decent weather it's pretty unpredictable this time of year.

48+45=93. Not great score, but 9/11 fairways and 5 GIRs. So how did i manage that? 40 putts and 2 balls in the hazard

el Alemán had a bad day and only beat me by two strokes (of course, he spots me 10 strokes at the start of the round

Played my first 18-hole round of the year in Spain about a week ago. Shot an 81 (38-43). Was actually going OK, before making back-to-back double bogeys on holes 16 and 17.

76-74 at my home course this weekend. 

In the second round i hit 15 GIR. Missing 14, 16 and 17 greens by only 2..3 yards. Bad chipping and putting all weekend.

Need to get back on practice after my holidays.

Shot a new personal best 81 on Saturday at Airport golf Course in Columbus, OH. went 41-40, 1 double bogey, no birdies. got 11/18 GIR, two putted every single hole plus two 3 putts. Most of the GIR were 20+ feet away so nothing that I realistically would expect to make for birdie. 

Drives and approach shots felt fantastic, some of the pins were tucked in corners so I played it smart/safe. 

I had 225+ left to a par 5, normally would have hit a short 2nd shot then a full wedge, but based on the stats and numbers I've read throughout this site I knew the better play was to advance the ball as far as I could. I had been practice 3 wood off the turf at the driving range the past few weeks so I gave that a go, ended up pin high about 10 yards right of the green, chipped and two putted for my par. No complaints!

    • Thanks and it already has! Like I said, the last three months of my season were the best golf I've ever played. I'm within the realm of "this is fun for me" now. It was super tough grinding thru that break 90 consistently zone where I just kept hitting the toe, I kept popping up and out of every shot, getting steep. I am one of those guys doomed to shoot 95 forever if I don't really put a lot of work in, and I just wasn't gonna go out like that. My goal is definitely to get to that point of playing lots of courses and stuff like you are, but it's been the right thing for me to focus on developing a better motion. The amount of gym work too I've had to do? I see a DPT with TPI level 2 certification twice a week. I'm in the gym five days a week. The sun zaps the crap out of me for the gym too and I need that energy for all the other things I do on top of this stuff. I'm not really trying to become scratch either tho that would be nice! I'm just enjoying the puzzle that is golf, trying to overcome its challenges in an efficient and smart way. I'm very aware of the physical limitations I'm fighting so this summer has been continuing to address those with a good therapist.  But that's awesome, my goal is to get out there and enjoy new courses, play more rounds, just like you're doing! We'll see how this season goes, but I might be near doing that, if I'm not there already. I was only losing like one ball a round over those last three months or so, which is great for me on these sometimes tricky Florida courses.
    • Good luck and I hope it all pays off for you.  I play in 2 year round stroke play tournament leagues.  I enjoy it, love the competitiveness and enjoy both groups and playing different courses every week.  My goals these days is not to be come a scratch player but to shoot under my age.  
    • 😄! I'm not kidding, man! The summers here are pretty rough! I'm not playing at sunrise or sunset though! Seriously, I brought a buddy of mine out for a round in June and he's normally good at handling heat and even he was like "yea this isn't very fun" after about 9 holes.  Keep in mind, I'm not really "playing," either. I'm grinding on the range, making my swing better. It's not nearly so bad if all you are doing is playing and riding a cart, never trying to change your golf swing. But that's not how I experience golf. For me it's like 5 range sessions for every round? It's just how I like doing it, I don't like ingraining my bad move by playing a lot of rounds. And keep in mind, this is a luxury for me. I've played non-stop for three straight years, working on my swing. It's definitely trickier grinding the range in these conditions. And I needed a mental break from it too. My dad for example, he plays thru the hot summer conditions, but he never gets lessons, never works on his game. It's just rounds for him, usually at sunrise. He never gets better. I've decided to take a different path than him in this game. The months away are good for me to do something else because disciplined practice, really thinking about what I'm doing, and trying to change things can be mentally tiring.
    • Geez!!! You were born in 1983.  I was born in 1946, live in SE Texas where we have had 105+ head index all summer and I have played at least 3 days a week all summer long.  I have played all over Florida both summer and winter.  The breezes there seem to be much better than the still heat we have.
