What'd You Shoot Today?


Recommended Posts

Local 9 hole that plays 18 with 2 sets of tees.  97 from the whites.

I am regularly in the high 90s now, which was my season goal, but it doesn't feel as good as I thought it would.  Still too many shots left out there.

Shot a 42 (+7) over 9 holes last night.  That +7 included a double and a triple bogey, so my other holes I was pretty happy with! +2 over 5 holes is something that I can definitely live with, and had a couple birdie chances that I missed longish putts at.

50 - 48, far to many shots left short due to lack of courage plus playing too many missed fairways.  Over all, not too bad considering whee my game is.

Played 9 holes earlier today. (before it got real hot) Carded a 39 with three bogies, and 6 pars. Course was empty. Even the $15 green fees for 9 or 18, which included a cart, couldn't entice more folks to come out. 

I hit a lot of long bump, and run shots onto the greens using my long irons, and a shorter back swing. Some folks are calling these "run up" shots.

The 9 holes, plus two extras only took about 80 minutes.

Still currently playing but shot a 41 on the front 9 which at my handicap is an amazing score. Had to share because I’m pretty freaking pumped.

The round is done and I shot an 84. I’m so ecstatic with the way I played today. Putting has been getting sooooo much better really quickly as I have devoted some time to really working on that stroke. Setup has been key both in stance and grip in creating something that resembles a half decent putting stroke. Pitching was really really great. I went from zero to hero with my 60 degree wedge very quickly. @iacas paint brush feel quick pitching method has been absolutely huge in taking my game to this next level. The margin for error is really fantastic. I didn’t blade or chunk a single pitch. Just a touch of ground before the ball that interacts with the turf nicely since I’ve exposed the bounce and viola, a nice easy pitch.

Break down was 7 pars, 9 bogeys, 1 triple bogey and 1 double bogey.

42 on the back 9 of Missaukee Golf Course. No 6's on the scorecard. I doubled the first hole (par 3) and played bogey or less golf through the remaining 8. 

Hit a few extremely weak drives, so it was a bonus to be able to pick up pars and bogeys on those holes. 16 putts on greens I'm not very familiar with.

Overall, it was a confidence-building round.

Shot 95, but at a really tough course (72.1/135). Really great round for me considering the difficulty. Handicap is trending further downward!

Took advantage of Hot Summer promotion the local course is running for the locals. 

Played 9 holes for a score, plus an extra four holes to try a few things out. (10&18 twice).

Carded a 40 with my usual style of play of pars, and bogies. Putted pretty well to save a few strokes.

Except for off the tee, I didn't use too many full swings. Most were in the 1/2 to 3/4 variety. The few yards of distance I gave away using the 3/4 swings from the fairways, I made up with more accuracy, leaving myself better lies to hit from. 

Another plus is I am finally getting use to the higher temps, which will come in handy next week in Death Valley's higher temps.

At the turn, I am having an interesting round.

Started with several doubles, finished with several pars and a birdie for a front 44. (Very good for me)

 

Let's see how the back goes.

Oh it went.  Poorly.  56 for a 100.

Rushed a few, tried to whack a few, tried to get cute with a few and kerblewie.

On a positive note, i got rid of my slice, and had to try to get over 100 instead of having to try to get under, lol.

Played in the final match of our B-Team Interclub league yesterday and I finally think I might be coming out of my long funk.  Had been playing awful, but yesterday was the best round of the year.

35-36-71 Only 8 GIRS, but had 16 NGIR’s, so ended up with 16 pars, 1 birdie and 1 bogey.  

Plus we won our match and we are on to the playoffs.

Second best round ever for me.

Going into the 18th hole I sitting at a 68, I didn't look at my score or I may have teed off with my 3 wood but I probably wouldn't have changed it. I ended up driving through the fairway and had to punch out. It came out hot and blah blah blah, I ended up with double tying my low round record of 74.

    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
