10 Aug 24 - been a while since I’ve posted here, today’s round was a solid and consistent round (41 front and back).  Only one dbl - hole 11 : tee shot tagged the overhanging branches on the right side which meant I hit a punchy 6i for a low running layup to the pond that guards the green that led to an easy 9i (should have went PW) that landed deep on the green to just barely roll off which led to a pitch with the 54 that stopped short for a longish (15’) putt that was a 2 putt for a 6.  Overall it was a solid round as the course was CPO (cart path only) due to the heavy rains from Debby this week.  Stats wise of the 9 pars, 6 were up&downs (greenside drills pay off),  27 putts total (deeply attributable to the chips and pitches putting the ball close).  Fairway misses were for the most part less than two yards deep, no biggie.  It was a good day on a wet course….

44-53=97 at Musgrove Mill Oak tees. First round here since developing tennis elbow on 6/1/24. Very discouraging. Not one aspect of my play was any good today. Pulling the ball off the tee; several 3-putts today after gaining 3.25 and 5.1 strokes putting my last two rounds. Not much fun playing this poorly.

Best round of the year, 38-42-80. Disappointing because I haven't broken 80 in 5 years and was in position to go low on the back. Putting did me in. But I am very pleased about the way I am striking the ball right now. Support your local club pro.

Played Musgrove Mill today, 44-49=93. Hit 11/14 fairways and the 3 I missed were because I hit them through the end of the fairways on 1, 9 and 16 by a combined 3’. Hit 7 GIR but missed birdie putts inside 9’ on 6 and 7. Parred 4 and 18, which are difficult par 4s. Hit over the green on 8, 9 and 10, going +8 on those three holes. All three after great drives. Need more reps! Handicap increased by 1.1 shots after the past 2 rounds. Will go up more if I don’t play better since my 20th score was a 73…

30 Aug 24 - Played the weekly Men's Golf round, today was a return solid play with an 81 (40 / 41).  The second time I've had only one "6"  - next goal is to have a "no sixes round".  Missed several birdies that could have made this an all time low.  Still a solid day of golf, with good approach shots and some great up and downs.   10 of 14 fairways hit, 32 putts, 9 pars, 9 bogies, 0 dbls or worse (a new personal best).

Shot a stress free “no sixes” 78 (38/40) with Covid on Sunday.  Practically asymptomatic (congestion and fatigue), I wouldn't have even tested myself if a coworker I was in close contact with hadn’t informed me he tested positive. Told my group I was planning to skip but they insisted I still play if I was up for it. Glad I did because I hit 13 GIR which might be a personal best, but didn’t putt very well.

43 (7 over)
Driver was iffy all 9, so had to scramble.
Triple bogie on a par 4 killed me!

Leslie Park: 82 (70.1/128). I think I played better than I scored. I have not played much lately and -0- practice has taken its toll.

Shot a 42 tonight. I went out decided to  just swing with good flow and let the swing be what it is. It was overall decent. Especially when I kept it shorter.

Shot my best score today but didn't feel like the best I've played overall. First time breaking 90 though! Shot an 86.
Almost eagled a par 4. Drove the ball to about 10 yards to the green, about 20 yards to the pin. Chipped the ball to land less than an inch from the cup on the second bounce. Was able to birdie it, great feeling!

Shot a 41 tonight. I thought it would have been worse. Started off with a DB, then a bogey. Swing didn't feel good. I found something by the third hole. I end up making a 4 on the last 6 out of 7 holes. Nothing solid, but good enough to hit a few GIR and nGIR. Pretty happy with how I played.

78 today at Minnesott (36 front / 42 back) - a new first with an even par on the front.  A big day of up and downs for par.  Only 26 putts against 4 GIR and 5 nGIR.  Was a CPO (cart path only) day due to recent rains.  Overall game was on - until 18 where I was looking at having a first “no-sixes” and made a triple 7 (tee shot in the lake, 2nd tee in fairway, shot 4 approach to right of green pin high, shot 5 bogie on the green, long two putts for triple 7.  Still a solid round and new personal best.

    • Day 276: 9/24/24 Speed training for Par4Success workout. 107 cruising speed and 114 max. PRGR launch monitor missed quite a few of the faster swings, which it did when I was doing Stack sessions. Not sure if there are better options.

    • I really don't think it's going to be anywhere near as accurate as you think it will be. It'd require you to have the same speed at the same distance and angle to the mic every time. Otherwise, if you swung faster, but the maximum speed was another 6" past the microphone and another 2" away from it, it could read as significantly quieter. I think you're ignoring some really basic physics here, my man. And the fact that microphones in phones are highly directional, too. It's not like an open-air mic in a quiet room. I think this idea lacks almost all merit.
    • I played a hole that looked just like that at Full Cry at Keswick Hall, down near Charlottesville.  Its a Pete Dye design, but clearly this hole imitates the work of some older architects.  Golf Club Atlas suggests there's something of Langford and Moreau in the wrap-around bunker. After my Ohio trip, and a recent visit to the Gettysburg area, I'm up to 321 courses, with at least one additional planned for October.  A long way behind @jsgolfer, but still a lot of fun places.
    • I get that if I do a couple swing today at my home course, and later in the week at my house the decibel readings could be totally different. The surrounding environment of both are totally different so the reading are likely to be different. But for one session only, the current one with the same environment from start to finish, if my normal swing produces 90 decibels as a base line, I should be able to test other swings in order to find one that produces more decibels and expect it to be faster than the base line. I look at this the same way as I work with my PRGR. With 7 iron at home, my average ball speed is 115 but at my home course ball speed is around 120 (same ball, same intent. I guess this is because at my home I don't hit that hard down on the ball to prevent injuries). So.. when the other day I tested a new swing and averaged 122 at home I knew that at the course it should be around 127 and It was almost there at 125.   My question is.. if the environment is the same from swing A to swing B, could I compare their speeds by comparing their decibels? Not the exact speeds but witch one is faster?
