What'd You Shoot Today?

[iacas]

I shot 76 or 77. My buddy Don and I were playing against the head pro and a HS kid, straight up, even though we were a few handicap shots better. We beat 'em 5&3. I was in my pocket a few times on the front, but turned it around and shot 36 on the back with two birdies and one more "in the pocket" for a double.

Made a 40-footer on one hole for a par after cold heel topping the 3W off the tee, and made a great birdie with an awesome pitch from about 58 yards away, little green, green 20 feet above me when I went for a par 5 and double crossed myself (pull hook, not nice cut).

77 (6 over) on the home course this afternoon. We had a nice cloud cover all morning, so we decided to go around 3 this afternoon. By the time I drove to the course, the sun was shining brightly and burning down on us.

I made a long putt from the fringe to save par on the 1st par 5, dropped a 45footer for birdie on the 2nd par 5, hit the stick on the next par 4 for birdie. Just one of those magical days. I had to triple the last hole by hitting one OB to get to the 77. Just a par on the last and I would have set my all time low round.

Last night was our league. For the first time we could actually wrap up the title mathematically. I still have back spasms and sciatica, but I decided to play and try to carry my bag. I was giving him 4 shots for 9 holes, After 3 holes I was down 5 and my back was killing me. The women in front of us were playing at an all time slow pace and I was ready to kill someone.

I hit a mediocre tee shot on 4 but followed with a 105 yard wedge to 8 feet. I rolled in the birdie to pick up 2 shots. I made a great par save on 5 after a poor tee shot and picked up 3 more. Now we were even with 4 to play. I beat him by 5 more shots over the next 4 holes. My wife won by 10, net 6 and we locked up the belt with 4 weeks to play. We are both 11-1 in our individual matches and we are 10-2 in team matches for a total 64 of 72 possible points.

I shot 74 - 39 35. It was a tale of two nines. On the front, I was stiff and just kind of "eh." On the back I tried to stay balanced on every swing and shot 35... with a bogey on the 10th.

One of my birdies (#16) was a bit lucky. Really slammed into the back of the cup. Would have rolled off the green otherwise.

shot a 41 playing captains choice with myself (2 balls), but with a twist. i took my worst shot each time. its kinda cool, you guys should give a try sometime when the course isnt that crowded.

I shot a 41 for 9 today wiht my new rac HTs and i love them... Even the 3 iron is high and straight... very rare for me. Anyways i hit 3 greens, two fairways, 17 putts, 3 pars and 6 bogies. My best 9 hole score ever...

Good score! Last summer I broke 80 for the first time in my life (40 years of golfing) with a 79. I hadn't broke 40 for 9 in over 10 years. This summer I've had 2 39's and one 38 (my lowest ever) but I had a ace in that 38, LOL. Lately I've been mid to low 40's. Jumped up to 50 a couple of weeks ago. Have an inconsistent putter. When the putters on I'll score. If the putter is off it can be nasty.

Well, repeat my last round less 1 stroke. Shot 76 on home course. This time instead of triple bogeying the last hole, I doubled it.. Yet another one OB. I swear today, I am hitting a 7 iron twice instead of driver on that hole. It is a narrow fairway with OB close down the left and the driving range on the right. The only drive I pushed all day.. Aaaaarrrrrrgggggg!!!!!

[zebrasinamerica]

37 on nine (+1), by far my best score since coming back to the game a few months back. This was also done with my new driver (R7 425) and my new irons (TM MB TP). These clubs were soooooo sweet, I can't wait to get out and play again. I'm hoping to get atleast 3 rounds in this week so i'll post my scores and see if the good play continues.

Shot an 87 today. Pretty good off the tee today (though I only hit 6 fairways, didn't miss by much on the others) , not terribly good ball-striking (only 7 GIR), and absolutely horrid putting.

I was trying out the Utley grip, and it took some getting used to. Took 21 putts on the front nine, with four three-putts in the first six holes. Settled down eventually, and took a decent 16 putts on the back, with only one three putt.

Not sure if I'll stick with the Utley or not yet. We'll give it some time.

I shot a 125 today, had the worst shanks i've ever experienced and lost like 12 balls. I went to the range after and was ok, no clue what went wrong but it was not fun. my last 4 rounds have been 92, 105, 117, and this 125. Time for a lesson.

With a 30-shot swing in four rounds, yes, a lesson is recommended. It's probably something so incredibly simple you'll want to smack yourself after you fix it, but... don't. It happens to all of us.

Shot 78 today at a course I don't play often but and I hit the ball great. I hit the first hole, a short par 5 in two and four-putted. The green speed and pin cut locations were absolutley retarded. The guy said they had a tournament and he wanted to make it diffucult, but it was just flat out stupid. Every pin was in the back of the green and tucked behind a bunker.

Needless to say, I won't be coming back for awhile.

Shot 85 yesterday - in the 2nd round of our Match Play Club Champs, ended up winning 3 & 1 after winning 15,16 and 17 - 17 a small 112 mtr par 3 paying into the wind, hit a half nine iron to the front left - pin was cut back right 45-50 feet away. I was first to putt and broke my opponents heart by holing it..!!!! Never look like missing either - first one of those I've holed in a long time.

Semi-final next Saturday, and 36 hole final on Sunday.

Wish me luck

I was able to skip out for a short-weekend trip to Myrtle (fly in Sat night, fly out Sun night). Saturday we got rain, pretty heavy, so I was happy with my 82 @ Love course. Sunday was beautiful - shot back to back 75's (Norman) and Fazio(par 71 ) . The round @ Norman was the best I played in a while. the 3over par inculded 3 brain-farts ( 2 3-foot tap-ins lipped and overly agressive putt on one of the par-5 resulting in a three-jack). I'm glad that for a change I could score decent on a course other than my home track...
Titleist 905R will stay in the bag for a while

[zebrasinamerica]

last 2 round have both been +1 (on nine) with one birdie and 2 bogeys each time out. This morning I hit 1 fairway, 5 GIR, and had 15 putts. right now my aim off the tee is killing me, i'm sure it's off everywhere but you notice it the most with the longer clubs luckily my short game has come back pretty rapidly from my 3 year hiatis(sp?) from golf all together. I started playing a month or month and a half ago or so with my dad and decided I wanted to try to get back to the level I was at when I was playing tournament golf so I got some new clubs and a new driver and that was the best thing I could have done. My first time out with my dad a bogey was like a par for me now i'm giving my self birdie chances more often than not and have lowered my score by about 15 strokes in the last month with my new additions.

shot a 113 with a 10/4put on the front and a 11/4 put on the back. I could not hit my driver to save my life, though I hit some good iron shots.

[thehillgolfer]

i shot a 91/83 in a two day tourney yesterday and today....i couldnt hit my driver worth anything, i think i hit about 5 fairways combined on both days. and my putting was a bit off too. ooooh well.


anybody got any tips about playing well for a whole round??? today i shot a 38 on the front with a 7 on a par 4 that i was sitting in the middle of fairway exactly 150 out after my drive, and 5 putts that looked like they were going in and either died just as it got to the hole, lipped out, or burned the edge. then i went on my merry way and shot a 45 on the back.

it always seems i get unlucky right when i need a good break to get back on track. i was 6 over on the back and i smashed a perfect drive on number 15 about 300 yards right down the middle of the fairway only to have my ball be sitting in the a halfway grown back divot. so it was basically a small hole. and i ended up doubling that hole when i really needed a par or birdie, but thats golf, or at least my expericiences with it.
