A pathetic 78. Missed 7 birdie putts on the front 9 alone. Then after getting a little frustrated with my putting the wheels fell off at about the 14th hole.

I broke 100 finally! Shot a 98 (6359yd - 68.0/115). Oddly enough, the typically GOOD part of my game (the putting) was totally off today. If I were playing my normal putting game I would likely have ended up in the low 90s or maybe even the 80s. I only 1-putted a single hole, 3-putted 3-4 of them and even 4-putted a par-3 that I hit in regulation.

Picked up 3 pars and picked up a bogey on the par-5 on which I've never shot better than an 8.

Going to putt until all of my practice balls disintegrate. Next stop: 95.

96 on Fox Run. Everything was working except the putter. I was driving the ball reasonably well, my iron play's the best it's been in a while, my chipping leaves me wanting, but it's so-so, it's just the flat stick that's killing me.

8/14 fairways, 7/18 greens, 42 putts. Ugh.

I learned the hard way that bourbon only works for about three holes. After shooting a crappy 47 on the front, I started taking a drink after every bad shot. Worked for a while, because I birdied 10, 11, and 12, but collapsed thereafter. Came home with a...uh... 49.

Shot an 87 yesterday at Lakota Canyon in Colorado. Felt good but I really screwed up on the last 3 holes to ruin my chance at my best score ever.

Took the Vokey's our for their first spin, an 82 at Bear Slide in Indiana. Pretty good for me. Stuck it 5 feet for birdie first shot with the 56

92 :( Ball striking was fantastic, driving the ball consistantly over 240, hitting all my irons clean, just didn't score. Chipping was awful, and didn't really one putt much. I guess I have some work to do./

44. 8 over at brambleton golf course in ashburn virginia front 9
was slightly dissapointed because I missed at least 2-3 putts by less than an inch (as close as you can get to lip outs) but I can't complain too much because I wasn't too hot off the tee or overall

I shot 79 today, hit 12 greens, had three 3 putt bogie's, missed 4 brides from inside 12 ft. and took 36 putts. I couldn't sink anything today. But overall it was 1 under my cap and it just went down some more so I can't complain about that.

I shot 88 at my homecourse. It´s the best I´ve shot this summer since I haven´t broken 90 before (this year). Last year I had an 88 but after that I never broke 100. This year I´ve been stuck just over 90 but I´ve been very unlucky not to break 90 before. Today I just told myself that I just have to play for bogey every hole and take the pars that come my way. That worked very well since I got bogeys on the first 4 holes, then par, bogey, bogey, double bogey, bogey, bogey, double bogey, bogey, bogey, bogey, bogey. After that 15th hole I was 16 over (par 71) and was starting to worry about my score. On the 16th I rip out my 3 wood and try to go for the green (short par 4). That didn´t work very well since I topped the hell out of the ball and it only went about 60 yards :)....I cursed like crazy but managed to keep my cool and save par. On the 17th I managed to save bogey and on the 18th I got a par and left the course a happy man. Too bad my golf season is almost over. If I´m lucky I can play until mid october or so. Play on....

Good job. It's all relative. My buddy can't understand why I say I sucked when I shoot a 39 (par 31) on our Wednesday night league. The best he has ever managed is 50. However he just started this year. He did get it the other night though when he shot a 56 and was upset. It's all about what your expectations are. Next year you will probably look at a 49 and wonder why it wasn't 44.

    • Day 21 (22 Sep 25) - long day of meetings, took it easy and did some mirror work this evening….giving my left foot a well deserved break. 
    • Day 39 9-22 Practiced backswing tonight without moving head. Recorded face on. Hit a few foam balls. 
    • 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.
