What'd You Shoot Today?

[JeffG]

Best round...i've really stepped up my game this year. I've already beat my best round at least 3 times. At first it was a 6 over, 78...then a 5 over 77...yesterday it was a 3 over 73. Of course, I had to be by myself. But I was warming up for a tournament this weekend, so I get free golf at this place this whole week. It was very rewarding!

district tourney @ south riding golf course (northern va)

100. just depressing. my game needs some major revision/revamping

[playfromthetips11]

Shot an 86. Need to 2 pars on 8 and 9 for a front side 38(would have been my best side ever). Had a 9 on number 8. Destroyed my round. Parred 9 but never got back in the groove. Only 3 irons off the tee for me from now on.....

[Newbie Collection Agency]

46+38=84. Great round for me. The back has to be my best nine ever. No birdies either - just cranking out pars. 18 was played in near-total darkness - lucky I found my ball.

I always forget to post in this thread!

Been playing well this past two weeks, with a 39 on friday, 41 on saturday, 37 on sunday and a 41 during tryouts this week.

Highlight: Shooting 76 at the HS tournament. It was a great round, would've been better if the greens were rolling half way decent. Had atleast 5 lip out birdies and one lip out eagle. Still, I'm not complaining.

Oh, and we won our region by 97 strokes. A new high school record!

[BritBoy]

Goofy day today. I shot a 76, which isnt bad but I could make a birdie putt for love nor money. I hit 10 greens and 2 putted every one of them. I got up and down 5 out of the other 8. Oh well, try again tomorrow

Shot my best round in 3 years today. That's the only reason I am even posting here. Shot 69 with 4 birdies and 3 bogey on a par 70 track. I really had it going and birdied 16 and 18 coming in. My irons were on fire and I was rolling it well. Hit 13 out of 18 GIR. I had such a great feeling ball striking and playing, I didnt want it to end

C'mon! This thread is like the GHIN system. You've got to post all of your rounds, not just the good ones.

I shot a 46 at Fitzsimons last night. I started horribly (triple, double - with a GIR and a 4 putt), and it could've ended up much worse, but it could've been better too. 1 birdie, 1 par, 3 bogeys, 3 doubles, and 1 triple. 1 FW, 2 GIR, 17 putts, 1 penalty. Driving was not accurate at all, approaches were pretty good (a lot of those misses were really close), chipping was OK, putting was pretty bad.

[TheNextBen]

I shot a 70 today. 26 putts : )

[NXT No. 3's]

76. Bombed 6 over 300. Including on that carried about 310 and ended up about 7 yards from the green. Chipped in for eagle. If the short game would come around Id be scratch. Figures, right at the end of the season.

1 more round to go. Inverness CC in Toledo, OH!

[Jaybone]

Shot 81 which is pretty good considering I was using a new Driver (Titleist 907 D1) and some new (to me) Irons I picked up on ebay (Mizuno MP-60's)
The biggest deal came from the Mizuno Wedges that came with the set,(really helped)

[wolverine318]

+6 77 today. 40-37. Pretty crappy overall. I only hit 7 greens (I average 11) But saved the day with good chips and putts. 22 (28 if you count fringe putts as putts)

[geezer]

88 today, not great, but it was my first time playing with a new set of irons... Chipping was really on today.

[Jaybone]

Only had time for 9 and was left dying to play the back.
Shot +2/38
Doubled 4th hole par5 after hitting second shot into bushes and taking a drop, then had a bad chip and 2 putt for 7

Bogied dogleg par 4 due to missed green second shot and bad chip.

Birdied next hole, a hard to stick par 4.

Lipped out for birdie on the par 5 8th

Par'ed the 9th which is a long par 4 and I hardly ever do so.

Was very happy with my round, Really coming into my new Mizuno Irons and Titleist Driver.

[Diggitydog]

+7 (40 + 39) = 79

Had 36 putts, one double bogey and 3 birdies. The wind was really blowing and it was a struggle to make lots of the greens in 2. I was hitting 5 iron into some greens at 150 yards.
Needed a birdie (3) on hole 18 to break 80 and was able to pull that off.

[shortgame85]

I could cry: On my home course, front nine ( the hard side ) I shot a 43; back nine ( the easy side ) I shot a 47. I shot 3 double bogies on the back, 2 on the front. The score should easily have been an 84, 85 or no more than an 86. My putting was not as sharp on three holes ( one dreaded 3 putt on an easy par 3, the green of which I hit in regulation ) and after a great tee shot on the par 5 18th, I flat out mishit my new Titleist 906F4 15.5 degree club on the second shot, straight into trees and anxiety. I just couldn't get it all together. BUT, it was a magnificent fall day! And I was playing golf, so maybe I should hold back the tears for the days I can't play. Ah well, no one said this game is easy.

Unimpressive 44 on the back nie at White Lake Oaks. I doubled the 10th after a perfect drive left me 95 out. I tried to feather my GW and pushed it just under a bush right of the green. After an unplayable I pitched to 6 feet and missed the putt. It looked worse when I missed the green on 11 but I pitched to 6 feet and made the par save. A good drive and a great wedge shot later and I have a 1 foot tap in for birdie. I was feeling better until I got to 13. This hole is a card killer. It is a 400 yard, 90 degree, dog leg right. There is a pond in the middle of the dog leg that will swallow anything hit to the right. I hit a decent tee shot that faded 10 feet too far and went into the pond. From there I still had 200 to the toughest green on the course. I started the ball a little too far right and it hit a tree. It bounced back and right by 30 yards. 10 feet left and I am on the green with a chance to save par or at worst bogey. I punched through the trees into the fairway. Pitched on in 5 and two putted for a tripple. Lost a ball off the tee on 15 en route to double number two.

I started leaking oil on 13. Threw a rod with a bogey on 14, the shortest hole on the course, and blew the engine on 15. Finished par, bogey, bogey. I did find 10 balls in a 5 foot radius in the woods on 18 so there was some redemption.

Very frustrating 100 at Green Valley Ranch on saturday. 71.5/124 (6539 yds.) I probably should've been playing a tee box up, but it just seemed too short at ~6000 yds. This course is pretty tough and it ate me for lunch. Course ratings and slopes are jacked up. I played a different course last weekend that was rated 125, and this one seemed much tougher. Anyway, I didn't play great either, pretty frustrating day. My wife was tearing it up though.
