What'd You Shoot Today?

[hipcheck4u]

58! I shot a 58!!
...on 9 holes...

Long game was out of whack, but the putter was decent (for me). Today was the first time I have played since New Year's Eve, so I guess the rust is going to need to be knocked off. The best nine hole score I've had is a 49.

First round of the year Saturday: I usually shoot between 86 and 90; I shot a 95 ( bleh ). But I take solace in the fact that I had several very good holes ( pars ), several mediocre holes ( bogeys ), and two complete blow up holes ( a 7 on a par three [ don't ask ] and an 8 on a par 5 ). If I had controlled myself a bit better on the two embarressments, shot a par on them both, then I would have scored an 88, a somewhat respectable score for me. Ah, but then, if pigs could fly......

I just want to reiterate anyone else who has said this in the past on this thread... I am totally envious of you guys who can play golf in mid Feb... we had freezing rain last night... let me repeat... freezing rain...

[Wisco-Kid]

Freezing rain sucks! It is 10 degrees where I am and we are getting 5 or 6 inches of snow today.
It is nice to live vicareously through you guys who get to golf all winter.
Keep posting those rounds!

[Jeepthrills]

We got another 4+ inches last night. I don't know where they are going to put it all. We had the freezing rain last week. Mother Nature was nice enough to then cover that with 6 inches of snow. Oh yeah it was 6 degrees on Sunday...for the high. The low was -2.

My wife and I took a picture of the temperature gauge in her truck when it was -2. We still had one on my phone from August when it was 102. That is a 104 degree swing in six months. There should not be a place on earth that changes 104 degrees. Ever.

This is by far the worst winter we have had in the last 5 years.

[Wisco-Kid]

I think the midwest in general is having one of the worst winters!

[trutrojan8]

I'm so siked I was able to go today.. It was 62 degrees, but its supposed to snow tomorrow . Anyways, I'm just glad I was able to get a round in

I shot a 38 on a par 32 course

Last summer I was consistently making bogie because of improved ball contact. Now I have 50% mishits. Mechanics are good so it must be tempo or hand-eye coordination problems ?

77 yesterday, which I guess isn't awful, but considering I was only 1 over after the first (and more difficult) 9, it was pretty frustrating. There's a tropical depression in the area, so the wind was blowing about 30mph, and that was making it pretty hard to judge distances well. The funny thing was that I started off hitting almost every green in regulation. Then I get to the back 9 where the wind is behind me and hit 2 balls OB. The first was a 5 iron off the tee that just kept going and going....and going....straight down the middle of the fairway...OB. The other was an 8 iron that flew 220 yards right over the green OB. I couldn't believe it. I then get to the last par 5 hoping for a birdie or eagle, as I usually reach it in two as its only 475. Get into the green-side bunker for 2 and end up with a 7. Then of course I three putt the next hole for a beautiful 77.

[Three Putt]

Shot even par walking the front nine at my home course after work (usually 2 days a week i can walk 9). 1 bird, 1 bogey, the rest pars.

Great round considering I was wearing my work boots (long day and too damn lazy to put on the golf'un shoes) and they pulled the pins when I was on the 4th hole. Just went on the course pin position for the day and actually did pretty well just aiming for the front--middle--and back of the green.

Definetly not a tough course 6200 yards, but it is tight and surrounded by trees. Anyway first time I shot even on the front nine from the tips...plenty of +1 scores over the past months since i got the membership, but no level pars until today.

Well...if you are still reading, thanks.

I shot 87 today. I played the blue tees at Baytree National Golf Links in Melbourne Florida.

It was my first time playing with my new CG4 irons.
I was hitting them with a little draw but half the time I hit them I did not figure that the ball would draw as much as it did.

I am playing again tommorow.

[CPHoya]

78 at Ford's Colony at Rocky Mount . This is a great new course that opened in October. Could've been a great round, putts were slipping.

[meenman]

finally broke the 115 barrier - a 113 today

[geezer]

82 today!... ... ... But I suppose I should add that I had a drop out also. More in the interests of pace of play than an outrageously large number. brobably would have been a 7 or 8 (though on a par 5, thats cardinal!). So I'll say 89-90 today.

Man it was a great day, I went down to the greatest golf store/pro shop in Oregon (Fiddler's Green) and picked up my new shoes: Etonic G-Sok XCRs. I hit a bunch of clubs and ending up buying 2 new woods: Touredge Bazooka Geomax 3 and 5 (anyone want to buy a Mactec NVG 3+?). I had all my clubs regripped with new Winn G8's. Then on the way home I stopped at Diamond Woods and shot a 106 which ended up being FANTASTIC because I shot a worse than mediocre 58 on the front 9 which means I improved by 10 strokes on the back for a 9 hole personal best or 48!

I LOVE my new 5 wood and I LOVE Fiddler's Green which is the only store I know of that consistently beats the best price I can find on the internet. That is sooo rare these days.

[raygrinberg]

Played my home course today. 55 and sunny! Working on the swing changes from the winter's lessons. Surprised myself with a 88. .

[FIJIGolf23]

Shot 73 yesterday. Despite it being winter golf season and not playing much, I actually played pretty solid yesterday. I had a couple of stupid chips that resulted in a few bogeys that put me over par. I had some moments of greatness though and made some solid birdies. Also started out putting lights out. Had 7 putts through the first 6 holes, but it turned mediocre as I expected it would.

[TourSpoon]

I had one of my best displays of inconsistency yesterday. We played back and I carded 10 pars, 1 bogey, and 7 doubles for an 87. I don't think that I ever have had 7 doubles ever. At least the 10 pars were solid.

Let's see, I punched out safely into a cabbage palm, three putted, chipped onto and back off the green, two in the water...that's enough!

My best shot was 170 out with a little tree trouble so I went down to a 6 iron, aimed slightly left to avoid the branch and hit a fade pin high. It came off perfect. That one shot made my day.
