What'd You Shoot Today?


Recommended Posts

Another goal for 2008 cracked today, shot a 92 on a 70 course, a few mishit shots as usual but slow and steady...

I broke down and bought a yearly membership this morning, so I'll be updating this topic quite a bit over the next 12 months. I shot another 85 this morning, with nines of 41 and 44, respectively. I triple bogeyed the 17th, or it would have been much better. Nonetheless, I was pretty happy with some parts of my game (much improved chipping) and wasn't as happy with some other parts (driving was inconsistent).

73 at Lake View . Had two birdies on 9 and 10, but I couldn't even get a skin within my group. On 10 a guy getting two made 5, and on 9 a guy getting one made a tricky up and down for a 4.

shot 76 today in windy and rainy conditions for our clubs opening tournament, 4 over after 14 holes thinkin im in good shape for the win, bogeyed 15 16 and lost by one, with a 20 foot birdie chance on 15...great way to finish ha

I shot my dog today. Actually I shot 78, not that great but considering I triple-bogeyed the first hole to lose a skin to a 30 handicap, I'll take it.

My draw is your cut.

I shot a 42 on 9 today. That was my best ever. I normally shoot a 44-47 but my irons were working better then normal today even though I couldn't hit my 3 wood worth anything.

played 9 holes, was +5 after 7 holes and finished off strongly with an 8 and 9 on the last 2 par 5s, thus scoring 48.

the practice with irons is showing results, but now would be the right time to get a new club to cover the gap between driver and 3 hybrid. will also consider adding a 60' vokey spin-milled.

Shot ANOTHER +10 over 18.

Do I love the consistency? yes. Am I becoming impatient to start getting into the 70's instead of 80-82 every round? Like you wouldn't believe.

My irons and swing feel so good and have been the same all season. I just can't link good putting and driving with it yet. Putting is average and driving is terrible.

Just played a 66 course and shot a 85. 45 on the first 9 - 40 on the back. Not a long course filled with Par 4s and a few mis hit shots but I am so pleased with the progress I am making. I just want to focus and continue to improve my game.

Shot an even par 72 today. Had a chance to have my best round of the year but pulled hooked one out of bounds on 17 and wound up with a double bogey. But one of my best scores none the less. I'll take even par every day.

Shot 41-41 on my "home course" local muni. Nothing spectacular, but starting to see the results of my dedication to the game. 9 fairways, 8 GIRs, 7 pars, 8 bogeys, 2 dubs & a lone bird. Second-best round of the year (shot 39-41 on Saturday), so I'm working toward my goal of single-digit hcp by summer's end. -LBB

Had my best round ever today, by quite a bit. I only play 9 holes at a time, and today only had time for the executive course (par 30). I've never broken 45 on a regular 9 hole before (best was 46, +10). Today I had an honest 36 (+6, no mulligans, no gimmees). Even more amazing is that I tripled the first par 3, then had 5 pars and 3 bogeys the rest of the round. Only one three putt. Hit my driver on all the par 4s and they were all good distance and in play. It wasn't that I was dropping long putts to save par or anything, just was playing solid golf. Everything feels like it is coming together.

I love this game.

shot a 37 (+1) on the home course today, drove the ball straight, hit some pretty decent long iron shot and putted pretty well... I'm just waiting for my 1st under par round, I was 1 under for a little while then went bogey bogey... My play improves everytime out though, what more can you ask for.

Pretty poor 103, I think I 2-putted every hole and 3-putted lots of them - I have a wicked slice in my driver right now, but I'm hitting my irons quite well. need lots more practice with 3-wood and hybrids before I will feel comfortable playing them, everytime I pull them out of the bag they screw me for several strokes. Much better off hitting my 5-iron. Made one birdie today, and got up and down on several greens just to leave birdie and par putts short or miss by two inches.

I only keep track of my score informally, I do write down fairways hit, GIR, and number of putts, but I really don't have good ballstriking yet. Still working on the basics.

shot 69 which is +5 on my home course
probably should update my handicap cause currently im sand bagging pretty harsh.
(not on purpose just havent updated it this year.)

    • Day 65 - 2024-12-04 Helped @NatalieB with her stuff on the force plates, then hit some balls working on the left wrist stuff. Picking up the club.
    • Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.  
    • As a supporter of the European team even though I chose to live in the US, this is kind of good news. I'm pretty close to Bethpage, but won't be going at these prices. Neither will the crazy drunk NY sports fans who would have made this a very difficult place to play as a Euro. The tickets will go to the city types who are entertaining clients and don't care about the money. Many of them are going to sit there and watch, not get all raucous. I am not dumb enough to believe that this is going to be like a Sunday afternoon stroll in the park for the Euros, but I think it will be significantly more subdued as a result of the prices. Even at $250 I would probably have been watching on the TV anyway so no real skin in the game.
