Today, I played really well. I played 2 rounds of 9 at my school's course at Vassar College. I kinda just goofed around and my first round was a 41 out of a par 34 (it's a pretty easy rated course). Descent score for me. I used a nike distance ball that was a gift to me and it felt alright, but I wasn't playing my usual noodle balls. Somehow I always manage to lose a few balls on a wide open course, I don't know how. Anyways, the second time around, I shot a 36 using my ball and I never lost it. It felt great. I also caught up with a loose single on the course and he was telling me about how he always hits to the back of this 315 yard green. Then on the next hole, I knocked it to the edge of a 360 yard pin. felt good to wait for his second shot to catch up :)

Played yesterdayshot 88 on a par 76 that I haven't played in years ... felt good off the tee, hit 80% or so of fairways ... putted pretty well, but only hit like 30% GIR (and 3 of those were on 3 of the 4 par 3's) chipping/flop shots from the edge of the greens killed me ... time to work on the mid/short game ...

I'm in Calgary on business this week and played 9 holes at a little course called River Springs last night. I've never played before and there was a pretty fierce wind, 2 clubs at least. Anyways played pretty solidly and had a 43; I was pretty pleased as I lost 3 balls in water but recovered well.

I was par through 13. Then 14 i lost three balls, my game went to hell and I ended up shooting 85. I just about cried.
Ironically right after my sister pointed out the fact I hadn't lost a ball yet.

First round for 2 weeks, been on holiday abroad to a wedding but played excellent and I think scored my best round to date.

85 on a 66 course, started off with 4 out of 5 pars, a few missed putts as well which really let me down on 2 holes of par.

Overall very happy, in the process of updating my Handicap and really hope/dream that I can get into the late teens by the end of the year.

Everything went reasonably well apart from my driving which seems awol although hitting a hybrid or a 3wood from the tee is going great.

I got my card home and realized I didn't write down my score on 18, but I think I shot a 118.



My first time to play in over three years and I was all over the place.

After my disappointing 83 on Wednesday, I decided to back that up with an 84 today. Things just aren't as smooth as they were a month ago, but hopefully I can work it out. I hit some better iron shots today, but my driver was all over the place. My course doesn't have many trees, but I seemed to put my ball behind the ones that are there. I just didn't take care of business today and paid for it. I think I just need to relax and have more fun. I'm taking it seriously perhaps.

Today I shot a dissapointing 78. I had 14GIRs, 1 3putt, a double bogey and the 3 bogeys. My ball striking was solid and I only missed 2 fairways. I just had a bad luck on a par4 where after a perfect tee shot, I hit a 9iron which went right at the pin on a really hard pin position at the end of a green where u have to carry a bunker and the ball hit on the green and spun back to a pot bunker. After that, I got the ball out but hit it a bit thin and the ball was in the rough. I hit a bad chip to about 3feet (it was a pretty simple chip about 10ft) and missed the bogey attempt. Oh.. I almost forgot to mention that a blind man with no arms probably would've putted better than me today.

    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...  
    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
