78....36/42. Front nine was one of my all-time best nines. 8 greens in reg on that side. Had a legit drive that went 312 on a slightly uphill hole. Had a lesson yesterday and instructor suggested changing my grip. Worked well as I drained a long putt on first hole. Second nine a little disappointed but weather was deteriorating. Tried to play smart golf on several shots and those decisions backfired on me but overall it was a fun round today.

78 at Crystal Spring golf course in Burlingame, CA a course I only played less than a dozen times.

40 front (including a double)
38 back

9 Fairways hit of 14 or 64%
5 greens hit out of 18 or 27%
24 putts for 18 holes (my best per round)
11 front nine putts
13 back nine putts

7 up and downs out of 12 attempts or 58%

In summary the short game let me down on 2 holes, on led to a double boogie and the other I got away with just a boogie. worked on chipping twice this week and I think that helped a bit.

my best shot of the day came on the 9th hole the number 1 handicap hole, hit a great drive and my approach shot was on a side hill lie so I open my 5 iron face up to compensate for the slope and hit my best shot at about 175 yards, hit the green just 5 feet pass the hole and the iron shot was simply pure with a nice trajectory, missed my birdie putt but 2 putted for par. my buddy, James chunked in approach because of a bad lie and made a tremendous down hill breaking putt of about 15 feet to save par and half the hole with me.

80... Heartbreaking 43 to follow up my lovely 37 on the front nine

Back nine I lost my rhythm and hit some terrible shots. Especially little chip shots...

[Fat Slice]

Terrible day on an easy course. 50 + 55 = 105. New girlfriend calling/paging me twice a hole with her emotional outbursts. This may be the end of her.

I had a wonderful day today. Played 9 and shot 37.

I shoot even in Saturday's Dogfight at my local golf club. It was a three player blind draw. The other two players I was paired with shoot +3 and +10. We finished 1st and split $120.00. I shoot +5 on Friday's Dogfight, but did not place.

I just started playing golf in August. ( I would play maybe once every other year before I started playing regular in August) I have found that playing the dogfight has helped me learn the game. I play every week with different players with different skill levels. I have learned the most playing with the senior players. I have learned that trying to kill the ball is the worst way to play. making solid contact with a smooth swing makes your second shoot much more enjoyable.

I have had a set of MacGregor VIP irons for 15 years. I have put them up for a while and have started using a set of Adams A30S hybrids.

Dead winter hear in northern Spain, but sunny day yesterday with 40ºF. Five layers of clothing.

It´s amazing how we underestimate the short game. I kept hitting worm burners and topping every other iron shot and managed a decent 88 (+7 stableford).

7/14 fairways, every miss was to the right
11/18 greens, every miss was short

Shot 47 thru the front nine two days ago, I tend to play the same course as I am a member. 47 is a reasonable score, I have shot as low as 39 (although that day my chipping/putting was on fire). The weather is very cold in the UK hence distance is a problem, anything below 50 I am generally happy with as i'm trying to get into the mid to low 90's.

I had a double bogey on the first then a treble on the second, then it was mainly bogeys with the odd par, I find I get better as the round progresses but do practice before hand. I think it is a confidence thing.

The 2nd hole I keep double bogeying/treble bogeying, it is a par 3 with water surrounding the green on the right and bunkers on the left. I keep hitting the right side of the green with my first shot (with a slight slice) and landing in the water as the green slopes right, and hence i'm 3 from the tee.

With better chipping/putting I think I could break 90 (45 for 9) easily, after three months of iron lessons my iron play is significantly better (driving, putting and around the green needs work).

best game ever

[glbrum]

played 13 holes today before darkness on my local course this afternoon. 36 on the front [par 31] with a triple at number 5 and a poor putting performance at 6 that lead to a bogey. Should have been atleast a 33 on the front today. Then went +1 on the 4 holes of the back nine.

[ZmaXimus]

Shot a 78. I had two birdies on the front and an eagle on the back. Eagle was 110 out with my gap wedge. The ball took one bounce and went right in...I was shocked. We won't talk about the triple bogey on the back 9

[wedge player]

got a 75 this time around
