I love when this topic starts to get busy!
Golf season starts tomorrow so I'll be visiting this one fairly often.

played yesterday and it was a struggle. 45-43 88. Had the snap-hooks bad. I think this is my last year on the "Winter Swing" program with the local pro. After 5 weeks of hitting off mats into nets I am so screwed up I don't know weather I'm coming or going. FINALLY hit a good shot on 17 from the fairway for my 1st GIR of the day to gain some confidence, and then off the tee on 18. Nailed my PW to 6" from 130 on 18 for the tap in birdie. great finish to a lousy round.

We're having a good warm windy day today. It felt like spring (minus the humidity). It was 80 degrees. I walked 27. Shorts and short sleeve shirt weather!

Played pretty good, didn't make many putts - the greens are quite slow and unpredictable. I made a few birdies but they were all within 10 feet, one was a missed eagle. Shot 38,37,38. (71.4/126 par 72).

I got tired on the 23rd or so hole and had to grind hard trying to finish. Bogeyed the last after a short tee shot upwind.

i shot a 74 today. i was even par going into 17 and finished bogey bogey....AAAGH!

First round of the year. shot a par 36 on 9 holes today at a little course in ames called the oaks. 7$ to play cant beat that.

Terrible 93 on an incredibly windy day on a nice looking course (71.1/127 from the Blues). They'd just aerated the greens and laid down sand. Slow and bumpy. Yuck. Can't wait to play it again when the grass isn't hibernating and the greens are smooth and fast.

Somehow managed to botch hitting 10/14 fairways by only hitting 2/18 GIR and having 36 putts. Ugh. At least it was relaxing.

Played 36 today with a combined total of 2under. A bit dissapointing being that 2 under was the number after the first 18, and was 2 under after the third 9. It got way too cold and I was a bit hungry and bogeyed 14 and 16 on my last 9.

I am really pleased with the way I played today. Used one ball the whole time, which was absolutely torn up at the end. I was on fire with my wedges today. Had four tap in birdies from 40-115 yards, and nailed an 8 iron to about 2 feet on the first round.

My head was just in the right place. I've been reading a book by Ray Floyd and read the chapter on visualization yesterday. Put what he explained to work today, and it went quite nicely.

10 over for an 82...
putting is getting much better... only had 2 3 putts... lots of 1 putts...
driver is still a mystery... only got 2 f/w...
since im not hitting many f/w... girs are hard to come by...
par 3's kicked me in the teeth today... overshot a few greens... caught a bunker...
had some great outs when i drove them in the woods...
lost 1 ball... have no clue where it went... from the fairway to god knows where

Shot 69 today from the tips. Played good except one hole where I hit my drive OB. Made a double bogey. 5 birdies, 1 DB, 12 pars

[Chilli Dipper]

For my first round of the year, I shot a 79 on a par-58 executive course. Almost bogey golf.

My golf courses aren't open yet, but I went out and used 'em as a big field today! Took my Sunday bag and six clubs (well, seven if you count the R9, a second driver).

[Voiceontapex]

had a really nice day out today 61 here, but i shot an 89 hit 11 fairways of 18

my drives were on point today, dead straight, my biggest feat of the day was i drove a 303 yard par 4, but still got par =[ i need to learn to putt

the hole i drove the green on has this hill up on the right side it hit the edge of the hill and shot straight down onto the green,*thank you hill* =] but still 300 yards =] made me happy lol

then i went to taco bell ( I never have the problems alot of ppl do after eating there) haha

then i came home washed my car, cleaned the windows, cleaned the carpet, waxed it, yeee haw eventfull day, and its only 3pm =]

[MrKadash]

I shot a 50 today. That is, 50 on the driving range, as our greens are still frozen.

[flopdarock]

9 over 72 today for an 81
i could taste the 70's till i splashed one in the drink :( then proceded to 4 putt that same hole

[bcollins]

Went out at lunch for a quick 9 holes on a Par 3 course. Shot a 36.

Brilliant move of the day: Hole 5, 170 yards. Good contact and the ball is right on target to the pin....and then lands about 30 yards short of the green...wtf?!?!? Oh..wait...what's this, I'm holding my 9i instead of my 6i!

[LNCHBOX]

Shot 89 at LSU today. 37 freaking putts:( I could not make a put that wasn't a tap in to save my life. Lots of lip outs, but not one dropped. Also had a four hole stretch of triple, triple, double, double that ruined my round. Good thing the weather was nice...

[ChiChiIsMe]

85 today and fell great about is vs the 88 of Wed I felt lost after. 1st 4 were a struggle and after that I found my swing w/ the irons. 45-40. The 40 on the back could have easily been 35 with non-winter greens.

94 at Hallbrook CC. Played as a member guest. Last week shot 104. Solid comeback. Putted MUCH better. 5 1-putts. Also hit a 288 yd tee shot(a 1st for me!) I still felt like I left some shots out there.3 3-putts and 3 lost balls. I think I can shoot in the 80's on this course.It's all about progress.....
