I recently had the privledge of playing Kingsley Club in Kingsley, MI. It is one of the nicest and toughest courses I have ever played. Being a 21 handicap I was not happy with 56 on the front nine as I made several very poor course management judgements. On the back nine I had 50 and was delighted even though I putted by the edge of the cup by less than half an inch on 4 different holes.

86... and not happy about it. I was +2 heading into #8 and ended up +6 (41) for the front (35) before playing ugly bogey golf on the back (45 on 36).

82, and I was HAPPY

43/39 On the front, I couldn't settle my driver down, I played from the right rough and out of the sticks on the right all morning. Never lost a drive, but I couldn't keep them on the fairway. My irons were dead on and my chipping was ok. I 3 putted twice, but that's normal at my home course (some pretty messed up greens). The back was wonderful, the fairways open up farther to the right on the back 9, which played perfectly into my push/fade. I could actually hit irons out of the fairway and that put me on 5/9 greens, I wish I could putt....oh well, it was a good day. The sun was shining, I had a cigar, my friends were with me, the grass was green...just a beautiful day.

82, and had a milestone, I had 18 par putts. A par putt or better on every green.

81 Today. That was 43 out and 38. I am Struggling lately. It was windy as hell, but still - no excuse for a 43. I am in a real slump. My last several rounds - 83,79,80,80,78,79,80,73,81. One 73, and a bunch of high numbers. My handicap is sliding the wrong way...

50 for 9 . +14. Started out +7 for the first 6 holes which included a double.. Then blew up on the last 3. My putting inside 5 feet was really good. It was my first real round this year.

95 from the whites in very windy (25mph) conditions and horrible course condition. Most dried out and bumpy greens I have ever played in my life. Putts from four feet were a total crapshoot which way they would bounce. Four putted one and three putted the other of my two GIR's

Ended up holing out a difficult birdie chip from 20 yards out and came 3" from my first eagle. My short game was a huge improvement over last time (30% U/D) and I hit my irons very clean all round.

Considering the conditions it wasn't a bad round and I can't entirely blame myself for the 35 putts I had to make on these greens.

46 on 9 holes... shoulda been much lower but i flubbed a few...
first time i didnt lose any balls and scored that high...
had trouble keeping it on the fw's... woods were all pushing...
tried to slice my way outta trouble a few times but the ball decided to go straight and got me into more trouble...
putting was great... chipping was okay...
think ill play a full round tomorrow to redeem myself

I finally did it....after flirting around in the mid-high 70's and low 80's, I finally shot my first 72. And I wasnt trying to. I was just practicing really, but I never hit a bad shot all day. I was +2 on the front with a 3-putt and a failed up and down from the bunker. I birdied #10, but lipped out a par putt on 12 and dropped one in the water over the green on 15 to go to +3. I birdied #16and was happy just to be +2, I had par on 17, and had the wind at my back on 530 yard par 5 #18. I hit my drive and it came to rest on the 200 yard marker, I took my relief, grabbed a 4 iron, and took and easy swing. I knew it hit the green, but I was blocked out by some trees, and when I got to where I could see the flag, I realized it was only 18 inches from the cup. Almost a double eagle, but i settle for the kick in eagle for my first ever 72. monkey off my back, and it was the most relaxed round of my life. I tee'd off as a walking single at 4:15, was done exactly 7:15, and it was 70 degrees the entire time.

Good work guys. King, I hope your next round is similar but don't try too hard to mimic that 72, you might get into trouble! I shot a 41 yesterday while attempting to tweak my swing a bit. Ill go out this afternoon after my test and try to get 18 in.

    • Day 133: did a stack session. 
    • You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.
    • Day 58 - 2024-11-27 Some quick 90-yard shots on a particular hole… before a lesson and testing out multiple Foresight Launch Monitors on GSPro.
    • Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies. 
    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
