What'd You Shoot Today?

[EnergyMatt]

Played in foursomes competition - for first time

Interesting format - found it quite hard to keep your rhythm

We shot 84 gross for a nett 71

Some terrible holes including a triple, which was then followed by two birdies, courtesy of a 30 ft putt and 60 yard pitch in by myself

Was hitting my new irons MD Golf Superstrong Forged really well - they are a complete revelation compared to my 20 yr golf Ping EYE 2s

Played last night at approximately 6:10 p.m. at a course that's about 7 minutes from my house. $7 walking, $12 with a cart after 6:00 p.m. and you can play as many holes as you can fit in. And the course is actually nice. One of my favorites around here.

Shot a 43. Changed my swing up to a more "Stack-and-Tilt" swing so I was getting used to that. Overall didn't play too bad, but easily could have been better.

I shot a 34 on par 35 9 hole course....my lowest score ever there. My previous low score was a 39.

[wannabe]

Shot 113 Friday after carding 137 only 2-1/2 months before - 24 stroke improvement from one round to the next! Lessons & range time payed off big time for my long game.

The good -- driving and fairway play was super improved. Didn't hit a push/slice (my typical miss) all day! Doctor, I'm cured. Made some really great contact, much higher % of the time. Hit the general direction I was aiming every time.

Areas noted for improvement (I know, everything, right?):
Still skittish at the 170-220 approach yardages - did a lot of laying up. Didn't pull an iron longer than a 5-iron, and avoided all fairway woods -- just didn't trust myself with those clubs yet.

Lost combined 8 strokes to two bunkers - ouch.

3 putted a couple of times, and 4 putted at least once - ouch.

With the driver & irons, had one fairway iron flub, and took two mulligans. My basic error was a slightly thin shot, which left me ok usually.

Flubbed some under-80 yard pitches - ouch.

All in all, though, I'm ecstatic with my performance, and so was my playing partner who knows my previous game all too well.

Today was my first time on an actual golf course and I shot a 44 on a par 31 9 hole. I made 2 pars and had some nice iron play. I have been on a driving range most weeks since last november. I love this game.

[Cooker]

Shot a 93 Today...
7 GIR
7/14 Fairways
38 Putts!!!

[Lloyd Braun]

89 at Brookwoods Country Club.
71.1/132
8 GIRS
7/14 fairways
36 putts including 2 four putts

I was hitting the driver solidly early but started push/slicing on the back nine. Hit two shots OB which killed me. All in all, I had 8 pars, 5 doubles, a triple, and the rest bogeys. Very erratic day.

[McGolf-Doggie]

42

2 very lucky bounces

2 blown birdie 3 ft putts
1 blown 2.5 ft par putt!

3 pars
4 bogies
1 triple
1 penta-bogie



5/9 fairways
3 GIR

18 putts

Great day for me despite the blown birdie putts.
Pretty clear I need to work on putting close up with the birdies on the line.

What do they say? "Golf is 90% mental and 10 % mental"? Well those blown birdie and par putts prove it. That and the need to also spend some time practicing putting.

Oh my good lord.. 95.. after going out in 40. Never hit my driver as good but I keep yanking my irons after working very hard the past 3 weeks. Back to the range for me

[anthonykim3]

80 at the course today hit driver decently little bit too big of dispersion but irons and putting was nice 41 out 39 in with 2 doubles 6 bogeys 10 pars no birdies ouch!

[iacas]

75 at Downing . Closed out the back nine really well on several tough par fours.

[Ben]

Still going. 2-under 68 today. That's five subpar rounds in a row. Seven of the last nine.

[muellator]

Shot a 110, 5th time out, missed a 1 footer for a par (yes choke) and had a few pretty bad mishits (couple nasty slices, wind didn't help though). Had a few really solid drives, would have had more had I focused on my swing more. I've made a lot of improvements overall though.

[cnixon83]

played the Irish Course at Whistling Straits... i honestly think this course is as good or better than the Straits Course. anyways... played the back tees (75.6/146 7201yds.). played pretty good... even par 72 (36-36). 10/14 fairways, 10GIR, and 27 putts. on in 2 on 2 of the par 5s with a 2 iron, went long in 2 on another par 5 with a 5 iron, and on the last par 5, 18 i missed pin high right with a 6 iron.

Marched with the Purdue Alumni Band in the 500 Festival Parade in Indianapolis on Saturday. Then, because I'm insane and didn't have anything to do for the rest of the day, I went out and played 18 at Eagle Creek. Shot 81 with an 8 on the 18th. I was thinking about breaking 80 rather than playing the hole.

[Spackler-esque]

86 (41/45) on a not-so-difficult course. Gave away a lot of strokes stupidly. Should've been a lot better, but could've been a lot worse, too. First time playing 18 with people I know since I moved to town, though. It was a lot of fun and the weather mostly cooperated so it was just soggy instead of raining.

[wedge player]

an 88 neck healed up everything i hit was similar to duck hook i dont know if i could shoot any higher than a 88

[iacas]

75 at Lake View . I was being lazy on the front nine and not really keeping my arms straight at the setup, so that led to inconsistent ballstriking through 14.5 holes. At least I got to work on my short game - numerous up-and-downs, one chip-in, and only 26 putts.
