42.. took 2 penalty strokes b/c of poor tee shots and had to chip out of the woods once. Only had 12 putts though and got up and down 5/6 times which is good

Posted

Started Par-Bogey-Par-Birdie-TRIPLE. You should have seen that Triple. The tee-shot was this perfectly struck 260 yard uphill 5-wood draw to the ideal 10 foot circle in the fairway, followed by a not-so-great but manageable pitch to 12 feet pin-low, followed by a slight tap that would have run the ball 1-foot past the hole on any sensibly cut hole-location which ran off the front edge, off the green, and down the fairway. I zipped a pitch back a foot and ended up running it back off the green again. I lost my cool, attempted to chip it up the slope, stopped at the fringe, chipped to 3-feet, and two-putted. Everyone was watching to see how awesome my short game was after that incredible tee-shot. They left after the first putt I finished the round +7.

shot a 78 yesterday at Pasadena Country Club. it was so hot and humid it was ridiculous. i played pretty good though except for one blow up hole (a triple).

45 - 54.

I knew my back was tightening up on the ninth and should have quit. However, it was a beautiful afternoon and I was paired up with a very good player and learning a lot.

Went to the college course today and shot a 92. My driving was insanely good (10/14 fairways when i usually hit like 6 or 7.) but my chipping was very weak and I had 39 putts. Still I played pretty well for walking in some legitimate heat and humidity for the first time this year.

80....38/42. Disappointing but OK. Hour and a half rain delay after ten holes. Never got on track after that. Oh well. It was golf.

Yesterday I shot 72 (even) at Sollerod Golf club ( http://www.sollerodgolf.dk/ )

First nine I shot 38, one double bogey and two bogeys and two birdies.

Last nine I shot 34, three birdies and one bogey.

Was an all-around okay round except for that double bogey.

74 at Whispering Woods . BOMBED drives off 12 and 15 and reached them with 6I and 4I. Second shots of both play a good bit uphill and the holes measure 512 and 533.

Back nine had three pars, three bogeys, and three birdies. Front nine had several 10 footers made for par.

They're demoing a roller that I think they'll keep, so the greens on the front were PERFECT (I passed the roller at the 11th hole).

Slow 9 this afternoon... 40 (+5). Four pars, five bogeys. Three fairways and four greens hit. Only managed to get up and down once. Ugh!

Ball striking was really crisp today. Enough better than usual that I was consistently about 1/2 club longer than I was expecting with my irons. Really good yet really frustrating at the same time.

Had a tournament today and shot 79. I tied for second. Wasn't a very fun round though. Just pars and bogies.

82 tonight from the tips (72.5/131)...hit the ball pretty good, not great, but good enough. Putted much better than I have been. Overall, a very very solid day. Didn't make any huge numbers, which I was very happy with.

Took my oldest niece (7) out today to play. She actually wanted to play 18 but I only kept track of score for the front nine. I only hit one fairway =/, 3 GIRS and 18 putts for a 37. I did get one birdie and about 2.5 feet away from my first ace.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
