What'd You Shoot Today?


Recommended Posts

92, 45/47

I didn't use my 3 iron all day. After the 5th hole, I put away the driver and 3 wood as well. Used a 4 iron off the tee.

My putting was shaky or I would have shot 88 easy. But the important thing was that I wasn't getting killed by my bad swings. Put a bad swing on a driver and I'm in the woods. Or OB. Or lost. A bad swing with the 4 iron puts me in the first cut of rough about 175 yards off the tee.

I've never hit the Hawkeye 3 wood consistently. So I'm going to replace it with either another 3 wood or with a 3 or 4 wood hybrid. I do anticipate using the driver again. But sparingly, 3 or 4 times a round. And starting tomorrow the 3 iron is gone. I'm getting a 3i hybrid, probably the Mizuno.

And I'm going to try, try, try to keep playing smart.

In the bag:
Cleveland Launcher 400cc
Callaway Hawkeye 3 wood, stiff
TaylorMade Burner Rescue hybrid, 19*, stiff
TaylorMade Burner Rescue hybrid, 22*, stiffCallaway X-14 irons, 4-SW, uniflex steel, +1", 2* uprightTitleist Vokey 56/8 sand wedgePing A-Blade putterCareer round: 16 over 88Best round...


83 = 41 + 42. 41 ties my best ever 9 hole score, although this was a par-37 front (as opposed to a par-36 back on another course where I had my other 41).

Only one net bogey on the entire card - short par-4, played it safe and found a double bogey.

I think I only missed one putt inside of 5 feet all day - birdie opportunity off a 3-wood, got too excited and peeked.

edit Oh yeah... beats personal best by 2. Previous best was an 85, over a year ago, as 44+41.

94

mostly a good day except for putting which sucked. i must have missed 4 or 5 three-footers. i know i have the game to break 90

(effective) 78 gross, equalling my best round ever off the championship tees.

'effective' because it was matchplay so there were some gimmes. It was 4BBB club championship round. Last time out, I couldn't hit a cow's backside witha banjo - it was my partner did everything. This time I had a great round - really satisfying.

Great match, only five holes changed hands the whole round, we came out one ahead.

44. Best ball on 9.

Shot a 95 yesterday, first time Ive shot sub 50 on both sides. Hit 3 of 4 greens on par 3s (one of the things Im working on), and took 2 snowmen on par 5s. Damn 3 wood hates me. Managed to win my league match, so was very pleased with my play. Its funny, best round Ive shot at that course, and I lament the 3 putts and the fat irons hit. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

shot a 77 yesterday. i cant seem to do better than 77-78 lately. one blow-up hole always costs me a good round. yesterday it was an 8 on a par 4

My game wasn't completely on today, I lipped quite a few makeable par putts; managed to put up an 85 (41/44).

Blew up on the 2nd hole and took a 9, but started making pars down the stretch and sunk a 15 footer from just off the green for eagle on the 7th.

1 eagle, 6 pars, 6 bogies, 2 doubles, one +5

almost broke 80 again today... shot 8 over...
the 2nd day in a row that my score didnt reflect how crappy i was hitting...
really inconsistant with everything...
off the tee... 1 shot went 270... the very next tee shot went a whopping 80yrds...
approach shots were pretty much all pushes...
chipping and pitching were hot and cold...
same thing with putting... dropped a 35 footer on one hole... couldnt drop a gimme on another
RUSS's avg drive - 230yrds and climbing

Just got back from a rain-soaked 9.

38. Tied my low 9 for the year. 1 birdie, 4 pars, 4 bogeys. 4/7 fairways (had a few that I just muffed. On line, but short... ugh...), 4/9 GIR. Always gave myself a chance to get up and down but only managed to once.

90, 43/47 at Waverly Oaks again.

Second best round of the year.

83 (+11). 42/41. I hit 4 fairways and 7 greens. I had a possible career low 31 putts today. For feeling like I played like crap (I'm doing an overhaul on my swing), my score didn't reflect that at all. I hit my driver much better today though my stats don't reflect that. When I missed my driver, I was in the rough with a straight forward shot to the green. I was also pounding it (thanks to the swing overhaul). Irons weren't great (only 1 GIR on a par 3). Chipping wasn't good again and I didn't feel like I putted well (no 3 putts though!!!!). For feeling like I played terribly and shooting an 83, I think I'm making progress.

    • As a supporter of the European team even though I chose to live in the US, this is kind of good news. I'm pretty close to Bethpage, but won't be going at these prices. Neither will the crazy drunk NY sports fans who would have made this a very difficult place to play as a Euro. The tickets will go to the city types who are entertaining clients and don't care about the money. Many of them are going to sit there and watch, not get all raucous. I am not dumb enough to believe that this is going to be like a Sunday afternoon stroll in the park for the Euros, but I think it will be significantly more subdued as a result of the prices. Even at $250 I would probably have been watching on the TV anyway so no real skin in the game. 
    • First, it is on free TV. NBC is free to anyone with an antenna, and is on almost any TV in the U.S. with a minimal amount of effort. Charging "a bargain price" would be incredibly dumb. They charged $750 and the event sold out almost immediately. You could better argue they should have charged MORE, not less. What happens if you charge less: ticket scalpers buy up even more of the tickets because they see value: if tickets were $250, they'd clearly have sold for $1k or more on the secondary market. That's tremendous value. Fans would end up paying the same or more, or just not being able to go. Sure, a few who happened to be online at the precise moment on a fast connection and didn't fumble with their credit cards might have gotten tickets for $250, but the secondary market and ticket brokers would have scooped up the vast majority with automated processes and bots and scripts, then re-sold them later on. This way, fans get to purchase the tickets, and the PGA is earning that revenue, not the secondary ticket brokers. Econ 101. Supply and Demand. Nope.
    • Edit - the link has no title, but basically Tiger wants $5 million for each US player to “donate to charity”   They could put the Ryder Cup on free to air tv, and charge the fans a bargain price to get in.  If you have to  give the players $60 million, that’s why the tickets are $750.

    • P7TWs all day IMO. Especially because they're already fit for you. And it sounds like you have an interest in buying/selling so using the Vapor Pros would only decrease their value.
