Three rounds this weekend.

Shot 74 on Par 63 course.
Shot 81 on Par 72 course.
Shot 88 on Par 72 course at the country club I joined today.

Hit the driver well on Saturday, couldn't hit it to save my life today.

Plus, this CC course is a lot tougher than what I have been playing.

Had a 55 over 9 holes yesterday. I'm still getting my head around the new set of clubs but I played more consistently than usual. Normally I snag a couple of pars and off-set those with some blow-ups for quad bogey or worse. This round was no pars but no holes worse than a triple.

My main problem at the moment seems to be getting off the tee with any reliability. I had about 7 extra strokes thanks to duffed tee shots this round. My mates were happy as the beers were on me with all the ladies tees I failed to make it passed :(

I shot a 72 yesterday on a par 71. 37 front and 35 back. That was including 3 birdie putts inside 10 foot that were missed and 1 three putt. I did reach one of my goals for the year and that was to shoot front or back side under par and I did that with the 35.

Funny thing is I played a tournament here last weekend and if I would have shot this score on the 2nd day, then I would have walked away with the win.

Played like a dog.....89

shot a 47 on the front, 2 triples w/ 3 putts. 42 on the back. Had a stretch where I played well. 6-15. Had some nice up and downs, a couple real birdie putts. Great driving. Just didn't have it early and killed my round.

90.. 49 on the front with 22 putts and 2 penalty strokes. Talk about not hitting it or putting it well. 41 on the back and bogeyed the final 3 because of missing easy up and downs. Still didn't strike the ball well but seemed to keep it close

Round #2 coming up :D

103... played at 5:30AM... I never seem to play well that early, haha. 51/52... My irons were horrible on the back nine, must have been lifting my head up or something but it was ugly! I'll probably play again on Thursday.

I went 41/36 for a 77 on a par 72. Driver didn't improve as much as I thought it would after I did so well with it at my range session yesterday. Short game helped a lot which is usually how it goes seeing as it is the best and most consistent part of my game. I seemed to be extremely accurate today leaving a couple approach shots within two feet.

Played a really great round today, shot a 79. Shot +1 36 on the front, played mediocre at best on the back for a 43 but I held it together - even though I didn't bring my A game to the back nine, I was happy I didn't blow up and have my round go down the drain.

This helped lower my handicap too.

79 Yesterday on a US Open Course. 40 on the front (par 35), 39 on the back (par 36). Started off with a par on #1, missed 4 foot par putt on #2, doubled #3, doubled #4, from there, played 3 over the rest of the way. Only hit 4 fairways and 5 greens all day with 2 of the birdie putts about 10 feet, lipped both, and the other 2 about 15 footers, neither went it. 12 pars, 4 bogeys, 2 doubles. Now if I could just hit my driver straight...

95 yesterday. Couldn't hit my driver to save my life, but my irons were working pretty good and putting was solid for me. I couldn't get up and down but once, but I only had 1 3-putt and nothing worse.

Posted
Played two man best ball on the front 9 and two man scramble on the back 9. Shot 3 over on the front with 6 pars and 3 bogies. Back 9 we shot 3 under, not the best driving day but hit some great shots and rolled in some clutch putts. Think it was the best I ever played. Only one duffed iron shot which rolled up to the fringe. Really helps to play with and against single handicap and scratch golfers.

Had 36-39 yesterday. Ran out of gas on the back side. Only made one birdie all day. Playing again today on a short, hilly course that I haven't played for 20 years.

Shot a 40 (+5) over 9 this morning in steady rain. 4 pars, 5 bogeys. I like this trend of not having any real blow up holes.

Let the slow older foursome in front of me bother me too much... But really, when I was standing on almost every tee box with them and the course was wide open in front of them, there was no excuse for them not to let me play through except that they were just being crotchety ass holes...

75 at Whispering Woods . Let a good round slip away at the end, but that was from lack of caring.

    • You know what, I have thought about moving to Arizona a little bit, but I do love the winters here. It really is nice down here from like November thru March. And I totally would do a home setup thing, I really should, but my stupid tennis elbow is really so easily flared up. It's getting better every month with dry needling, but it's so annoying too. I do think I'm finally solving the root causes thru both the dry needle treatments and fixing this steepness/toe strike thing. The former actually does heal it and learning how to plane the club correctly reduces the trauma the elbow takes because of the increase in sweet spot hits. I really should just do a trip to Scottsdale though, I went there once many years ago and it was a beautiful place. Didn't play golf at the time so I really should go. I'd love to get away from the humidity too. And I know there are great mats out there, like at Golf Evolution for example I've been told. In my case, I will hit foam balls off a mat sometimes at home and that has some of the effects of actually hitting a ball while reducing the impact. And this is maybe a topic for another thread, but I've found just making air swings to be more beneficial to me than I originally thought -- that going really fast and not hitting a ball shows my flaws quite a bit too. I'll film myself just making fast air swings inside and trying to fix it. It's almost like speed training except if speed training included trying to make a really technically sound swing on top of it. Hopefully this comment isn't too much of a tangent, but It is the winter depression thread, so maybe tangents about what to do with oneself indoors with golf is okay. Appreciate it though, I really have thought about Arizona a couple times over the last year at least.
    • Day 23: chipped in the garage with foam balls. Focused on crisp contact. Did mostly lower chips but mixed in some higher ones. Slightly more open stance, plus ball more toward middle, plus higher handle led to the best results. Need to keep those 3 things in mind. 
    • Day 2: Worked on distance wedge swing feels. The feel for me is to keep the upper body down more while straightening the lead leg.
    • Day 18 (September 22).  I understand the two club drill better, and was alternating that and hitting a few smooth 6-iron shots;  indoors, off a mat, into the net.  I spent about 20 minutes on this thus far tonight.
    • I don't know your family or work situation, but have you considered relocating to Arizona?  I was out there the past month or so and played quite a few times;  it's hot, but not humid.   Or, if your house is sufficient size, consider setting up an indoor practice area, so at least when the weather or your schedule isn't cooperating, you can still hit a few. ... said Shindig, who has routinely disappeared for months, sometimes a year or more, at a time because of getting busy at work and just quietly sobs to himself as he walks past the room where his mat and net are during that time.  Dang, I need to not allow that to happen again.
