One thing I did notice, was my irons were about 15-20 yards shorter than usual. I hit 3 shots that I thought were going to be good within, 10-15 feet, and came up 20 yards short of the green.

If the course wasn't that nice, it could've been faulty yardages. That's how it is sometimes.

Played Alvamar in Lawrence, KS today. Never played the course, and it was super windy, so I guess I'll take my 79.

Played the first 7 even par, w/ a chip in birdie on #3. Then, +7 in my next 9 holes, with 7 bogeys and 2 pars... had 60+ft putts on 8 and 9, then 51ft on 10, came out of those three holes with 8 putts combined...

Salvaged my round with a 35 ft birdie putt on the final par 3 and finished just under 80.

I shot 78 today in my first tournament on the Egolf Amatuer Tour. It was played at Christmas Lake Golf Course (70.0/126)

7/14 Fairways
14/18 Greens
39 Putts

I played really well. struck the ball well. Got in trouble on a couple of drives, that led to bogeys and doubles. I just couldn't make a stupid putt. I missed 2 birdie putts within 10 feet, and miss a tap in from a foot. But, all in all, pretty happy with the way I played.

In my bag:

DRIVER: 905T w/ Fujikura E360 Shaft
3 Wood 906 F4 w/ Aldila Proto "By You"
Irons: MP 30 w/ Rifle 5.5 Wedges Oil Can 50*, Vokey SM 54* and 58*Putter: C-06

Played in a Scramble today. With 22 teams total (counting us). Myself, my aunt, and two of her co-workers with whom I've played with my multiple times. Her two co-workers are around a 17-20 handicap, and my aunt is probably around an 11. 7 birdies and an eagle for a 61. We tied for 1st and apparently we won, but later on they checked and said we actually finished second. Oh well, I still got to keep the prize money. It was only $30, but the tournament was for a really good cause so 18 holes, a cart, prime rib, and some happy children on Christmas Day for $85.

Temp today was right around 40˚. I walked 18 from 3:30pm to 6:30. No one else played the course all day. I was bombing drives down the middle all day. chipping was deadly - holed out for 3 on the 9th (par 5) and hit the pin in 3 on 15 (par 4).

Shot 75 (one eagle, one birdie).

As I walked I'd jump in the HIGH rough from time to time - with the temps getting lower the thick rough is thinning out and there are balls everywhere!!!

Today and yesterday (similar conditions - course almost empty) I picked up 23 Pro V1/V1x, and a few other premium balls. I left everything else I saw.

    • Starting over - missed posting yesterday and it had been less than 28 days since last off day….today was tempo drill day.  Worked on takeaway and moving smoothly into weight shift.  
    • I know it is probably dependent on a lot of factors, but how windy does it have to be out before you need to start guessing on how much it would influence the break of your putt?  When I played at Bandon, it was like 25-30 mph winds. The caddies talked about the wind negating break. The only time I had it visually influence my putt was on hole 18 at Bandon Dunes. My missed my putt on the high side of a pretty severe breaking putt. The slope around the hole was in the 2-3 degree range. As the ball was about to come to a stop, the wind gusted and pushed the ball half a rotation into the cup.  The rest of the week I thought it had no influence at all. I was thinking, is it just over thinking to try to account for the wind?   
    • Day 310 - 2025-08-06 Went downtown in the late afternoon and got nearly two hours of work in. Not a ton of breaks. Was blasting the TS at the end, from a HomePod and two TVs. 😄 
    • I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.
    • So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact.
