What'd You Shoot Today?


Recommended Posts

My goal this summer is to play bogey golf or better. I've managed to shoot 90 several times but haven't busted into the 80's yet. I have been playing off the tee much better lately at the range. Took it to the course today and shot 48 on the front. Nothing felt right and I almost skipped the back 9. Decided to play and shot a 41 on the back which is a much more difficult 9.

So 48/41. Finally got into the 80's

Shot an 81 w/ 2 birdies on the Glen Annie golf course in Santa Barbara, CA. Should have been at least 4 shots lower w/ some rushed shots due to a crowded back 9. That and the dog-leg left par 5 that I drove through the fairway and almost into the hazard because I had no idea how much the carry was to the bottom of the hill.

The last round I played I shot 74. The previous round before that I couldn't break 80 so I decided to try a few things and it worked like a charm. Went 38/36 and was pretty pleased except for my putting which could improve a lot.

last round 96 time before that 82. I need to find some consistancy. Thats to big of a gap in just a few days I think

Shot an Even 35...

Started out the day wtih 3 bogeys and played the last 6 holes at 3 under which I was happy about. Plus I played with 3 people I dont normally play with some it was nice to play that well in front of others...

This week I have shot a

39 (+3)
34 (-1)
35 (E)
35 (E)

Pretty happy with my consistency... Now to the weekend I may play some rounds on the par 3 course to save money and work on the short game

By far broke my personal best today. Played Eagle Harbor Golf Club in Fleming Island, Florida. I will preface this post with a notice that I have never broken 80 in my life before. Today I shot a 73. A huge accomplishment for me and gives me some major confidence to become a good player in the very near future. I have been playing for three and half years and have always been an athlete but never a golfer. This is the greatest and worst game at the same time. Because my next time out I will probably shoot a 92....either way it was definately the round of my life....My handicap is calculated by Golfshot Software for the iphone...so i have no idea if its completely accurate but i have shot numerous 80-82's but just never gotten over the hump....threw that in there just so you guys did not think i was BS's yall....

I shot 80 today, but it's probably the best back 9 recover I've had yet.

Started off the front with four straight bogeys, a sand save par on a par five, two more bogeys, and finally a two putt par on number nine (first green I hit all day) for a seven over 43. Then I started the back off with a birdie out of a bunker (drove it about 300 over the corner into a bunker in front of the green, bunker shot to two feet.) Par, Par, Bogey, Bogey, Par, Par, Par for a back nine one over 37.

The difference with the back nine was I figured out that I was swinging too hard and couldn't control anything.

Shot a 6 over on the back 9 of my local "executive" course (par 62 - 31 p/side). 3rd time I have shot this score here and today I beat my brother-in-law for the 1st time ... serves him right for getting me back into this game after all these years.

I was on pace to shoot my lowest score ever last week, until I got to the 16th hole. I sliced my tee shot far right, right into the woods. Then I did it again on my next shot. Ended up with a 9 on that hole and it killed my score and I ended up shooting my high average. Goes to show how a mental lapse on one hole can do you in.

Shot my season best 78 yesterday. Played my local course, Par 71 - 6500 yards. It was my first round with my new Ping i15's..they felt great. I had 31 putts in all which is a miracle for me. Played the 4 par fives in 2 under par and stayed out of trouble off the tee. All in all I'm stoked about it and cant wait to get back onto the putting green to try to get the putts average down even more.

Fairways - 53.8%
GIR - 38.9%

I shat a 92......42 on the front & 50 on the back.....total collapse of my swing......pulling everything left.


I played 9 holes in a twilight league on Thursday- had 2 doubles AND went in the water on #1- but still shot a 42.

On Thursday, I shot an 83 and was pretty unhappy with the round. I went out today with the wife and our 10 year old and shot a 99. Sprayed 5 in the woods off the tee which explains a lot. But I was REALLY happy with my round today even with the crummy score! Two sand saves (leading to one putts from 4' or less) and three other one putts on crummy scoring holes, one from 25'. I did miss a 20' eagle putt, and to make it even worse, I three putted that hole!!!

+2 73 today. Lowest handicap differential ive gotten this year, so far. I think it ended up someplace below a 1.

90.....44/46 5/14 FW, 6 GIR, 34 putts. 1 birdie, 6 pars, 5 bogies, 4 doubles, and 2 triples. Putting was just so so, irons were decent, but the tee shot is killing me. I can't hit a fairway with a 2 hybrid right now. It's tough to score when you hit your 3rd shot from the tee 4 times in a round!

Played yesterday and shot a 50 on the Front nine. I thought, here we go this should get interesting. I ended up shooting a -4 under 32 on the back birding 11, 15, 16, 17, 18. Finish with an 82 which is actually my new lowest round ever. And probably the lowest 9 holes in a long time.

    • Day 237 (26 Dec 24) - played 18 with niece and her husband at one of the local courses.  We were first out - so we pretty had our own pace of play.  First few holes were a struggle, but the groove started by hole 5.  The green side wedge game kicked in - had several kick in up and down pars.  Best of the day - had my first ever sandie birdie on #9. It’s a neat par three with a pot hole bunker - found it off the tee.  Had about a 22yd shot from the bunker to the flag.  Hit an easy shot out with the 54 that hit softly and gently rolled center cup.  Had several other close wedge shots into others that were close but no hole out.  Was a great day with the green side wedge game - and seeing solid fruit from the drills. 
    • Day 16: 12/26/2025 A little more mirror work today. Then out to the garage net.  The first part of my PPJ swing thought is really starting to stick. The J still takes some focus. Plus, I'm still putting a priority on getting all the way to my finish. 
    • Day 87 - 2024-12-26 Practiced for about an hour after doing a bunch of little maintenance things downtown.
