5 over for 9 holes thanks to a snowman on one of them. Not to complain, but I think it's a badly designed hole. It's a short, dogleg left par 4 uphill that penalizes a slight draw off the tee to the middle of the fairway, but rewards a huge banana slice to the right of the cart path.

I'm at a bit of a loss after today's round.

I played 18 at a tough, long local course and had my best driving day of the year, hitting it very high and long (for me) at about 255.

I hit my irons very well, including a ripped high 4-iron on a long par 3 to about 12 feet.

I chipped decently.

I was in three bunkers and hit 3 very good bunker shots.

I had no blow up holes and no penalty strokes.

And I shot 87.

I certainly could have made a few more putts, but the most strokes I may have left out there is 4 or 5 tops.

Just didn't feel like I could have played much better, but the score wasn't there.

91 at TPC Deere Run. Left a lot of shots on the course, but what a gem of a course it is.

Even par through 9 is my best.  I don't even want to think about what was my worst.

I shot a 90 this morning, then I shot a 76 this aftern00n.......the same course!
This is my best ever since moving to Florida in 1987.

41/35 = 76

Even Par on the Back nine....started out with a double bogey on 10, then 2 Birdies back to back, followed later by a 3rd Birdie.

The guys I played with said I had a Reverse McIroy!

First time ever I shot over 100...Shot 43 on the front and thought I played bad but after a 61 on the back I guess I was wrong! Anyone else playing 6 hour rounds??? We waited on every shot on the back, yes every shot!

I finally broke 90 and shot an 87 from the tips at Olmos Basin Municipal GC here in San Antonio. I have to give credit to Dr. Bob Rottellas' book, and all his wisdom. His approach to the mental game has given me the edge to play the golf I always knew I could.

Rough past 2 days... its been hot, so I've only played 9 holes on each day.

Back to back 49's.

On Friday, my putting was atrocious (not an exaggeration) and really struggled to hit any decent approach shots. My pitching was pretty solid, which saved my ass more than a couple of times.

On Saturday, my approach shots were mediocre, my chipping bailed me out, my putting reverted back to normal (which is to say, didn't three putt and left myself short putts on anything over 15')

I've really struggled off the tee the past 2 days.

And just hit some absolutely crap shots.....

While I am not happy posting back to back 49's, I also realize the rounds easily could have been 3-4 strokes worth if it wasn't for some timely pitches, holing putts when I absolutely needed them, and a couple of creative solutions to some errant tee shots.

Hopefully, today, I get back on track.

95 with 52 on the front and 43 on the back...

We got to the course about 2 minutes after our scheduled tee time, rushed to the tee box and proceeded to play a terrible front 9. Plus the cart girl never made it to us, so no drink to settle the nerves. Went in to the clubhouse at the turn and got some food in our bellies, a jack & coke to settle me down, and cooled off a little. Went back out and shot one of my better 9's (with the exception of a triple on one of the par 3's).

Even par through 9 is my best.  I don't even want to think about what was my worst.

Shot a 78 on a Par 3 course. 43 going out and 35 coming in. Tough course, fairways like concrete and greens rough and slow. I'm happy with the score. Every time I go out, I seem to get a little better.

    • 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.
