-1 under for the day. it could've been -3 BUT I bogied 1 hole I ALWAYS bogey no matter what I do off of the box..and bogied the 16 trying to play conservatively with the 17th being an easy par 4 scoring hole that's driveable and a pretty good 18th that I play at par....
At least I've broken par twice in the past 2 weeks!

Shot a 90 at Rogers Park in Tampa. Course was in terrific shape....great greens. Played for $10 with some of my golf buddies.

Chipped in from 15 yards off the green for a Birdie.........and putted in from 2 feet off green for a Par....Lost 3 balls....that's what hurt my score......3 penalties.....Yikes!

Even par 36 last night. I WAS 3 under standing in the middle of the fairway on #7 which is an easy par 5. 227 out and have my 3 hybrid in my hand. I figured this was going to be a 32 or even 31 with two birdie-able par 4s to end. Hit the worst shot I have hit all summer with the hybrid...pushed it right...hits a tree next to the green and bounces OB. I make 7. Pissed on the next hole...3 putt from 20 feet and par the last for a 36. Oh what could have been.

I played my 9-hole par 3 course yesterday. It was the first time I got to play golf in the summer since 2008. I missed 2009 (april to november) with a back injury. I missed all of June and most of July with an abdominal injury. I'm very injury prone I guess.

Anyway, I played pretty well. I shot a +7 which is just one stroke worse than my career low on this par-3 course. I got all 9 tee shots airborne and in the general direction of the hole. One went OB, but just barely, and it was really an alignment problem there more than anything else.

It was hot out, so my distances were great. I was hitting my 6-iron about 165 or so, which ain't too shabby for me.

I still have a lot of scar tissue so my movement isn't at 100%, but all in all, it was a very positive first round back. If I can manage to stay healthy, I'm going to give my driver its due practice at the range. I feel as if its the only club holding me back from going to play at a full length course.

Then, my plan is to play 18 holes, something I have not done since April of 2009. It's been a while. If you're reading this, consider yourself very lucky that your body allows you to play! It's really a blessing.

I shot a 95 from the blues at my home course, but in a blistering heat. Not to mention a Sh$$$ swing, but I had to play with what I had. i had to put the driver away and hit a 4 iron on most holes. Over all I tried to keep a good mental attitude.

Shot a 94 at the Reserve at Spanos Park in Stockton, CA. My goal was to break 90 today but par 3's are my worst nightmare right now.....I tripled three of them and doubled the other one Not sure what's going on, just need to settle down and swing the club I guess.

85 at my home course. My first good showing in a home tournament. Worth a 13.9 differential on my score, and a likely handicap adjustment for Thursday's away tournament. =)

82 (43 & 39) at 70.8/131 rated course. Could not make a putt to save my life today. Had about 8 putts within 5 feet and made only one of those. Now I know how Tiger feels...

    • 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. 
    • Yeah I have taken lessons. I also got clubs fitted in like 2011 ish. My driver and wedges aren't from that set though.    1. I'm just not sure why I can't seem to get the face back to square. I don't have that problem with my other clubs. Sure the longer ones a miss tends to be a slice, but I don't need to make a grip change to only sometimes hit the ball reasonably straight.   2. I think there is a bit of inaccuracy there. The number I have in my head is like 195 for my 5 iron. 4 iron also definitely has more variance than all my other irons, but 210ish is about right for non mishits.
