What'd You Shoot Today?

[soloredd]

99 (ESC) at The Crossings at Carlsbad last week. Great course, I love courses that have a spread out hole design (and not the bunched up stuff mostly around here). I honestly didn't play too bad but I had several killer blow up holes.

One was #8 530 yard par 5. I absolutely piped my driver from a slightly elevated tee position and got a ton of roll out. This is where I shot myself. Buddy I was playing with told me I had to go for it in two and I fought it for a minute or two. GPS on cart told me 190 to pin, 170 to carry water. Having played my normal conservative round to this point, I said "screw it, I'm on vacation" and pulled my 5 iron (I would have laid up down the left side, avoiding the water and had a easy pitch shot). Of course, I swung too hard and hit it fat, about 165, into water. Decided to drop at same spot for my 4th and this time went with 6 iron, my 175 club. I pushed it a touch to the right but my friend thought for sure it would make it but I told him "nope, it's in again". This time I dropped behind the hazard for a wedge for my 6th. Ball ended up off the green, had to chip for my 7th, and then 2-putted out. Finished +10 for front and a dreadful +17 on back.

I played 54 holes yesterday.
League 9 today. Shot 37. Last day of league - regular season. I think I finished in 2nd place.

84 (41/43) with 3 birdies on the card. Left about 5 shots on the course. So close to breakin 80.

86, really crappy day all around.

91 at my home course, 47/44. Putting flat out sucked.

Struggled with my approach shots the entire round. I still have not figured out how to play in the wind. Shot a 42 on the front, 43 on the back for an 85.

Today I shot 89... Not great; last week I played just 9 on the same course and shot 36 but the greens were as soft as butter and were holding everything. Today, hot and fast. That is my 3rd consecutive round in the 80's and I'm happy as can be.

I play a par 67 course and in my only two previous rounds this year a rusty 85 and then a somewhat better 81.

Yesterday only played 9 holes par 34 and came out of it with a 37. Just a shame that we weren't playing a full 18 because there was just a chance, a small chance of breaking 70.

I just played on Tuesday, shot a 107, but it was at a new course, i joined Penn Oaks Golf Club, slope of the white tees is 132, 6307 yards, and I have only played 18 holes one other time in the past 4-5 years, once I get out there more my score will come down, too many stupid mistakes. I may be going out this weekend to a shorter public course with my brother, around 5800 yards, so I hope to do much better.

Played a sunrise round this morning. Started with a quad.

Headed into short par 4 #18, needed a birdie to break 90 for the first time, 10 rounds and almost 2 months after breaking 100 for the first time.

Tee shot was about 25 yards short of the green. Hit my 58* 18 feet left of the flag. Lined up the birdie putt and told myself I wasn't going to leave it short. Hit it and cringed, too hard...but then it hit the back of the cup dead center and dropped for the birdie. Woot!

I shot a 92 at hidden valley on Tuesday. Which for me isn't too bad considering I sliced my driver more than usual.

96 this afternoon at Teal Bend in Sacramento. Slowest round I have played in a long time. Hard to get into any rhythm when you get up to a tee and have to wait nearly 15 minutes to hit on every hole.....

Yesterday I shot an 89 at Morro Bay Golf Course, with a birdie on 18 to break 90. Today I followed that up with an 88 at Dairy Creek Golf Course (haven't played here since when I started playing golf 2 years ago on my HS team)... Even though it was only one stroke better than yesterday's round, today's really set me up to play better golf now.

I finally have decided to leave the driver at home after today. I drove the ball 3 times, one a 150 mega hook, a 250 dead straight drive, and a top that rolled maybe 50 yards into the left rough.

Meanwhile on the other 12 holes I used my 3 Hybrid. What a complete difference. Worst tee shot was due to a bad kick, 220 into the right rough. The rest were a consistent 210-220 straight or slightly off line. Only two shots didn't land in the fairway. Considering I play from the beginner male tees, 200+ yard shots leave me no more than SW to 8i on almost all holes and the par 5s are still reachable in 2 with two solid 3Hs.

Only a few chunks, no penalty strokes, one 3 putt, and a few lip out pars were the minor mistakes. My approach game was the major disappointment. I couldn't get any shot from 15-40 yds within 10 feet of the hole, which killed a lot of my par chances and ruined 3 birdie attempts.

Overall though this was a big step forward in my golf game. I was finally able to swallow my pride and take a consistent and safe 220 yard 3H, instead of god knows what with the driver. I could have gone much lower at Morro Bay with the 3H, since Dairy Creek is a much harder course both in actual difficulty and the psychological stuff it puts you through. 2 strokes off my handicap in two days!
