Right now golf seems so simple and easy...

Had a decent day today. Shot a 77. 40 on the front, 37 on the back.

Par 3 that you have to hit into the wind over water, I hit it a little chubby and it landed about 2 feet from the edge in the water. Chipped up and 2 putted :/

And I had 2 three putts :( (40+ ft)

4pars 3 bogeys 1 double 1 birdie on the front.
6pars 2 bogeys and a birdie on the back.

From the blue tees (6876 yards 71.9/127) an 82 for a differential of 9.0, 43/39, 9 FW, 8 GIR, 30 putts. 2 birdies, 8 pars, 5 bogies, 2 double and a triple. Only the second time I have had a sub 40 score for nine holes.

I was 4 over through 13 holes. Figured the 14th, a par 5 would be my last since it was getting dark. Couldn't even see if my 100 yard 3rd shot was on the green. It was 15-20 ft and made the putt. Played the next three holes 2 over in the dark for a 77.

My cart partner had a GPS app on his cell phone and gave me a bad yardage on another par 5. Should have par it at worst, but took a bogey.

4 fairways, 9 GIR, and 31 putts

Shot 45 on 9 holes (par 35, differential=11.8). Best score ever. Kept everything to double-bogey or better, finally. Started with a double, but it was a very narrowly missed bogey. Then went par-bogey-bogey-bogey-birdie which felt awesome. The birdie was on a short uphill par 5. Hit a perfect drive to a bit past the 200-yard marker, then sort of bladed a hybrid. It got a few feet off the ground and ended up flying just off the ground on exactly the fade arc I pictured, just right along the ground. Found it in the fringe at the front of the green---it'd have been perfect if I'd just stayed down into it. Still pitched it across the long green to 2 feet, almost putting it in for eagle, then made the tricky steeply-banked putt for birdie.

Ball striking was rather bad. Hit about 3 of those blade-hybrids, and my 7 iron (all 3 par 3s) was not working. Tee shots were good, including a nice 3W with a club that usually gives me trouble. My intense short game practice really paid off with only one poor pitch, and my new putter sunk a couple long ones and only had 15 putts. All in all, this is the sort of round I've known I have in me: a good score without having to hit perfectly. Had a couple of really good recoveries to make bogey saves, so it was really rewarding.

In the bag:

    • 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.
