Shot a +4 76 today. What a beautiful day, temps around 70 degrees and I wore shorts. Going to be low 70's all week. Mother nature is giving us a much deserved break after snow last week. Hopefully an early spring is in the making.

I went out for the first round of the year, today. I played 9 holes, par 36, and had a 13 over 49. About average for me, last summer. I actually hit the ball really, really well all day, I just couldn't get away from the 3 putts. Once I get comfortable on the green again, I expect my scores to start dropping.

Played match-play against my mate as a warm up for our pennant game on Sunday. I got him 1UP on the last, and pocketed $1. How sweet a victory. 83OTS, 33 putts (par70).

+1 on a 9-hole par 3. Getting fit for a 36-hole jaunt first of March in Vallejo. Starting to trust my grip changes and really working with the putter.

I shot 88 today  (6418, 69.6, 116) which is pretty good for me.  But I only hit 5 fairways, 5 greens and had 5 saves and 36 putts (that sucks with 5 three putts).  But it does tell me where I need to work some.  CU on the putting green.

Up early for a maybe/maybe not game. Constant rain was a challenge. As I was the only one who rocked up I played the back nine alone.

43, par 37 (-1 nett) 13 putts. 1 fairway (rebound off a tree) and 0 GIR.

A good warm up for pennant on Sunday (apparently we will be getting plenty of rain)

If I can hit a few greens, I reckon I'll go alright.

I know a lot of people wont be impressed, but considering ive been playing for only two years now… I HAD MY BEST ROUND EVER!! Shot an 84 at my home course (which is still a really hard course). I have yet to break 90 there… So Im pretty stoked today!!

I shot a 78 today at Skylinks in Long Beach, a 38 on the front and 40 on the back.I went bogey, double bogey on 17 and 18. Overall it was a good round with a lot of pars

and an eagle on 15. There were just a few putts i should have dropped, but i have to say the putting is looking a little better

Tale of two nines -- 43 and 37 for an 80 (+8). Damn stupid game. First round out of the 70s this year. Felt a bit glum about it until it occurred to me that I only broke 80 for the first time last September. Decided instead to just be happy that progress has been made.

Played a birthday round yesterday, happened to be my first round of the year, shot 45/45, par 70. Didn't play the greatest, left a lot of putts out there, but really need to get my short game and iron play back in the groove!

Still trying to find my swing!

Today was alot better shot 73 +1 (3 birdies, 2 doubles, 13 pars).  I hit 8/14 fairways, 15/18 greens, totaled 32 putts, not so good in the putting category but it is my second round and the greens were slower than usual.  I thought I would have met one of my 2011 goals in just my second round (shooting par).  There might be an asterik behind this one though as the conditions were PCP because of all of the melting snow.  I left 4 birdie putts an inch short, literally an inch, I was so mad at myself.  If those were to fall I would have been under, or if I would have gotten rid of the two double bogeys on 9 and 18.

Shot 79 today at Legion Memorial in Everett, Wa, a course I'd never even seen before.

I hadn't played since early December due to weather, moving and starting a new job.

40* and 10-15 mph wind. I scored well, but only hit a few good shots, didn't spray the driver, and had 12 putts on the front, with only 2 GIR. Iron game was way off.

Shot 78 at Marty Sanchez Links de Santa Fe today. First round of the season. Hit the ball so well, missed 2 Fairways and 4 Greens. Putting seemed to be where i was rusty. Winter golf sucks, i hate the cold and the dead greens. I turned 15 foot birdie putts into bogeys at least 6 times.

Shot an ugly 99 yesterday at River Ridge (6274, 69.9, 128).  It was really windy, gusts to 39 and sustained over 20.  It really wreaked havoc off the tee especially.  On one par five, the wind was behind us and my drive split the fairway and went 340 yds, leaving me 155 to the green (made birdie).  On another hole, against the wind, I was lucky to get the ball 200 yds, and you can imagine what happened after that.  Very frustrating round.

    • 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.
