One to forget. 85. Very cold down here in NZ this week, couldn't keep my hands warm. Oh well, sun came out this afternoon so better luck tomorrow.

Terrible round of 88 on Saturday with 3 triples and 2 doubles. I hit 5 fairways and 3 greens.  4 of the strokes came from 2 balls squirted right OB, each from the fairway.  Not my worst score of the year, but felt like my worst round.

i played a nice round this morning at my local course, only played 9 holes shot a 41 on par 36, thats about what i usually shoot

+11 in some scorching heat.  +8 on the front, couldn't chip or putt to save my life.  +3 on the back, made a 55 foot birdie putt, and a bogey on 17 and 18 ended the round on a flat note.  Putted much better on the back 9.

+1 72 yesterday in heat, humidity, rain, wind, everything. 0 for 4 on up and downs and 33 putts, but 14 of 18 greens and 11 of 13 fairways keep me afloat. 5 bogeys and 4 birdies total. http://jamo1358.webs.com/rounds/20110718-p42.html

Had an abysmal +7 for 9 holes thanks to a triple and double.  Made two birdies going for the green on short par-4s though.

shot an 89 yesterday at my home course from the blues...should lower my handicap a few spots! It is amazing how much better you feel when you shot 89 and not 90! Even though its only one stroke! I have a tournament today at the same course so wish me luck!! heres to an 86! (hopefully)

I shot an 84 yesterday at Babe Zaharais in Tampa.

Interestingly enough, I also shot an 84 yesterday at the Florida State University course.  Felt very rushed for the first 3-4 holes because everyone tries to get out at the same time for the twilight rate, so we had people behind us on our ass and people infront of us playing at a pace that seemed excessively slow due to the pressure from the group behind.

Anyways, how's this for a rollercoaster round...

...47 (+11) on the front nine and 37 (+1) on the back nine for a smooth little 84.

Coming from a guy that generally shoots around 78-82, this was a little uncharacteristic of me, but I'll take finishing strong over the alternative.

76 in a tournament, but short set up.  Rarely hit driver.  I'll take it anyway.  99 degrees.  Survival.

Snuck out for 18 this afternoon.  I played from the tips in preparation for our club championship and shot a 92.  Funny thing was, it had little to do with the longer distance (about 600 yards longer).  It was really thanks to hitting four bunkers and poor putting.  The sand at our course SUCKS to put it mildly.  About 1/4" deep and hard, I just can't figure out how to play them.  I never thought I'd miss the beautiful soft sand of Florida, but I certainly would rather have that now.

Shot a 79 last week at Cedars in Vancouver, WA.  The track is kinda funky, but I was in the area and managed to squeeze in a round.  The front nine wasn't too much to talk about, 1 birdie and some average and a few better than average shots.  The back nine I started knocking pins down, the 2 guys I was playing with couldn't believe it, every shot was going right where I was aiming.  I had 3 lip outs (greens were a bit bumpy).  Last shot on #18 was from 130 yds, slightly uphill on a slight left/right lie.  I aimed 15 feet left of the pin and it drifted right and spun right past the hole leaving a 2-foot tap-in for birdie on the last hole.  Hit one shot into the water on the back nine, ball slightly below my feet.  I dropped again at the same place and corrected my aim/stance and hit a 160-yd shot to 10 ft to save bogey.  Also hit a drive in the water on the front nine and stuck a 7-iron from 155yds uphill dead-on the pin, but 15 feet past the hole.  Made the putt though to save par, that jump-started the round a bit.

Best iron-striking day I've had the entire summer, can't wait to get out there again! :-)

81 today, should have been 78-79, too many 3 putts.

[JetFan1983]

86 today at the ol' home course from the whites. Left a lot out there unfortunately. Not sure if the 100 degree weather cost me something today too. Possibly.

I'm clearly improving though. Summary of today:

Decent driver. Not good enough though yet. I need to maintain my side-tilt to hit em straight as arrows. If not, i get a poor overdraw that sometimes puts me in real bad spots.

Good irons but not where I want to be yet. I'm not hitting my wedges nearly close enough to the hole. Too many 40 and 50 footers after a 70-100 yard approach.

Decent short game, but not there yet. 1 for 1 out of the bunker today. I feel like a 10 index from the sand traps now. Big improvement here just after a few days of work.

Poor speed with the putter all day long despite a 20 footer for birdie I made and some nice par saves. Still this club and my driver cost me the most strokes. Could've been a 78 if I was just slightly more experienced out there.

86 seems typical now and around this score has been a bit of a barrier. But any day now, I can really feel its coming.

66 in the heat yesterday. It was a good round.

[jshots]

+2 on 9 holes, didn't even break a sweat :D
