Played 9 holes this morning.  Just didn't strike the ball too well.  Shot shape was a little more draw than normal and irons were a little off the toe.  Tee shots seemed fine.  Shot +1 through 8 and then tripled #9 for a +4.  Coming off a birdie on 8 and tripled it.  Worst tee shot of my life.  I was trying to get my left shoulder under my chin a little more thinking it was opening up too quickly causing the toe shots.  Instead it jacked with my rhythm and I really don't know what happened next except that I hit mostly ground not behind but beside the ball close to me and the ball went forward and to the right about 20 feet away.  I went from striking it like a 10 handicapper to striking it like a 40 handicapper there.  Redlined the rest of the way home.  Cool down and collect...

I shot a 87 for my par but couldve easily got it down to about 82 if I could putt normally. Putted like I was on drugs or something. Shaped up a bit for the last 4 holes but man, not a good day of putting!

Shot a 99 on my home course. Personal best on my home course, second best to a 94 on another course. Hit the ball well for me today, was hitting my low irons fantastically ( not usual for me ) only thing that was letting me down was my short game. God knows how many putts I had, couple hours on the putting greens tomorow I reckon.

42(+7) yesterday at Mill Creek. Played really bad but didn't score too bad. Only had 13 putts!...but still shot a 42. Any other day with that putting and it could've easily been a 37, 38, or 39. I somehow managed to double the first hole and I was 145 out right down the middle. Should've been an easy par. UGH!

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

1) The Fairways at Arrowhead

2) Mayfair Country Club

Shot a +1 73 today!!!  My best this year.  +2 on front, -1 on back (and the back is a lot harder than the front...go figure).  Had 3 birdies, a double bogey, and 2 bogeys, rest pars.  26 putts.  Lipped out 2 chips and 3 putts, but hey, had several putts that went in that probably shouldn't have so those things kind of even out over the course of a round.

I switched back to my old blade irons and it took me several rounds to really adjust, but now that I have I'm really liking them again.  They've helped my ball striking tremendously.

The most difficult distance in golf is the six inches between your ears.

I played Ledges country club today and shot a a 90.Not my best but not my worst,didn't set my self up off of the tee today.This course is a target course and i played it aggressively which didnt help me at all today, I have to learn when it is ok to hit driver and when i should hit hybrids or long irons off of the tee. My putting and chipping really helped me today cause i felt like i was playing defensive golf today. Playing again on sun so will try to play the course a little different .

Went and played at my local 9 hole course today. (2 rounds) shot a personal best of 86. Took me 4 months to get there! I just want to improve improve improve! Had 35 putts though ;(

played 9 holes today, shot a 43.

8 holes were very good for me (1 birdie, 2 bogies), the other one not so much (a 11 on a par 5...).

Other than the one blowup hole I really hit my irons very solid all day. On the 8th and 9th hole I teed of with a 4 iron, hit it extremly pure on those two shots

81 (+9), 42-39, 30 putts

Horrible driving day, never really got off the tee well, but i finished strong with 7 straight pars.

Blew up today with a 100 on a par 72.  My long game is struggling to the point that even my decent short game cannot make up for it.  Haven't done that badly in a long time.  Only had one par all day, everything else was a bogey or double bogey because of not making the greens in regulation.  I think the number one reason I "blow up" is I always feel rushed and thus swing too hot and heavy.  When I just slow down and improve my tempo, everything goes well.  Giant disconnect between body and mind and it is frustrating!

76 (37 + 39 - from the blue tees) on the local par-70 Muni.

Very pleased since this is my best score ever!

It was the first day for the Fall aeration, so we couldn't play the front nine - played the back nine twice.  (Nice because it is slightly longer, and also because the greens hadn't been aerated yet.)

Anyway, the stats:

_______  /emoticons/biggrin.png"> nothing worse than a double! (that's good for me)

1 double

6 bogeys

9 pars

2 birdies

5 fairways

6 GIR

No penalties

28 putts

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
