Limped in with a 79 yesterday.  Only 10 fairways and 8 greens.  Pulled nearly everything just a touch.  Back hurts and really sore today...

Had 40 points yesterday. Was even par with 2 to play. Finished 4 over after picking up on the 17th with a shot in hand (dumbass) and a piss weak bogey on the last. Actually, Im still trying to figure out how I got the score I had. Ball striking was shocking. Pro-Am in a week, so its back to the range to sort those irons out.

A gross 80, 8 over, and played like a dog. Must have left my brains at home, e.g. 165yds from the middle of the fairway into a stiff breeze. I changed the 5 iron for a 6, or so I thought. WOW! Straight over the back. Er, mmm that 6 I thought I'd pulled out turned out to be a 4. There were several other examples of muppetry. Nailed a drvie across a dogleg to 135yds. I hit a strong 9 straight at the flag but for some reason hadn't taken into account the croasswind - a miss into the lefthand bunker.

I played like a baby elephant on steriods.

Shot friggin' 100 yesterday.  I'm going backwards in my game.  The course seeded a couple of weeks ago for the winter grass and they have not been cutting it, so the greens are slow and the fairways are thick.  I could have shaved 10 strokes off my score if I had not been so damn afraid of hitting the ball too hard while putting (usually the greens are rather fast).

Swing is generally good, thinking I need to take a break until my mind clears up (too much going on...it's a mess!).

Two under yesterday, three over today. Home course. Am playing the new KBS C-Tapers and love 'em! But I think walking two days back-to-back in 90+ heat is getting too much for me. A little sore this afternoon...  :)

shot 30 points on the hardest course i've played since starting again, scratched 2 holes on the green with horrible 3 puts after some nice approach's.. need to scored a little better to be properly happy but it'll do for now

39+41 for an 80 (par 71). My driving was on today. Iron play was solid...around the green hurt me a bit. Couple really poor pitch shots and tricky greens (slow as molasses one hole, to like playing on ice on others). Played mostly par golf, 1 birdie, 2 doubles, and a couple bogeys. Tragedy struck on the 11th hole though...brand new 5 wood, cracked. Only been in play for 4 or 5 rounds.

We had our "Last Chance" tournament on Saturday. It was a shotgun start and we drew the par 5 #4. It's the farthest start from the clubhouse, the tightest driving hole, and it was the "men's long drive" hole. My drive was long, but found the rough. Everyone else was short off the tee, but also in the rough, so our group didn't get a single name on the card. I three-putted for par and actually almost 4-putted. Didn't make a lot of putts when it counted for birdie, but was chipping close enough to make par putts. Thought I'd got it into cruising gear (par mode) after parring 6 out of 7 holes, until the par 5 18th. It's a birdie hole all the way, but a couple distractions led me to overswing and yank the ball into the next fairway. After creek and tree trouble, I sank a 12 footer for double bogey. Then finished bogey (club selection), par (lip out), bogey (drive through fairway - pitched out). 4 over on my last 4 holes . . . grrrrr. Total score? Same as always (or at least is seems that way). 80

79!!!! Broke 80 for the first time today.

I hit the ball a little better than average for me, and hit a couple wedges close. The real key was that my scrambling was sensational. I one putted 7 greens, and chipped in for birdie on one hole.

Stats: 68.8/122

Shot 79 (+7).......42/37 4/14 FW and 6 GIR. 27 putts. 3 birdies, 8 pars, 4 bogies, and 3 doubles.

VERY WINDY day today. Didn't help that the course I was playing didn't have many trees to stop/slow it down. I putted really well today, a lot better than yesterday. But didn't drive the ball as well...I started off strong, was only +2 through the first 7, but things started to go down hill then...

89 (44/45) @ TPC Harding Park. First time playing there, great course. The rough was super tough as the Champions Tour is playing the Schwab Cup here in a couple weeks. Last time I saw rough like that was Torrey Pines about two months before the Buick. Still, had an awesome time and played decently. Greens were recently sanded so my putting was terrible - the greens were a lot slower than I was expecting and I never got used to them.

Shot a dismal 120. Made two pars (came 2 inches within my first birdie). So that can tell you I pretty much shot high numbers on all the other holes. :/

Pretty miserable 92 today. Bit of wind but its a fairly straight forward par 70 course (6040 yards). Started off by making a green in regulation on the first and 3 putting and it never really improved. Couldnt hit a fairway to save my life and missed 3 or 4 very simple putts. 2 pars, 11 bogeys, 4 doubles and a triple. 5 fairways, 2 greens in regulation and 33 putts, horrible stats.

Shot a 43 on my home course front 9.  I would normally be disappointed a little but it was a 20+ mph westerly wind.  I golfed in the wind purposely to learn how to chose clubs in the wind and how it affects ball flight.  I can't always pick wind free days to play when it counts so I needed more practice.  What was alarming during this round was how much the wind affected the ball on the green.  During one healthy gust the ball rolled toward the cup as I was walking onto the green.  I had never seen that before....

    • Akshay Bhatia beat him in a playoff last year I think. He went something like -7 on his last 7 holes to get into a playoff and then rinsed a wedge on the 1st extra hole in a way that would have made Tommy (and Rory) blush.
    • Tristan, did you end up getting the new Edel wedges?  I'm very about due for new wedges.  I was trying other configurations a few years ago and somehow my 54 and 58 are both hand-me-downs that I never got around to getting as new and fitted, and my last new-as-in-new wedges were Ping Glides a long time ago.  I was thinking of Edel wedges earlier today, although their website seems to list only two fitters.   Did you end up getting them, and if so, what do you think of them?
    • @colin007, in terms of realistic sci-fi, its the best ever. They actually had an astrophysicist consult on the movie to be as accurate as possible with what we know about the universe.  For like dystopian, Blade Runner is probably king. Action/suspense is probably Alien/Aliens. Though Starship Troopers is fantastic. The Matrix is amazing.  
    • Day 4 (August 14).  Full swing in my indoor practice room;  6-iron, off a mat, into a net.  Focus was on what I believe was my priority piece at last lesson (which, admittedly, was almost three years ago, due to absence).  I hit about a dozen balls this morning before going into the office.  (Also, errata to yesterday:  9 of the 12 coins were picked up on the second or third go around -- you can't pick up one on the first go around for that drill)
    • Watched The Gentlemen, took a little bit to get into it, but very good Guy Ritchie movie.  Collin Farrell and Hugh Grant were great. Give it a birdie.
