What'd You Shoot Today?


Recommended Posts

Sloppy 85 on a pretty easy, short course.  Would have been a lot worse but finally found my swing on 14.  Finished that hole in "par" after first drive OB, then went par,par,birdie,birdie.  The par on 15 was my first of the day!  Ouch.  The birdie putts were 4' and 18".  Yummy.  Of course the good holes were the last ones, because now I can't wait to get back out there.

I had my club championships and played very well I started with a 77 which put me in the lead for a short while at -3 then somebody came in with a nett -6 so I was four back but in the second round I kept calm and shot a 76 to get  to -7 and the rest of the field fell away so I won the nett club champs at the age of 14 :)


Broke 100 for the first time with 98. Got 47 points and lowered my HCP from 32,6 til 27,0 . Borrowed a driver from a friend, with that one i hit fairways and stayed out of most hazards, OB and bunkers (my own driver is from 1995). My Irons felt ok, but not good. My close game is improving and my putting was more 2's than 3's. So i wasn't playing perfect and I lacked nice feeling shots. But the reason I ducked under 100 was that i kept the ball in play. So i didn't need to hunt or play risky to save hcp-par. It's getting better and starting to know my clubs more (third time playing with them and first time with the driver). And the sun was shinig, all in all a good day at the course.

Shot an 89 to get back into the 80s for the first time since I quit playing in high school. And I beat my dad, which is always a plus


Awful. Just genuinely bad. I stopped keeping track after a 45 on the front. I came around on the back, but it still wasn't beautiful at all. Without a score, I'd estimate probably a 40-42. The course was in horrendous shape. The tee boxes had knee high grass in places, the fairway was so unkempt I actually lost balls in them, and the bunkers were packed and had grass growing in them. For $33 a round, I would expect more from a course. All said and done, even a bad day golfing is better than most other things.

In the words of Daniel Bryan....YES!!!YES!!!!YES!!! Finally broke 80 with a 79!!! The only clubs I used were Driver, 3 hybrid, 9 iron, pitching wedge & sand wedge. Extremely happy with the way I had been playing this year!! :)


80 yesterday. Been struggling with my swing and was +8 after 10 but I started hitting safe fades and cuts off the tee and grinding. Carded 8 straight pars to close out the round. Swing is a little off right now but good to know I can grind out a score when not at my best.

43, +8 (32.6/118). I went back to my driver and did well with it. I had two poor drives and the one on #7 was just a shank, would have happened with the 3w just as easily. My doubles/triple were the result of a penalty, a poor layup that required a punch out, and the shank coupled by a 3-putt. That's the difference between a 43 and a sub-40. Ah well, it's coming soon enough. :-)

3 over 39 today with only 4 greens and GIR, no birdies and never really had much of a chance. but good round because I wasn't slicing finally

After a bad tee shot it does not mean the hole is over, it means you have an opportunity to show what you are made of!


42 today (6 over) I had some trouble starting out and could not hit it straight and lost 2 balls. but also had two birdies to help out.

78.  I missed a lot of makeable birdie putts on the front 9.

Then started to get too mechanical with my swing on the back 9.

I was getting frustrated as I was in a 3-some - the 2nd group off in the AM - and we played behind a 5-some the entire day.

A round that should've been wrapped up by 9... Took us until 10 to finish.

Shot 42 (+6, 33.5/125). Started off ugly but managed to turn it around. My birdie on 14 was from about 50 feet, so much for just trying to get it within 3 feet. :-) Like yesterday, another day of a few really stupid mistakes. A shanked tee shot, an awful chip on 2, and a poor showing on 15. Still kind of shocked I managed a 42 given the mistakes.

82 front 42 back 40

par 72 rate 72.6 slope 135 yards 6529

putts 33

fairways 8/14

GIR 8

Feel so close to scoring in the 70's consistent just a few too many 3 putts (three of those) and doubles (two of those) and the three putts and doubles didn't even happen on the same holes, that's 5 strokes lost that would have taken me to 77. Well my golf vacation is almost over work starts back up again in august.


Shot 96 and while that's right within my HC, I feel pretty good about it because I fought my driver & putter all day but gutted it out. I also missed my first hole in one by 4 inches!

my get up and go musta got up and went..

    • Day 11: 2/16/2025 Rince and Repeat: Just like yesterday I spent several 5-10 minute sessions working on what I learned on Friday.   
    • Quick update. So, I got the PXG Secret Weapon and I have to say I like it... mostly. (see below) I spent some time with it on the range and I even gathered some data in doors. I'm not going to post data yet, as my swing is still a bit of a work in progress and I'd like to gather some more data after I settle down a little bit more. But here's my review.  First as a driver replacement. ... IMO it is not a replacement, it's clearly more of a supplement... for me anyway. Not long enough to really replace the driver. For me it's about 20 yards short of my driver. It is longer than my 30-wood off the tee. (15 yards-ish) I will say it is easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. I get some of my best shots teeing it low, but I also get some of my worst. If I tee it about a full inch off the ground I get very consistent shots. Super repeatable. Amazingly repeatable even with my messy swing. Off the tee, I find it draw biased just a bit. You can tinker with the set up if that isn't your personal cup of tea.  As a 3-wood replacement. For me it's about perfect. It's longer than my 3-wood off the deck (my data showed 10 yards longer) and it has a gentle fade to it, which I love. You do need a clean lie, but I never hit my 3-wood off anything but a clean lie anyway. I found it interesting that I hit a gentle fade off the deck and a slight draw off a tee. I'm sure that's not uncommon. Again, you can tinker with the set up to optimize that if you wanted to... I don't want to.  It's clearly a lot longer than my 3-wood off the tee. Easier to hit off the tee than my 3 wood, and off the deck it's also longer. So, it's a no-brainer 3-wood replacement for me. I will say that over the years I've learned to use my 3-wood for this low-flying-100-yard-punch-out-from-under-a-tree shot.  I'll have to see if the Secret Weapon can handle that duty. But it's going in the bag to replace the 3-wood.  I also turned my 5-wood down from 19 degrees to 17 degrees. ... Incidentally my 3-wood had been 16 degrees. I used to always hit my 5 wood and my hybrid about the same distance. This adjustment helps my gapping a bit at the top of the bag. I can clearly hit my 5-wood farther than my hybrid now.  Overall on the PXG Secret Weapon. The good: It's clearly longer and easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. It's a bit longer off the deck than my 3-wood.  It's super forgiving... surprisingly so.  It's uber adjustable. ... Although I do suggest getting fit for it. That will save you having to (or wanting to) buy a weight kit just to try out the infinite number of set ups. The headcover is super cool.  The maybe not so good: Shots out of the middle sound great. Shots off the heal sound great. Shots off the toe sound ... what's the work... clangy? It's very forgiving off the toe and the heal. The flight and the distance are incredibly consistent. But the sound off the toe isn't great.  For me I tend to draw it off the tee and fade it off the deck. You can set it up to be biased either way, but in my hands I think if I set up a draw off the deck, that might induce a duck hook off the tee. ... In fairness that could also be where my swing is at right now.  It's pretty spendy. ... If I really stop and think about it, I paid $450 for a new 3-wood. Granted it's a better performing 3-wood. But for me it's really a 3-wood replacement.
