Today I posted an 86 at Green Valley Golf Club in Denver Colorado.  Not close to my best round of 78 but I did however do something that has eluded me for 10 years.  I posted my first ever EAGLE!!!  I have had countless birdies but for some strange reason eagle has always been out of reach.  Hole #4 tee shot with a 7 iron.  Then pulled a 60 degree wedge (vokey) had a 60 foot pitch that I tried to kill on the front of the green and the ball did just as I had asked it to.  1 hop and nothing but net.  I was in such shock that it took me a couple seconds to figure out that I had just done what had previously been impossible.  Temperature at tee time 36 degrees outside.  Now I only wish that I wasn't playing with an orange Bridgestone e6 because it looks like crap on my display case, but with snow still on the fairways and bunkers a bright orange ball is vital those white balls are hard to find in the white stuff!!!!!!!!!

79 with 3 double bogies and 2 birdies. Was on the green or fringe of 11 greens and only had 27 putts (putting from fringe doesn't count as a putt). Front nine I had 10 putts which was a new low for me.

Carded 45 on the back nine at Moody Gardens GC here in Galveston. Was shaky for the 1st 4 holes... started coming on strong later... Ran out of time (Tee'ed off at 3pm CST) and didnt finish the round.

One of the most embarrassing rounds of golf I've experienced in a long time.  Six three putts.  40 putts total.

It was the first time I've played this course, which is an hour + away from my place.  And I really wasn't too excited to play it considering it was a haul to the course, and the forecast called for rain all day.  But I needed to get a practice round in before a tournament next weekend that I'm scheduled to play.

We had an 8 AM tee time... I pulled into the course a 7:45.  I walked onto the first tee without hitting a ball or rolling a putt... And it took me some time to get comfortable rolling the rock on wet greens (It's rained the last 3 days).  But even when I finally got the speeds of the greens figured out, and started using my Aimpoint charts... I still couldn't make a bird or par save from over 5ft.  The longest putt I made all day was a 3' putt.  Makes me sick... I burned so many edges, and nothing was falling.  I was ice cold.  I just hope that I can get it figured out before next weekend!?!

Argh! I friggin' hate this game. Played a fantastic practice round yesterday - shot a 77 - for my tournament today. Felt great all day, figured my swing changes are really starting to sink in and I'm ready to go to the next level, and am really confident for my tournament. On top of that I feel really good during warming up AND driving in I noticed they did not move the pins today. Everything's in place for me. And then I go out and shoot a freaking 90 and finish in last place. The bright side is that it was all on 5 holes. (4 triples and a double - otherwise 4 over par on the other 13 holes). The other bright side is that I drove the ball well today (usually the cause for my poor rounds). If you count the first cut, I hit 11 of 14 fairways. The REALLY bright side ... I carded an eagle today! Par 5, decent drive into right rough (only in name ... lie was as nice as if in the fairway) Leaving myself 215 to the pin, big bunker directly in front of me so its a blind shot, except there's a power pole in the distance perfectly in line with my target. Hit a perfect 4 iron to about 20 feet. Putt was in the whole way ... very nice feeling on an otherwise doodoo day. It helped that I birdied this hole yesterday from almost the exact same line from 30 feet. :)

Shot a 91 today at Riverbend GC in Madera.  Got 8 pars today.  Putted and chipped great. Driver wasn't working well, but all of the other clubs were.  Had only one bad hole, where it took me 5 shots to reach the green from 100 yards out.  Hope all of this good golf continues.

First round under ever. Shot a 99 with sopping wet course and overseeded Rye greens that roll like rumble strips literally!!! Temps were 28* when I teed off and only reached 40* by end of the game. My drives were incredible (for me) for the 1st time ever due to a lot of TV practice. 270 yds and straight until #15 and I started topping/hooking like it was my goal in life. An honest 99.

I put Adams and PING in my OGIO Recoil bag. I'm shooting for the low 90's by summer 13'

Holy crap......................I kept score for the first in 2013!!!!   LOL.....................oh my

I played the easy FRONT tees.....(ok, not really that easy)...but I didn't play the tips.  I played 1 set forward.....73.2CR 141slope...............it was freaking MFKN cold and windy, and I honestly played pretty good with all things considered!!  It was cold and nasty....................thre wind was howling!!

A traditional par 72 course....... I had four 3-putts.........the greens are very fast even if for winter greens.  My new home course greens have big slopes...so I need to learn to putt.   Overall....I played OK, but the greens are a huge challenge.

37-43=80

I played the course well....the greens beat me to a pulp. I have a membership.......so I will defeat this course!!!!!!!!!!.....(in due time)...LOL

Third time out in 2013 but first time to complete 9 holes. Every other time the course was open and I had time I bailed after 3 holes due to too much snow and other bad conditions. Anyway it was rough but I managed 42 before calling it a day. It was also the first time I played the irons I used so there were a few WTF moments. Made a few pars, a birdie, 2 real ugly double bogies and my usual string of bogies that could have been prevented. Should have played yesterday, best weather of the year, but didn't feel right.

Heritage Club in Pawleys Island, SC

48-40 for an 88.

First time I have ever played this course, heavy fog for the first 5 holes...made it impossible to see more than 100 yards in front of you.

Great layout.  Great condition.  Can't wait to try the course again.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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?
