Okay did a 47/44 for a 91 on a blue tee 6328 yd course this AM. I was out doing an A/B on test balls for the #1 name in golf and the test balls hit really well. In fact I could not lose one. I had a really good time doing the comparison until...the group behind me, on the back 9, started to drive at me with no "four"... roughly 8 -10 yds away. these test balls are so good I bounced two of them off their cart top after yelling..."Four"..we had a meeting and discussed the situation. They still hit on me. In ending I do not think that any manufacturer would create a ball that you cannot  lose.

Played a course 6300 yards, rating 69, slope 117, par 72.  I shot an even par 72.  Chipped great today, missed 3 short easy birdie putts.  My lag putting was great today.  I had 3 sand save pars today, one was a 30 yard bunker shot and stuck it 18 inches from the hole.

I had been playing great, then had several weeks of a slump, but I'm pulling out of it now.  I need to dedicate a little more time to the range and practice green just a couple times a week for 30 minutes to really get back to where I was a month ago.  The rain every afternoon the last month has really put a damper on my practice time.

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

Played the very beautiful Oaks Course at Dancing Rabbit in Philadelphia, MS this morning.  Holy cow is that course an awesome looking course.  But it turned out to be quite a hellish day.

White Tees

69.7/129

Score: 105

The whole course was the most amazing playing course I've ever been on.....until we got to the greens.  They had been punched and covered in sand and it was TERRIBLE!!  How can a course charge full price for playing on greens that are completely impossible to putt on?  I would think they would have at least let us know how bad the conditions were!  We were very disappointed as this was a road trip we had been looking forward to for months.  I am positive I would have kept up my under 100 streak I'm on had it not have been for these greens as the rest of my game was very consistent.

I played Sierra Sage Golf Course yesterday and shot my lowest round ever. The course is relatively easy but the greens were in great shape. I shot a 2 over 73 with 4 bogeys and 2 birdies.

While the course is pretty easy, I am still very happy with how I played. My driver cooperated and my (new) irons were pure. I really put a lot focus into each shot and my greenside play was the best its been.

I'm taking this confidence into my next round and hope to shoot a similar score at a tougher course.

Shot a 95 (49/46) at a course I usually play often at a lower score. Need to get out to the driving range more often, I think.

Shot 81 (par 71, Emerald Bay in Bullard, TX is home course).  38 front was a personal best, 43 back was very disappointing.  Par first and bogey on next three holes, which is pretty good for me because they are hard, narrrow, blind dog leg par 4's and a short par 3 where I struggle to hit the green.  Then on 5 hit best drive ever on the hole and started a string of 6 straight pars missing birdie chances by inches which was frustrating.  Then came 11 and 12.  Mishit in fairway from 120 on 11 put me in tough spot for chip in rough that led to a double.  Then par 5 12 with water encroaching, should have laid up off tee, but tried to go to left landing spot and went OB.  Tree trouble resulted in a triple.  Shot the wheels right off a career round.  Played two over the rest of the way including a 20 yard drive on a par three that the recovery shot landed 15 feet, missed putt, but good bogey given mishit.  Parred 17 and 18 which are very tough finishing holes, missed birdie on both by 2 inches.  0 birds, 11 pars, 5 bogeys, 1 double, 1 snowman.  81 with a snowman was pretty good.

Drove the ball great, approaches were better (12 fairways or first cut, 7 gir).  Needed to chip and putt better.  A lot better.

Kind of a strange nine holes this morning.  5 fairways and 7 greens and only shot 40.  Started out very rough at +4 though three, finished strong though.  I had two three putts.  The first one I just should not have made.  The second was such a difficult first putt that I should have actually used a wedge.

Saturday got an 87 at Meadowlark in Huntington Beach, not sure how i did that??

My driver was on, hit every fairway but one, what seemed to kill me was my irons off the tee, all the par 3's were a mess.

Good news I seemed to have fixed my pull, if I concentrate, bad news i need to fix my aim.....dam golf!

I am sure it was a fluke!

75 today. Par 70 though. 10 pars, 5 bogeys, a double and 2 birdies....not great and had a lot of birdie putts. Birdied the 18th with a 30 foot putt in front of a beer drinking crowd (lovely weather here) which was satisfying.

    • Thanks and it already has! Like I said, the last three months of my season were the best golf I've ever played. I'm within the realm of "this is fun for me" now. It was super tough grinding thru that break 90 consistently zone where I just kept hitting the toe, I kept popping up and out of every shot, getting steep. I am one of those guys doomed to shoot 95 forever if I don't really put a lot of work in, and I just wasn't gonna go out like that. My goal is definitely to get to that point of playing lots of courses and stuff like you are, but it's been the right thing for me to focus on developing a better motion. The amount of gym work too I've had to do? I see a DPT with TPI level 2 certification twice a week. I'm in the gym five days a week. The sun zaps the crap out of me for the gym too and I need that energy for all the other things I do on top of this stuff. I'm not really trying to become scratch either tho that would be nice! I'm just enjoying the puzzle that is golf, trying to overcome its challenges in an efficient and smart way. I'm very aware of the physical limitations I'm fighting so this summer has been continuing to address those with a good therapist.  But that's awesome, my goal is to get out there and enjoy new courses, play more rounds, just like you're doing! We'll see how this season goes, but I might be near doing that, if I'm not there already. I was only losing like one ball a round over those last three months or so, which is great for me on these sometimes tricky Florida courses.
    • Good luck and I hope it all pays off for you.  I play in 2 year round stroke play tournament leagues.  I enjoy it, love the competitiveness and enjoy both groups and playing different courses every week.  My goals these days is not to be come a scratch player but to shoot under my age.  
    • 😄! I'm not kidding, man! The summers here are pretty rough! I'm not playing at sunrise or sunset though! Seriously, I brought a buddy of mine out for a round in June and he's normally good at handling heat and even he was like "yea this isn't very fun" after about 9 holes.  Keep in mind, I'm not really "playing," either. I'm grinding on the range, making my swing better. It's not nearly so bad if all you are doing is playing and riding a cart, never trying to change your golf swing. But that's not how I experience golf. For me it's like 5 range sessions for every round? It's just how I like doing it, I don't like ingraining my bad move by playing a lot of rounds. And keep in mind, this is a luxury for me. I've played non-stop for three straight years, working on my swing. It's definitely trickier grinding the range in these conditions. And I needed a mental break from it too. My dad for example, he plays thru the hot summer conditions, but he never gets lessons, never works on his game. It's just rounds for him, usually at sunrise. He never gets better. I've decided to take a different path than him in this game. The months away are good for me to do something else because disciplined practice, really thinking about what I'm doing, and trying to change things can be mentally tiring.
    • Geez!!! You were born in 1983.  I was born in 1946, live in SE Texas where we have had 105+ head index all summer and I have played at least 3 days a week all summer long.  I have played all over Florida both summer and winter.  The breezes there seem to be much better than the still heat we have.
