Yesterday I shot a 36 in the stapleford format, but, we only played 15 holes as it was getting late, as well as I didnt score on two of them! :)

Pretty pleased! \o/

98 today

Two holes destroyed my score, Got a 10 and a 9, One on the 1st and then on the 16th

Both times because I went into a bunker and hacked away 5-6 times until I got out


Posted
[CODE][/CODE]6,585 yds. 70.7/127. 76 with one birdie and a double. Double was on a par 3 when I had to take an unplayable in a bunker. Drop plugged (of course) and I couldn't get it up and down.

71, lowest round ever. Sadly it was a 3 and 4 par executive course. Par 61. Great fun though. Felt like a boss playing from the "tips" lol.

Shot a 44 at a local 9-hole course that included 5 pars, 0 hit fairways, and 3 one-putts. I was pretty inconsistent all day to say the least!

Yesterday at Pebble Creek in Tampa.....95...ugh! Just horrible.

Today at Silverado in Zephyrhills.......83.....I was hitting the ball...11/13 Fairways......6 GIRs.

Did 97, one of the worst scores this year.   Ever since recovering from my back sprain, I can't get 2 good rounds together.

The highlight today was my wife's 3 wood shot hitting a deer.  About 15 of them sat across a fairway and won't budge.   She had no choice but to hit and hope that her ball goes over the herd.  Instead, it hit one of them in mid section.  The deer just got up on its feet and trotted away.   But the rest of them just sat there until we drove our cart right through it.   It's like they owned the course.  Venison anyone?

Shot a 79 (par 71) yesterday.  37, 42.  Bogeyed the first two and parred 8 in a row before mishits charged forward.  Had a triple on 14 with OB off the tee.  Fatted drive on par 3 16 that went about 40 yards, two poor chips and a long putt to save bogey.  Had 1 birdie, 5 bogeys, 11 pars, 1 triple.  Very solid day for me.  Hit 9 fairways and 7 greens.  Chipped well and putted great (30).  The birdie was best of the day.  After 3 poor holes, triple, bogey, bogey, I had to have a birdie on Par 5 17 to get under 80.  It is long and very narrow, fairway is about 20 yards wide with major trees on either side.  Striped drive, mishit 3 wood to difficult rough behind tree.  hit a hybrid grounder that ran up to the green for a GIR leaving 55 feet for birdie.  Ran the putt in.  Maybe highlight hole of my golf career.

70 last Friday.  Caviat - easy course, especially the front 9, par 67 (33/34).  But even par on the front nine.  Very windy.

Last hole was fun.  Short Par 5 (454 yards, dog leg right and uphill).  Driver - 8i to green - about a 15 foot putt.  Still missed the eagle putt.  3 opportunities this round, two close chips (missed) and that last hole - inches missed, all three.  Opportunities, will convert one someday.

Never had an 8i 2nd shot to green on a par 5 before (9 iron distance at 135y, just added a club since hitting to an elevated green).  Normally it's 5w or 3w.  a few 5i - once had a 6i to a green.

Got up really early, an played a round with joshn3 today.

Beautiful morning, and a very enjoyable round.

I ended up 3 putting everything and 4 putt once, for double bogie. The greens were wet and the grass was straight up so all my putts were short. I hit extra hard on one putt and it just got to the hole. I looked like it hit the brakes 1 foot from from the hole.

Nice round, and it will take a few more morning rounds like this to get used to the greens.

Played pretty good golf over the weekend, 40 Sat afternoon and 42 Sun afternoon. We intended to play 18 yesterday but it rained the entire time were out there, even the rain gear wasn't enough to keep me dry. By the time I was half way home the sun came out .

+4 40,

Drove the ball extremely well, could not take advantage of it with my irons, and my putter is still lost in la-la land. Found out that i was looking through the bottom of my eyes, instead of center. So i lowered my head, trying to keep my head more still (lacking this key lately), i was hitting the driver amazing. Irons were grade C at best, some decent shots, nothing consistant. Still a bit too steep in the attack angle, and missing some shots short right (pushes).

37+36=73 on a pretty easy course in Midland, Texas (72.0/113). Didn't hit the ball particular well, but chipped and putted pretty well. Missed 3 or 4 birdie putts inside 10 feet, but made practically every par putt inside 6 feet.

Played 13 holes tonight with my son and his friend. Fun round. My son broke 45 on the front 9 and was on his way to breaking 90 off the blue tees at Santa Anita, but it got too dark to see.

    • Day 12: did the yardstick putting drill for a bit while watching tv. 
    • Hole 6, 185 uphill par 3, wind out of the right. I hit a 7 iron to 5-FT left of the pin. The ball landed about 185.5 yards. I drained the putt for a birdie, and most likely a skin.  2nd place is more of a best swing made. 110 yard wedge shot, where I did what I wanted in the back swing and downswing.  I hit a 75% partial wedge 95%. It was flushed, flighted, and beautiful to watch fly over the green. 🤣. I will need to redial in the wedges sometime. Since I am making an effort to make my former 3/4 swing length my full swing length. 
    • Is that like "the longest yardstick you can find"? I don't have Airtags but I'd call all of them Airtags too.!
    • Yea, that makes sense.  I remember an Open tournament when they brought out the wind meter one day because balls were being blown around the green. I think it was 45+ sustained, which probably means 60 mph gusts.  I think for the most part, it isn't something that needs to be taken into account.  Also, a golf ball is designed to optimally move through the air. It has better aerodynamics than a sphere.  Thanks for your expertise on this. That makes sense. I know about how wind diminishes the lower in height you go. I didn't know it went near zero at the ground. I deal more with tall structures (utility poles), and we have to take into account height and impacts of wind on the pole. A bit of experience, but wasn't sure how close to zero, non-impactful it was on the golf ball on the ground. 
    • Day 2 (7 Aug 25) - More work on tempo with mid-irons, moved to wedges for the balance of the drill.
