87.

Could easily have been an 81.

...or a 91.

One triple.  Otherwise, just a bunch of bogeys - very few pars.

Played 9 holes last week and shot a 43.  I had a streak of (3) pars in a row, my remaining totals were (3) bogeys, (1) double, (1) triple.  Overall, my ball striking was solid, with the exception of two shots that were badly mishit.  My putting failed me and my score shows it, but I finally consistently hit my driver and irons.  I averaged 280 off the tee, but my irons were longer than usual on almost every shot.  I was hitting my pitching wedge between 135-140, which is unheard of for me.  I adjusted and started pulling one less club for every shot and started hitting greens on most of my approach shots that were 150 yards and closer (although two of these approaches yielded a shot that was literally on the green by one inch... almost touching fringe).

I'm going to try and fit more of these 9-hole rounds into my schedule during the week to see if I can start doing a better job of executing on the green.  My putting has improved, I only three-putted a couple of times, but I'd like to work on capping my green game to two putts or less consistently.  Last week was a great start to this goal.

A fugly 43, was 5 over after 3 holes. Missed two birdie putts on the par 5's. Getting better at not falling apart but tired of salvaging scores that could be lower by avoiding stupid mistakes. Lost all my strokes on back to back doubles one on a par 3.

+8 43

couldn't string two good shots back to back. Drove the ball decent, just couldn't get the iron game going, and the wedge game is just non existent. Its pathetic that I am more accurate from 170 yards than I am from 40 yards.

Tally-Ho did a 89 today at my home course. 70/119  46F/43B ..6295yds...more Geese than golfers today. I took my 710 MB's out and discovered their secret...put a little wrist flick into the shot, like with a wedge and Whammo!...you're up in the air like a cavity back. Yes I am dumb that way...I haven't played Blades since the 80's. ...sad I only have 2 rounds left before I have to put it all away for fall/winter...

41 with two good bogey saves. Dang near died laughing after I chunked a drive 30 yards. Thankfully I had witnesses. Actually played 12 holes, was +1 on the other 3.

Drove the ball very well today. Putting was bad, and so is the wedge game. Horrible from inside 100 yards.

Irons i kept hitting left, need to fix.

Played Army Navy CC - Fairfax - 39-39-78

Got a new putter for my b-day, haven't quite figured it out yet.  3 - 3 putts and a couple of other missed putts to save up and downs.

Playing Belle Haven CC today, hopefully I'll find the putting stroke.

Shot a wind swept 90 at a "foreign" course. Four 6's on the card the rest a mix of 4's and 5's and one 3. Pretty workman like round. Typically coming to the end of the season and i hit possibly the best drive i've managed all year.Had a new hybrid club in the bag and results  were mixed. Not sure wither to keep playing once a week through the winter or just hit the range every couple of weeks.

    • Starting over - missed posting yesterday and it had been less than 28 days since last off day….today was tempo drill day.  Worked on takeaway and moving smoothly into weight shift.  
    • I know it is probably dependent on a lot of factors, but how windy does it have to be out before you need to start guessing on how much it would influence the break of your putt?  When I played at Bandon, it was like 25-30 mph winds. The caddies talked about the wind negating break. The only time I had it visually influence my putt was on hole 18 at Bandon Dunes. My missed my putt on the high side of a pretty severe breaking putt. The slope around the hole was in the 2-3 degree range. As the ball was about to come to a stop, the wind gusted and pushed the ball half a rotation into the cup.  The rest of the week I thought it had no influence at all. I was thinking, is it just over thinking to try to account for the wind?   
    • Day 310 - 2025-08-06 Went downtown in the late afternoon and got nearly two hours of work in. Not a ton of breaks. Was blasting the TS at the end, from a HomePod and two TVs. 😄 
    • I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.
    • So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact.
