Brookside Course 1 back 9 blues (72.9/134 for the full course): 43

Well, back to the same old crappy scores. . .

7 bogey, 2 par, 3 FW, 6 GIR, 22 putts. The putting was not really that bad (most of the bogeys were tap in bogey), the breaks just didn't break as much as I read them. I even practiced the putts afterwards. The breaks are a lot less for some reason today. I even practiced for 15 minutes on the 18th hole green. The arroyo effect nullified half my reads???

This was typical of the crappy GIR I got. . . I'm also going to find out who put a white flag there when there should have been blue???:mad:

Shot a +1 73 today. Best round in several months even though it was from the geezer tees. But hey.....I'm a geezer.

Finished the front half after work. Only took 1:30.

Brookside Course 1 front 9 blues (72.9/134 for the full course): 40

1 double, 2 bogey, 6 par, 3 FW, 3 GIR, 15 putts.

Complete round today was 83 (40/43), 1 double, 9 bogey, 8 par, 6 FW, 9 GIR, 37 putts.

My double was from overshooting a "dogleg" into the next fairway on the 7th hole. I hit two trees on the way back. 2 putts.

Shot/hole of the day was making a regulation par on the 8th hole with my 6i. Carried 175 yards and sat right where it landed. I was trying to "layup" again and swung nice and slow. The ball took off like a rocket with tons of spin (you could hear the hiss all the way to the green).

Going to have to "package" this swing somehow. . .

My course one day after aeration has all the greens completely covered with sand.  I can't see the punched holes.   I still had only 31 putts in today's round.   The secret is to putt straight (the sand nullifies breaks), and putt hard (sand slows it down to a crawl).

The rest of stat: 98, 11/14 fairway hits, 1 GIR, 2 birdies + par, 8 double or worse holes.   98 was my 11th score in HI calculation and didn't move my HI one way or the other.   My driver, 3w, & 4h were outstanding.  Iron was very poor, hence, 1 GIR.   Weird.

A smooth 98 at the Olympic Club, Ocean Course.  Blowing like crazy.  At one point I used my 165-170 club (6 iron) and hit it 110 to hit the green in regulation.  I did have a stretch of 4 pars and 1 birdie in 6 holes.  Threw up all over myself the first few holes -- nerves.  Beautiful day though!

49 yesterday - Cobblestone Golf Course - Garnett tees

had a four putt (yikes) and a few flubbed chips from some tight lies.  the good news is I drove the ball well, hit a 15 foot putt, and chipped in for par on number 9.  the golf gods always know how to keep you in this game.  :)

The winter weather has been tough this past year in the eastern United States. I finally had a chance to play 18 holes for the first time since December and post a score since October. I started on the back nine and had par, birdie, par, par, par, par. One under after 6 holes.  Where that came from I'll never know. The last 12 holes I was my normal 5 over. Anyway, I shot 39-36=75 at River Forest CC in Freeport, PA. Three birdies, 8 pars and 7 bogies. A good start to 2015.

I love this game.

Brookside Curse 2 Blues: really bad, but I have hope for tomorrow!

[BuckeyeNut]

Drumm Farm Golf Club par72...........The front was being aerated so I played the back twice.  72.0CR 133slope for the tees played.

42-37=79

It's probably a false hope, but I may be slowly sanding away the winter rust.  I made a slight change, and everything started clicking with my irons.....I've been hacking them terribly, but one tiny little swing thought and I hit a lot of quality shots on the 2nd 9.    We'll find out if it was a fluke soon enough..........LOL For now, it left like old times.  I shot the 37 without even making any putts......

I broke 80 for the first time today!! 11.5 handicap and shot a 78 on a par 70. Very excited and hope to continue it.

Congratulations. Don't forget to save your golf ball. Years later it will be a cool conversation piece.

I played Copper River in Fresno yesterday. Combo tees - 70.9/123, 6,400 yards. It's not an overly tough course, but there are very few parallel fairways, so there is OB on almost every hole. Literally 14 or 15 holes have white stakes or other course boundaries.

In keeping with my usual driver tendencies, I had to "re-load" hitting 3 on three separate occasions. With that in mind, my 83 wasn't all that bad.

Nothing, there's a private tournament on both courses today. . .They're giving away a Mustang convertible on the par 3 8th hole today. Well there's always Tuesday. Taking off 3 days from golf for a family vacation and Easter stuff.

I was really discouraged with my performance yesterday morning with 3 doubles and 3 bogeys, and didn't even enter the score into GL. Sigh, so this morning I entered the scores for my handicap, and was kind of surprised. Note that the round was split into a 12 hole round and a 7 hole round with one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Brookside Curse 2 Blues: really bad, but I have hope for tomorrow!

Played  the back 12 holes in the morning , with 3 doubles, 3 bogey, 5 par. Played the front 7 holes in the evening with the following results: 2 bogey, 2 par and 3 birdies in a row .

Brookside Course 2 Blues tees (68.9/124 6046 yards): 78 (41/37)

Complete round statistics: 3 doubles, 5 bogeys, 7 pars, 3 birdies, 6 FW, 7 GIR, 30 putts.

I think I'm starting to shoot more consistently, but for the life of me I have no idea how? One day I putt like a monster with 30 and then next I get 37. It makes no sense to me whatsoever. . .

91. 45-46, course with 3 different nines par 71, 71.4/146 on the front nine and 71.8/144 on the back nine.

I hit the ball so well and actually found a fair amount of greens today. Parred 8 holes and really shot of shot in the mid 80's but I triple bogied 4 holes. on the 16 and 18th which were two of the easiest holes on the course I tripled them both and all I had to do was par or bogey them and ya.

My chipping was atrocious today and it cost me a bunch of strokes and I only 3 putted once but I left several birdie putts just short.

Overall good day but I know I can do much better.

Shot 97 at the Emerald course,Rayong Thailand.Hcap 24.
