What'd You Shoot Today?

[Stormin]

Played the Deer Run course at Newport News Golf Club. Shot a 112, though two holes accounted for 15 strokes due to an absolute nightmare of a creek that seemed to have a magnet in it distinctly calibrated to draw in my golf balls, running along side the fairway on one hole and across the fairway on the next.

Did have the one of those "shots that keep you playing," moments when I tee'd up on a par 3 over water at 173 yards and dropped my tee shot eight feet from the hole. Thing stopped DEAD after one bounce. The ground was pretty soggy after rain last night, and I am lucky the damn thing didn't plug into the green entirely. :D The next hole I got up and down from the greenside bunker to three feet from the flag. Easiest tap in I've had in years. I could have tossed the clubs in the car after those two holes and called the day a win.

A good time and it gave me a lot of feedback on what I need to work on to get better.

Played Shagnappi in Calgary- 44+42-my lowest score-followed that with a butter chicken-duffed three, missed three short puts-all in all satisfied

[Rick Martin]

Played for the first time in a year. I birdied the first hole that I played. Truthfully, I did play from the forward green tees set up for seniors - played with my father who although is pretty good, seems to have some distance as he's aging. It was my idea.   Didn't have the best of time playing - not even sure what I scored, most likely an 80 or maybe even broke into 70s.....two birds, few pars, several bogeys......greens were thick and crappy where I played.  Guess they don't cut them on Sundays......

Went out with the wife, wife's sister and brother-in-law for a leisurely 9 holes at 3 Lakes Golf Course in Penn Hills, PA...

Shot 2 over 38 from the senior tees.

2 bogies and 7 pars

3 FIR and 6 GIR

8 2- putts, 0 3-putts, 1 2 putt

92 49-42 Best round of my short golf career. Strung together 3 pars, 1st ever Birdie, and then another par. Had two bad Triples. Felt great even with it being 99 out. Gotta get all the golf in before this drought kills all the local courses

Shot a 75  @ http://www.bouldercitygolf.com/-course-overview today. Of course I have been playing this course quite a bit lately, so I should be scoring well on it.. Toughest part of this course was figuring out the greens. They are pretty quick........,for me me anyways. Yesterday I played @ http://lasvegas.twoguyswhogolf.com/reviews/cascata.html    Shot an 85, which I have only played three times since it opened. Everything equals out I suppose. Playing some where tomorrow. Just not sure where as yet. Since the move closer to civilization, the golfing opportunities are much better, since there are so many available with in a 1/2 hours drive.

I am dropping the numbers every week. Today I shot a 55 in nine. The past few 9 hole rounds have been below 60. Im getting closer to my goal of breaking 50 in nine. My wife got me a three pack of lessons for my birthday, Im using them to work on my short game.

Sunday,

Kittyhawk GC (Hawk Course), Whites, CR: 70.6, Slope: 125

Dayton, OH

43-51-94

Had a quick, fun front nine. I even had a string of four-straight pars. Went thru one threesome and then found another later on, but they were pretty quick. I was in good tempo and hitting fairly well. Then, I made the turn.

Two guys jumped the 10th tee ahead of the threesome. The trio offered me through and opined that the twosome would surely let me through on 11. Ten minutes later I was finally clear to hit my tee shot. After rushing through a double bogey to be sure I got to them on the 11th tee, I got nothing but a blank stare from the pair. They got in their cart and drove 60 yards to where a worm-burner finally succumbed to grass and gravity. They watched each other hit every shank for the entire nine. Five times I stood next to tee box and was ignored. My temper simply can't handle that.

I don't know how I managed a 51 on the back. I was too angry for rationale thought and probably made mistakes on my score card.

36 - 37 on a 6200 yarder. 1 birdie, 2 bogeys. 13 FIR. 14 GIR. Couldn't make any putts on recently aerated greens. Missed an 18 inch birdie putt due to aeration. ARRRRR!

18 yesterday at Prairie Falls GC in Post Falls, ID. Par 70 (67.7/121).  Not a very challenging course with 2 very different 9's.  Front nine is typical Sun City type course with small houses on both sides of the fairway.  Back 9 is more open Prairie with links style holes.

A lot of short Par 4's on the back and I kept my driver in the bag most of the time.  I was 2 under par on the back going into Par 5 18 and since this was my first time playing this course some uncertainty bite me.  18 is an uphill dogleg to the right with OB down the entire right side due to the Driving Range.  All along the left side are houses.  If I was going to play there again I would've hit 3 wood off the tee and played for 3 shots.... instead I hit my drive OB and ended with a double.  Still shot 73 on the Par 70 track

Score: 73 (+3), 3 Birdies, 11 pars, 2 Bogeys and 2 Doubles.

Fairways: 8/13 (61.5%)

GIR:  7/18 (38.9%)  most of the missed greens were on the fringe.  I don't recall having to chip but I had 2 pitches and 1 sand shot.

Putts:  25... mostly due to a lot of tap ins with the first putt on the fringe.

Penalties: 3 ( 1 OB, 1 double tap pitch).

Saturday - 80 on a course I've played a lot - windy - drove a green on the short par 4 with the water short right and long left (tailwind - 300 yards - right on my line intended)

Sun - New course, never played - 84 - converted 1 of 2 fairly easy birdie opportunities.  But really a round of just stupid misses all over the place.

excited about my 3w lately - I lost that shot recently and found it again - every single hit was really nice

AND - I hit several long irons off of tees pretty well - sometimes I have a block on that

starting to give myself more and more birdie opportunities - not converting many, but getting more chances again

happy with my bag set up and tee choices too - both rounds I was able to hit every club in the bag

[ryan772]

my best round to date.

39 - 39 = 78 @ River Forest, F reeport, PA

Pretty consistent: 11 parts, 7 bogies     8 GIR    6/14 FIR    31 putts

I had all pars on the par 5's (3) and the par 3's (4), but I had 4 pars and 7 bogies on the par 4's.

This was my 4th consecutive 78 from the senior tees @ RF, but I had g ood chances at birdies on the last 3 holes.

I recently lost a 74 on last 20 scores, and the next score to go will be a 76, so after the next GHIN's come out next week, my HI will probably be a full stroke higher.

77 Thurs, 77 Sat, 86 Sun. Good front (39) but played with 2 guys who shot no less than 130 each and having to look for 4 balls on average each hole finally got to me so I faded on the back. Game back in order, however, thanks to my new driver so I'm thrilled.

69 Sunday at WWGC.

[Scotsclaff]

Played Torrey Pines South off the whites.

The rough is brutal there,much more difficult than the North course.

I played off 21(20.5)
