What'd You Shoot Today?


Recommended Posts

Shot a 38 on a par 29. The best part for me was that during my warm up bucket I figured out how to hit my driver straight for the first time. Hit four perfect tee shots before going out. Hit a perfect drive on the first par 4. It was so good I had to hit a second shot just to see if I actually knew what I was doing. Second shot ended up right next tot he first one. Even worked when I used my 4H off the tee on a longer par three. Finally figuring out how to not hit that driver with slice onto the next fairway was awesome.


+1 37 last night. Getting tough to play after work with 7:50 sunset and fading. Not looking forward to fall just now starting to play at the level I finished last year.

+7 today. A couple of missed putts, but despite that only 26 putts!


My short game worked wonders, rarely had more than 4 feet left if I missed the green (anything within 20 yards basically)


I contribute the score to the swing changes I did before the round, I must've done something right :beer:

Shot a 41 last night in the first round of my league playoffs.  We play match play but count all strokes in case of a tie as the tie-breaker is net score.

I hit a few drives longer than I have ever driven the ball thanks to some swing changes.

5 pars

3 bogeys

1 double  (pin high in rough and took 4 to get down)


Shot 39 a couple days ago, last time I played.  With three holes to go, I needed three pars to hit forty.  Went par-par-birdie.  Got the birdie thanks to a lucky approach shot bounce on the last hole.  The ball hit a rake or something just off the green.  Bounced up in the air, and ended up about three feet from the hole.  /clean living :-D


My last two rounds have been 95 and 96 at my local course.

Off to the Emerald today which was designed by Nick Faldo,not a links course by any means but not many flat lies either,the fairways are very hilly to say the least.


73 today, 7 bogeys, 4 birdies. Probably every bad bounce I could have gotten, I got.

Had a pretty good round on Thursday. 46 on the front nine which was quite a struggle with 3 doubles, 3 bogeys and somehow 3 pars!?!? However it was the back nine where my game finally came to life! I had a two over gross 37!!!! 7 of 9 GIR's! 1 birdie, 5 pars and 3 bogeys for my first ever sub 40 nine! That gave me a total of 83 :) Regards Mailman

Looks kind of benign, but one of my more bizarre rounds ever. Birdied #1 and shot even par through 6. Hit one OB on #7 and went 10 over through the next 6. Birdied #13 and finished even par though the last 6. The OB rattled me and it took a while to get back on track, but once I did I finished like I started. Wish I could keep it together like that for 18 holes.

Just some dumb decisions kept me from breaking 80 today, made triple on 18th hole by hitting hybrid instead of 6 iron for my second and hooked it into trouble causing me to hit my 3rd in the bunkers with no sand and I bladed over the green behind some bush/weed then hacked it out near the green and just lost all focus at that point and chopped in a 8 after that just disappointing when course conditions can be more penalizing than the bad shot and I'm speaking directly about the lack of sand in the bunkers, I don't know what to do if I have a long bunker shot but I can't hit behind the ball because the club will bounce off the hard clay bottom of the bunker just so frustrating cause I really think I deserved a better score today.

I love it when a plan comes together!  I arrived at 5:15pm and the head pro suggested I tee off on #10.  I played through only 2 groups and finished 18 holes in a little over 2hrs.  I played well on my first 9, but missed a some very makeable birdie opportunities.  I also reached the 18th green in 2 and 3-putted for par!!!! :pound: Considering how well I played from tee to green, finishing over par was a poor finish.

By the time I turned to the front, it was late enough in the evening that I had clear sailing!!  I bogeyed 3 of the last 4 and limped in for a 77 including the last which is a reachable par5 after a perfect drive.   I had a good chance to card another near-par round, but it wasn't meant to be.

My round today can be summed-up by 2 words:  "MISSED OPPORTUNITIES"

Dissappointing 91 for my first tournament ever. (Well quite pleased with how I played when I played "well" but way too many blow up holes and dumb mistakes) Par 72. +19 Out in 50 (+13) in at 41 (+6) Very up and down, could save a hole with one great shot / putt after 3-4 terrible shots. And could screw up a hole after a great start. Didn't really get my game "flowing" 3 birdies (!) 1 par ( :( ) 9 bogies ( :( :( ) 5 DB or worse... ( :( :( :( ) Granted the course played pretty tough and I finished 9 after the leader for 23rd place. Me being one of the higher handicappers, I'd consider that okay :) Tomorrow 36 holes at another tournament! :)

Disappointing 91. Had 40 putts including a 4 putt and three 3 putts. Could have been. Solid round as I has 8 greens in regulation, and only 1 hole I didn't give myself a putt for par. I didn't even have a penalty shot All day as I never lost a ball. Only thing in my defense is I didn't sleep last high and when 630 came around I figured what the heck why not play a round. My irons were the best they have ever been I think though

Had probably the ugliest round for a while but somehow managed to get away with an 87! 45 out and 42 in! 1 birdie, 6 pars, 5 bogies and 6 doubles! God there was some ugly golf, starting with 3 doubles, a bogey, birdie and double! On the positive side I was playing off 14 today and pared all 4 holes I didn't get shots on! Apart from that not a lot to really be too enthused about! Regards Mailman

    • This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.
    • I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
    • I don't think the viewer at home can pick up on pace of play, unless the announcers mention something. The telecast has the luxury of bouncing from player to player, which ensures we the viewer always have something to watch.  I think we would notice pace of play if the camera just followed one golfer for an entire round. Or  You were actually golfing behind the slow group Or  The slow group is the last to only group left to finish the tournament.  I like the idea of having a person carrying a digital clock, following each golfer. When the golfer gets to the ball and the group in front of them has cleared they have 60 seconds or they get a penalty stroke. Maybe a second violation is a 2 stroke penalty.  Or as I have said before, every golfer wears a shock collar!!!!! at 1 min 1 second that golfer if going to drop. It will take them a good 30 second to recover, leaving them with another 30 seconds to hit the shot. The course would be littered with golfers just convulsing on fair way from an endless cycle of shocks because they cant seem to hit their ball and keep pace of play. 
    • This isn't the same thing.  This is entirely a time of year thing. Not a trend.  This is the COVID year.  There are many who think the Masters viewership was actually way up. The 2024 ratings being down is only for CBS televisions. It doesn't include anyone (including me) who watched it online. 
    • Ha, I didn't even notice that "NFL competition" part… I just dismissed it on face because pause has very little if any role in TV ratings.
