Shot a lousy 53 on 9 holes. Took 4 drops on the 1st 4 holes.  Two drops on a single hole! 🤬

Did get my game back for the last 4 holes of it could have been worse.

one highlight was #8 Par-3 playing @ 190 to the center with a back pin. I chose to play my 5 which I consider my 190 club and I crushed it 205 and was on the top tier pin high.  2 putt for par and won closest to pin on that hole.

i could be wrong but I feel like I am taking my eye off the ball prior to contact and that is hurting me.IMG_9873.thumb.png.b70e13284ce2943d7915f47c220d9e9b.png

Not today, but last time I played, so hopefully that's okay. My electric trolley died by the 10th green and I had to drag it round the last 8 holes. That was not fun. Birdied 17 to go -1 and then came up short on 18 on the face of a bunker that an earlier storm had absolutely destroyed. I couldn't get the back of the ball. Moved it about a yard and then got up and down for a 5. -1 wound up being the qualifying number, so that was quite annoying. Still - lots of good out there. The other three bogeys were one chip out of the trees, one three putt and one hole that's too narrow for how long it is and I took four to get down from 200 after hitting 2 iron off the tee. Four birdies were a 9 iron to 3 feet, an 8 iron to 2 feet, a two putt birdie and a chip and a putt on the other par 5. All in all, very happy with how I played. Couldn't believe it wasn't good enough.

39-35 today for a 74.

Short course - 6200ish with a 68.9 rating.

Winds sustained at 20 MPH with gusts to 35. Hit a PW (150 club) on a short Par 3 of 115 and didn’t even get to the hole with a full flighted swing lol. 

 

Played well on the back and was happy overall with the round with the wind.

Sounds like a pretty good round considering the conditions. Good job.

Not sure but today may have been my best 9 hole score ever.

Shot a 42 (+7).  3 GIR and 4 nGIR.  Only hit 1 Fairway but had 2 that just missed the fairway and even the other missed fairways were not all that bad.

18 putts total.

now I need to do it again.

Visiting Branson MO this week and played Paymes Valley today. My dad, my nephew and myself all shot: 67, 75 and 144 respectively. My nephew just started a month ago. Not bad for a beginner!!!! He’s trying out for his HS team in 2 years. He will be a freshman and wants to get better. Granted his first round he played his own ball was a 179. He just played one of toughest course and shot a 144. He got discouraged but that’s impressive for a beginner. If any of you would like to tell home the same; by all means do so!

It happens to the greatest of players. I once let my pride ruin a round and tee’d up 6 balls and all went in the water. On the 7th I finally cleared the creek. I lost count after that lol

Shot a +8 for 9 holes. The course was playing tough. Firm and fast. You had to be careful of the ball just taking a bad kick into the trees. The course doesn't cut the fairways down to where you can get a ton of spin. You almost have to slightly thin it to get spin. A lot of shots end up a few grooves high on the club face. The grass just stands up a bit, and it is easy to get slightly under it. The greens are decently sloped, and are stupidly firm, it is tough to stop the ball. Like, you hit to the middle of the green and the likely result is the ball is on the fringe or back rough. 

I have to fix this toe hook I am having. I the swing feels decent, just over drawing more than I want. It is tough for me to feel like I can open the club face up that much to counter act it. Especially with the driver since I sole the club down on the ground to grip the club. I am not feeling like I am hitting that far inside to out. I wonder if it is an alignment issue. Like, maybe my slight push is a straight ball and the toe hook might be a straight hook. I might play a practice round out there and lay an alignment stick down to get a feel for where I am aiming and what I am actually hitting.

Only got in six holes (short six hole course), but played them to par with one birdie and one bogey. A couple of lucky breaks, but mostly decent play from tee to cup. Seeing some distance increase from the Evolvr work due to better contact. Hit a choked up 6i 190 yards on a hole I usually hit a full 6i 5-10 yards shorter. Short game was good and saved some pars.

I had planned to continue with another 6-12 holes, but as I got back to hole one, a high school class was there to spend some time before summer since their exams are done, and the guys from the club pulled me in as instructor. After that I was hungry and never got back on the course. Perhaps for the better, as I don't think I'd be able to shoot another six on par.

39-39 today for a 78.

6860 yards, 72.6 rating

I hit 12 greens but couldn't get a putt to drop. That was frustrating.

Hit in the fescue on 9 and 15 for doubles and other than that played well with 14 pars, 2 bogeys, and those two doubles.

Played the same course as yesterday today. 6,860 yards, 72.6.

Scored better today. Shot a 37-38 for a 75 and did something I don't recall ever having done before.

The par 5's run 522-646-523-557 and I birdied (or better) all of them. They only reason I turned in a respectable round was because I played them -5.

I only hit one fairway on the front 9 and then hit 4 on the back. Only hit 9 greens today.

I didn't hit the ball well at all today, but putted pretty decently. Just was in a weird swing funk.

8 bogies, 6 pars, 3 birdies, and an eagle.

89. 

 

Came less than a centimeter short of my first eagle. Had an ugly triple on the last too. But didn't lose a ball. Now in the last 3 rounds I have only lost 1 ball.

On Saturday I played a short (~5900yds) but narrow course that has some quirky holes and very mature trees.

Shot a 34-34 for a 68 on a par 71 which tied my lowest score relative to par at -3 (all time lowest round is a 67 on a par 70) and set my new record for most birdies in a round with 6. 

That included a penalty stroke bogey on a par 5 and another sloppy bogey from 125 in the middle of the fairway.

Hit a wedge from 110 to a foot on a par 4 and a knockdown flighted 9 iron from 140 to 2 feet on a par 3 for easy birdies. Add in driving it greenside on a par 4 and a couple tap in birdies on par 5s and it was a good day.

Also helps that I made every putt inside 10 feet and only ended up with 27 putts for the round. 

This is the SG compared to scratch and that includes losing 1.01 strokes approach on the 1st hole when I sliced a 5 iron into a hazard.

      Exactly correct.   I was absolutely certain about the penalty (none here), but the bit about where they play from can be really confusing the first time you read it.  In my big paper rule book, i used colored highlighters to make it clear.  Good thing I did, at the Cascades there's little to no cell service, so using the rules app on the phone wasnn't possible.

      Taking a crack it, but looks pretty clear. 11.1  Ball in Motion Accidentally Hits Person or Outside Influence. a. No Penalty to Any Player If a player’s ball in motion accidentally hits any person (including the player) or outside influence: There is no penalty to any player. This is true even if the ball hits the player, the opponent or any other player or any of their caddies or equipment. Reading further down it looks like they have to play the ball as it lies. No replay from the previous spot.

      I had an interesting one yesterday, a local qualifier for the US Senior Open, at the Cascades Course at the Homestead.  Well, first things first, the VSGA arrnged for the officials to play the Cascades on Monday at the players' practice round rate.  Its lots of fun, rather old-style (built in the 1920s).  anyway, a player missed a short putt, and (apparently embarrassed) took a step to be ready to tap the ball back in.  The ball lipped out, and hit the player's foot.  I was nearby, and they waved me over, and asked "What do we do now?"  I was pretty sure of the ruling, but asked them to wait for a few seconds while i double-checked.  I did have it correct, even though its one of the more confusing rules in the book right now.  I'll leave the correct answer out for now, in case anyone wants to guess, or research it, and post their ruling.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I am going to try to try to have more intent with my shot routines. I saw this process in a YouTube video I watched last night.  Decide what you want to happen - Yardage, shot shape, start line Visualize what you want to happen - Straight forward, but one tip he suggested was while focusing the shot take in a slow deep breath (like 4 seconds in duration), hold for 1 second, then exhale slowly (like 4 seconds again). There is some evidence to show that this rhythmic style of breathing can help in calming heart rate and improving focus.  Feel what you want to happen. - Your 1-2 practice swings. Like if you need to hit your PW at 90%, feeling that.  Commit to what you want to happen on the ball.  Post-shot routine, where you either gain confidence from a good shot or learn from a mistake to foster a growth mentality. - If it was a good shot then give yourself some good vibes/feedback. If the shot didn't turn out, then access why to learn from it. I am going to add, don't get negative.

      I mean, if you like GZ, and would drink it more often during a round than water, then keep drinking that. If you walk 18 holes, on a hot summer day, and drink 2 20-oz waters or 4 20-oz GZ. You will benefit more from the 4 20-oz GZ because it's like 99.99% water, lol. Yea, if flavored water makes you drink more water, then that works better.  I would just monitor the salt intake relative to your own health. I am sure some people might have to be careful. GZ is 280 mg salt. So, 4 of those is over 1000 mg. It is over 4 hours. That is like half the daily recommended intake of salt. You are probably losing some of your salt reserves playing golf. Long winded way of saying, it depends on the person.
