10 Aug 24 - been a while since I’ve posted here, today’s round was a solid and consistent round (41 front and back).  Only one dbl - hole 11 : tee shot tagged the overhanging branches on the right side which meant I hit a punchy 6i for a low running layup to the pond that guards the green that led to an easy 9i (should have went PW) that landed deep on the green to just barely roll off which led to a pitch with the 54 that stopped short for a longish (15’) putt that was a 2 putt for a 6.  Overall it was a solid round as the course was CPO (cart path only) due to the heavy rains from Debby this week.  Stats wise of the 9 pars, 6 were up&downs (greenside drills pay off),  27 putts total (deeply attributable to the chips and pitches putting the ball close).  Fairway misses were for the most part less than two yards deep, no biggie.  It was a good day on a wet course….

44-53=97 at Musgrove Mill Oak tees. First round here since developing tennis elbow on 6/1/24. Very discouraging. Not one aspect of my play was any good today. Pulling the ball off the tee; several 3-putts today after gaining 3.25 and 5.1 strokes putting my last two rounds. Not much fun playing this poorly.

Best round of the year, 38-42-80. Disappointing because I haven't broken 80 in 5 years and was in position to go low on the back. Putting did me in. But I am very pleased about the way I am striking the ball right now. Support your local club pro.

Played Musgrove Mill today, 44-49=93. Hit 11/14 fairways and the 3 I missed were because I hit them through the end of the fairways on 1, 9 and 16 by a combined 3’. Hit 7 GIR but missed birdie putts inside 9’ on 6 and 7. Parred 4 and 18, which are difficult par 4s. Hit over the green on 8, 9 and 10, going +8 on those three holes. All three after great drives. Need more reps! Handicap increased by 1.1 shots after the past 2 rounds. Will go up more if I don’t play better since my 20th score was a 73…

30 Aug 24 - Played the weekly Men's Golf round, today was a return solid play with an 81 (40 / 41).  The second time I've had only one "6"  - next goal is to have a "no sixes round".  Missed several birdies that could have made this an all time low.  Still a solid day of golf, with good approach shots and some great up and downs.   10 of 14 fairways hit, 32 putts, 9 pars, 9 bogies, 0 dbls or worse (a new personal best).

Shot a stress free “no sixes” 78 (38/40) with Covid on Sunday.  Practically asymptomatic (congestion and fatigue), I wouldn't have even tested myself if a coworker I was in close contact with hadn’t informed me he tested positive. Told my group I was planning to skip but they insisted I still play if I was up for it. Glad I did because I hit 13 GIR which might be a personal best, but didn’t putt very well.

Leslie Park: 82 (70.1/128). I think I played better than I scored. I have not played much lately and -0- practice has taken its toll.

Shot a 42 tonight. I went out decided to  just swing with good flow and let the swing be what it is. It was overall decent. Especially when I kept it shorter.

Shot my best score today but didn't feel like the best I've played overall. First time breaking 90 though! Shot an 86.
Almost eagled a par 4. Drove the ball to about 10 yards to the green, about 20 yards to the pin. Chipped the ball to land less than an inch from the cup on the second bounce. Was able to birdie it, great feeling!

Shot a 41 tonight. I thought it would have been worse. Started off with a DB, then a bogey. Swing didn't feel good. I found something by the third hole. I end up making a 4 on the last 6 out of 7 holes. Nothing solid, but good enough to hit a few GIR and nGIR. Pretty happy with how I played.

78 today at Minnesott (36 front / 42 back) - a new first with an even par on the front.  A big day of up and downs for par.  Only 26 putts against 4 GIR and 5 nGIR.  Was a CPO (cart path only) day due to recent rains.  Overall game was on - until 18 where I was looking at having a first “no-sixes” and made a triple 7 (tee shot in the lake, 2nd tee in fairway, shot 4 approach to right of green pin high, shot 5 bogie on the green, long two putts for triple 7.  Still a solid round and new personal best.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
