What'd You Shoot Today?

[Darth Fader]

I'm a solid 14 so look at it from that perspective. Was even through 7 with a bogie and a birdie. Playing way over my head. Doubled the #1 handicap par 5 8th and the easy par 4 9th for a 40. Then the sky opened up but we played on. Didn't fare as well on the back, 47 but the conditions were horrible (really). I'm trying hard to work on my irons as they are what holds me back. I come over the top something horrible but today I hit some really solid iron shots and may have found a little something. Tomorrow's weather doesn't look good. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for starting this tread.

88, Absolutley Horrible!

I know I shouldn't expect much from the first round of the year, but I played God awful today. I was suprised that my course even opened it up this weekend. The course was in disgusting condition. Almost lost a shoe because the ground was so saturated.

With that said, its not to bad considering everything in my bag is new, and it was the first time these clubs have touched actual grass.

I got the itch again and already want to get another 9 in before dark.

Shot a 109 today - 54 on the front / 55 on the back. For the first time all 14 drives were solid. Biggest issue was losing 2 balls shooting directly into sun this morning (balls that shouldnt have been lost and were probably right in front of me).

89 on freshly aerated and top dressed greens, you could putt a 5 footer 4 times and it would break differently every time. Not too disappointed with making bogey every hole given the greens

Chambers Bay, Washington. windy, sunny, showers. The course played nice. Shot 82 (43 front, 39 back). I naturally have a low shot flight and that helped tremendously, especially on the par 3's and long par 4's. Imagine a 5 iron for a 144 yard hole. That's the kind of day it was and I loved it. Played with a 2 handicapper and he shot 77 so I felt very good. Seem like I play better when grouped with low handicappers, gets the competitor out of me.

On a golf trip in Destin. Shot a 94 this morning at Regatta Bay completely hungover (probably shouldn't have been driving a golf cart) and 87 this afternoon at The Raven. Finishing up at Kelly Plantation tomorrow morning. My buddy and I are in the championship match (2-man match play), $600 at stake.....

82 again... I hate when I have to wait a lot of time because the group in front of me is slow. The foursome in front of me were newbies and they don't let me pass, I hate that. They cause desesperation on me and I throw to the garbage my score.

Regards.

114 this afternoon - a great reminder of why i normally play early mornings. Slow play in front is one thing - retarded slow play is another.

0 because Vermont is still coverd in snow

[Caddyshack]

I had 40 stableford points today and scratched out on the last hole...

[DavidFehertysBike]

Shot 86 today..:( I missed alot of makeable 5-10 foot putts today and it felt as if my entire foundation was out of wack. May be time to visit the old pro for a pousture check..

[anubus84]

100 at turner golf course in albany, ga yesterday morning and a 105 at riverpoint golf club yesterday afternoon

Today, I shot my personal best of 95 (not bad for having only played for 6 months). Weather was a bit chilly (low 40's) with some variable wind thrown in for good measure. My drives were OK (still fighting a fade sometimes), irons were really working well, chipping STUNK, and putting was decent.

[bwgolfer]

The good news is that I shot a 73 from the tips today. The bad news is that I had 5 birdies and an eagle on a par 5. Talk about Jeckel and Hyde....bwgolfer

89 yesterday. One of my worst scores in a long time. 41-48. Basically, it was 42 and windy out and my back tightened up so badly on the back 9, I could hardly swing.

[dmc]

I shot 81 on Saturday. Not bad since I was wearing three layers of clothing and the fairways are still dead and soft.
