That's cool! I played nine today. Shot 39. Didn't strike it great but good. Rolled the rock like crazy though. My last drive was a bomb! 302 (slight wind aid but mostly cross). Felt so GOOD!!

76 (+4)

41 front, 35 back (-1).

really good score for me. two birds and an eagle on the back. par 5 into the wind. 300 off the tee, 225 (uphill and into wind - playing 245) on the green in 2 and sunk a 10 foot uphill putt with a cup and half right break.

I hit a 73 today on a par 69 associated links course. that is set-up with not many bunkers put with huge rolling green-side mounds.

i only pulled out my driver once.

i was basically practicing attacking the greens on middle irons.

it seems to pay off.

although i did miss a dead-straight two footer for birdie!

76 at Lake View from the Blue-ish tees. We have no tees yet and 15 or so of the greens are temporary greens (in front of the green, in the fairway, which counteracts the lack of distance you get from roll fairly well.)

Scorecard is here .

One of the... I think three?... holes with the flag in the actual green, I birdied. The way I keep score (putts inside of 6 feet are all good) with temporary greens removes the ability to make many birdies, but it gives back in letting you make some pars you might not normally make, too. Overall, it's been pretty accurate.

Had a horribly inconsistent round at Sandy Ridge CC in a high school match the other day. Shot a 44 with 4 doubles, a birdie when I drove the green! and an eagle on a short par five, where I sunk about a 25 footer for a 3. But I still came in a tie for 5th place out of about 30 golfers, so im not too mad.

UGH!!!
First round of the season today. Pretty soggy conditions although they had no impact on my play. Could not get off the tee at all. No excuses.
Shot 47 on the front 9 of a course that I don't play much (my course isn't open yet). 11 over with a chip in bird (picture perfect) and a par on the par 5 9th..... Very happy with the short game but overall....... Not good. Time to go to the range....

Shot 44-40 for my first full round back. Played with Darrell Green, who played with the Redskins a couple years back. Never thought I'd see him on my Muni!

But to my round, terribly inconsistant with wedges. Irons and driver were working at about 80%. Putting would get hot and cold constantly. Made a 25ft birdie on 12 and a 30ft par save on 13. Birdied 9 after an approach shot to 6 feet. Greens were terribly aerated as well.

It was a good day...

Tourney play at McCormick Woods, Port Orchard, WA.

Started to pour rain on the 11th hole. Dbl bogey 11, 12, and 13. Sigh. Lost concentration, took a bit to recover. Still... came in 2nd place in my division made my money back.

Finally got to play here in Michigan. 42-39 for an 81. Great off the tee as I hit 9/14 fairways (two were a couple yards off) which was my achilles heel last year. Couldn't putt, had no short game, but that will come around. Not a bad day.

42! Could have been better, I had a 3 putt on the first (no warm-up and wintery greens hurt me there), missed a 4 footer for par on the third, and a 3 footer for birdie on the 8th. Doubled the 6th... One day it will click.

I'm ba-ack!! Well, I hope! Shot 77 today. 9 fairways, 13 greens, but 36 putts. Didn't drive it great but it wasn't bad either. Kept it in play. My iron play was best it's been in a long time. Enjoyable round (no wind today!)

    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
    • Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
