What'd You Shoot Today?

[shortgame85]

I played yesterday morning at 10:00a.m. The weather was supposed to be about 55 degrees, sunny, with a slight breeze. I say send the weatherman up the yardarm: overcast, temp was 50 but felt like 40, and when the wind gusted ( which it did quite a bit ), it felt damn cold!

I say all this because I am trying to rationalize shooting a 91. Started on the back 9 with a par and followed that with a triple bogey at 11. Shot 47 on the back, primarily because of poor performance at three holes, plus all the cups were in the position for the final day of a tournament ( really hard positions ).

The front nine was better, but it actually got a bit colder and started to sprinkle. More pars, better putting and if I hadn't double bogeyed the ninth ( my 18th ), I would have felt much better about the round.

Overall: driving was OK, few greens in regulation, chipping was good ( except for number 11 ), poor sand shots, putting was not bad. Assesment: work to do. Still, for the conditions being as bad as they were, I left with hope in my heart. Alas, that's what we all leave with isn't it?

There was a mix of rain and snow in the forcast for Sunday, but I was getting up early yesterday because my son was ushering at church so I thought I might as well try to go play. When I got downstairs at 7:15 there was snow on the ground. Not just a few flakes, but friggin snow. It was still snowing with a light rain too. Needless to say, I went back to bed after my mother-in-law picked him up. By mid day the snow was gone, but my back was too flared to try and play. I did mention it to my wife but she didn't bite. If she had I would have likely popped a few Alleve and given it a shot.

196 for 36 holes at a course in Grenada Hills at which I had never previously broken 105. The nines were 52-48 (100) and 47-49 (96).

Part of my goal of playing tougher courses, taking the ego hit of a temporarily worse handicap so I can lower it by being a better player.

86 on a new course with barely any yardages marked off (i assume the carts have gps...)

I'm pleased. Would be nice if i could just hit my putts about 18 inches farther... woulda shaved 3-4 strokes, as i hit som nice puts that died off-line.

[LottaBalata]

Shot an 88 last week. It was the first full 18 holes I've played in over a year and 1/2. I'm spurty. I bogey'd the first hole, had 3 pars in a row, etc, etc.

Shot a 43 today. Once again, strung some pars together but had 2 doubles, ouch.

Bought a sleeve of the Callaway Tour somethinorothers. . .Sorry. . .

Added probably 10 to 15 yards to my drives and 3 woods.

Sunday morning, i went out and played Indian Canyon. Very good course, but can inflate your score pretty badly considering they took a forest and put a golf course in it. If you dont have a great drive, your basically jailed up and cant get out half of the time. I am obviously not a pro, so... i get jailed up a lot. Its only 6300, but its up and down the whole course, no flat holes at all! not exaggerating either.
so in all, i shot a 94 for my first round of the year.

[Serenity Now]

Doubled 16 & 17 for a nice clean 80. Otherwise played really well. Walked course in 3 hrs 5 minutes

[Surfdude104]

Really good round for me today.
85, which if you check my handicap you'll see thats pretty good for me :D
Hit so many fairways with the drives.

A cold morning in florida - i think it was about 48 at tee time.
The weather threw me off for the first 3 holes. But once I warmed up it was a pretty comfortable round. Ended up with a 110.

[Jack_2251]

Played in the comp yesterday, shot a 77 (Par 71). Hit the ball Cr*p, just chipped and putted really well. Course rated 1 shot below the par.

[AceDunk]

Had a very unusual round today. I made sixteen pars (started with eleven in a row) and two triple bogeys. Finished with a 76. I hit the ball very well but those two triples destroyed my round.

[Turkovic]

Got out for a quick nine after work, haven't had the time to squeeze in a full 18 yet. Shot a 37....with 2 3-putts and 2 missed birdie putts inside 7 feet!!!! Look out practice green here I come, I've got more rust to shake off. I hate wasting good ball striking rounds like that

[Bob B]

1st of 2 league practice rounds tonight. Haven;t gotten in much practice and missed most of last year due to injury.

Hopes are probably higher than ability, at this point! We'll see. It's a pretty easy course if you're hitting the ball and avoid the water.

Let ya know tomorrow.

[iacas]

Wow, didn't have a great day on the golf course. I usually don't when I play with this one particular person. I have to remember not to watch his swing.

Shot 77 from the blues at Lake View. Greens were speedier today. Yay. Took only 25 putts.

Scorecard is here . One birdie. Should have been three but lipped two putts out. Oh well. It's still early and I know what to work on.

Z Factor!

[Doctorfro]

Shot 80. Walked it. 50% greens=80 or less. Dead on the stat. Think I got tired near the end. Beautiful NC weather.

[MrKadash]

Well, today was a first for me. I broke 80 (79) with 2 triple bogeys. Three other bogeys and two birdies -- birdied the 17th to get there. Never done that before and hope to never do it again. Wind today in Michigan was nasty (30mph gusts), but sunny and beautiful.

[lamebums]

45 for nine holes of Fox Run today. Everything was clicking on all cylinders except for the driver (but I hit the 3 wood so far today it didn't matter) and the putter. But then again the greens had just been aerated so, yeah.

Yesterday in our league I shot 33 and today I went out and shot a 74 on a much harder course. I have 3 birdies in my league score that I had on 14, 15, and 16 and on the 74 I had 4 birdies, but couldn't keep giving them back. LOL we all have those days.
