What'd You Shoot Today?


Recommended Posts

Birdied 16, missed a 2 1/2 foot slider for birdie on 17 and then hit 2 balls in the water on 18 for a 79. 3rd consecutive day of a 5 day in a row stretch. I will be taking a few days off next week. Good news is, I am striking the ball better than I ever have. I love this game.

I shot 90 today. Thats the first time I've shot that high in probably 2 years. I only parred 6 holes and didnt get up and down at all

Its a huge hit to my confidence so I'll be taking at least a few days off now

Scrambled my ass off for a 40 for nine holes. Everything worked except my driving (I found myself in the wrong fairway twice, in the trees three times...) and I couldn't sink a putt. Could have been under par, easily, the more I think about it.

Would have, could have, should have.
"Shouldn't you be going faster? I mean, you're doing 40 in a 65..."

Shot 94 at Eagle's Nest in Myrtle Beach, real hard to shoot good rounds when you are hitting recovery shots every other hole.

Last night, I shot 44 (8 over). Still not getting off the tee and putting was atrocious (blasting them by). Still early I guess. Lots of work to do.

Shot 78 in a tournament team Match Play event. I beat my opponent 2 & 1 after having to give 3 strokes. Also won the team 2 up by paring the last 2 holes after going OB on 16. Shot even on the back (my front) but leaked oil coming home. Felt prett good as I shot consecutive rounds in the 70s this week

Well i played wit sum buddies yesterday but cudnt finish before I had to go to work. I went out this morning about 9:30 and finished that round at my home course and shot my lowest round this year with an 82 (41 on back, and 41 on the front) I still wasn't happy though because I doubled the 8th, and bogeyed 9. Then I played in a youth tournament at a course I had never played at and posted a mediocre 87. (45 on front and 42 on back) I tripled 18...

Played my first 18 hole round yesterday.
Shot a crummy 91 (45/46) with 30 total putts and zero 3 putts.
Could not get off the tee (with either driver) which put me into some bad situations/places. Ended up resorting to hitting the 3 wood off the tee. Time to stay off the course for a few days and hit the range.


Shot a 6 over today, hit my irons really well and my driver but my putter was iffy. I missed a few 6 footers and I didn't hole any puts of distance. Fairly happy and it was great weather.

I've been golfing for about 3 months haha, and yesterday I hit a 58 on a nine hole (without cheating in any sort) haha I know you don't have to tell me... I suck.

    • Ok, so going to get this posted, out in the world.  I haven't posted as much because of work life balance being s*** right now. I have this project in NJ (sorry @billchao, but NJ is a giant pain in the a** 😉) that is just sapped all my motivation for most anything else. My bowling league started up, so that is taking more focus.  I plan to start working out again, again NJ project, since I haven't worked out consistently in like 6 months. I also will start practicing golf again here soon. Time to get some indoor work done, and the golf course near me has a trackman you can rent out. So, I plan to hit some over the winter as well. 
    • Yep, I think the biggest issue is the carbon fiber.  Carbon fiber is not good for high impact due to it being brittle, and there can be catastrophic failures. If you consider something like bicycles, where the frame can be carbon fiber, but they usually have a beefy suspension system to take the shock. Carbon fiber is good in tension, not compression. It is bad in compression. It makes no sense to have a carbon fiber golf club that is subjected to both tension and compression on a golf strike, especially off-center hits.  Ping is using carbon fiber on top of the club at the back half of the crown to lower spin. It is probably in a place that wouldn't see much of the compression/tension from a mishit. Also, the bottom half of the club is metal. So, it is pretty rigid.  The Paradym Drivers have like 80% of their club as carbon fiber. The back weight distribution design is not connected, by metal, to the front part of the club. I can see if you mishit it, and that 20% metal starts to twist, it will create a section of the carbon fiber under compression, and it will crack.   Also, here is the tech description from Callaway on their newest driver... "The 360° Carbon Chassis has been refined to promote increased weight distribution. By adding an internal titanium support structure, the Carbon Chassis is now 15% lighter*. This mass is redistributed into the head to improve launch conditions and add forgiveness. Each Forged Carbon sole features a unique color and carbon pattern, making every piece one-of-a-kind." This sounds to me like they saw a large number of failures and added better material for more support, but they framed in a way to sell the club. 🤣
    • Ouch, @ChetlovesMer is catching strays over here 😜
    • Thanks Bryan! Working on it! But yes, good and bad days/hours
    • I agree with there being many aspects in which you could still be connected to golf IF you weren't able to play. I would try my best to not give up on playing yet though. Give it some time, be as positive as you can be (I know that is easier said than done sometimes), and try not to mentally give up on it.
