76 at Whispering Woods today. Made only one birdie, but hit a lot of fairways. Most of the missed GIR were pretty small. Greens were still aerated and still slow. Tough to make putts.

Hit 12/14 fairways, 39% GIR, 7/11 scrambling, and 27 putts.

Shot an 84 two days ago. My putter was what let me down. Hit 10 fairways and 13 greens and then blew it all to hell with 3-putts. NOTHING bugs me more than a 3-putt. I can deal with a bogey from missing a green of fairway, but man, 3-putting from a GIR really gets under my skin.

83(42+41) at Williamsburg Country Club, felt I played pretty well other than the triple bogey on the front and the one on the back.

I played at Quail Hollow Country Club (sort of my local golf course). I hit my career bests at a 50 on the back 9, and altogether I hit a 101.

Came out of my slump big time today. Shot 70 (-2) at a course I have never played before in Denver. Played okay on the front was 2 over but shot 4 under on the back including birdies on the last three holes. Did not hit the ball great but finally was able to score a little. Feels good.

shot +8 was +6 on the front but saved it by finishing +2 on the back despite a triple bogey.

Need to update my handicap 14 is harsh wrong.

After struggling through a 90 on Saturday, 91 yesterday, today I played to my potential......40 + 39 =79 8 over.
I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

Today I shot a best-yet 93, I had one birdie and one or two pars. Lots more 2-putts than 3-putts today which is good. I set myself up for good one-putts but kept lipping out! But getting that close on my lag putts is great putting for me! If I had made all those putts it would have been an awesome round. Also, I made a 10 on a par 5 on the front nine by putting two balls out of bounds. If I had made a single or double bogey on that hole I would have felt a lot better about the round!

I felt I had good course management, I was hitting the driver pretty well, not too many GIRs but I came close and my chipping/pitching was decent today... I left a 50 foot chip for par three inches from the hole... It was dead on target just needed a hair more. Got up and down with the PW and SW from inside 50 yards very well too. Just need to get up and down with my irons instead so I can be putting on my 3rd shot instead of pitching...

I played 18 with an older gentleman who was really good and I felt I played a lot better with him.

I think the thing I take away most from this round is the importance of 2nd shots. I kept hitting the driver up onto the fairway and then blowing my 2nd shot by trying to blast it onto the green. I kept topping the ball and knocking it 20 yards because I would be trying to kill the ball and straighten my posture on my downswing and miss getting good ball contact. If I can make more 2nd shots closer to the green I will be scoring a lot lower.

Played a local course the other day. Didn't play particularly well. Shot 89, but putted beautifully. It was my first with my new driver, and didn't hit it very well. But made lots of putts.

The real joy of the day is the fact that it was the first time my girlfriend had played with me. It was awesome. I got to work with her on a few fundamentals, but mainly just let her do her thing. She shot something in the 160's maybe, (i can't remember exactly). But on the last hole...probably a 330 yard par 4 straight uphill with a big pond in front of the green, she hit or drive up the right, yanked her second shot probably 60 yards left of the green to avoid the water (her course management is great!) topped the chip shot just barely on the green. Then she holed a 50 foot putt for par. I think after that she's taken up golf hook, line and sinker!!!

    • It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno…. 
    • Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo. 
    • Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.
    • 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.
