112 (59/53) on saturday, 113 (61/52) yesterday and 107 (55/52) today. Not that it affected scores but intense fog saturday morning and some of the slowest play I've seen in a long time the last 2 days.

95 today. Not bad for a newbie. I was able to straighten my slice with my driver some by closing my stance a little. My putter was nowhere to be found. That's where I need the most practice at this point.

What I'm hitting:

XL 5000 set: includes driver, 3 & 5 wood, 4 & 5 hybrid, 6-PW, and sandwedge


I shot a legit 95! My first time breaking 100. I shot it at http://www.minorparkgolfcourse.com . It's an easy course but it helps my confidence. If my short game was better and I didn't have all those 3 putts on the front........oh my, what could have been!

Shot 102 yesterday during a 4:40 minute round. Just a bad day all around. Everything went wrong, I lost focus, and then it just got worse. Very humbling day.

9 days without playing was not a good thing. Really struggling off the tee lately...getting into a lot of trouble. A lot of pull hooking going on....switching to hitting the 3w for a while.

Saturday - 47 on the front & 43 on the back.
Sunday - 43
Yesterday - 44


Shot a 77 yesterday. Not a bad score for me but could have been so much better. My putter really lets me down. Front 9 I shot even par but had 3 birdie putts in the 4-7 foot range and missed them all. Back nine, I shot 5 over missing several short par putts. Going to put the Odyssey belly putter back in the bag today.

85 yesterday... Im in a horrible ballstriking slump. However, I practiced and tried some new thyings after my round. Then before dark, I walked 1-3, which are the hardest three holes on our course, and I went birdie, bogey, par. so maybe I've figured something out. I'll walk 9 after school today and see what comes of it

Shot a 91 yesterday.....it's an improvement. Since I've been playing consistently I've been all over in the 90's. Every time I play, something is off, whether it be irons or chipping, something ruin's my round. I can say this much though....no more 90's...I'm getting my head together and putting all this crap behind me.

Very disappointing stuff today, first tee shot was a cracker as well. Did not play good at all and although it was gale force winds - I should be able to hit the ball decent in those conditions.

Most disappointing for myself was lack of hitting greens on par 3s, always too short or a few scuffed tee shots, out of the 5 par 3s on the course - I scored 2 3s and 1 4 and 2 5s.

Last few holes were a huge improvement so get back on that horse as they say. Shot a 100 overall on a par 73 course. I don't know about you guys but once I play poorly I just want to get out again and play again, maybe go later tonight for 9 holes

I played twice in Sunday. The first round was an ugly 47 at White Lake Oaks. I started tripple, tripple, par, double. I did hit some very solid drives and managed to play the last 5 holes 4 over after the 8 over start.

The second round was better. I shot an 8 over 39 at Heather Highlands in a make up round for my Wednesday league. I did sputter down the stretch finishing bogey, bogey, bogey, double and bogey. My wife shot a best ever 45 and we took all 6 points.

Wish I could've played today, but It's thunderstorming here and I have to finish a project for school.


Tomorrow brings a new light though

I played great today. The entire season I've been struggling. Today, everything clicked. I've been spending a ridiculous amount of time on my game (practicing for about 2 hours and playing for about 3 hours) for the past 3 weeks. It's finally paying off. I didn't hit one bad shot today.

To cut to the point, I shot +2 37 ...This is one of my lowest ever. I had previously been shooting 42-44 the past few weeks, this was, I hope, my coming out party...

I was due.

I shot my best round ever today. I've been playing roughly a month and a half now, and I shot a 75 at a par 68 course today. 9 Pars, 2 Birdies, couple doubles which killed me, but hey, I'm happy =]

I drove the green on 18, went off the back of the fringe, skulled a chip and went to the other side, and chipped in for birdie - my shot of the day. =]

86 on Saturday, 92 on Sunday, 87 on Memorial day, 90 yesterday. I am making more pars than ever. Still making a few impulsive bad swings every now and then. But I am narrowing down my bad swing causes. I think they are

1) from the tee at par 4s over 420 yards.
2) everytime I try to reach a green with my three wood.
3) Long irons played without regard to the lie. Impulsive..just insufficient thought.
4) my fancy for my 60* wedge. I have resolved never to hit it from the fringe again.

Shot 42 on the front 9 at my local muni. Pretty good score considering that I played from the blue tees (7294 yards with 3616 on the front). It helps my game to force different clubs into my hands than I am accustomed to.

shot an 80(9 over) today. Swing still feels great scores are consistent but really am craving consistent 70's. However, the 9 over today is bringing me realistically close to getting and maintaining a single digit handicap.

    • 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.
