What'd You Shoot Today?


Recommended Posts

Today was my 5th round ever to play and I broke 100. This is still not a very good score but with the 40 mph winds that I had to deal with, I liked it. There was one tee shot that I hit really well (probably going to be about 240-250) but the wind got it and blew it almost all the way back to me.

I am addicted!

First time out in about a month and finally with my own clubs.

Shot a 98 at Balboa golf club. It is an alright Muni for the $. Would have broke 90 but i had 2-3 horrible holes.

55 on 9

only my 4th time out, so I'm quite pleased. I had one hole that I shot a 9 on that shook me up a little bit. Put myself in position for my first birdie on #11 and blew it. Got the green off the tee-seven feet from the cup, then three putted for bogey


Today I shot a 91. I had an on-off day. At one point I went Double, Par, Par, Par, Par, Double, Double, Par. It was frustrating. I really need to work on my short game because on a couple of par 5s I was right around the green in 2 and on one I got a 6 and on the other I got a 7. I got a new putter and it worked pretty well, and I can't wait to get more work in with it. All-in-all a decent round.

49 on 9. I ususally shoot about a 44-45.

The good news is that my buddy just got "fitted" for Callaway balls, droppped a ton of money on them and some new irons, and I still beat him by 7 strokes with my old gear.

Played a two-man scramble. Shot even par. Not bad. Hit some good shots. Playing partner didn't help much.

I haven't updated the post in awhile, but I've been three times in the last week or so. I shot a 42 on Memorial Day. The course was so packed with groups of four, I played the back nine and called it a day.

Last Friday, I played 18 and shot an 83. That was tied for my low round of the year, but it was better because I played the back tees. I started playing from the tips when I got my membership.

Sunday, I played 18 and shot an 82. It became my new low round of the year. It was probably the most consistent round of the year as well, with nines of 42 and 40. I even mixed in a few birdies on the round.

My downfall right now is blowing up on one or two holes per round. I'll be steady for most of the round, but I'll card a double bogey or triple bogey out of nowhere. That's really holding me back from breaking 80. That being said, I feel more confident than ever before because I get to play so much more than in the past. I haven't broken 80 in over a year, but hopefully it's only a matter of time.

As for this week, I'll be heading out Friday and Sunday morning for a couple more rounds. If I play two a week, I'll be happy. If I get in three, that's even better.

Walked 18 yesterday morning at Golf De L in Linconlnton, GA.

It became almost unbearably hot towards the end on the last few holes.

Driver head came loose from the shaft on number 10....made for an interesting back nine.....did okay with the 3 wood off the tee and hit more long irons into the greens.

Went out in 45 and came back in 44. Putted 37 times.

The course is one of the easiest in the area so my score of 89 surely won't hold up on a tougher track like Jones Creek Golf Club....probably 8-12 strokes harder.

I played in a 9-hole 4 man scramble. We didn't do so well, shot 3 under, winners were 7 under. But.....On the last hole, a par 4, from 50 yards out, I drained my pitch shot for eagle and we won a $180 skin! That was about the only contribution I made to the team today though.

I played in the first two rounds of my club's match play championship last weekend. I'm the 3 seed in the 5th (bottom) flight.

We are playing from the Whites on The Knolls (69.6/119, 6436 yds., Par 71)

I shot my career round 83 (43/40) on Saturday. My previous career round was 85, and my previous career nine was 42. 1 Birdie, 8 pars, 7 bogeys, 1 double, 1 quad. 6 FW, 6 GIR, 30 Putts, 3 Penalties. I was giving 3 strokes, and I won the match 5 and 3.

I shot 93 (47/46) on Sunday. 2 Pars, 10 bogeys, 6 doubles. Quite a different round. 8 FW, 4 GIR, 38 Putts, 0 Penalties. I was giving 9 strokes, and I won the match 7 and 5. I hit 7 FW in a row from 6-13, probably my best stretch ever.

I'm in the semis on Saturday giving 6 to my opponent. Finals are on Sunday.

41 (par 31) on my league last night. It was not as bad as it sounds though. I had a tripple on the 3rd hole when my tee shot came up just short of the green and rolled back into knee high grass that was incredibly thick. I should have taken the drop but tried to hit out. I advanced the first but then ended up chunking the next when my club caught up in the grass. It took me 2 more to get it on the green and then I rolled in a solid put for par. I had a bad tripple on the par 4 8th after an OB tee shot. I learned my lesson on the 9th and took an unplayable from the knee high stuff. After the drop I stuck a PW from 130 to 10 feet and drained the par putt.

I played 18 yesterday on a par 60 course and I shot a 73 it was amazing considering the last time I was there I shot a 90 and a 100 the time before that. This is my first year playing golf and if I keep shooting like that I think I just might start to love golf.

Best round of my life yesterday, didn't really feel like it though. I shot 81 (44-37) with 2 gut-wrenching blown 3 foot bridie putts. Oh well, just makes me want to break 80 that much more next time.

48 through 8 holes, rain stopped me from playing 9

Shot a 6 on the par 17th, because a torrential downpour started. I played the entire hole with a 6-iron. Even...."putting''.

Played a practise round today at the course i shot 73. Took a lot of re-shots today, so I didn't count the score, played awful though. Was playing the wrong shots around the greens. Driving was awful!!

    • 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.
