77 at Idylwild Golf Club, Sour Lake, Texas (71.6 / 123). Drove the ball well except for one freakin' pull hook OB! Putted and chipped well, irons were not so hot. If you need me Monday, I'll be on the range working on my irons. I think I am going back to my fade. Reached 2 par 5's in 2, 2 putt birdie on one, 3 putt par on the other. 9 fairways and 9 greens.

Shot an 85 at Brown's Mill (70.9/123)...which I would usually be happy with but I just felt like I gave up so many shots that I didn't have to at all. Hit 9 fairways!...4 GIRS ...one double...four pars...one birdie. Drove the ball so well with a few getting out around the 300 mark...actually hit my two best drives on the first and last holes. Carried a bunker on #10 (first hole) that I have wound up in a lot...and hit a drive on #9 (last hole) which was about 10yds short of the bottom of the elevated green...hole is 345yds.

Shot my personal best today and go figure it's my first time out with my driver that is spec'd to my swing. I hit more 300+ yard drives today than ever, and they were straight or a draw when planned.

I shot a 73 at a par 70 mountain course. My previous best at this course was an 81. My putts were falling, and my approach shots were better than normal. =]

In other words, I had a great day and my new driver gave me a new found confidence.

More stats from the scorecard:

Birdies - 3
Pars - 9
Bogeys - 6
Doubles - 0
UGIR - 2
GIR - 8
Fairways Hit - 9/18
Putts - 28

I shot a 107 on Friday in the 92 degree heat. I've still played a full 18 less than 10 times.

The big feat was that I scored my 1st birdie on a 380 yard par four. The drive was about 240 then I hit a 7 iron towards the back portion of the green and sank my birdie putt. I was playing by myself so I was able to do a little extra on the celebration end (think someone doing the Deion "Prime Time" Sanders TD dance back towards his cart!).

86, at the same course as last week's 85: Woodley Lakes. 45-41, but wow, what a different back nine 41 that was compared to last week's.

Remember that snowman 8 at the par-4 10th? Parred that sucker today! And then I bogeyed the 11th and 12th, compared to par-birdie last week. Anyway, I didn't have a real meaningful run of pars - in fact, I had only two consecutive pars and only 6 total the whole day, but only two double bogeys and nothing worse than that. And nothing worse than a 5 on the back nine! How cool is that to look at a scorecard and see 4s and 5s (sadly, no 3s or 2s, but I can deal with that) for nine holes?

I played an Executive Course in Solana Beach, definitely the easiest course I've played yet, and shot a 71 (56 is the par). It's an awful score, but compared to Reidy Creek, which is my typical par 3/ short game hangout, it was a great score... hahaha. Man there are so many questions I want to ask but I can't create a thread, I'll have to keep looking for threads that are on topic to stuff I wanna ask....

38. I had a few chances to save par on a few holes from about seven feet away, but I am changing my putting setup so I am having trouble making those...but I putted really well regardless. Hitting everything solid.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
