Another "bad" 76 . Hit about one or two good shots beyond 80 yards. Good thing I can putt. This would have been a 79 last year, after all.

43-39 for an 82. Pretty abysmal front 9 until I birdied the last, it's a 450 yard par-4 so always nice to get a birdie there. Played much better on the back 9 and left 3 putts on the lip, couldn't complain as they were all in the 10-15ft range. One 3-putt all day on the first, so all in all pretty satisfied with my days work.

Second round today, a 74 at Lake View . Was perhaps my most boring round of golf ever played.

Started off well today, then fell apart, must not have even broke 90, Really didnt try on the last 9 holes. Everything was wrong today, shoes didn't feel right, couldn't find my glove, spent 15 bucks on a peice of shit Nike glove that is poking my hands with velcro and stabbing into the webs inbetween my fingers, to find that I found my glove in a pocket I never put it in, got a severe foot pain on 13 from these new shoes. Big pain in the ass golf today.

rant over?

Shot an 81 at Bridgewater Golf Club over in Lakeland, Florida. The course was short, but fairly difficult. Several large deep bunkers surrounding each green. Kind of a links-style course, or at least as close to it as we get here in Florida.

I shoot an 80 my best 18 ever. 41 on the front nine and 39 on the back nine. I played very very well, even though I wasn't hitting my driver great, I hit my irons and wedges as best as I ever have. To top it off 8 greens in regulations helps a lot.

I played 36 yesterday with two different groups of guys. In the morning I shot a mediocre 96 and was pretty dissapointed.

The second round I was pretty tired and not in the best mood as I was expecting more from the first round. Then it began raining right before we were about to tee off on 1 so we had to head back and wait it out so then after another shower we finally got underway. I played the first half of the front nine awful and then the second half mediocre for a 46. On the back I picked it up alot and made abirdies and 4 more pars to go along with my 3 on the front and ended up with a 40 for a new all time low of 86 !

I am very happy about this especially since it was a pretty hard course and the fact I shot new low but I felt that I could do alot better and could have at least shot an 80 or 81 if I didnt play the front bad.

So next time here comes low 80's !

With an ear infection:

Figured golf was a good way to get the pain out of my head.
Played 9 holes. Shot 42 which is really good for me. Hit 5/7 fairways. Missed the green on both Par 3's. Great driving, ok irons, ok chipping, better than usual putting.

43 putts and 8 penalty strokes certainly did not work in my favor this afternoon. See what happens tomorrow.

I threw my clubs into the lake so it's time to start over...

45-47 for a best ever 92. What's worse, is I four putted two par 3's that I hit in regulation. Sigh.

I never broke 100 before this summer and in the last month and a half, I have had four rounds in the nineties. The Sand Trap works!

43-37-80

Didn't play bad on the front, but lipped out a birdie and two par putts, but got up and down for a couple of pars and a bogey that helped. Missed a 5 footer for birdie on the back that would have put me at even on the back 9.

    • 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?
