What'd You Shoot Today?

Recommended Posts

Shot my second lowest score of the year, 82, this coming at the same course where i shot 81 last week. I had a pretty solid day, only one birdie though. I didn't double and bogey that much today either, plus no triples. I actually only doubled the first hole, and after that it was singles and pars. Still getting used to my clubs though, could not hit my driver to save my life though. So i started playing my brother-in-law's Regular Burner, and I smashed a 290 drive withing 50 yards of the green. I might have to trade in my SQ, for one. But my best shot came on the par 5 17th, I hit my 3rd shot out of the green side bunker to within 4 ft for an easy putt for birdie.

Tried some safe play today for a little practise. Hit alot of irons off the tee and a couple 3 woods, and man did it work out nice. It was a little short track (par 68) but it was damn fun playing safe.

Approach was money, had about 6-7 birdie chances, capatilized on about 2 of those. All my wedge divots were landing pin high (if only I could get the spin)

Now my driver sucks. So that is dissapointing.

This morning I played 18 holes on my home course. I shot my best round of the year: 83. I had four putts which I missed by less than 1/2 half an inch (coulda, woulda, shoulda been a 79). Sigh.

9/14 fairways; 4 GIR; 1 sand save; 31 putts.

8 pars, 8 bogies, 2 dbl. bogies.

A pathetic 103 at Williamsburg Country Club. This course has my number. I hit 2 buckets before I went out and hit them all terribly, I don't know if that was in my head, but today was the worst round I have played in probably 10+ years. No pars at all and was slicing or shanking every shot. You'll find me at the range the next few days.

today was an 80 (40,40)

i didnt hit many greens, but my side green chips were great (guess that 2 hours i put in on the chipping green is paying off)

pretty lame round though, 8 bogies - 10 pars :(

yesterday i had the round of my life, 74 (39,35)

so that was fun (4 birdies, 6 bogies, 8 pars)

Decent 77 (39, 38)
Had a guy steal my ball on the 6th hole though. Asked some people that were waiting to tee off on the 7th and said he just picked it up and took off...a$$hole!
I took a free drop, i wasnt really sure what to do according to the rules, but i diden't see it as giving me any advantage in dropping in a fairway so whatever.

Shot 85 Saturday on a 71.5/131. 39 putts. LOL. Actually I guess that's not very funny.

Continuing to hit greens despite spraying it a bit off the tee but not cashing in due to the bad putting streak that I'm currently on.

Shot 48 at Venango Valley last night. Was playing with a couple of "non-golfing" buddies (one of them shot 72 for 9 holes and I gave him a hole in one on the finishing par 5. lol ). I was mainly just working on some things so score wasn't of much importance to me. Hit some nice iron shots....unfortunately they were quite a bit longer than I've been hitting them lately so I had a lot of chips coming back.

I think I've found some more problems in my swing.....the ones that have been killing me this year.

I've played only about 5 rounds of golf this entire season. There have been a few problems, and it's just been impossible to get out.

Anyway, most recent round: 47-36 - 83. Was ready to quit after nine. Not hitting it terribly bad, just making lots of silly mistakes. Was playing with my wife, and snapped at her I was so mad. She gave me a look that made me feel bad for being such a jerk, and I thought "what the hell, I'm hooking, so lets move the ball forward in the stance and stand a little closer." The back 9 was easily the best ball striking stretch of my life. I've scored this well or close to it a few times, but have never come so close to hitting it this well. Hit 6 of 9 greens; 2 misses were in greenside rough about 10 feet from the green, one in a bunker. Up and down on 2 of 3. One three putt bogey, two birdies. Missed a 3 footer on 18 for that bogey, which hurt...I guess the pressure finally got to me. But I've never hit so many straight, flush shots in my life, AND putted well AND chipped well. Birdies were on holes 14 and 16, and I lipped out one on 15--that would have been the first time I'd ever birdied three consecutive holes.

Maybe I shouldn't play any more this season.

Tried playing safe today, just couldn't do it. The course I play at just isn't the course to do that. They are barely any holes that can put me in severe trouble if i Hook or slice, so I didn't mind using the driver all day.

Other courses I will consider playing safe. There is just long grass and I don't mind hitting out of that. Kept it fairly straight anyways. I also felt like an idiot today.. I looked on my Pro V's and what do ya know? A line on it to help align putting... I finally decided to use that thing and started draining a ton of putts, and got closer than I usually am.. DOH!

    • Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
    • Right. The difference between being 120 out and 70 out for me (this is the important part) is negligible and not worth putting other risks into play off the tee.   Ok the argument against driver is that my shot cone is comically large. It puts every possible outcome into play. You can't see the green from the tee so there's a good chance I'd have to wait for it to clear which would slow down play. That's the third tee right in the middle of the firing range there. I really don't want to wait just to hit a terrible shot and I especially don't want to injure somebody. Yea I have no problem playing out of the rough short of the bunker if I'm just going to lay up short of the bunker, but I absolutely need to avoid flaring it right into the penalty area if I'm going to be laying up in the first place. As a general strategy I understand where you're coming from. But since we're specifically talking about me (this is a shot I'm going to have to hit on Saturday), I think the cost is fairly marginal. I hit the ball 8' closer on average from 50-100 than I do from 100-150 from the fairway and rough and the green success % difference is 4%. Bunker might as well be a penalty drop. Based on the data,  Here's my SG:A data compared to a 10: I honestly don't know how to use SG for decision making. That's why I was mostly looking at proximity to hole and green success rate for comparison. I mostly use SG as a way to track my progress. All good. Like I said, I appreciate the discussion. It makes me think. If I didn't want to see alternative/opposing viewpoints to my own I just wouldn't post anything. You should post it! In your own swing thread, of course. It's been a fun exercise.
    • Played my first 2024 round at Pierce Lake. Boomed my first drive down #10 fairway, then slowly slipped into mediocrity. 83 (69.6/131). The high point was going 2 of 4 on sand saves. My sand game is pretty marginal but today I must have discovered the secret for a couple hours.
    • day 34. Technique practice. Became too quick and outcome oriented. need to slow down and work on technique again. 
    • Day 534, April 18, 2024 Practice before lessons today. Priority piece. No sim this time. 🙂
