What'd You Shoot Today?


Recommended Posts

Yesterday I shot 33-35, 68, 4 under par. This tied my best round ever. I have shot 4 under 4 times now. The last time was 16 years ago. I'm currently 62 years old. I never was in the 60's when I was in my 50's and I never thought I'd do it again. I played a par 72, 6840 yard course. And, I walked. It was a great day.

it was unbelievably hot today... just downright oppressive...
shot 88...
started the round off with a dead yank and lost the ball in the deep stuff.... managed to walk away with a bogey...
next hole was picture perfect par5... got on in 2... missed the eagle putt but got a birdie...
pretty much played bogey golf after that...
pretty disappointing but a lil better than my last few rounds... starting to get my game back in shape

at my home course

5/5/4/3/7/6/5/3/6= 44
4/4/5/5/4/5/5/5/5= 42

total of 86

fairways hit: 8/14, the driver was great again
GIRs: 4/18, this number is getting over 20% more often these days
GIR +1: 15/18, this number is on the rise too
putts: 32

The highlight was the birdie on #3 when I left a sw 3 feet under the hole for a 4 net 2! Of course the triple on #5 shortly thereafter prevented a really good score. This very cool July has been quite kind to my golf game. I'm sure August will bring DOOM.

81 on a par 70 (38/43). should've been a 77 or 78, but my putting completely fell apart on the back nine and i missed several easy putts and left several more 4-5 feet short, making pars tough to come by, let alone birdies.

Put up an 84 (38/46) at Inlet Golf Club up in the Adirondacks. Had only played the course once prior a couple of years back.

Wedges were pretty decent, made a few key putts.


1 birdie, 6 pars, 8 bogies, 3 doubles.

Broke 80 again today with another 79 . Exact same course I shot the 79 on last time I played, LOL. This time I shot 40/39, last time it was 36/43.

Very consistent play today. I had 1 three putt, and 1 FOUR putt, if I could've eliminated those it could've been a really great round, but I played to a 7 handicap with this round so I can't be upset at all!

Quick 9 earlier and shot a 41. 3 GIR's and only two fairways, but the rest were jut ones that rolled off the fairway. Hit one fairway bunker but had a great lie and could hit 3 wood out of it on a 510 yard par 5. 18 putts, my putting was decent, only had 2 3-putts.

94 that should have been at least an 87. I 3-putted 7 times today and I desperately wanted to throw my putter in frustration by the end of the round. I was missing 3-4 footers that are normally no problem. Other than that and 17 where I blew up a par 3 by shanking my tee shot into a pond, blowing my chip and yes, 3-putting, my game felt really great today! I had a nice birdie on the back nine sandwiched in between 2 pars which felt great.

75

37 front
38 back

4 birdies
3 boogies
2 double boogies

ball striking has improved and short game or up and down percentage improved.

practice at the open field hitting PW, 9, 8, 7, 6 irons helped my iron game and short game

I feel I can shoot under par if I eliminate the boogies

    • As a supporter of the European team even though I chose to live in the US, this is kind of good news. I'm pretty close to Bethpage, but won't be going at these prices. Neither will the crazy drunk NY sports fans who would have made this a very difficult place to play as a Euro. The tickets will go to the city types who are entertaining clients and don't care about the money. Many of them are going to sit there and watch, not get all raucous. I am not dumb enough to believe that this is going to be like a Sunday afternoon stroll in the park for the Euros, but I think it will be significantly more subdued as a result of the prices. Even at $250 I would probably have been watching on the TV anyway so no real skin in the game. 
    • First, it is on free TV. NBC is free to anyone with an antenna, and is on almost any TV in the U.S. with a minimal amount of effort. Charging "a bargain price" would be incredibly dumb. They charged $750 and the event sold out almost immediately. You could better argue they should have charged MORE, not less. What happens if you charge less: ticket scalpers buy up even more of the tickets because they see value: if tickets were $250, they'd clearly have sold for $1k or more on the secondary market. That's tremendous value. Fans would end up paying the same or more, or just not being able to go. Sure, a few who happened to be online at the precise moment on a fast connection and didn't fumble with their credit cards might have gotten tickets for $250, but the secondary market and ticket brokers would have scooped up the vast majority with automated processes and bots and scripts, then re-sold them later on. This way, fans get to purchase the tickets, and the PGA is earning that revenue, not the secondary ticket brokers. Econ 101. Supply and Demand. Nope.
    • Edit - the link has no title, but basically Tiger wants $5 million for each US player to “donate to charity”   They could put the Ryder Cup on free to air tv, and charge the fans a bargain price to get in.  If you have to  give the players $60 million, that’s why the tickets are $750.

    • P7TWs all day IMO. Especially because they're already fit for you. And it sounds like you have an interest in buying/selling so using the Vapor Pros would only decrease their value.
