What'd You Shoot Today?

[wils0646]

I just shot an 83 on a par 70 course this past Saturday. Ugh. I need to work on my chipping and putting big time. My drives were great and my irons were pretty solid. The short game always gets me and it never stops. I also wish I was playing on bent grass back in WI and not this stuff in MN. It's almost more beneficial to hit it in the rough here.

I shot a 94!! Man it was a long day.

I've been working on my chipping and putting a lot lately because they are usually my downfall but today it was my saving grace. I had some real nice Up & Down saves, plus a few fairly long 1 putts (10-15 feet) that I usually haven't been making.

It was from the T-box to approach that killed me. For some reason I started hooking my driver (I normally have a slight fade), I was hitting my fairway woods left and with top-spin (they would jump about 20yds then dive back to the ground), and I was pulling my irons (not bad but bad enough to miss most of the greens).

So after all of the OB's, hazards and other penalty strokes I think I did pretty good considering.

On a good note, if I can get my long shots back and keep chipping and putting like I did, I might have a record round (73 is my best ever round) coming up soon.

I shot 41-49 ( cough, hack, choke ). Drained a 30 footer for birdie on 10, making me four over with eight holes to play, and I couldn't break 90

89 ... @ http://www.bransoncreekgolf.com/

I was taking in the view on almost every tee shot. This course keeps you entertained.

Shot 76 Saturday, Hit the tee ball out of bounds twice, once with a three wood once with the driver. Put the pipe back in the bag and putted much better, but didn't make anything of any length. No 3 putts though.

Played the back nine on Sunday. Par on 10, 17 and 18. Bogey on 16 and a bunch of others in between. Not good. Hit the ball reasonably well with the driver and Hybrid off the tee. Didn't do much else right.

I played too much recently to post all the scores, but the basics are this:

I shot mid-80s or just under (like 82-85) every day, including some very weird (SkyView) or very difficult (Bethpage Black) courses. I was dealing with, at any given moment:

1) thin shots and a complete inability to hit my 3W or hybrid (largely due to the thin shots, which were worse the longer the club was except the driver)

2) driver pulls or a draw that suddenly materialized after weeks of hitting small fades

Those two things can kill a round pretty quickly. But in the end, I kind of overcame them and shot an 80 after a disastrous start (involving both of the above) at one of the courses the last day we played.

36 38 with a double on 17 :(...played with another demo set though so once i get my clubs fixed hoping to start tearing it up :)

Shot 78 yesterday at my home course. Had an opposite wind going.

36 40 ... at my home course...back nines are killing me :)

77 at a great little course I'm writing up for a review soon: a course called "Candywood" near Sharon, PA in Vienna, OH. Lots of birdie chances, but two or three bad mistakes on three separate holes resulted in a double and two of the bogeys.

In our sunday "BIG GAME" that we play at my home course i shot a 83. Only had one double bogey

[Finn07]

Shot 83 (70.3/125). 42/41. Finished double on 16, bogey on 17, bogey on 18. Besides the last three holes real happy with the round.

78 on my home course. Yupppi !!!! First time I broke 80 since 4 weeks ago (when the shankers came out). I think I'm on the path of recovery

[Wood]

...played well, blew up with 3 doubles, countered with 6 birdies (and one missed birdie from 2 1/2 feet), shot 74. Driver was deadly long and straight. Until this round, I was driver shopping, and may again after a tourney this weekend.... we'll see.

First night of league. I shot a 38. However, par is only 31. It was good enough for Low Net and Gross for the league. I hit the ball very well, but putted terribly. I had two three putts and a third where I took three shots from two inches into the fringe. The greens on this course are very inconsistent and I left myself on the wrong tier of several greens. Distance control was mediocre at best, but contact was soild. Not bad for the first night of the year. My wife and I took all 6 points.

With a 78, dude, you wouldn't have gone 0-5-1 in our little match.

Or, if you count beating that guy and the assistant pro, 1-5-1. Anyway, I shot the most boring 74 I've ever shot. Two birdies - one front, one back - and two bogeys on each side. A few nice up-and-downs. One of the bogeys on 17 was after an absolutely horrible drive (heeled it 70 yards forward trying to hit the ball as hard as I could). I had a tap-in bogey and nearly made the par putt after pitching out, 3W near the green, and a lob wedge. Still, I think the r7 steel fairway wood is going back in the basement and I'm putting the 904F back in the bag. I've played the last few rounds with the Futura Phantom mallet. Not quite ready to update the sig file just yet though.
