I shot 80, 40 on the front, 40 on the back. I am well pleased with that because the wind was about 20MPH with 30-40MPH gusts. If I could drive the ball better I'd be dangerous, but I guess if we had this game whipped it wouldn't be as fun....

83 in a 1 day qualifier. Hit 11 greens but only 4 fairways and 39 putts! 4 fairways is misleading because a few of the par 4's are drivable for me so I don't really try to hit it because it's further away from the green.

Played 27 on Saturday, shot a 96 the first 18 (+14 on front, +10 on back), and then shot a 43 (+7) on the back nine, one day I'll figure this game out. The knee was hurting the first 18, but then numbed itself out for the third nine.

Shot an 83 yesterday. Felt decent about it due to the incredible winds and cold temperature I was dealing with.

Waiting for summer...

Our course is par 71. My handicap is 18 but i can rarely play to it. If i can get 5 pars in a round i am pretty happy. My game recently has gone to hell, dont know whats happening. Help!

Typical Chubbs fashion yesterday: 34 + 43 = 77.

Was actually really happy with how it turned out considering i've been battling a really, really bad pull hook swing with the tendency to hit it really fat. Focused a lot on spine angle and hip turn. Also, course had 3 temporary "greens" (ie. the pin stuck into the middle of the fairway 20 yards in front of the real green). And wtf, the beer cart closed at 2pm!!!!

I had a boat for 6 years and sold it last May and started playing golf again, but I have been playing horrible. I'm trying to tell mydelf that it will get better and to just practice and be patient. I was a 9 handicap years ago, but am playing to a 16 right now. I've only been out 6 or 7 times this year and as I stated previously....I have been playeing horrible. I hit some balls last Sturday at the range and then went out and played 9. Well, I played the best I have this year and shot a 40. I hope the the few adjustments I made are correct and can continue to play better.

Last time out (2nd time this year) I hit a 51. Had a good start with bogie, par, bogie but then came the dreaded Kafoozles on the next three holes.
Played for about 6 years, took about 5 years off from the game and I'm now back into it for about 3 years.
Way too many golf books, way too many lessons....
But this year I'm going to break that 40 barrier for 9 holes! ... ... I , ... think... ... .. . . .

Shot a 43 in my league last night with a freaking 9 on one hole. I haven't had a 9 on a hole in 13 years!! My second shot on that hole I topped it so bad it went backwards. My short game was pretty good though. 15 putts.

Shot 84 yesterday. Hit the ball well but couldn't putt to save my life. Green had just been air aerated and sanded which made them a little bumpy but it was my bad pushes / pulls that got to my score.

6 Fairways, 8 Greens, 33 Putts with 4 three-putt bogeys and missed 4 other putts inside 6 ft that would have been up and down for pars.

88 (43-45) on last friday. It was a haul, not to mention that 25 mph gust of wind that popped up out of no were. Alot of 3 putts, a couple lost golf balls, bad short game around the green. But there is hope, i hit two of the greatest 4 irons i have hit ever. Flush, dead center, one on a par 5 that gave me a shot for eagle, another on a par 4 when my drive clanked off a tree that left me about 220 out, great par. Its just a mix of really bad and really good. Typical when you finally start learning to swing in balance than swining on your toes. The only thing harder would probably be changing the grip.

Just got back into golf, and got some r7 clubs and 07 Burner driver a couple weeks ago.
Went to a new course and played nine.
Quite a few mistakes, but left pleased with my drives and mid game.
Need to get the short game fixed, putting wan't horrible, just need to be closer to the pin to keep them manageable.

85 with two penalty strokes and two chips that lipped out of the cup. 69% fairways hit too, which was a record for me since my driver has a mind of its own.

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.
