Bad day.

Took a quad on a Par 3 (my first score of 7 or higher on any hole in about a month), flubbed a couple chips and didn't make anything on my way to an ignominious 91.

79. Granted, it was on a par-61 executive course. There were a lot of ups, but no downs; 39 of those strokes were putts (and that's not counting Texas wedges). My swing is grooved in with my irons and wedges, but I consequently can't hit my woods and hybrid to save my life right now. In summary: rubbish off the tee, rubbish on the green, passable in between.

hello everyone. first post here.

shot 45 walking the front 9 at my home track. played one ball which is always nice. threw away a perfectly good opportunity for birdie on the only par 5 and instead made bogie. was laying 2 at the front fringe and decided i'd try to chip it close. bladed one across the green, flopped it back on and two putted. could have easily two putted from the original location. oh well.

Score - 87 (42/45) on a par 71
FIR - 12 (5/7)
GIR - 7 (3/4)
Putts - 39 (18/21)
Putt Length - 45' (26/19)

Even par through 9 is my best.  I don't even want to think about what was my worst.

Shot a 53 out and a 59 in. Not great in most golfers eyes, but I'm happy with it. I'm playing Hagen Irons, Maxfli Black Max Driver, Odyssey White Hot 330 Mallet Putter and Nike Mojo Balls. I know I can shave a lot of strokes off my score with more practice. I love the feel of the clubs in my bag. Very happy with them.

Hey everyone, this is my second post here and I am really excited I found this site. Last time out I shot an 86. I have recently purchased a new set of X-22's (4-A) and I love them. I shot a 44 on the front nine and a 42 on the back nine. I hit two of the par fives in 2 but sadly walked away with only one birdie.

Well, I just recently started playing again (been playing on and off since I was like 8 years old) so my wife and I headed out to a local course here and have played about three times this past month.

First week - 52 out, 52 in totaling 104
Second week - 57 out, 47 in totaling 104
This past wednesday - 52 out, 45 in totaling 97 - best I've ever done albeit 26 over par... lol

I had a hard time getting started yesterday: 50/49 (99). I was 3 over for the last 6 holes. Got in my groove too late!

Over the past 3 years I had played like 3 times, but want to get started playing again. I went the other day and while I had some good shots, I had some total duffers also. Can't hit the driver for nothing, but put a 9 iron in my hand and I'm fine. So much of it will be practicing to get a game back.

I shot 35 yesterday on nine holes. I don't get to play much golf these days.

I had played just three rounds this year until I played two rounds in Myrtle Beach with my kids recently. First time I've played either course. I shot a 69 at King's North, and a 70 at "The Witch". I was pretty happy walking away with two under par rounds at courses I had never played. That makes five rounds this year. Woo Hoo !

    • 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. 
    • Day 78 - 2026-03-10 Backswing work at the net with foam balls, a few real ball swings.
    • Day 525 - 2026-03-10 Got some work in before lessons today (was going to play after but it decided to POUR). Then like three minutes in later on.
    • Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
