5 over for 9 holes thanks to a snowman on one of them. Not to complain, but I think it's a badly designed hole. It's a short, dogleg left par 4 uphill that penalizes a slight draw off the tee to the middle of the fairway, but rewards a huge banana slice to the right of the cart path.

I'm at a bit of a loss after today's round.

I played 18 at a tough, long local course and had my best driving day of the year, hitting it very high and long (for me) at about 255.

I hit my irons very well, including a ripped high 4-iron on a long par 3 to about 12 feet.

I chipped decently.

I was in three bunkers and hit 3 very good bunker shots.

I had no blow up holes and no penalty strokes.

And I shot 87.

I certainly could have made a few more putts, but the most strokes I may have left out there is 4 or 5 tops.

Just didn't feel like I could have played much better, but the score wasn't there.

91 at TPC Deere Run. Left a lot of shots on the course, but what a gem of a course it is.

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

I shot a 90 this morning, then I shot a 76 this aftern00n.......the same course!
This is my best ever since moving to Florida in 1987.

41/35 = 76

Even Par on the Back nine....started out with a double bogey on 10, then 2 Birdies back to back, followed later by a 3rd Birdie.

The guys I played with said I had a Reverse McIroy!

Posted
First time ever I shot over 100...Shot 43 on the front and thought I played bad but after a 61 on the back I guess I was wrong! Anyone else playing 6 hour rounds??? We waited on every shot on the back, yes every shot!

I finally broke 90 and shot an 87 from the tips at Olmos Basin Municipal GC here in San Antonio. I have to give credit to Dr. Bob Rottellas' book, and all his wisdom. His approach to the mental game has given me the edge to play the golf I always knew I could.

Rough past 2 days... its been hot, so I've only played 9 holes on each day.

Back to back 49's.

On Friday, my putting was atrocious (not an exaggeration) and really struggled to hit any decent approach shots. My pitching was pretty solid, which saved my ass more than a couple of times.

On Saturday, my approach shots were mediocre, my chipping bailed me out, my putting reverted back to normal (which is to say, didn't three putt and left myself short putts on anything over 15')

I've really struggled off the tee the past 2 days.

And just hit some absolutely crap shots.....

While I am not happy posting back to back 49's, I also realize the rounds easily could have been 3-4 strokes worth if it wasn't for some timely pitches, holing putts when I absolutely needed them, and a couple of creative solutions to some errant tee shots.

Hopefully, today, I get back on track.

95 with 52 on the front and 43 on the back...

We got to the course about 2 minutes after our scheduled tee time, rushed to the tee box and proceeded to play a terrible front 9. Plus the cart girl never made it to us, so no drink to settle the nerves. Went in to the clubhouse at the turn and got some food in our bellies, a jack & coke to settle me down, and cooled off a little. Went back out and shot one of my better 9's (with the exception of a triple on one of the par 3's).

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

Shot a 78 on a Par 3 course. 43 going out and 35 coming in. Tough course, fairways like concrete and greens rough and slow. I'm happy with the score. Every time I go out, I seem to get a little better.

    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...  
    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
