putting was meh, one 3 putt the rest 2 putts

+3 on nine. Putting started off rough, striking was great. Finished the last 6 holes at -1 with a couple of tap-ins for birds. Found every fairway and 8/9 greens.

+4 on nine today. Putting is coming around slowly, but the head needs some custom shop re-work to get the weight right. Stringing together 7-hole runs at par or better, but can't keep the nasties off my card yet. Driving the ball a ton, two holes running parallel, one with the breeze at 315 on the GPS, the other into the breeze at 285 for a nice average carry+roll. Converted 1-birdie out of 4 inside 10 feet. Not great. Approach shots and putting need to get sharp on the holes I'm shooting par on. Course management needs to improve on the others. Just the start of the season here though :)

I didn't play today however I did play about 12 days ago. I played a course called Soldier Hollow Gold Course. It is where the 2012 US Amateur will be played. I went with a couple of buddies of mine and we played from the Tips. The course is 7600 yards long and I shot an 85. I would have shot better however the greens were just sanded a few days prior and so it was tought to get a feel for the greens

Got to manage a nice 34 on a nearby 9-hole-par33 course. -2 on #5, -1 on the last hole (200yd par3) and only made double there *grml*

It didn't start off too well (triple bogey 7 on the 1st hole ) but I was able to pull it together and finished the front 9 in 42. Back 9 was almost as good - with a 44. Doesn't happen every time out but it always feels good to break 90!!

88 (42/46) @ Centennial. I completely imploded on 17, from tee box to the cup. Had a little trouble with my 7W on the front 9, but it's still my best club. Funny sidenote: My wife went with me and fell down in a sprinkler puddle on # 10. She didn't think it was nearly as funny as I did.

-1 on the worst golf course I've ever played. We embraced the suckitude of the course, though, and had fun.

Ashamed to say this:

104 on a par 72

Been playing 93, give or take a couple of strokes, for a consistent few weeks. Today shot a 50 on the front and 54 on the back, something I haven't done in a few years. Three pars on the back nine, and only 30 putts on the day, but my tee shots were all over the place today, and several 7 and 8 scores found their way onto my card.

Bloody ashamed of myself.

84 (41/43) @ Rarity Pointe. Double Bogey was the worst of any hole, but I didn't cash in on 3 birdie opportunities, either. Weather: 78 deg. + No wind + No clouds = Perfect.

    • Day 133 - Played 9 again. Driver was great, putting was better, but shots inside 100 were awful. 
    • Day 36: 15 balls, same as last few days. Then a little indoor putting.
    • hey guys, sorry about the kind of short notice, but i'm not going to be able to make it to the outing this year....  
    • Had to correct the distance - should have read 5,400 not 5,500  yds. 
    • Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.
