Played 9 at Black Bear, shot a 45 then stopped keeping track of score as I really wasn't feeling it today (cold, blustery day)

Then played 9 at Cascades at Crystal Springs (new track, just opened up in 2009) so open, such a fun course. Would love to play there again soon.

Then hopped on for a quick 9 at Wild Turkey. New favorite course everything was so perfect...every fairway, every green. I parred 4 straight holes at one point...kinda sad I wasn't keeping score for those.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

42 on 9 today in the wind and cold. Best 9 I've had in about 2 months and probably the last time I'll play this year as it's supposed to get down in the 20s this week.

47 on the front, 42 on the back at Wild Turkey.


Followed a group that must've believed they were on the PGA tour because they took a good 5-7 minutes EVERY green and EVERY tee box. The round took 5 hours and their group was on carts (and had no idea how to use them...) On a Saturday in July, yeah 5 hours is fine. On a Monday in late November, no. The ranger even warned them but to no avail. Killed any kind of momentum I had going.

As for my play...I had 4 3-putts on the front which absolutely murdered my score. Parred, birdied, parred to start the back though which was nice.

I shot a 40 today on 9, it was really nice out (75 degrees) and I had alot of fun, had a birdie, a few pars and a few bogeys. Played with my dad and my friend. Overall it was a pretty good round.

Recently retired from the US Army, so I have finally decided to try to get into playing golf. Played at a SIDS benefit and shot a 110. Had a great time and now trying to figure all this out.

Played with two good buddies and made a few friends on Sunday.....first time to swing a club in months since the back went south.....shot an ugly 85, hit tons of fat and thin shots....did piece 3 great shots together on a shortish par 5 to make eagle, made my day, for some reason the putter was hot......also, uttexas and senorchipotle went with me for burgers afterwards.....good times, thanks guys....

Today at the 17th hole: I hit a okay Driver shot and just missed the fairway. Then I hit a so-so hybrid shot followed by an awesome 60 yds shot - on green!

The ball went in with just one putt and I cried in elation - first birdie in my life! Oh wait, I looked at the scorecard and realized it's a par 4, not par 5.

Failed...

I am still waiting for my first birdie.

46 on the front 44 on the back.


Not a pretty start at all. Lost a bunch of balls and almost thought about giving up before heading for the back but glad I didn't. I strung together 3 straight pars at one point then a gir on a par 3 but 3 putted stupid overly fast greens for late November.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

    • I don't think the coupon code SPINAXIS will save you 5% on the discounted version 3s, but it's worth a shot. I'll also note that we do not get an affiliate revenue from this - we specifically had them turn that off for us. So I'm not recommending it because I'll make even a dollar if you do buy. 017: Wrist Angles and Feedback with HackMotion | The Spin Axis Podcast - Golf Coaches Discuss Instruction Modern Techniques and Technology That said… I recommend the HackMotion with the mid-level package if you are at all interested in working on this part of the golf swing. (The mid-level package also gives you putting — Core, Plus, and Pro are the levels). I have a bunch of 3.0 sensors that will be deactivated here soon, and my 3.0s will be "deactivated" when my 4.0s arrive. So, I wonder if I can sell one of the 3.0 to you inexpensively and if you can just activate some level of software at a discount (since they won't have to send you any hardware, pay for shipping, etc.). I used a HackMotion today in a lesson, in fact, and on myself only recently.
    • Day 16, April 24.  Lunch break, went to putt, 4' and 6' drills.  4' drill, it took me 40 putts to sink all 24;  not great but it's not terrible either.  I'd like to be able to consistently do that drill in under 36 putts (and then I'll aim to do so under 30).  For 6', it took me 56 total putts, and the 4:00 one was the last two to fall, having missed it every go-around until the last two.   So at least I finished the drill, unlike a few days ago!
    • Day 27: played the 9 hole par 3 with the kids. Didn't score great, but struck the ball well, so that's a positive. Need to work on finesse short game shots.
    • Thank you.  It seems I do need to get better at hitting full (or as full as they will be) shots with the wedges;  I feel I have a lot more distance dispersion with those than I do with the mid-irons.  That may also be a practice issue, and I'm getting off-topic.
    • I think he was at some point (5-6 cups ago) but DL III beat him to it and then at some point it was too late. If I had a vote, he would still get it.
