Last Friday I shot 74 (+2) with 4 birdies and 6 bogeys.  Sunday I shot a 60 (-2) on an 18 hole executive course and had 6 birdies.  Both rounds started bogey/bogey with a birdie on the 3rd hole.  I'm on a bit of a roll after a couple months of mediocre golf, we'll see if I can keep it up this afternoon.

Shot 9-over on 9, then threw in the towel.  Need to seriously adjust the yardage book after a lesson and working on lag drills for about 2 weeks.  It was like 160y PW ridiculousness out there...  I don't know how to score with that kind of distance yet, and I'm equally confused on how to dial it back because it already feels like I'm buttering it.  On the bright side, I got a lot of work on 60-footers for birdie.

Crazy day. Was 4 over after 5 holes due to horrible putting. Then managed to make a putt for birdie on #6 and things improved in a hurry. Had 3 birdies and an eagle with several bogeys. Ended up shooting a 74(+2).

86 (45/41), my first time playing from the blues. Pretty happy considering I was +9 thru 6. Had 5 3-putts, which makes me want to vomit.

Went out and was going to make a swing only when I was ready. Did not do that about ten (10) times and shot a 75. Should have shot under par today. It has been a long couple of years to get back to this point. Very happy with my progress in the middle of May.

I played my first round of the year today with pretty good results. I just did 9 holes and I shot a 38. +2 over par. I'm impressed with how good I did. Even though half of the greens were in terrible condition.

91 yesterday... 4 doubles but did have 1 birdie... 3 holes I 3 putted... and hit 3 balls ob off tee and 1 second shot in water... easily could have been mid 80s... but I wouldn't have a 19 handicap if I didn't blow up some holes! One day I will get consistent off the tee... when I do my handicap will certainly improve greatly.

+5 today for a 77.  That is my best round to date.  Boy it felt great.  I was birdie, birdie, par on the first 3 holes.  I had 6 pars on the back 9.  It is such a fun game when you are shooting darts with your irons and are inside 6 feet for your birdie putts.  I know that tomorrow I can follow it up with a 92 so I am going to enjoy the moment and celebrate with a nice bottle of wine and a bbq steak dinner.

Cheers

Shot a 107 at a local par-72 course today. The high score was mostly due to my lack of short game skills today, mostly chipping.

After a week putting and chipping (bc. bad ankle) I played only the first nine today and shot a +2 38 !!! (6 pars, 3 bogeys, 1 birdie) ..... some of the pars were just missed birdies ....... I really have to focus to avoid these bogeys !

Ugh ugh ugh.  Another 49 for 9, which was only as good as that because my irons and short game were pretty much on.  Tee shots and putting were dismal.  Hit 0 fairways, mostly big slices or total flubs.  Had 20 putts, including three 3-putts.  Still, managed to eke out two GIRs, parred the par 5 for the second straight time, and made a lot of bogeys (those are good, btw).

88 on a par 70 (46+42).

Not super pleased -- this round could have been much better, but I let a bad shot turn into a bad hole and then a bad series of holes.  I'm normally good at clearing the mind and moving on, but not today.  +2 through 6 holes, and then on 7, 8, 9, I hit a quadruple bogey, triple bogey, double bogey. On the other hand, I shoot above 90 more than below, and despite not driving to well, I hit several decent recovery shots, so I'm actually pretty pleased with the round.


Stats:

2 birdies

5 pars

4 bogeys

3 doubles

2 triples

1 quad

34 putts

8 GIR

3 of 12 FWs

...and I can't wait for my next chance to play!

    • So the 75 yard 8 iron is probably not something you'd want to use regularly. It's potentially useful for keeping it under branches or if you have a reason you need it to run a lot after it lands, but for a regular shot that will have so little stopping power as to not be particularly controllable. Especially if you have a 75 yard shot with your 54. The shots as you vary distance and club will change in carry/roll, height and landing angle. Really useful to have more than one club for a given yardage for things like skipping it up a tier or landing one softly near the front of the green, but there are limits to that. In general I don't think you'd want to be hitting an 8 iron shorter than your "full" 9 iron distance and so on up the bag. Keep those partial shots to your wedges.
    • Now that we’re hearing that Jim Furyk has been tapped for a second captaincy, I have a genuine question that I don’t have an answer to. Why has my avatar David Toms never gotten a captaincy of anything? Has he ever even been a vice-captain? He’s a major winner with ten other Top Tens in majors. Senior major winner, too. Played on three Ryder Cup teams and four Presidents Cup teams. Is there bad blood here or something? 🤔
    • Older thread, I realize.  I'm throwing the idea of purchasing Hack Motion 3, the older version.   Is it a worthy investment for a 15 handicap that plays twice per week and practices twice per week?    I have to convince my boss!
