What'd You Shoot Today?

94 (46+48).

Disappointing score, but a fun day. I hit some good shots to go along with the bad ones.  It was windy, so I actually got a wind-assisted drive that went just over 300 yards! (I normally only get 240 or so on my better drives.)  ...ummm, I won't tell you about the drives that went straight into the wind though (but they didn't even make it to 200yds!)....

Rough day for penalties: I found water seven times - twice on the same hole (ended up taking an 11).

My putting wasn't good (36 putts: two three-putts, two one-putts), but it was inches from being great -- usually on my bad putting days, it's terrible.

I need to learn how to play better in the wind.  ...good thing I live in Oklahoma, I guess...

74, Bayou Din (Old Front / Back), Beaumont, Texas.  Hit everything except the putter well today.  Missed birdie putts inside 15 feet on holes 1 thru 3 to set the tone for my round, never found the stroke after that.  Hit 12 fairways, 15 greens, no birdies.  Teeing it up at Belle Oaks in Port Arthur tomorrow hoping to putt better and maintain the ball striking.  Fall Classic Individual Tournament next weekend at Bayou Din and Babe Zaharias.

Another lousy round - 100 on the button. Haven't had a good round since early July. Hurt my back and took a month off but definitely not swinging anywhere near normal. Started seeing a trainer to work on the core to strengthen that area and avoid more problems in future. We'll see how that works out. Anyway, Season's almost done, hoping for better things next year.......

80. Unlike the other day where I needed par for 79 on the last hole & made double, this time I needed par on the last & made bogey. Had a simple up & down from the fringe & couldn't do it.

Just finished up my club's member/guest tournament yesterday. Overall we did well - finishing 3rd (out of 6) in our flight.

Thursday we treated our practice round as a true practice, familiarizing my partner with the course.

Friday, we started out right taking the first match 6-4, got crushed in the 2nd, 2.5-7.5 (ran into a hot guest that played over his head.)

The 3rd match Friday was the toughest - we had the lead until the last 2 holes and ended up losing 4-6 to the eventual flight champion (they did not lose any of their 5 matches.)

Saturday, we destroyed our competition and played as a true team - when one was off, the other was on. Took the first match 7-3, which was only that close because my partner hit the wrong ball on the 3rd hole. I was glad when this match ended - our opponents father/son bonding time was definitely nothing I wanted any part of between the club throwing and the growing animosity between each others poor play.

We took the last match 7.5 - 2.5 which was actually a closer match that the score indicated - 7 of the holes went down to the final shot.

We took our flight's day money on Saturday.

This was my first member guest that I had ever played in and look forward to it again next year. Between the tee gifts, beer, golf and food, we got much more than our moneys worth. The other aspect that was new to me was playing in a flight where so few strokes were given out - the combined handicaps from all of the teams was very close.

+5 on these over seeded shag carpets they call greens. Kinda weird watching your putt weave back and forth as it rolls towards the cup. Oh well, they'll be really great in a couple more weeks.

Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

    • Back in my Army days a "gooch" was a particular part of the anatomy. Example, say Okeechobee is the b-hole of Florida, then Belle Glade would be the gooch. Seems he wears his name well.
    • I can't say that I remember a lot of individual putts, but I do have one specific memory.  The first time I played the Old Course, I had hit a pretty good drive on the 6th hole.  I had about 60 yards left, and due to the swale in front of the green, there was no chance of flying a wedge on or near the green and having it stop on the green.  My caddie recommended either a running 7-iron chip or a putt, and I took the putter and a pretty hard swing.  The ball rolled over humps and through hollows, disappeared into the swale in front of the green, and re-appeared heading right at the hole.  I ended up maybe 12 feet away.  The caddie turned and held out his hand to shake mine, and said "Now THAT was a golf shot!"
    • For the first time since 2021, I made a 3 on the 12th at Stoneleigh.    395 yards, something like 80 feet uphill, I hit a solid drive and a 7-wood to inside a foot.  Even I couldn't miss that one.  I feel like I haven't played a lot of golf this year, but I'm making decent progress.

    • I've never understood the handedness thing, I'm a righty and have always worn my watch on the wright wrist 😬
