81 = 39 + 42.  Had a great round going until the last five holes.  Came in with +1, +1, +2, +2, and +1.  Yikes!  Need to close better than that.

76 or 4 over at my home course . GIR is incredibly low at 33% , however chipping around the greens were superb , where most of them were within 1 Putt length . Ended the day with 27 putts , 13 at the front and 14 at the back . Irons play and FW were a little let down today , but it is a great day of golf .

Shot Even par 72 (34-38)

34 putts, 17/18 GIR

Hit a lot of greens today but the wind was up a bit so it made it difficult to get it close to the pin. I did manage to drop a couple 20 footers and one 10 footer for birdie, offset by a bogey(3-putt) and a double(O.B.) on the back nine. Overall a solid ball striking day, just need to be a little smarter on a couple holes.

Yesterday, Bogey-Free -2, 68. On punched greens none the less!

As I was on hole 7, my 16th for the day, a par-5 that I normally have birdie chance on, I found myself in the front bunker needing to get up and down for par, and that is the exact moment it hit me that I was indeed bogey-free to that point. Well, I hit what was a decent bunker shot, but left myself with 20'. On punched greens I thought it was over at that point, for a second and realized, punched greens or not, I know I can make a 20' putt. I lined up, stepped up to the putt, and rolled that sucker right in! I destroyed hole 8/17, sticking a 6iron to a few feet. Then hole 9/18. This hole has absolutely had my number lately. triples, doubles, bogeys for the last month or so. Solid 3w, solid 9i two putt! Oh yeah, I think this was my first bogey-free round of the year...

Played 9 holes after work today and had the streak going until the 8th hole, Wonk!

Been playing really solid lately, which feels great since US Open qualifying is weeks away...

Had a nice morning yesterday where we basically played at our own pace since the course was kind of quiet due to the threat or rain.

After the first couple of holes, we never saw a golfer in front of us or behind us. I shot a 99, but the hi-lite of the day was seeing my friend break 100 for the first time (he's been playing a little over a year). I always knew that I'd have problems beating him if he ever got a short game.

Was able to manage a 88 today..and it's been awhile..and it felt so darn gooood.  I've been oh..so-close the last few rounds going low 90's.  I just made better contact with the ball and no blow-up holes..well..beside the triple on the last..but 85 or 88..still the same to me.  Kept thinking the whole round to keep it together..no craziness.

Goodfella, try the Vision UV Yellow ball which is a good quality but very visible  ball/

My own round was a modest 93 which as always included a few duff shots, a few miserable bunker clunkers, and a few 3 putts.

Today  I am playing at a local championship course with no expectations - lets just see what happens

A solid 103 for me today :( super windy like 25mph winds. I am too inconsistant off the tee and I just lose strokes on holes. I was in the sand a few times today, which kills me too. Ah well, see if Tuesday is any better!

Had an up and down 95 on saturday (44-51) where I simply lost my swing on the back 9 followed by a 96 today (45-51) on a different course where I burned the edge of the hole with the putter all day.

I need to improve my approach shots badly.  The distance control is there, I am always pin high but in the rough either left or right.  And my chipping has been awful lately.

Shot a 94 on Saturday.  Started terrible.  Drives all over the place, inconsistent irons, and my putter felt like a brick taped to the end of a stick.

The back nine it all came together and I shot a 44.  My best ever for that 9 holes.  Absolutely smashed a couple of drives.  250+ yds and straight.  Irons worked and had no long (40-50 ft.)putts.

With Saturdays score of 43 still in my mind, I head back out yesterday figuring I'll really put up a good score.  I figured wrong.  Grrrr!

Played 27 holes on Sunday.  Shot a 40 over nine holes in the morning, and a 79 over eighteen in the afternoon.  This has been the first time I broke into the 70's.  My lowest round ever before yesterday was an 81.  I had been consistently scoring 82's for quite a few rounds, and had finally broken through.  When I first tried my current irons this year, I was a whole club length longer.  I have since slowed my swing down considerably (feels slower, anyway) and now I am a whole club length shorter that my old cavity backs, but a lot more consistent.  Consistent enough, that I have no issues using the 3 or 4 out of the rough.  The course I play is only 102/33.9 front and 108/34 back, so it's pretty easy, but still......I am taking the 79!

Also, the SuprTri is so much more forgiving than the Tour Burner TP was, so my FW's hit is also up.

yesterday i played the course closest to my house that i've been to scared as a beginner to play but I've been getting better fast lately so i figured id go for it. shot an 88. this has been my score lately but this course is tough. i also had 4 balls in the water and none of them were from the driver. usually i pride my self on not going ob so i felt like i should have been lower. Navy GC in cypress/los al btw.

Only had time for a walk around the par 3 today but I took it as serious as I could, shot a 28. Spent more time practicing than playing due to the slow groups of junior golfers out there. Weird for a school day.

thanks for the tip Chanceman, Ive been playing the srixon trispeed yellow ball for awhile but still have a few issues trying to find them when I play alone, I think I may need some glasses lol.

Went out today and shot an 84, lowest score this year for me. It amazing how weird this weather is. Friday I played in shorts and a polo, 75 degrees. Today it was 45 and had to break out my under armor and fleece pull over lol. I was hitting the ball well all day, and made a 30 foot birdie putt with 3 breaks for the highlight of my round.

No worries Goodfella, call me Chance. Nice putting there - gotta love those long snaky ones when they drop. We had hail, thunder and lighning down here yesterday which like you makes it a challenge.. I shot 92 at Spring Valley which is tougher than  most but alas only a social score so my handicap stays the same. I seem to have got my 5 wood working well which brings the par 5s into range. putting is generally ok but just missing lots of 3-5 metre ones.

    • there will be lots of changes.  i mean, look at newey past, each team fell off a cliff when he moved on i think max is the magic bullet   if red bull loses him then whee are they going for drivers?   lots of young talent but he is a proven winner and i’m sure top engineers love to work with him  
    • I too, like @GolfLug, remember great wedge, iron shots, or my missed putts, more than my made putts. My most memorable recently, would be: #17 Old Course St. Andrews (last year) I had been putting awful all day (I started 3 putt, 4 putt, 3 putt, 3 putt), but found a putting stroke on the back 9 and was 1 under on the back going into 16 and of course I 3-putted it for a bogey. Got to 17 and my playing partner just hit it into the hotel, so I went a little more left and decided to not try and hit it over the hotel.  And as soon as my ball was in the air, I heard one of the other caddies do the chicken noise.  LOL My shot was a little more left than I wanted, about 185 yards, I hit a 6-iron and it was drawing right at the flag.  The pin was just to the right of he bunker and towards the front of the green. My ball hit short (and just missed going into said bunker) and stopped about 15 feet left of the hole. Had a little left to right break and as soon as I hit it, I knew it was in.  Birdie on the road hole, looked at the caddie and said not bad for a Chicken.  Parred 18 (missed 10 foot birdie putt) for a 35 on the back 9 at the Old Course. #18 Springfield G&CC Last year while playing in our season long match play event, my partner and I get the 18th hole needing to win the match to move on into the knockout round.  We are tied going into 18.  A tie and we lose on overall points by .5.  Our teaching pro is on the other team (very good golfer), so we were pretty sure we needed a birdie to have a chance to win the match, I hit on of the best drives I hit all day and had about 135 yards to the pin, but it was in a place where you didn't really want to be long.  So I hit a PW and it landed just short of the flag but released about 12 feet past the hole, so have a devilish putt coming back down the hill.  Our competitors were away and the pro missed his birdie putt by inches, I thought it was in when he hit it.  So after reading the putt, which probably had a 2 cup left to right break, I made the putt to win the match.   #15 Springfield G&CC A few years back, was playing in the first round of the Club Championship (against the previous years runner-up) and my putter was balky all day.  Got to the 15 hole, 2nd Par 5 on back, and was 3-down with 4 to play.  We both hit good drives, both hit good second shots and we both hit decent 3rd shots.  I was about 15 feet and he was just a hair longer.  He missed his putt, I had another slider putt down the hill, with about a foot of right to left break and made the putt.  I birded the next hole, to go 1 down, but not a memorable putt as I only needed a bogey to beat him on that hole, he had all kinds of issues going on.  Lost on 17, as he birdied it, right after I missed mine to lose 2&1.

    • Ok so as of this point the bug persists. We figured out that I can select the tees (gold or blue) manually and it resets the back 9 scorecard to the Lake course, but as soon as I add #10 manually, it automatically sets the back 9 as Ridge and no amount of playing around with the tees changes it. And it still doesn't save #10 when I sign off. Andy from support said he will speak to the tech team about it, but it seems there isn't anything either of us can do at this point. I've accepted that #10 is simply lost. I now have 17 correct holes and that's going to have to be good enough.
