75.1CR 141slope 7122yds

Score: 73

9 fairways

9 greens

26 putts

A very good day because this course is a brute........a 73=2 under par for HC purposes because of the course rating.

Definitely a keeper.....

I shot a 90 @ Pebble Creek in Tampa on Saturday and won $16 for a Birdie on #10....and I lost 3 balls!

On Sunday we played Silverthorn and I won $0.50 from my buddy....we were playing 25 cent greenies & skins. I shot an 87, he shot an 88.

Also shot 40 today (+4)

What was really annoying was I knew I could get par today by the way i was hitting with an easy par 5 on hole 8 to get birdie I knew today was the day, but somehow ended with three straight bogey's. ugh....

After a bad tee shot it does not mean the hole is over, it means you have an opportunity to show what you are made of!

The wild ride continues.......................

75.1CR 141slope

38-35=73

8 fairways

11 greens

29 putts

1-2 sand saves

1 penalty

I played well on the front, but never had any good looks at birdie.  I missed 3 greens and made 2 bogeys for a boring 17 putt 38.

In stark contrast, the inward 9 was a crazy thrill ride!!.........1 double, 2 bogeys, 2 pars, 3 birdies, and 1 eagle on a par4!!! (12 putts).........Wow, that was fun!!!

Personal record on my home course. 86 shots (par 72, slope 71,4/127). 2 holes spoiled my perfect back nine (7 pars). I got too greedy on the toughest hole, and it ended up as a 9 on a par 4, couldn't catch a break. Counted 10 pars and 6 bogies. Still, only 29 putts, which is a huge improvement from the 44 (yeah, that's right) putts from a few days ago. Only 4 greens in regulation, but got up and down from most of the places. Everything was solid today, just a few dumb mistakes that i got brutally punished for (out of bounds, hazard and muddy lie). Well, tomorrows another day, wish me luck!

82 at Grand Cypress North/South. Sloppy play. Three doubles. But it was still a great day! Took this shot of the 6th hole on the North course - a real nice par-5 -

Played "Sweetbriar Legacy"  on the 4th of July  (hot hot hot day.)

5th round in 4 years....   took 3 years off of the game for various reasons,  and trying to find my swing again.    Pretty happy with an 88.   4 doubles,  the rest were par/bogey

Played the blacks at  74.1/121   6634 yards,  but a lot of the tee markers were moved up it seemed.

shot a 75 on the same 9 twice. does that count? free replay so I shot a 75. that should really bring down my handicap. wait its only a par 62. well still 13 over isnt bad. oh wait its rated at 58. that should put me right at 17. fantastic. At least I got to golf. not a bad day either. 13 over is still pretty solid. 2 lost balls. I dont know how the course is rated so low. 2 200 yard par 3's and 150 and 170 par 3s. Eat the par 4's for lunch though.

Pretty clean -1 for 9 holes.  Only problem was the one hole I took driver.  Probably too much club, but I never get to hit it these days.  I'm starting to think the stock i20 707 S shaft is too flexible for me.  Lines just aren't very tight, even though it feels great to hit.  Too much spray and pray.....  Drove green with a 3 wood on #7.  Ballstriking is paramount on this course because if you rank the crappiest munis and P&P; courses in the country, I bet it's dead last.  Pretty sad for a course with such history.  You just aren't going to make any putts unless you get in tight.  Greens stimping at maybe 3.  Weeds and dirt everywhere.  Only grass on the fairways was a 3 foot diameter around the one sprinkler head next to the bus stop.  Really hard to putt.  You just have to commit to hitting it unusually hard for 3 footers.  Nice to get out though, and pretty decent weather for July in Texas.

I shot an 87 yesterday at Quail Hollow Golf Club in Wesley Chapel, FL...just 12 miles north of Tampa.

My foursome then played a 4th of July Scramble....we finished tied for 4th out of 15 teams....-16 won and we were -11....no bogeys.

84, 40 on the front and 44 on the back.  I doubled 2 of the last three holes when the heat strated getting to me.  This was the best round of the year for me and also the best day of the year off the tee as I hit 10 of 13 fairways.  Good day putting as well.

86... getting really tired of leaving strokes on the green but that's where it's happening even a 4 putt. The greens at my home course are probably the most difficult in the area including private clubs so I just keep telling myself to be patient I think maybe a round or two somewhere else may reaffirm my confidence a bit because I just can't make anything beyond 10 feet and I know my index is gonna go up some on the 15th but that's okay I probably need the extra stroke.

Shot a 99 (par 72, 67.3/121, 5,700 yards). I didn't really do much of anything well today. Given how I played, I'm surprised there are as many bogeys as there are on that scorecard. Hard to make pars when you hit 2/18 GIR and can't putt worth a damn. :-\ [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/image/id/288308/width/640/height/484][IMG]http://thesandtrap.com/image/id/288308/width/640/height/484[/IMG][/URL]

    • Aside from anything else, the D player gets to play their shot from the same place as the A/B/C player each time. SWAT (assuming it's what I think it is) the D player is playing from D player spots while everyone else is not. Hit one OB in a scramble and you get a go at the next shot. Hit one OB in SWAT and your next contribution will be the next hole.
    • With regard to dialing in distance wedges, I think it goes without saying that you need to have a pretty repeatable swing to start honing in on the numbers...meaning you wouldn't go through this exercise during a swing change or after a long hiatus.  As a not-often-enough golfer, I'm probably a little less repeatable than most of you. But I think I could still come up with some rough numbers once I get access to a launch monitor or space to put in the time. I might just have to remove some outliers where I completely biff the shot 😅 When you're coming up with the numbers for your wedge/swing combination, I'm assuming you take an average of several reps. Just curious how many in each set you're averaging? If you're all over the place, does it make more sense to come up with a small range for each swing? 
    • They have the potential for every one of their shots to count, and thus feel involved. And I think a lot of people use the C and D player shots more often than they think, if only because if they hit a decent shot the B and A player can "go after it" a little (typically resulting in a worse shot overall). When they're chipping for bogey and the A player has a 15 footer for birdie, they've been out of the hole for a little while already. They feel like they may as well not even be there. That's a big difference. I don't love scrambles, either, but they are what they are, and they do involve everyone more so than a SWAT.
    • D players are just as sidelined in scrambles - maybe they hit one lucky shot or sink 1 long putt (putting first, always).    
    • Whoa. I'm a bit behind on my episodes so gotta catch up. Varying distance by +/- half a yard 200 out deliberately is........ well, if it wasn't Scottie attempting it, sounds incredulous. Insane indeed.
