What'd You Shoot Today?

[Andrew Gibson]

shot a 82 today... miserable back 9... 11 over

Par 70. I think its 5600 yards... short. The fairway grass is long and patchy the greens are rough, and small, but what do I expect for all you can play for $10

Had a double and a tripple on the back both because of OB. actually had 2 doubles on the back... i was 1 under on 7 after a double on 2. just lost the swing a couple times and made 2 compounding mistakes... in reality if I could have 3 swings back I could probably have taken 5 strokes off that score... what a game.

Ugh. Shot a 101, or about a +26 differential.

Left my driver and woods in the car and did a hybrid+irons round. It worked pretty well on the front nine, although I got tired of 4I-4I-chip-putt-putt bogeys. The back nine was quite a bit more frustrating, as my swing went south and I picked up a nasty strong draw / small hook that I could neither shake nor compensate for adequately. Did have one nice 200 yard approach with the hybrid that started at the right side of the green and drew back, just slightly over-drawing past the pin, but I also ended up with an OB (by 3 inches....) and lost a ball that I think must have lodged in a tree. That one was annoying because it was almost a nice 7I over some trees, but it drew into the last tree and was never seen again.

Handicap didn't move, though. Need to start practicing more at the range, my swing is leaving me and on-course practice isn't getting the job done.

Shot 100. Haven't broken into the triple digits in a long time. The front 9 was only 45. The back was 55. I put multiple shots in the water or OB, skulled perfect approach lies, and just didn't hit any of my clubs well, including the putter. Also carded my first +5 in a while. On the plus side it was on a new course that was quite enjoyable. I wish I could say it was a bear of a course, but it wasn't. Just bad golf on my part.

I'm still rolling along......

75.1cr 141slope

4th of July: 79

Thur: 75

Fri: 75

I'm trending a +0.5!   Playing the back tees has made a big difference for me because I'm shooting the same scores from tees rated 2.6 shots tougher.  Instant HC reduction......

what a difference a day can make... or some needed practice on the putting green shot 79 and won a little money at my mens club friday gathering. I have a 7.6 index but my course handicap is 10.

You play tough courses

I can dig it.....

Hit the ball decent.  Just didn't score.  Missed a 6ft birdie and a 3ft par putt.

Got to play a course out town today, a real treat for me. Idabel Country Club - 67.8/118  Front nine- 39/ Back nine - 56

Played with a guy I work with. He doesn't play by the rules. I think he was amazed at what I shot on the front. I have played this course years ago but never shot that good. The front nine is a real "course management" kind of lay out. I only used my driver off 2 tee boxes.

At the turn his son-in-law showed up to play. This guy would not shut up, blah, blah, blah....He really should have been playing from the front tees, but he had too much pride. During the 10th hole I got rattled by his constant blabbering, par on 10 thankfully, but I let his mouth get men rattled. After 10 it was bogey, triple bogey, double bogey, and then carded a 15 on a par 4, par, par, double, double. I tell you this guy wouldn't shut up. I said something to the guy I work with, but he never said anything to "blabber mouth" . Out of respect for the guy I work with I didn't say anything to the kid, I wanted to tell him shut his mouth. None of the guys I know play by the rules, want to play by the rules, or have any kind of desire to work at getting better. Vanity is more important than putting in the effort to get better.

I realize I'm faced with the decision to keep on playing with them or not (I know the answer) I'm taking this as a lesson in mental fortitude, which obviously I lack in. I might have my wife come with me while I play and have her talk constantly about shopping, shoes, Avon, what she wants to do with her hair, etc....this might help me get mentally stronger, because I know there will come a time, in a tournament situation that someone does this blabbering and I want to be ready......

Played 9 holes yesterday. It was a hot one. Day started out pretty rough, after hitting my drive on the second hole, my driver shaft snapped in half right between the head and ferrule. This was only the 3rd time I've used this driver... Had to finish the round with the 3 wood, luckily I hit it fairly well. Putting let me down too, nothing wanted to drop...just wanted to burn the edge.

Ended the day with a 45 (+9) and a task to find a new driver shaft.

[Golfingdad]

83 ... on a par 72, 70.8/128 (w/ Beachcomber)  Did not hit the ball very well today, but made a few putts to save some pars.

[Roblar]

45 + 45 for 90, and I would have been really unhappy with it, but I played the 18th so well that I left the course with a smile.

[meenman]

An ugly 103 (55/48) at a course I had never played before. We were definitely back one too many sets of tees for the first 9 (the course is 3 9 hole courses where you get sent out on 2 of them), but those same tees played well for our back 9. 8/14 fairways, 2 GIRs , 36 putts (2 3 putts) and a few lost balls.

Been playing crappy all year and out of nowhere I shoot a 69 today, 6600 yards.  Third time I've broken 70 and first time in almost 3 years.  Betcha I'll be back in the 80's next week.  Gotta love this game.

[SloverUT]

Super stoked about my round today.  This was only my 9th round of Golf ever.. just recently started playing.   I played 9 holes and shot a 41 on the front 9.  Fairly easy course over all so its nothing to special.. but I was very happy with pretty much every aspect of my game.   Drives were decent and straight, approach shots were fairly consistent, and short game was the best to date.

Other than a guy hitting onto my green and about knocking my head off while I was putting, it was a great round!

[David in FL]

80 with 3 doubles. Ugh.....

[Bennett]

Played this afternoon, shot 6 under (66) with 1 bogey. :-D

[gloomis29]

Played a "practice" round this morning with some buddies at a course where I could potentially be playing in a tournment in 2 weeks, shot 92 with 5 penalty strokes and only hit 1 fairway....it was hot but my swing was not good today, but 3 of the 5 penalty strokes were on balls 5-10 yards max off the fairway that we could not find - dang cow pasture course!  An outing behind us kind of kept us on our toes, other guys in my group had the same issue, oh well, its only 1 day!

[ApocG10]

Played a brand new (to me) course today. Pqar 72, slope was ~128, I think is what the card said.. Anyway, I shot a 5 over 77, and had a great day. 11 fairways hit, with 13 GIR (including the Par 3's), and 2 up and downs for par. I tripled the 6th hole, which was a horrible blow-up, and bogeyed 11, and doubled 15. Only one birdie, on 13, but for my first time there, I am not too upset, aside from the blow-up on 6 and the double on 15, I played fairly well. Had I not sunk my Tee shots on 6 and 15 though, it would have been a much more satisfying round. Going to play there again on wednesday afternoon. See if I can card a few more birdies this time, and keep my ball away from from the bath.

The worst part was, the blow-up on 6 was my own fault. I knew that I had to carry 270 yards to cross the pond, and I knew it was my absolute max carry on a perfect tee shot, and I came up short. Had I layed up in front of the pond (my 3h would have put me right where I needed to be), I would have had a 135 yard 9 iron to the pin, and would have par'd the hole. But stupid me went for the long drive and came up short. I know better for next time, anyway.

My dad shot a 92, which is damn good for someone coming off 4 months of chemo and treatment for cancer. All around, we had a great day, but im still upset about sinking that drive on 6.
