What'd You Shoot Today?

[Cleveland Gunmetal]

It kills me to hear you guys talking about just playing golf...I don't know what I would do if I had to wait 4-5 months to play golf.

Yeah... tell me about it. Not only do you have to wait all winter but then almost relearn the damn sport. Takes me some time to get comfortable with my swing. And forget the short game, it takes me at least a few rounds or so to get some sort of feel back around the greens. I was hitting 30 footers 15 feet the other day. Ridiculous. Now it'll rain for a couple months... OK, I'll stop the sob story. I hate NH and want to move to Florida.

What did I shoot today? Nothing, it's too cold and rainy. I'll play Tiger Woods golf when I get home and let you know how I do.

No kidding! My wife wants to move back to Michigan where she is from. I am a desert guy myself, I don't like the cold one bit. I don't think I could live someplace where you put the clubs away for the winter months. Christ, we had the largest snow storm in history here and it closed the course for 21 days. I almost went nuts! Good thing the courses were still open just south of us so we could go there for a couple of rounds. My wife will find herself single again if she moves to the cold country.

My best score so far this year has been a 44. But I shot a 47 yesterday.

[CG031]

45 today.

[BritBoy]

3 under on the front, 5 over on the back....... what the hell!!!!!

[lamebums]

49 on 9 holes...could've been better, could've been much worse. It was 30 degrees and windy as hell. My hands might as well have frozen off as I'm trying to swing the club.

Topping a three iron is torture when it's cold.

[CG031]

Shot a 43 today. My best ever.

For the first time ever, I broke 90 on my home course - I shot a 89 (44/45) from the Whites (Par 72, 70.0, 127). The 35 putts could be better, but I'll take the 89 !!

I played a course in PA today, from the tips (blue tees, when i play with my dad, since he's a 4.5 handicap, he forces me to play there lol) and shot a 50 on the front, and a 44 on the back..I was 4 over for 7 holes, but blew up on the last two. lol...

So, I was pretty happy overall to break 95, and it could've EASILY been 50/40...

[Just Blaze]

32 on a little 9-hole pitch and putt down the road. Should've been a 29 if not for a couple of skulled wedges.

[lamebums]

46 on 9 holes. It would've been 36 if not for all the skulled/shanked/topped wedges.

Finally, I get to post a score in this thread!
Played Eagle Ranch in Invermere BC.
Shot around a 93. Greens were in great condition for this time of year.
Weather was outstanding. It was a pleasure to swing some new clubs.

I shot 74 yesterday at Honey Bee Golf Club in Virginia Beach(my home town). Par is 70, and the course plays 6075 from the tees I played, and the slope is 126. I had 4 bogies and 5 pars on the front, and 3 birdies, 3 bogies, and 3 pars on the back. What a rollercoaster. It was windy and the temp was in the high 50's. It's very fun course. I highly recommend it if you are ever in the Hampton Roads area.

Cold and windy, highs in the 30's and I shot 49 first time out this year. Company golf league really needs to start a bit later, when the weather is nicer.

Played Wed. 4/11

Score: 40-46 = 86

Overall I'm happy with the score but not happy with how my round ended. Plus this course is not that difficult. I was originally only planning to play 9 holes after work but with snow in the forecast the next day (and yes, we got it) I played 18. I walked 18 and played the back really fast as I was dealing with darkness so my last few holes were incomplete... you know, I would have two putted that, I would have gotten that up and down but not that one. So I guess you could give or take a stroke on the back nine. At least the flags were in every hole

Played great on the front considering this was my second round of the year. But I started spraying the driver way right on the back... something I fought all of last year. Very discouraging... I know it's a swing flaw that I have to work on. Also still trying to get the feel around the greens.

Hit the hybrid more this round and for the most part I hit it very well.

[lamebums]

42 on 9 holes...but the course was only 2700 yards from the white tees, so I don't consider it a great achievement.

38 + 43 = 81 (2.5 hours/twosome - 1st off)

The front nine was a dream...driving, putting, and chipping was consistent.
The back nine was good too except for 3 loose long irons (2 5's and 1 6i) that ended up in 3 bunkers. All 3 were plugged lies (not fried egg - PLUGGED- it rained the day before) and 2 of them were side hill plugged lies. The two side hillers I ended up with 2 doubles (I tried to use a 9iron to tomahawk them out and they came out about a foot forward and rolled back into the sand trap) and the regular plugged lie was a bogey...talk about a buzzkill.

Besides the 3 crappy bunker holes, I was happy with the game. The putting today was so satisfying...back and forth finishing toward the hole on line without any tension. The weather was overcast, very little wind, and around 70 degrees. I might have to get a hall pass from the wifey for tomorrow!

45-43 = 88

This is how strange golf is... I'm much more satisfied with my 88 today than I was my 86 the other day. From tee to green I played pretty well but didn't made anything with the putter. Also, the conditions were very difficult. It was in the mid to upper 40's for most of the round with strong winds. What the hell, I play in this or I don't play at all.

Got a lot more work in with the new wedges and by the middle part of this round I felt very comfortable with the new SW. The LW is another story... Around the greens the CG10 is amazing, soft feel and easy to spin, on longer shots I'm not as convinced. Very pleased with how I hit off the tee (driver, 3W and hybrid), actually I hit the Halo probably 4-6 times (various situations) and can't think of a bad one.

Some really bad weather in the forecast for the next few days so I'll have to take a little break.
