What'd You Shoot Today?

I shot 9 this morning before work, and had my best 9 ever in a regulation course going: 2 up through 6 holes, with 2 GIR pars and 2 up and down pars, 2 bogies. I ended up finishing bogie, bogie, triple triple, but still shot a 44. Probably my best yet, but if I would not have made a couple of bad mental errors at the end I would have easily broken 40! (Not bad for a 28 handicap). I had a tip from a scratch golfer that I played with to stand closer to the ball and swing more vertical, steep, and through the ball instead of around my back. This has really helped me keep my balance on my long clubs and my slice didn't return like expected (nice draw in most, hooked a couple). Also gained about 25 yards per club. My 9 iron was my 100 club, now it is an easy 125. Hitting 9 instead of 7 into a green makes golf much easier.

43 on a fairly easy course.  Didn't lose a ball though which is nice.  Had some great drives, and two not so good drives.  I just couldn't putt which has become the bane of my golf game.  I can't seem to get the speed down on my putts.  Really starting to drive me nuts, but just need more practice.

33 on a par 32 little course in the neighborhood (one of those was a penalty stroke) - longest hole is 250 - no slope or rating - all holes pretty much straightaway - they do keep the fairways and greens in great shape.  Good players would just treat this as a par 27 course.

Only really hit two bad strikes.  I think my game has multiple personalities.

8 of 9 GIR, but only able to convert one hole to birdie ....  but now getting more opportunities anyway.

Played in my first ever competitive match today. It was high school golf. 9 holes best score in sets of three holes. On a wide open course on a windy day me and my partner beat a guy who was in the finals last year. We scored 2 1/2 points out of possible 3. I myself won 4 of the holes!!

A disappointing 89 on a 71.2/117. Drove the ball well (11/14 fairways) but only 5 GIRs, FIVE 3-putts, and missed 3 or 4 up-and-downs putting from the fringe. Frustrating. I teed up a 6i on a 165yd downhill par 3 over a pond and bladed it into the water. But I hit every shot well with my new Taylor 4h, maybe I should buy the 3h as well. Chipped in from about 30ft to save par which turned things around a bit on the back nine. I entered my brother's scores into GolfLogix, under his name - how do I view his scorecard? I can't seem to find his data.

31 for 9 holes on a fairly easy par 35 side. I went to the course to do some welding on a mower so I decided to play a quick nine when I got done. Used up some luck that I would rather have tomorrow in the money game when I only had a two inch birdie putt on one of the par 3s. Used some more luck when I hit a sand wedge in the hole from 85 yards for an eagle on a par 5 after a bad tee shot and a good three wood second shot.

Don't know if there is any luck left in the tank for tomorrow or not.

I shot a 110! From the white tees 6394 yds par 72. Its the first time I've keep a legitimate score without rehitting my mishits. Hit slices and hooks off the tee with no real pattern. Had a blast, drank some beer, and believe it or not played the best I ever have. I suck right now but I'm getting better. I had 1 30 min lesson 2 days ago and will continue to take lessons. I can't wait!!!

Shot the best round of my life last weekend and it was an 86.  Today I shoot the best round of my life and it was an 85. I can't wait for my 2 day tournament next weekend.  Would have finished better if I wasn't light headed from it being 98 degrees and I ran out of water with 5 holes to go.

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
