Shot fairly well today, and was lucky enough to get the round in before the thunderstorm hit. Shot an 85 (41/44) with 2 really poor holes (2 triples). My putting was very solid today, probably the best its been all year.

Shot 85 after doubling 2 of the last 3 holes.   Was still a much needed return back to my pre-heart attack type of scores.   It always feels good when the GHIN program gives you the alert that says "Score is outside of normal range for golfer"  8-)

last time out 41/51  time before that 51/43.  not sure what to make of that i.e.  lack of endurance after nine, or finding what works after nine.  Last time I also started out in heavy fog not that it has anything to do with it unless it made me a little more cautious.

Practiced a two man scramble with a friend of mine, we're playing a friendly competitive round as a team on Saturday, so we figured we could use a tune up. Shot a 37 I believe.

41 (+5)

1 double

5 bogeys

2 birdies

1 par

Two shots i would classify as pulls, so the starting line for my shots is slowly going further right. My bogeys were really mishaps on short game shots. Butting a 40 yard wedge shot over the green into a bunker, duffing a chip, Things like this really adding strokes onto my game, grr.

Shot a +4, 76 on a 6400 yard par 72 rating 71.  I chipped in my only birdie.  I hit some good shots, and some bad ones, but could not putt today.

The most difficult distance in golf is the six inches between your ears.

Shot an 84 at Pheasant Trail GC tonight. Temp 106 at start with winds starting 16 mph gusting and swirling. No 3 puts or birdies but some great scrambling. Overall good play but must say just fair driving.

105. 51-54. This is my best round yet! I've been getting lots better recently. Scores finally going down. This was a strange round, too! I had 1 Par, 3 9's and the rest bogies, doubles and triples. Only 1 3-putt. ZERO GIR, 1 Fairway. It's concerning to me that I didn't hit any greens, and only 1 fairway. But also encouraging that I had so many bogies and still shot my best score. It definitely didn't FEEL like my best round. But I did have a good stretch of 5 straight bogies in there.

Third round of our match play championship and it started out ugly. Was down 6 after 9, proceeded to take 4 out of the first 5 on the back with one split but was eliminated 3 and 2 after 16. Comparing it to my first 2 rounds, I did run into a hot opponent but the blame falls on me. First 2 rounds averaged 12.5/14 fairways - today I hit 1 out of 7 on the front (finished at 7/14.) Final score was a 98 (53/45) - the odd part about this years tourney was that in 3 rounds, i did not get a single conceded putt (first 2 rounds I was up too much to have an opponent give me one and today I was already finished the hole when my opponent was drilling in his 20 footers)

    • I enjoyed the distance wedges episode. It's something that I've not really taken the time to figure out for sure, but I went to a local trackman place over the winter and tested my four wedges (PW, AW, 54, 58) and got four yardages with each one. I am using Dan Grieve's method - you have a 1, 2, 3, and "full". The number references the number of clubhead widths between your heels.  I never really got to grips with the clock method - I'd find my 9:00 one day would go 40 yards and the next day 60 yards purely based on how fast I happened to swing it, but I couldn't turn that off and I was basically at sea with the speed method (Wesley Bryan does this - he takes almost a full swing for a 15 yard chip). The Grieve method I set my stance width and that really limits how much my swing moves back and forth and the speed seems to be naturally more consistent.  Anyway, I wound up with four yardages for each club - PW 48, 80, 112, 127; AW 41, 73, 101, 112; 54 36, 57, 91, 98; 58 28, 47, 81, 86 So, in order, I have 28, 36, 41, 47, 48, 57, 73, 80, 81, 86, 91, 98, 101, 112, 112, 127 which gives me a pretty good set of numbers. I do have a big gap from 57 to 73, but I can do a 2.5 58, which is giving me about 64. Then as they noted you can give it a bit more, or grip down on a club too to adjust a little bit. It's really useful and very freeing to just know what to do. When you have a 54 yard pitch, rather than pulling my 58 and thinking how hard is 54, I can just take my 54, do a "2" swing and just grip down a little and I'm in decent shape.  Incidentally, Erik talked a bit about watching Scheffler picking off his yardages to within a yard. I've watched DJ do that too with his wedges. Scottie does it trying to hit it all the way up to like 200 exactly with a 6-iron and he's hitting it 200.5, 199.7, etc. Absolutely mind blowing how good his distance control is. Insane.
