Another 91 (71/120 rating).  9 on a tough par 5 hole killed any hope of breaking 90.  Made 4 long putts which was highly unusual.   Chipping was off which led to 33 putts even with making the 4 long putts.  3 GIRs & 50% FW hits - back to my normal.  I continued with gripping down by 1 inch on every shot.  It's helping my game to stabilize after a 2+ month slump.

Doubled the easiest par 4 hole after a perfect drive.  I had only 90 yard approach shot left.    But I saw my wife's 2nd shot hit a small bird and injured it fatally.   I ended up needing 5 more shots from 90 yards to putt the ball in the hole.

36 on front of 70.9/125. An eagle, 2 birdies, 2 pars and 4 bogies.

Even par (9 holes) and it's bittersweet. Without a doubt the best I've ever played, much of it luck I assume. Though I was -3 through 6 holes. Anyway we had rain again and when the sun finally came out at 5PM we scrambled to make plans. We got there late and turned out others made the same bull rush to the course.

This could be the longest post ever so I'll make it quick. Slow play prevented us from finishing, we made it through 11 before it got dark. My partner's tee shot on 12 disappeared into the dusk light as the sun went behind the mountains and that was all she wrote. I played those two holes even as well.

Home course, Canyon country club, shot an 88 but score wasn't important. Finally got to play with my 20 yo son who hasn't wanted to play for 2 yrs. so we had a good time and enjoyed our time. We walked and just enjoyed.

AK,

Went to play a new course, Chardonnay Golf Club in Napa, CA.  Did 98, mainly due to 39 putts.  Some of the greens were very long, easily 60 - 70 yards.  And it seemed holes were at the other end of where my ball landed.   That translated into three 3 putts, and one 4 putt and I average only 31 ~ 32 putts per round.   My handicap soared to 15.

As the name suggest, the course is inside a Vineyard.  I sampled some grapes (assumed it was Chardonnay) while playing.   It'd be much sweeter in about a month or so.

Made one birdie and two bogies this morning for 16 holes. My wife and I had to skip holes 6 and 7 because of the idiots that jumped in front of us.

We were the first group on the course so it should have been clear sailing all the way through but a group decided to start on the fifth hole as we were on the 3rd tee box and there were groups on the 1st and 2nd behind us. Not uncommon on that course for (good) players to do that (especially singles) but usually the ones that do can play without holding anybody up. This group was the exception and were just teeing off on 6 when we got done with 5 so we skipped to the 8th.

A filthy 91.. I hate tree's.. Especially when you find them after originally going OB off the tee on the same hole... But a couple birdie's and a share of the "2's" pot for a having a 2! 6 doubles, a triple, 2 pars and a bunch of bogeys.. Pissed though after shooting sub 80's multiple times this week.

Shot an 81. I was 2 over through 14 of the 18 holes, and the other four i pushed my drive one million yards into the right woods. 7 over through the 4 I lost my tee shot on, 2 over through the other 14.

Shot a 103 today, and saw my handicap index shoot up a stroke as I continue to be unable to break 100 with any consistency after being in the low-to-mid 90s for most of the last half-dozen or so years.  I have never had a hitting slump like this before.  My 60-year-old body with the arthritic hip simply refuses to get its weight over to the left side with any fluidity and naturalness. Lessons don't seem to be helping.  Is it time to just throw the clubs into the trash?

AK,

Did 87 at Willow Park (68/120, par 71), Castro Valley, CA.  This is my 2nd time playing there.   1st time was a disaster - a 97.  Hitting 9 out of 13 fairways helped.  The rest of stats were 2 GIRs (bad), 28 putts (good), 1 birdie, 4 pars, 2 doubles, and a triple (ugly, on handicap 18 hole!).

Met a nice couple whom we got along very well.   The lady hit a deer with her 2nd shot.  The deer was about 40 yards away and the ball made a loud thump noise when it hit it.  That must have hurt.   On the same hole, my wife hit another deer in our 1st round two weeks ago.

Shot a 62 for -8 at Bay Hill Club & Lodge. I'm experiencing pain in my right hand from too much golf lately, so I decided to play a round on Tiger Woods '09 (Xbox 360 variety). Now if I could only keep from spraying my 370 yd video game drives into the rough...

    • I don't remember a ton of favorite putts (maybe I need to make more) but here's two that I do remember.  18th at Kyber Run  We had been playing a 4v4 Scramble for $25 a guy and it had been absolutely pouring the entire day. Talking like 4+ hours of non-stop rain, but we had this money match planned for a while and the course was happy to take our greens fees. The foursome we were playing against was the group in front of us and they just finished and were watching us come up 18 from under a pavilion out of the rain. We thought we had a 1 stroke lead going into 18, but they had birdied 17 to tie things up. They parred 18. So they knew we were tied as we played 18. We had about a 35 footer straight up the hill for birdie and by this point water is starting to pool up on the green. I'm the last person to putt in the group, step up and hit it about as twice as hard as I normally would from that distance, water is spraying up behind the ball as it's rolling, ended up being perfect speed and drops in for a birdie, giving us the win and not realizing why they were so shocked about the putt until we realized that it was for the win.   12th at Talamore We had been playing 2v2 best ball and our opponents hadn't been playing great as we had a 3up lead through 8 mainly due to their mistakes rather than our great play. I went on a bit of a heater, holing a 10 footer on 9 for par to win the hole, birdied 10 after hitting a wedge to 12 feet and pouring that in, birdied the par 5 11th after hitting my 3rd shot to 4 feet to put us 6up with 7 to go. Par 4 12th, pin is front left and I am on the green back right after hitting a great punch slice recovery shot from the right trees. I had 50 feet left for birdie and was just trying to lag it close, it ended up going in the hole and I walked it in for my 3rd straight birdie and ended the match right there as my two opponents just shook their heads and my teammate was cracking up with laughter.
    • Why you young whipper-snapper you!😋 To OP, I have no routine, I eye-ball up to half wedge (40-60 yards) most days. Only time I am somewhat deliberate in checking is distances to clear hazards.    
    • Well, I just got back from 7 days straight of golf in Las Vegas.  I've played all three courses at Paiute Golf Resort. Normally I say that the Wolf course is my favorite, but I do really like Snow Mountain as well. I'll say this, all three courses are really great there. You can't go wrong by playing Paiute.  Then I played a tournament at Bear's Best. Been playing that tournament for like 15-16 years now. We've only been at Bear's Best for the last 10, before that we were at Prime Valley. It was a great tournament. For some reason my head fell off during my Saturday round to take me totally out of contention. I also hit a piss-poor tee shot on the 4th hole of the horserace to take my partner and I out of that.  I hit some really great shots during the tournament. But you don't win tournaments by hitting great shots. You win tournaments by making low scores. Which I simply wasn't able to do.  It was great, and now only 357 more days until next year's tournament. 
    • One that comes to mind ... #2 Jasper Hills GC, par 3 Naturally this one was to save par.  Hit two awful shots to find myself on the very front of this fairly large size green. The hole was in the back, left corner with a decent amount of right to left break. I'd only be guessing what the actual distance was, but it was easily over 50 feet. There was so much bend on the back end of the putt that it just seemed really unlikely until the last few seconds when it broke back to the hole, hit the stick dead center and dropped.
