84.

Which usually I wouldn't be concerned about, but, I had 41 putts which included eight 3 putts

Missed 1 fairway, and 6 greens. New swing is far more consistent

Yeah, I had an almost identical half-round yesterday... 4 3-putts and shot 42.

Shot a 47 yesterday over nine holes. I was even bogey for the first eight holes, then I fell apart and tripled on nine. 1 par, 6 bogeys, 1 double, 1 triple. It's still the best score I've shot over nine holes.

88 at Keystone Ranch, first time to play mountain golf in a while. Amazing how far the ball flies up there but greens are tough to read. Piled up the strokes up putts.

83, with taking a 9 on a hole (tournament round so no ESC for the final score, although it will post as an 81). So close to breaking 80. A lot of other shots I left out there, but that 9 really sticks out.

A good day +1 37 on front of 70.9/125 16 Putts-GIR 7/9 77.8%-FIR 5/7 71.4%. Not my best score on that course but definitely the best I've ever played it. I shot a 36 there but I had some lucky putts for birdie that day. Yesterday besides the double I made on a par 3 I was on. I missed two makeable birdie putts so it's one of those what could have been scores. I don't think I had any putts longer than 15 feet. Which kills me to think I 3 putted that damn par 3 after missing the green.

One of my goals this year is to break 90 on the 4 easier courses of Bethpage and then go after Black.  Last year I opened with an 86 on Yellow, this summer I shot an 85 on Green then an 84 on Blue.  I've played Red three times this year (once from the blues) and have bounced around in the 90's.  Yesterday, a 90.  The hunt continues; it's a beautiful course.

First round of golf in over two months... here I was trying to play MORE golf this year.

Anyway, shot 96 (51, 45) which is a lot better than I expected to do. Looks like setting up my backyard net is helping me stay in game shape.

Dreaded 3 digit number :-( .  I shot 52+53=105  @Summitpointe 6331 yd 71.8/136

Lame excuses:

- Wind was just swirling.  Crazy mountain winds.  Many shots just drop dead

- Walking at very sloppy course.  Trying to catch up with carts.  Had to abandon a couple of tee shots even though I know they are not dead

- Half of first 9 hole greens were being aerated with sands everywhere, not to mention pine leaves, debris

- Not excuse but biggest contributor to strokes.  Poor shots everywhere and lack of stamina.  Losing concentration is another.

Played like shit today

+9 45

chunked about 4 irons today, just flat out hit way behind the ball.

Swing is a bit out of sorts today, work to be done.

Well I did a 93 on my home course, 70/118, 6295 yds. Took my Muzzys out for a spin first time this year, they did fine. then I got behind Gollum fishing balls out of the creek on the back nine...and lost my will...well my ADHD kicked in. screwed up doubles on 2 holes...and let Gollum get a couple holes ahead. Finished par, bogey,par,bogey ,bogey....Precious!....

Played six holes and was even par. Made a birdie on my first putt with the new putter.

Out last night for a weird one 46. Can't remember the last time I carded two 7's. I felt like the guys in the 300 yd drive thread. I hit 7/9 fairways on the way to abysmal iron play. Though I haven't input my stats yet I don't think I hit any overly long drives. Actually bladed a wedge over the green twice on the same hole. I swear I heard some old folks sitting on their patio laughing at me.

First time playing 9 in 2 weeks. Shot 40. Started off terrible, bogey on the easiest hole on the course followed by a 3-putt bogey and then double on the easiest par 3.

Had a blow up hole (snowman) and a couple of just dumb shots today. Pretty windy here in Oklahoma today also which made iron shots very interesting. I am working on standing a little more upright, and that seemed to help a bit today as well. I feel it kept me from swaying so much. Still trying to get used to key new irons as well, but really liking them!

    • 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.
