short 9 hole course, at Briar Bay in the Falls area in the South Miami area. 31 par, 3,966 yards 35.5 rating, 113 slope Only played 9 holes shot for 51 took only 1 penalty shot, which is great for me.  Only the second time on the course in almost 4 years, lots to improve still though.  Would I have played the course again to complete an 18 I would have averaged out at about 102-105, Huge improvement from my 140 first outing! :banana:

Wow.....just wow.

6450 yds.  71.4/126.

95......yep, a freaking 95.  For those that like the math, that's a 21.2 differential!  Couldn't drive, couldn't chip, couldn't putt.  Absolutely perfect day and a course in pristine condition.

So bad I had to look back at my GHIN history.......I looked back 5 years, from January 2009 on.  It's the worst round that whole 5 years, and only my 6th round in the 90's at all in that time.  I got nuthin'.

All you can do is put it behind you and move on, but a round like that sure is a kick in the gut.

I played the front twice today at Stone Canyon: 72.4CR 145Slope..........35-38=73

I only hit 3GIR on the first nine, but I only needed 10 putts B-)

10-14 Fairways---7 GIR---25 Putts overall.

I didn't do anything spectacular...just kept the ball in play.  I missed a lot of greens today, but the misses were small leaving myself with simple par saves.   I used the same ball all 18 holes....that certainly helps!!

I teed off at 4pm....and finished 18 holes before it got dark at 630pm!!

Played with 6 others who have always beaten me. But today only one managed that and only by one. We had a two club wind and played a course haven't played on over a year. Had a great time and even won a few bucks. Really like that part as well. I think I am starting to be able to "Play well with others" ;-)

Shot a BRUTAL 46/54 100 today.  Only the second time I've played in the cooler weather and my swing felt tight all day, just didn't feel like I was able to extend my backswing or fully follow through on my downswing.  Very poor off the tee and my putter felt like a sledge hammer.  2 pars, 8 bogeys, 4 doubles, 2 triples, and 2 quadruples. 5/14 fairways, 1 GIR, 36 putts.

Ugh, still too early to put the clubs in the closet for the season, although I may just drop the scorecard from this point on and just get some practice rounds in when I can.

Played a new course a couple days ago and ended +20.  I was on fire.. well, as much fire as someone of my ability can be on the front 9 but dropped a giant deuce on the 9th hole and ruined that half.  The back 9 was just a big bowl of blah.  105 slope.

Played a round at a familiar course today and felt like I played much better than normal eventhough my score wasn't earth shattering.  +17, 106 slope.

    • Day 14, April 22.  This morning, before going to work, I took the time to hit two dozen balls (indoors, off the mat, into the net), all with a 6-iron.  As before, this was focused on the pelvis separation and the length of the backswing -- yesterday's video view was encouraging that I'm making progress.  
    • Hey folks, Here's be a better video that outlines some of my challenges.  Any suggestiosn welcome.    
    • 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.
