What'd You Shoot Today?

[Roblar]

92.  I followed every good shot with a miserable one.  My putting was fine - irons terrible.

[liquor box]

I had my best round ever, I shot 75 off the stick which was 9 over par on a short course with cored greens.

I had never been in single figures over par and was 10over with the last hole to play.

It was a 348m slight dogleg to the left a little bit uphill which is the second hardest hole on the course.. I hit my hybrid off the tee and smacked it dead straight to 146m (range finder distance). This left me with an 8 iron to go. there was a slight breeze from the left of the green which  and I aimed at the left edge of the green and hit it sweet. It faded with the wind and looked like it was going to be close to the pin.

Due to the slight uphill slope as I walked towards the green I could not see the ball and assumed it had rolled off the back.

As I got close I was pretty happy! I was about 2 feet from the pin and sunk a simple birdie putt to get to 9 over.

This is probably my best played hole ever, I would not change a thing.

I am now off 15 so I dropped a stroke today.

For me, this is a no-brainer!  If I am directly behind the offending group with open holes ahead........I skip right on past!  If they won't let my group through, we go AROUND!

Sweet Brown said it best.... "Ain't nobody got time for THAT!"

Just in case you don't remember SWEET BROWN...LOL

[David in FL]

6610 yds.  71.1/121 home course.

77 with TWO DOUBLES, a bogey, and 15 pars.  Really just one bad swing and one somewhat unlucky unplayable lie, barely off the fairway, that led to the doubles.

Worth noting for the "ball-striking/GIR vs short game" discussions.......  I Hit 11 greens.  Didn't really putt horribly, but certainly not well .  Had 5 birdie putts under 10 feet and couldn't get any of them into the hole.

Played yesterday and shot 87 (45-42). Couldn't putt. 6 GIR's and only three pars and a birdie. Couldn't get up and down from close off the green 0-3. Won large groups low net 71 and took cash. Unfortunately came out on short end of drinks and pupus (appetizers)

On Wednesday, I played at Palmetto Golf Course, CR 70.3/123 slope.  I shot a 107 not bad, continuously improving which is what matters. This course isn't where it should be, the fairways are not the best, the greens on the other hand are really good, not fast and not slow, just right! I like the course, it's near home and has treated me very good.  I am still having issues with my long game while my short game is becoming very good.  Most of my chips are near the hole and I am 1 and 2 putting regardless of distance to the hole.

[markmckinstry]

10 over 32 points

[hacker101]

Shot a 40 on the front, it was a par 36, 5 par's 4 bogeys. Only able to play 6 holes on the back over booked course again and got dark, but a this was a par 23 I shot a 26.

Bad part is my son will be trying out for school at this course so we will be playing it again for the next couple week.

This was yesterday.  Would have played better, but was unable to warm up and hit balls.  Haven't swung a golf club very much lately.

Very odd round on Saturday. I can't remember the last round I played when I did not make a single par.

Hard to break 90 with no pars, but I shot 44-44-88. 2 doubles, 2 birdies, 14 bogeys.

[dfreuter415]

Played River Forest senior tees - temperature started at 40° and had a high of 50° with windy conditions.

39-41 - 80  (9 pars and 9 bogies with 30 putts)

Had to use the leaf rule 3 times. Even though I lost 3 balls, I found two, so I was a net loss of one.

Had a 95 Saturday and same course 81 today. Actually played 27 jogging and walking. Did them all in 4 hrs. Weather was awesome and had to get in as now looking freeze, wind and freezing drizzle.

[Roblar]

Third round over 90 (91 today) in a row.  ....Hubris has come for me -- I was certain I'd be 80s at worst after I played a round in the 70s a few weeks ago.

[flopster]

par 72 rate 72.5 slope 135

front 39 back 39 = 78

I think I'm going to have to have some lessons on just putting, I had 3 birdies on the round but missed at least 5 other very makeable birdie putts as well, my ball striking is really coming on and I'm just feeling more confident now than ever before.\ just knocking down flags these days. There just seems to be something missing in the way I'm seeing putts and or routine, but I just know I can putt better than I am right now I know I have good touch it's just not finding itself in my stroke.

[David in FL]

Played in a charity scramble at the local goat pasture.  Veteran's Day......Toys for Tots.  No way to turn it down.

The usual mess.......2 decent players, one 18ish hcp, and one guy that hadn't touched a club all year and was carrying 20 year-old Wilson Staff Blades......including the butter knife.  Shot 63 and didn't crack the top 5.  55 won, on overseeded greens that hadn't been cut yet.  Right.....

God, I hate those things.......  Nice day to be out on the course rather than at work though.

[peteraleman]

I went back to Palmetto golf course yesterday, shot a 103, 2 stroke improvement on the same course.  I am really happy about that. My drives were descent but on the last few holes I just started slicing it and couldn't figure out why.  I finally got a par on a par 3 and had 2 GIR which I am super excited about.

[Bobtrumpet]

(Actually on Monday . . . )

Shot my best ever 18 hole round - 86. 44 on the front 42 on the back. Lots of pars, no birdies dropped, too many doubles and a triple (with an OB). Course was Pecan Hollow Golf Course in Plano, TX ("Player's" tees at 68.9/118). I haven't really played since the end of August (and not well then), so I was very pleased.
