Babe Zaharias GC in Tampa.......Seniors tournament called The Two Joes, commemorating two past golfers.

I shot a 42/44 = 86 with one Birdie for 23 points. My average was 21 points so I was +2

The winner was +10 with + 6 second.

Weather was fabulous (low 80's).

Great time was had by all..........7 of us split 13 pitchers afterwards.

83 front 43 back 40  par 72 rate 73.7 slope 137 posted 7.8

1 birdie 8 bogies 2 doubles 7 pars

Had to start shotgun cause of frost delay but started great with a gorgeous 7 iron on a par 3 from 168 to 5' and canned the putt, then I had 6 bogies and 2 doubles over the next 8 holes. :doh: Then play the next 9 at 2 over, sometimes I just shake my head at what goes on but it was an absolutely beautiful day no clouds no wind really to speak of and it probably got to low 60's. What is more worth mentioning is one of the guys in our group shot 66 with 7 birdies. He listed as a 1 hdcp and I wonder what index at the slope I play at he would be. Can't win a skin to save my life though the one birdie I had only one other person had also and it was the guy in my group (he cut a lot of people today).

79, in 9* Celsius (balmy 49*F) Dec 15 on a mucky course (not frozen, no snow). Not many east of us playing golf, unless they are quite a bit south of the 49th parallel, so we enjoyed our special status, here on the glorious west coast. Ya gotta strike ball first or it is fat-city. Putts are struck firmly (!) and balls check up without too much persuasion. It was sooper.

44 on front 9 Sat with 3 doubles. It was a little challenging with snow on the greens but amazingly I didn't hit any snow with approach shots. Didn't even face a shot where preferred lies came into play, course was mostly clear. The doubles were due to being rusty more than anything. All were the result of errant drives, one resulted in a lost ball in snow to the left of a fairway I typically don't miss. It was just poor decision making and not being tuned up to pull it off. Twice I tried to take advantage of the conditions and hit longer than usual drives, went for the green on a 333 yard par 4, not smart.

It's 16 degrees and snowing. My wife and kids went cross country skiing around our house, and I shot another crow. Reading this thread keeps me motivated.

After the round was just messing around on a few holes hitting some wedges from about 115, hit one in the cup. :-)

Sunday first time ever from the blue tees to shoot a 39 on the front 9 par was 36.

The back 9 shot a 40, par was 35 again this is personal best for me to card a 79 on a par 71.

The course was Meadowlark one of my favorite course's, it is not the hardest course but it is a lot of fun to play in Huntington Beach.

Weather was great had to be in the 80's so shorts and a polo, tee time was 11:45. We got put with two other guys but for the most part it was just me and my son, a lot of fun that day!

Finally broke back into the 70's again with a 78.

Based on my driving, I didn't deserve it. Any course that punished you for missing a fairway would have had me grinding to beat 90 instead of 80.  That said, I hit the recovery shots, chips, and putts that I needed to.  Really fun day.

I hadn't posted in a few days, but last week I played at the Biltmore Golf course CR/SLOPE 68.2/115.  I hit a 101, I was doing great, but shanked 3 holes which would have put me in the mid to low 90's. It is what it is!

Played nine holes at Southern Gayles over in Athens, Al. today and it wasn't pretty. Only 3 pars and 5 bogeys until the ninth hole where I finally made a birdie.

Pretty much played army golf all day. Left followed by an over-correction to the right with almost any club until the last couple of holes. Maybe another nine and I would have been better but who knows...That's golf.

Played yesterday and shot a smooth 100. 43 putts. Rough and greens getting ready for the Sony Open. Guess I'm not ready for the tour.

Santa Anita Blues. . . 44/44. 70.6/122 played by summer rules off the real blue tees, played with my kids. Had a great time. Wasn't even trying all that hard, and I felt my green side playing should have been better.

87 :poo:

Just a really,really,really bad day,

This round was over so fast, I was 10 over after the first 7 holes.

I know the course is tough 73.4 slope 139, but I just played like total crap and the worst part was I knew I was going to have a bad day after the first tee shot and that usually doesn't happen, I have not had a good round now for over a month. I think I may just go to an easier course for a few rounds just to get some of my confidence back.

    • That makes more sense thanks.  I'll give it a go.  That other video really helps.  Will post another video once I practice it a bit and appreciate the help as always.  
    • Day 25: range and putting session. Worked about an hour at the range. Filmed a bit - think some progress but need more. Then went and worked on putts within 10 feet for about 20 minutes.

    • Day 45 (22 Apr 26) - good friend wanted to play the Weds shootout. Glad we did as I had the most consistent round in a while - 38/41 for a 79 (first sub 80 in months): 27 putts, 9 pars (7 were up and down 1 putts), 8 bogies, 1 birdie and 0 dbls or worse!  This is the 1st full round where I’ve not had at least one dbl (or worse) and 0 penalties.  I also came 1 hole from having “no sixes” (bogied the par five 16th).  All the drills came together today for a solid round.  
    • Day 568 - 2026-04-22 Created a 33-minute playlist and paused it while I stopped. I mostly did some backswing and a little downswing work with the mirror. This got me most of the way through the playlist, so then I chopped for a good 15 or 20 minutes.
