Played 9 holes with my best bud and I shot a 50 while he posted a 55. We've both been playing for about 3 yrs or so and honestly I can see a lot of improvement in both out games. My problem as of late is the bump and run and putting.. My gosh my 3 putts are getting out of hand.... Starting to think maybe the longer, counter balanced putter is not what I need

85 on a tough course while making zero putts outside of three feet and a whiff.  A goddamn whiff.  Tough lie, of course.

After hitting the first 4 greens this morning I fell apart.  Shot a disappointing 40.

10 over for 9 holes. Not bad for me. Two triples triggered by bad tee shots that I couldn't recover from. My misses, of which there were many, have become much more playable.

dramatically up and down in my play - last night was an 'up'

all par 5's I made it there in 2.  Driving was phenominal.

played the last 4 holes or so pretty much in the dark

penalties - 1st one was a lost ball, but I'm pretty sure the kids in front on me stole it.  they did on the next par 5 and I chased them down.  The other was because I hit around a dog leg and it was just about nearly dark by then - probably would have found that ball otherwise...

really happy with the front 9 but couldn't make the 1st putt a lot - still gave myself opportunities though - one bogie was due to the penalty and the other 3 all were within inches of the up and downs....

back nine - started out great and then it went to crap once it got really dark - still made some good shots though - same story, the up and downs on the bogies were all within inches...

wish I could play like this all the time.....so much fun

decided to try something to help me improve hitting irons.went to local course,5600  yards from white tees.smalll greens.decided to see how bad I was without hitting a wood so I teed off using my 4 iron entire round.hit pretty much every fairway 180-190 yards in middle about every time.still only had mainly wedge,9,8 iron to greens but that was the point to get iron practice.i concentrated more on putts and made quite a few.birdied my 9th hole to shoot a 2 over 36 on front.birdied 16th and 17th hole to be only 2 over with last hole to play.last hole was a 440 yard par 5.really thought about pulling out driver so id easily reach green in two but no I took 4 iron and hit it lil thin but down middle and had 210 left.hit 4 iron again  even though I knew I couldn't get there but hit it within 20 yards.wind up 3 putting on a very sloped green for a 3 over 73.considering I was giving up like 30-40 yards off tee on the 14 non par 3s you can say I was playing course equivalent of over 6000 yards.bogeyed the 2 par 5s.


42 +7 Got off the tee good Irons were decent, 7 out of 9 nGIR Putting was decent, 16 putts Short game was horrible. Chunked a 70 yard 3/4 wedge shot. Thinned a 20 pitch into a hazard, took a 9 on a par 5. Had a 25 foot chip that i left 12 feet short. Just bad.

46/48. 94. Had an 8 on Par4 4th, and 7 on Par4 10th. Other than those two holes, double bogies at worst. My chipping REALLY let me down today. So much that I had to practice for about an hour after my round just to make sure I could still do it. It's okay though, I'll break 90 one of these days

and 88 42 front 9 46 back, was hitting the ball well but still missed some shots and the phone was going nuts by the last 3 holes distracting me. If i could get out more i'd play better but I'm lucky for the few rounds i do get in.

but most important I had fun


Snuck out before work, shot a 91 at Warm Springs (Boise, ID). Last week my approach shots were my strong point but couldn't get them today, kept blading them. My putting has been coming on strong, only one 3-putt today. Driver has been on target as well. Looking to finish the summer shooting in the 80's :bugout:


Had to travel to Tucson for business and took my clubs with me.

Played Dove Mountain (where they play WGC's Accenture Match play) for the first time yesterday. See http://www.thegolfclubatdovemountain.com/

There are three 9's and I played Tortolita and Wild Burro.

From the tips (blues, not the tips pros play), it was ~7200 yds.

Shot 45 + 39 = 84.

I love this game! :-D


I never in my life expected to write that I was disappointed with a 76, but that's the case today. I had good looks at birdie all day and managed to make only one – a 1-footer.

It was the best ball-striking day of my life, so I'll focus on that and forget about the score that could have been.

53 on the back 9 after a long layoff.

73, 6334, 69.3/125. Best round of my life and could not be more disappointed lol. 2 of my 3 bogeys were 3 putts. Hit 12 GIRs and barely missed 4 birdie putts. Stroked a 3 wood from 228 to a front pin to the back of the green on par 5 18 and left my 30 foot eagle putt, for even par, 10 foot short. Finding misery in glory. It's what I do.

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
