What'd You Shoot Today?

[Bechambo]

Played the front twice at Terra Lago from the back tees and shot a frustrating 83. 40-43. I should have just stayed at the range. I experimented with a swing change that involved my shoulders. Worked fine on the range, but fell apart once course tested. The change was meant to get a specific trajectory, a higher one with some spin, for my woods, but it crept into my full swing for all my clubs and ended up causing me to have a tendency to pull draw my balls. Will be at the range tomorrow working that back out.

Haven't played around in over a week.  Was a beautiful day so I snuck off from the office and played 9 holes.  Shot 52, which is about average for me.  Hit the ball better, with most of my shots getting in the air, (not any worm burners today yeah!)   But distance seemed short (I am normally very short distance anyway)  The ground was very wet as we have had rain almost everyday so wasn't getting the roll I normally would.

Looking forward to playing 18 in the morning!

Rough day. I didn't score, played with a couple this morning, without warm up or anything. Shot multiple balls from each location. Lost my swing a bit. Kind of discouraged. Going to take tomorrow off from golf to get my get head right. Wish this game came easier to me sometimes.

89 yesterday playing from the blues. Was planning on playing today but 100% chance of rain through the day kinda killed that dream.

74

(par 71/course rating 69.8/slope 120)

I just blew away my lifetime best of 79 by 5 strokes. While my putting was lights out (28 putts), it really came down to course management and a better understanding of my own abilities.

We finally had a nice weekend and I played Saturday and Sunday at Drumm Farm Golf Club 72.5CR 137slope 6564yds par72.  Golf is a very humbling game, and rust is caked on about 7 layers deep!! The course played long with wet fairways.

I hit a decent percentage of fairways, but nearly every drive was a partial mis-hit and very short leaving very long approaches into greens.  I lost the bottom of my arc and hit a bunch of irons fat causing lots of penalties!! ...but  I did make some putts!!   ...and had some nice saves.

Sat: 43-44=87

8/14 fairways

5 greens

29 putts

1 birdie

0/2 SS

4 penalties

Sun:43-42=85

10/14 fairways

Greens 4

SS- 1/1

1 birdie

4 penalties!!

I played with old friends and members that I haven't played with since quitting the club 2 years ago (I re-joined this year), and we had a blast!!!!   It was a little embarrassing to hack my way around the course the way I did, but we all had some issues with rust.  They at least still look like scratch/plus golfers, but I looked like a hacker. LOL

Squeaked under 80 today, with a 79 on a 71 rating, 6401 yd tees. This was a below average day for me. I have been putting in significant time into my short game and it has shown little improvement. It did not serve me well today. Drives were pretty good all day for me, for the most part, and putting was above average. Looking for that short game expertise that I use to have. Has anyone seen it?

I'm trending in the right direction!!

My driving was better today, but my iron play is horrendous. I didn't make any birdies, but I was scaring the hole all day long and made all the 4-6 footers to save some pars. The bunkers are a mess right now and I wonder if I should even track sand-play until they're fixed.  sheesh..

6800 yard 71.1 course from the blues and I shot a 93. Starting to average out in the low 90's but felt like I could of played a lot better. Driver and irons were really good but the rain from the past 2 days made the green super hard to putt on and chipping was awful. Hoping to shoot in the 80's this weekend though.

[alleztom]

Par 71 6175yd course. Shot 94 (+23), got off the tee OK, struggled to get up and down once out of 8 attempts from near GIR. 3 GIR, 8 nGIR. , one 3 putt and 2 OB were the difference between breaking 90 and not.

3 pars, 8 bogeys, 6 doubles, 1 triple.

Mid-AM at my course, and I met @Bechambo playing the first hole, while I was finishing the 6th of course 2. Looked like he got a 6 foot birdie to me.

Brookside Course 2: Holes 1 to 8. Played pretty horribly. I hit at least one tree on every par 4 hole, and drove the wrong green from the 7th. The ball went through a tree taking a few large branches with it and gently rolled onto the green on the 1st hole. Played exactly bogey. . .

[Bechambo]

Shot 79 at the Mid-am today. @Lihu Sorry to let you down. You saw me at my best. Fell apart towards the end. Front, 4 bogeys, 2 birdies. Back, 3 bogeys, 1 double bog... Several three putts, and I think I didn't have one save. 0% scrambling today. I know what I need to work on, and I think I know what led to the poor performance. So, back to the practice field. A battle this is. You can check out the scorecard for the event here. http://www.ghintpp.com/scga/TPPOnlineScoring/ResultsStroke.aspx?id=1262

Played a round at Boca Raton GC during a company conference ... managed an 84 with an eagle (70' pitch in); 3 doubles on par 3's for the fail).    First time played in quite a while, so I think it's gonna be a good year ...

[GHIN0011458]

Extremely upset with the 80 I shot on a par 70 yesterday.. 6500-6600(don't have the card on me) in Very wet conditions; still licking my wounds. 72.2/127 rating. Zero Birdies, Zero Doubles, 8 GIR, 2 Penalties, 34 putts, Three 3 putts.. The things I am working on didn't translate to the course today as I went from hitting it flush to hitting it thin. When I first started working on these changes, I was hitting everything thin. Yesterday I did that as well. I think I need another round in to get used to hitting off grass and digging in as I have only been able to hit off mats.. My Drives were back to being a little lower and I was only carrying the ball around 240, with no roll. Better off hitting my 3 wood probably. So I thought it played a little longer but at the same time I think I hit two or three shots that I thought were flush. Everything else I left out to the right or closed down the face or hit thin.

[BigSlab29]

My first 9 holes of the year. Shot a 50. 2/6 FIR 20 putts. Not great by any means but not too shabby for my first outing of the year. I usually average in the low 100's

[Lihu]

So, I shot another bogey (+20 on 72.9/130) day again. This time with the Mid-AM tournament conditions and tee sets on course 1.

I hit one drive on the 12th right into this:

And took it as a lateral hazard, but took this picture to verify?? I took the penalty 3 times as I found myself in these regions more times on other holes, but in retrospect I not gather they are marked off as GUR??? The +20 still stands, though, because the holes are already played and the score is already posted.

My drives were longer today because the temperatures were finally in the high 60s (F scale), but my irons were terrible because I was trying to hit them too hard for some reason. Anything over an 8i (160 yards or up) was a struggle. . .I made 4 GIR, a bunch of near greens and a bunch of totally crappy holes.

LOL- well my friend, that is GUR. That is a DQ as your score is incorrect
