What'd You Shoot Today?

[DeadMan]

Woof. 90 on a 70.8/131. Went 42-48. My putting first went to hell, then my ball striking went to hell the second half. I'm struggling with controlling a 20 yard draw that I have going right now. 15 nGIR, too many doubles as well.

Oh well, playing tomorrow. I wasn't that terrible today. I think I can be 10 strokes better easily. That was probably the worst score I could have shot with how I was hitting the ball.

Saturday Game, 42/40 82 net 66, handicap going in right direction. 1 birdie,5 pars,12bogies, left a few puts right on cup could have broke 80 with touch of luck, but not to be.

Saturday,

Kittyhawk GC (Eagle Course), Whites, CR: 71.6, Slope 125

Dayton, OH

50-52-102

For my first-ever handicap posting, I surely didn't set the bar very high.

The round turned sour on hole 5 and didn't get any better after that. I just didn't hit many solid shots. Concentration lapses cost my plenty front and back.

The best thing I can say about it is that this sort of round would have been a lot worse a year ago. I've been working on keeping a positive (or at least a less-negative) attitude. Previously, this was the sort of round that would result in 110 or worse.

83 on a pretty average course yesterday.

But I had a great drive on 18 and managed to triple the hole regardless.  That changed it from a decent round to a mediocre one immediately.  Hitting decent.  Need to hit the greens better.  My distance control used to be a strength.  Now I'm trying to get it back.

Only the 2nd round of the season

Played my home course today, blue tees. Started 7-6-4 (par 4-4-3) before making a birdie 4 on hole 4 -- hit a driver into light rough, hit a utility metal (couldn't hit a full wood) to about 50 yards, pitched to a nice spot on the green and made a nice easy downhill putt :-) I'd later birdie hole 9 and par hole 11 (a big deal for me -- it's a 435 yard par 4) en route to today's 86. This brought my handicap trend to 14.6, but I need to shoot a differential of 17.6 or better in my next round (90 or better at my home course), or my trend will go up to 14.7. Just the same, excited for a new personal best handicap index, plus only my third-ever round with two birdies. :-)

A seven hole stretch of bogey's did me in today.

[Yukari]

Ugly 88.  My swing left me.  The club felt like a foreign object to me all day.  It was as if I was just learning golf.

I hope this slump ends soon.

Well, I got out on Friday and Sunday with my son. And if any of you care to recall, I took your advice and started going for two on par-5 holes. One resulted in a birdie on Friday. Thanks. Par 72 slope 132 6530 Holes 2-4, 8 all pars and 2-putts. Bogeyed 1, 5, 6, 9 Birdied 7 No three putts Out: +3 Holes 10, 12, 15-18 all pars and 2-putts. Bogeyed 11, 13, 14 One three putt on 14 - a bastard of a green In: +3 Sunday: Holes 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 pars and 2-putts. Bogeyed 3,4,5,9 One three putt on 3 - no excuse Out: +4 Holes 11, 13, 15, 17, 18 pars and 2-putts.

My hcap was cut to 22 on Saturday.

84 yesterday and honestly it was the best I've hit the ball all year just was unlucky a few times. Private course, lot's of trees and some things I just didn't expect due to unfamiliarity. The greens were really firm but kind of shaggy and typically very quick but I left several putts a foot or so short that were tracking to the hole. Couple times I just didn't execute. After a 289 drive I had just 84 yards to the pin and slightly chunked a wedge that dropped dead about 5 feet from the green. I had an easy chip that I hit toe down right at the hole but it checked up really quick and rolled about half way to the hole. At my home course I stick that near the hole damn near every time. But I drove the ball really well other than clipping a few trees.

Chuckle.   In comparison, my 88 on Saturday was a pretty one, only the 2nd time this year I broke 90.   I am relearning golf as I completely changed my swing in January through lessons.   I am hoping my slump is gone for good and I make my way into scoring in 80s regularly once again.   And may you score in 70s ....

When a single digit shoots an 88 it's a bad thing. It's how you shot it that makes it acceptable or bad. I shot 78 the other day on a 1 stroke easier course, but in two parts. I was not very happy with it because of the 3 doubles on the front. The 3 birdies were nice, but it's extremely rare for me.

[frohlic]

played a 98 today. very staisfied, many good shots, sadly 3 blow up's but still very good. feeling good for the season

4/6/15 @ River Forest, Freeport, PA  (par 71)

41-40=81 from the senior tees

I had  a four hole stretch in the middle of the round where I went double-single-double-double, for 7 over par. I was 3 over for the other 14 holes.

Welp my tournament today was pretty awful

56-42=108

The worst round I have had in the last couple of months and one of the few rounds in the 100's lately

Tips on a 6800 yards- 73.7/150 course in Houston

I hit the ball so well but the slice I have been playing in the last few weeks went away and I couldn't adapt. I would slice the ball sometimes or draw the ball sometimes and I never knew which way it was going. I only 3 putted once and my chipping wasn't great but I didn't chink any chips or anything too bad, I always gave myself a chance to make the putt/ 2 putt

The Killer: 16 penalty strokes, lost 13 balls (had to borrow from my teammates/group partners lol it was bad), I usually have a couple of penalty strokes and all but never like this before.

Also got unlucky with cart paths a few times but overall I felt like I played a nice 80-95 round but I shot a 108 and ya so gonna get a lesson this week and hopefully get a consistent ball flight for next week!

[Rynrem]

Just got back from vacation in SoCal....84 at Indian Wells and 81 at Shadow Ridge.  I didn't strike the ball very well but scored decent....that's usually how it goes for me, the opposite holding true as well.

[BuckeyeNut]

I've been following a trend lately......... outward 9 disaster........playing better golf coming in!   It's a winter rust THANG....I'll shake the rust off.....just not quite yet!

Drumm Farm Golf Club: 72.5CR 137 slope

44-39=83

It's a progress.........

My biggest issues right now is no-clubhead speed..............short crooked drives combined with terrible contact with the irons......I basically SUKKAZZ tee to green.   If I couldn't still chip and putt, the scores would be 10X worse.......LOL

Luckily, I can still scramble and putt.......
