The course I posted above has a rating of 67.8 and slope of 117. If I have been comparing my scores on the same 3 courses all year. At the beginning of the year I was scoring 66-72. A couple months ago 57-63. A month ago I was 56-62. The past month I havent scored over 60. The past three rounds 55-56-47. That means a lot to me.

Well I haven't posted for a few rounds. Played two courses I really like with a little higher slope rating and course designer. @127. 85 & 85, I hit enough fairways (12 & 11) to score better and was long enough but couldn't either hit a green or hold one to save my life. I'm trying something to create better contact with a weight shift but think this minor change may be effecting contact but will stick with it. Should tell soon as I'm short on most shots but feels like I'm taking a lazy swing.

Had my best round ever. Shot a 4 over 74. Lipped out for a hole in one, had my second shot on  par five nick the stick, missed the eagle though. Funny thing was, I was 4 over after 3 holes. Played even, 4 birdies, 4 bogeys the rest of the way in. Longest birdie putt was 20 feet, the rest were all inside of 5 '. Beat my last best by two shots. I would be standing over a a 160yard shot and know it was going to be a good one. Hope I get that feeling again someday, but on the first hole.

71 from the blacks at WWGC.

Initially thought it was 17 pars and a birdie, but I snuck two birdies in there and bogeyed #8 when I thought about it.

Shot a 71. It was a par 65, though. But still, very pleased. Played the back 9 in even par - 1 birdie, 1 bogey. I actually had a triple bogey on the front 9, too. I managed to find about the only place on the hole with my drive that was in trouble. It was a sever side hill, ball above my feet, plus a bad lie in thick, ankle-high grass. Bleh. Oh well. Still was a pretty damn good round.

78 yesterday (38-40). Course CR 70.7, slope 130. Difficult wind conditions, so the scores were adjusted by three strokes (CBA system here in Europe)

3 birdies, 5 bogeys, 1 quad bogey (again!)

I need to get rid of the quads. Its probably because of playing a bit more aggressive recently. It has given me more birds but at the same time a couple of high numbers. Need to adjust to that.

5/14 FIR, 8/18 GIR, 30 putts

Driving wasn't so good this time. On the bright side, won the club competition again :)

Played 27 holes. 40/38 from whites, 40 from blues Note: A little better contact as described in LSW. Concentrated on full swing during pre swing routine. Drives are actually getting longer. Thanks.

Wasn't today but shot a 112/28 points on Saturday and a 98/38 points on Sunday.  I'm a 28 handicap and was playing in my clubs informal Sunday morning competition, I've now been cut to 27.

This was the third time I've broken a 100 and currently trying to break 95, want to be consistently playing bogey golf by end of next summer.

Just back from my Smith Mountain Lake Trip

Ballyhack Golf Club - Roanoke VA

Ridge Tees - 6,247 71.6/145

37-42-79 with 1 triple (lost ball and three putt), one double bogey, 1 eagle and 2 birdies.

Course was very tough, you had to hit it in the fairway, no level lies on the course, major elevation changes.  The course was interesting, would play it again, not sure anyone else in my group would play it again though.  Everyone else said it was too difficult.  Huge greens, most greens had several tiers, so if you got on the wrong side, it was almost impossible to two putt.  I think I had three putts that were close to 70-80 feet.

The Waterfront Country Club, Moneta, VA

69.7/132 6,111 Yds BlueTees

38-41-79 -  nice course, had some interesting holes.  Greens were really slow.  The Par 3 17 was fun to play, about 145 Yds over water but at a drop of 30-40 feet.

Poplar Grove Golf Club

White Tees  6,101 70.6/135

35-37-72 - 3 birdies, very nice layout, course was a little rough on the front Nine, back 9 was in much better shape.  Not many level lies on this course either.  It's way off the beaten path to get here, but i would play this course again.

8/16 - 80 @ Rittswood GC, Valencia, PA

8/17 - 81 @ River Forest CC, Freeport, PA

Both scores from the senior tees.

In both rounds I started well, then went about 8 consecutive holes with nothing but bogies, and then recovered with several consecutive pars on the back 9.

My putting is still mediocre and that is costing me a few strokes per round.

70 on par 71 (sss 71 - uk) from back tees, we don't have slope rating. Second round below par gross of the year. 18th round in the 70s this year but only 3 of those in a comp :-(

Played 18 this afternoon. 75 (38/37). 11 fairways, 8 greens, 7/10 U&D; (half just off green), 28 putts. Scores should be a little higher but my U&D; has been good with balls just off greens. Really happy with driving again having several balls inside 100 yards to pin with the LSW drills I've been doing. BTW - I took the two recently re shafted irons out of the bag while I'm working on the full swing with my standard clubs. Better feel again.

37-35=72

My warm streak continues.....this was a very stress free round of golf.  I had two 3-putts from inside of 15 feet on the back and still scored under par!  I could have gone very low had it not been for aggressive putting!  I may get back into the ZERO's before long if this play continues!!

I shot a 42  at Wyandotte Shores Golf Course in Wyandotte ,Michigan on the Historic Detroit River.

Putter was working, made 3 long putts and birdied the last hole with a 4 on the par 5 9th.

    • Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…
    • OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
    • Some thoughts after the 1st 9 holes of the year. The driver was pretty good, nothing crazy. My miss seems to be just a push. The start line is a bit too far right for my taste, but they are drawing back at least. Hitting middle-ish of the face to slightly toe. Part of the right miss is a bit of open face and off the toe slightly.  Irons, some really good strikes, others were not so good. I am feeling a few things, when I am being mindful of the swing I made.  1) Got to get the pause down again, and keep things shorter (as usual). One of the best iron shots was when I tried to mimic Rahm's swing length, lol. I caught a flier and hit an 8-iron like 190 yards into an area of no return for that golf ball. The swing felt great 😉  2) I got to stay taller in transition, feel like I gain tons of space between my hands and my chest. The bad swing is the old swing, bad right elbow, tilt to lower the club. This was too much shallowing, and hitting the ball fat. I just think of it this way, you are bent over, and you can reach the ball at address. So, you can reach the ball at impact by getting your hands down.  3) The final thing is the timing. It might take some time to get some flow into the swing. Timing up hands down and the turn is a bit off. Focusing on the hands down kind of stalls everything for me, at least it feels like my hips do not turn. I end up hitting a decent strike, just feels meh athletically, lol.  Short game was Ok, which means pretty good for not practicing it. Not short, but not round destroying.  Putting, doing much better now that I quickened up my routine. Line up, looking at my target. Glance down at the ball to get into my stance. Glance up at my target spot again, then hit the ball with in like 1-2 seconds after looking back down at the ball. Trying not to get to static over the ball while putting.   
    • Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.
    • Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
