What'd You Shoot Today?

My very first post on the forum... so hello!

Wasn't today but shot a 92 around my local course Rickmansworth, in Herts, UK the other day with some bargain (if a little rushed) twilight golf.

It's a short, ridiculously hilly and tight Harry Colt par 65, where every green has 4 bloody tiers and the only time the ball is level with your feet is on the tee! A cracking little challenge if you're ever in the area.

Played pretty well bar 4 holes, which cost me a 9, two 8's and a 7, so 32 shots for 4 holes! When I go bad, I go REALLY bad! Was working it out when I got home and had 1 birdie, 4 pars and 4 bogies, so for half of the round I was only 3 over. The other 9 (not that I did these in order, it was good following bad) I was 24 over!!!

The story of my golf game, pretty good player but more than capable of going "all in" off the deep end.

90 today...45/45   1 birdie, 3 pars, 9 bogies and 5 doubles. On my home course...69.9/121

Shot an 88 today....really feel good about it to....Last few rounds have been 106, 103, 101, 97, 94, and then today's 88,  However, been going through some health things and today was first time in 3 months that I played pain free...

82 last night with 3 3 putts and a damn triple on 18. Pretty much blew up every hole on the back, even the ones I scabbed a par out of were ugly. I was really tired and wet because it rained heavy. Made the mistake of playing the back with ladies league still out there. Probably would have been better staying on the front twice. Played the front in 50 minutes, the back took 2 hours.

I had three equally great shots today when I pitched the ball to within 2-3 feet of the cup on three separate holes form a distance of about 50 to 60 feet off the greens. Good enough to one putt each of those three holes for pars. My short game works really good when I keep my head down. I keep my head down so long that I don't even see the flight of the ball but only hear it when the ball lands on the green. That's when I look up and I have been enjoying the results.

I shot a 91 on a par 72  70.2/121 course. Totally a tale of two swings. First 5 holes I didn't realize I was letting my right arm get separated from my body too much and was 11 over, from the 6th hole on I was 8 over. Went from 50 on the first 9 to a 41 on the second.

Sept. 1/15 - Went out for a relaxing nine holes by myself.  As luck should happen, I was having a good round making some decent shots.  I ended with a birdie on number nine to post a score of 39 - my first score under 40 in a number of years and one of my objectives for this current season!

Since starting this summer, my best 9-hole round was +9, and for some reason everything clicked tonight and improved to a +5. It was also the first time I tee'd up every hole I played that was Par3, as I usually found I disliked tees on par3 when I tried a few months ago when starting.

42 and a total WTF 9 holes last night. 18 mph wind, enough rain to be annoying, and every bad lie imaginable, eventually started taking pics of where the ball ended up because it was just bizarre. I always tell myself ignore the wind and stay in the game but this was just dumb. Won't bore with every detail but to paint a picture of the wind this is the kind of thing that happened. I hit the flag with a rangefinder on a hole I almost always par, I was just 107 out. I tried to flight a PW in there choked all the way down to the steel and it traveled 157 yards. Actually further than that, where I tagged the next shot with Game Golf was 157, over the green and next to a ditch that's not even marked a hazard it's so far out of play.

Check this out. This was an every other hole occurrence. Bad angle because to show how crappy that was, I was getting ready to address the ball so had to pick it out between the track ridges, club moving across the track not in the direction of, probably the best shot I've hit all year. Unbelievably I made par on that hole playing my third shot from there on a par 4, landed about 5 feet from the hole with a 20 or so yard pitch.

Not today but a few weeks ago (day after my birthday) was in a team of 3 total Stableford comp and I shot 71 (-1) to match the amateur course record. Course is a par 72 and plays 7100 yards off the tips. SSS is 73. Needless to say I didn't get cut as it wasn't a qualifying competition!! I also shot +2 a week later. I was 7 over after 13 holes and Birdied the last 5 in a row (first time I've ever birdied 5 in a row). Just goes to show that anything can happen and you should never let a bad hole dwell on you! Or a few holes in my case...

Wednesday at Celebration course here in Florida played 9 holes, par 36...shot 38. Pretty solid for me as I hit 6 of 7 fws and missed 2 birdie putts under 6 ft. 2 bogeys, 7 pars. Played the gold tees which is next after tips.

I played 9 and shot 3 over. Par 34. Good round but I was one over through 8 and hit the perfect hybrid off the tee but the high wind held it up into a fairway bunker. Doubled 9....terrible end after the best round I ever had going.

Practice round at my local course before N.P. Cup, shot 74. Just minding my keys, hopefully will lead to a win next week

I shot the best 105 that anyone has ever shot.  Let me explain.

I've been working on key 1 A LOT.  And my head has gotten much more steady.  Last month on 2 difficult courses I shot a 91 and 93 which for me is very good.

In my last lesson we started to move on to getting my weight forward, and we started by looking at video that had me really on my front foot even at the top of the swing.  So we corrected that and I worked a few times this week on that.

And the results were VERY noticeable.  My driver distance increased this round from 220 if i really connected (rarely) to 260 average this round.  All of my clubs were longer.

And that is why I shot a 105.  1 sample hole will give you the idea: 385 yard par four.  I drive it and my GPS says I have 123 yards to the front of the green.  Normally that is a 9 iron for me, but in an attempt to adjust to the distance I play PW.  I still hit it over the green by about 10 yards.  Ended up being about 145 yards with my pitching wedge.

That happened all day long to me.  I never once came up short today, and only once did I judge my irons correctly.  I was constantly hitting over.  I hit long on a layup into a creek. I hit over greens, I hit long into bunkers.

It was awesome and I can't wait for my next round so I can play used to everything going so much further.

Best 105 ever.
