Broke 80 for the second time! Shot a 79 on a 70.3/129 for a 7.9 differential. Handicap trending down to a 10.7 right now, could go even lower with another good score on Sunday.

83 last night in 15-20 mph wind. It came out of nowhere, dead calm when I teed off and raging before I got to the 1st green. Made for a tough day. I felt fortunate to be where I was standing on 18. It's a hole I almost always score par or better and a par would have me shooting 81, which would have replaced the highest score in my ten best and I would have trended down a little.

In my mind it was a foregone conclusion, I'd make par and post my score. Nope after a couple not so windy holes a crosswind hits so I teed it down and tried to punch it up the gut. It got a little higher than I'd like and I started it right, the wind blew it further right and it landed on the downside of a mound about 20 yards from OB. It bounced hard and I caught sight of it running into the deep weeds near the white stakes. I hit a provisional and went to look for it. Found it right on the line, so I thought. To be sure I went to the white stake further up and looked back. Sure enough looking back at it the ball was about 5" OB. Made double and left thinking dang nab it. .

If 15-20 bothered u that bad, take my advice and never play golf in amarillo or anywhere else in the tx panhandle. Lol

80 front 39 back 41 rated 72.8 slope 131 indexed 6.2

12 pars

4  bogeys

2  d bogeys

35        Putts

6/14     Fairways

12/18   GIR

Hit a lot of good recovery shots on fairways missed, hit 2 greens from fairway bunkers, also had at least 4 or 5 putts just skim the lip of the cup stopping within 6" so that was inspiring, basically I view myself making those putts in execution only they didn't hole out is all. All in all this could have been a mid 70's round if those putts fell and I feel as if I'm starting to round a corner I hope, the day was very warm by the time we finished the temp was closing in on 100*. I'm also playing without a glove and I think I may want to do this until I think the glove is offering a benefit. Hit a 350 yard tee shot on the 18th hole with of course cart path help .

Played a different course today and shot 85 not bad but I was all over the place. No consistent miss, both left and right. Shots did not seem to carry as far as normal and I kept coming up short on what I thought were good shots. Beautiful course, old style narrow fairways, tree lined and small greens. Just enjoyed being on the course good play of bad.

91. I had my first eagle, and that made the entire outing worth it. I have to reconcile the round with my game golf. Remind me not to hit a 4 iron off the deck from 185 yds out again. It's a 200 yd club, but then that's what happens when it's new.

Congrats!

[stealthhwk]

Congrats!

Ive broke 90 a few times in the 10 years ive been playing ive never had an eagle. Congrats!

[DrvFrShow]

Thanks. I did count my back 9 correctly. See I hit a provisional on 14 on my third shot when it looked like my ball might be lost, and I kinda lost track, but I found my original ball in a decent place as I was driving my cart. I ended up with a double on that par 5. What I didn't add correctly was the front 9. I had a 44, not a 45, making the round a 90! These last three rounds will knock a 100, 98 and a 99 off the HC calc on the next revision, and they're replacing 69.1/112 with 71.8/118, 71.8/126, 72.1/121. Could be significant.

[rcwkent]

Played a tournament yesterday at a new course for me (69.9/126). Shot 94...21.6 differential.

First hour in the rain, and greens pretty waterlogged. 4th hole I was chipping from 6 yards off the green.

Hits the apron and almost sinks and skids to a stop 5 feet onto the green...still 40 feet away.

I bang my putt and only goes 20 feet with the watertail. 3 putt from there!!! Yikes!!!

Rain stopped and I settled down playing 12 over in last 13 holes!!

69 at Crystal Falls in Leander.  Couldn't really get anything going, just had to play scrappy.  Left 4 shots out there plain and clear.

78 again trending dowwnnnn.

[Duffydog]

Played Otter Creek - Blue Tees - 6705 72.9 rating, 133 slope. Cool day 60ish. The course was in perfect shape.

Front nine 45 hit my drives and approach shots very well, couldn't chip or putt had 3 three putt bogeys and a double on the ninth which is deep into my head I can't stop thinking about it for a week leading up to playing it!.

Back nine 45 - Crap off the tee, pulling Irons, but hitting great recovery shotsm short game good and sunk a couple of 12 footers (long for me) to "save" bogeys..

Sunday, Miami Shores GC, Troy, OH, Whites, CR: 66.8 47-46-93 With the Norwalk event less than a week away, I decided to keep score this time and see where I'm at. Answer: No where good. My putting was a joke. Several three-putts and a four-putt on No.9, the 1 handicap hole. No. 9 is a big back-to-front sloped green with the back right and left corners bending into a downgrade. Some sadistic bastard put the hole on the back-right drop off. On in three, putt short. Ran the second way past the hole and into the fringe and missed the come backer. I was on tilt for the next two holes before I calmed down. Otherwise, I was hitting about 1 decent ball for every two swings. On a wide open course like this one, it was remarkable how I seemed to find a tree with every miss-hit. Gorgeous day though. Mid 60s with just a breeze is my ideal golfing weather.

90 even (par 71).  Overall an encouraging round.  I scored 43/47.  The back nine had me at 1 over after 4 holes (bogey, birdie, bogey, par) and then I just lost my swing a bit, which I still do from time to time as I'm in the midst of making a pretty major swing change.  I played +11 on the last 5 holes with 2 in the water and 1OB.  That said, I haven't broken 90 since 2013, and I was right on track to before holes 14-17 derailed me.  I'm making progress and am trending the right direction.

[SteveH]

Had a few steady rounds this last week. Went out and shot 42/46 for an 88, the 46 included my first ever eagle on a par 5, too bad about the rest of the 9, lol.  This weekend I had a 41/50 for 91 and then a 40/47 for an 87. The course is par 72.  I am finding my 90's rounds to be a lot less frequent now and lot's of 80's rounds. I can play 9 with a fairly consistent 42-44 but the 2nd nine seems to always bite me and it doesn't really matter which 9 I play first. More work on short game and putting should help lower my scores.  My hci has been dropping so things are heading in the right direction.
