What'd You Shoot Today?


Recommended Posts

47-42-89. Pleased with my round, best this year. Got stuck behind some slow golfers which put me off and cost me a shot or two. Think I have the potential to go a fair bit lower than this, but who knows? Break 80 this summer? Dream on? I shall keep playing and find out!

40 - 42 = 82

Played the front 9 twice in a row because they were starting everyone on the back 9 for most of the morning and it was just too congested by the time we got there.  Had 8 putts for birdie at 15' or less and didn't hole one of them :-(

Yesterday I shot 85.  Had a two putt birdie on a par 5.   The rest of the round was about the same as always- hit most of the fairways, missed most of the greens.  A lot of chipping and bunker shots.   A lot of 2-putt bogeys.  

My shot of the day was a mistake- on a par 5, dogleg right, I hit my tee shot well to the right of where I was aiming, cleared a pretty tall pine tree and hit the back of a hill, sending my ball careening forward right into the middle of the fairway, about 190 yards from the green.   I managed to hit that green and 2-putt for birdie.  Actually, maybe that second shot was the shot of the day. 

We got around 18 holes in 3 hours flat.

Went out Wednesday afternoon, after work. It was EXTREMELY windy, and kind of a mess of a round. With the wind to my back, I had a well-struck drive that went 216 (before, I think my longest this season was 195). Into the wind a few holes later, I had a well-struck one that went only 133. I took my 3 wood to start a few holes, without a tee, to try to keep it down a bit. I hit it reasonably well most of the day.

What the day came down to was a disastrous start (44 through 6, including 2 9's and an 8) with a good (by my standards) finish (34 on the final 6). I even managed to play the one par-5 (543 yards) well for the first time ever, thanks to the wind. I got my third shot just over the back of the green, had an OK chip on, then made a nice putt from about 12 feet to par that hole for the first time (I'm usually happy to leave that thing with a 7, since I don't hit the ball hard).

I was pretty frustrated to start. I decided to slow my swing way down to get some control on it, and it worked surprisingly well. I was hitting quite a few fairways and being helped by the wind on some of the holes meant I was getting decent distance. I ended up with a line of 60-54-114. That I shot 6 better on the half of the course that's 2 strokes higher (34 on the front, 36 on the back) and almost 700 yards longer kind of says something about how ugly I started that round, but I feel that I mentally adjusted well. With any luck, I can go out tomorrow and see if I can get the first 10 holes into a better situation and break 110 for the first time this season.

Played the ridge golf course 2 days ago from the back tees. mostly a practice round front nine in a cart. I played it 3 times shot 40-41-then 37. I was hitting the greens much better but managed to have some doubles in there 2 nines out of 3. I would say my gir has improved a ton same as par saves and my driving hitting most of the fairways. I had 8 birdie looks and made 1 putting needs to be more aggressive?

This was my half-day off for the week. Played some really awful rounds over the winter and this is a step in the right direction. 10 of 14 fairways. Shots off the floor were better but still have a long way to go.Gotta get through the next few weeks and I can spend more time on golf.

Earlier today, 72 with… 16 pars. Whispering Woods blue tees. Balls were still going, on average,  yards from where they landed on tee shots.

http://www.gamegolf.com/player/iacas/round/793790

Hit the ball really badly. And had 83% GIR, somehow. Seriously, everything was heeled, thin, and thus weak/right. I had a lot of long putts. My distance control was great. GG says I lost two strokes putting (but gained in everything else), which I don't know if that makes sense. I'll post about that in the GG separate thread, though.

I shot a 79, 10 pars, 1 birdie, 6 bogies, 1 double. 

I am not complaining much with the work I've been putting in on my swing changes. The first hole was the blip when I thought about too much stuff. Once I stopped that I hit some great shots. 8 GIR, 8 nGIR for a combination of 16 out of 18 GIR or nGIR. I didn't putt particularly well (-0.68 strokes gained putting). I didn't putt well inside of 25'.

    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
