What'd You Shoot Today?

I stopped keeping score Saturday. I was so pumped and ready to make a big step towards braking 100 and thought it would be a good day. I posted a 9 on hole 1 at Northdale which is a straight par 5. I posted an 8 on hole 2 (granted it is considered hardest hole-I disagree). It was pretty much that way most of the round. Missed a few par putts for bogeys and just could not understand how I was not striking my irons the way I had been recently (well). Golf is crazy. Back to the drawing board. Need to work more drills from LSW

Had a round yesterday where i hit one OB and didn't realize it until it was too late (i.e. couldn't go back to the tee). Then topped it by hitting the wrong freaking ball a shot later. I'm blaming the heat.

So, i shot a +33 104. And I'm actually happy about it. Towards the end I was starting to hit draws, and hitting my irons farther than usual(is my distance back??) I stuck with trying to shallow my club more and in the beginning took two really slow swings emphasizing the shallowing of my club, and then went up and hit. I usually score in the 80s but I'm proud of this score because I was starting to hit, and consistently hitting good draws off the tee, on the fairway, everywhere. My drives were mostly straight draws, whit the exception of a push-draw on the 18th.

In a heated match for beers at the turn and at 19 my buddy and I went out in the blistering heat on Sat.

He threw down a 77 and I carded an 88.  What a round!  We were playing off each other and shot some good golf.  A couple at the turn on me and he got a couple at the 19th.

I had 5 pars and a birdy and he had 9 pars and a birdy.  That was his best score ever.  This is my second 88 in a row.  I am glad to be breaking the 90's but man, does he have to go and break 80 on me?

I have been trying to beat him for a few years now.  He has been playing for 30 years and I have been only playing for 5 years.  I will get him one day!

Gotta go setup a T Time for next Sat.

Shot 80 yesterday which is my best score since starting up golf again last year.

I was 2 under after 7 so part of me feels a little bit disappointed that I let it slip!  

I was feeling so good on the tee at 8 that I thought I'd hit a little draw into the lateral slope of the fairway to get a better position.  Unfortunately my ball missed the ground and went into the trees.  Took a few holes to get the wheels back on and back to playing shots I can actually hit.

I scored 99 yesterday on a par 71.... Dreadful game. I lost around 5 balls from the tea due to massive slice and the occasional push to the left. Just didn't real as if I had any confidence in my swing and was constantly trying to correct things. I've posted a video in the "members swing" area to hopefully get some advice!

Faldo!!!

Yep. I think it's the third time I've done it.

But this thread is one of the few here where we ask for no replies, so I'm going to honor that about my own posts, too.

Shot a 41 on a Par 36. Bogeyed the first five holes, parred the last four with four scrambles. Working on the short game a bunch seems to be a cure all for when the mid-range irons are off. Standard round for me is pretty solid driver play, mediocre-to-bad iron shot, and a scramble to either save it or make bogey. I would try to "fix" the irons, but then that means less time on the short game, which is what's saving me now.

Shot a 40 on par 36 in league last night.  5 pars and 4 bogeys. Won 5 out of 9 points.

Good - after duffing my first drive, I hit the next 6 in the fairway.  Hit 6 GIR and one other about 2 feet off in the apron pin high.

Bad - putting as usual.  Missed a few 4-6 footers yet again.

Sort of broke 80 for the first time today.

Shot 39 on the front nine, and then because there was a group of 3 foursomes in front of me that weren't letting anyone through I did the front nine again, and shot 34!

39+34 = 73

5 birdies and 7 pars with no doubles.  I wasn't too unhappy with the 39 but to get an under par nine holes feels like a pretty big deal for me so I'm stoked!  It also gives me some confidence that I can start shooting in the 70's on a full 18 pretty soon.

41** +6 with 2 lost balls. 4 of 7 fairways, 4 of 9 greens, and 15 putts.

 

**not really legitimate unfortunately because I had to take a drop for a lost ball which I didn't realize would not be found and couldn't go back to the tee as people were already there waiting. I did take +2 penalty for the drop

Tied my personal record of 83 from my home course.  It lowered my HI by 1 full point.    Scored 37 on front 9 with 5 straight GIRs at one stretch.  After par'ng 10th hole for +1 through the 1st 10 holes, I was on top of the world and begin to dream.  Then, I came back down to earth and played the remaining 8 holes to my HI level.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).  
    • Wordle 1,003 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   felt a little like Wyndham when the first three green and I began the fist pump…
    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
