41-37-78 2 Doubles (Bad) 2 Birdies (Good)

Hit the ball good except on two holes again.  One bad drive on 7 and one fat 7 iron into the water, makes two doubles on the front. Ugh!

First game of the year. Shot 112. For some reason everything off the tee was bad, like I couldn't swing comfortably, it was a miserable day though, rain and hard wind maybe ~20mph gusts but still.

43-38-81 1 double 1 birdie, didn't have my game at all yesterday.    Couldn't chip, couldn't putt, hit a couple good shots that turned out bad, ended up being long, and being that they just cut and rolled the greens that day, being long as @RandallT has mentioned before, is not the place to be at Springfield.

Great score! I've never played there - it looks long. I'll have to make it out there one of these days

Played Boulder Creek Golf Club in Streetsboro OH today.  Was a little windy and really soggy.   But a really nice layout, will like to play it again when it's a little dryer.

41-43-84 at Meadowbrook in Gainesville Fl from the blues. A little better than my average round despite winds 15mph+ today. Scrambled well today after multiple tee shots were pull draws into the rough/trees. Finding my groove with my irons though which is really uplifting!

I had a hell of a time figuring something out at Myrtle Beach, but I said then that it was probably some little thing, and if I just got on video I'd see it and could sort it out… and that was accurate. I found a little thing with my right elbow and managed to play pretty well today, despite mis-hitting a driver on #3 a little. Straight, slight draws… in high winds and soft conditions.

36. 9 pars. Two (first and last) were scrambling pars. The greens were soft and slow though so you could just throw it almost all the way to the hole.

Use the PING Glide 2.0 wedges. Spun one back to the front of the green on #4. I forgot that they're much more aggressive with spin.

Not sure if this is allowed, but I played in a "best ball" scramble. First time for me, though I figure everyone on here knows the game.

Won 7 bucks, with our team shooting 9 under. Seemed like a good score considering it was pretty windy. My foot is still pretty messed up, lost a few balls w/driver, but overall played well and more importantly just had a blast!

Got out to play today which was a pleasant surprise. I play Broadlands a pretty decent course near my house. It's not in great shape yet but not terrible.  The greens are pretty shaggy I'm pretty sure they haven't been cut yet. I ended up shooting a 85 which I was very happy with. It was pretty windy and I'm still dialing in all the new sticks. I absolutely love my M1 3w. I hit it 3 times all off the deck and absolutely smashed it. It was a nice day to get out hopefully we will get some more decent weather it's pretty unpredictable this time of year.

48+45=93. Not great score, but 9/11 fairways and 5 GIRs. So how did i manage that? 40 putts and 2 balls in the hazard

el Alemán had a bad day and only beat me by two strokes (of course, he spots me 10 strokes at the start of the round

Played my first 18-hole round of the year in Spain about a week ago. Shot an 81 (38-43). Was actually going OK, before making back-to-back double bogeys on holes 16 and 17.

76-74 at my home course this weekend. 

In the second round i hit 15 GIR. Missing 14, 16 and 17 greens by only 2..3 yards. Bad chipping and putting all weekend.

Need to get back on practice after my holidays.

Shot a new personal best 81 on Saturday at Airport golf Course in Columbus, OH. went 41-40, 1 double bogey, no birdies. got 11/18 GIR, two putted every single hole plus two 3 putts. Most of the GIR were 20+ feet away so nothing that I realistically would expect to make for birdie. 

Drives and approach shots felt fantastic, some of the pins were tucked in corners so I played it smart/safe. 

I had 225+ left to a par 5, normally would have hit a short 2nd shot then a full wedge, but based on the stats and numbers I've read throughout this site I knew the better play was to advance the ball as far as I could. I had been practice 3 wood off the turf at the driving range the past few weeks so I gave that a go, ended up pin high about 10 yards right of the green, chipped and two putted for my par. No complaints!

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
