Shot a 90 with two birdies. Two bad tee shots with hybrids on par 3s cost me about 4-6 shots, and a bad drive (too much beer swing) cost me two more. My short game was lights out for some reason, my chips were routinely stopping 1-2 feet away from pin. I wish I had that every day, lol.

 

Second round in a row that was a 90 with two birdies. I need to improve my concentration.

Not horrible, but nothing really to write home about.  1 double and no birdies.  Nothing wrong with a bunch of unremarkable pars though.

It's been a good golf weekend.

Friday Night - 79 - 41 on the front, 38 on the back.  Had to par the last 3 holes to get it.

Saturday - 79 - 40 on the front 38 on the back.  Once again had to par the last 3 holes.

Sunday - 78 - 41 on the front 37 on the back.  Was forced to par out starting on hole 12 (boogied 10 and 11).  Did one, better...literally.  6 pars and a birdie on the last 7 holes.  If I could have made more than one of my 5, 8 foot birdie putts it could have been an outstanding day, but I'll settle for a great day :-P.

The last  3 months have been somewhat of a breakthrough.  At the beginning of May I was an 11 handicap.  I'm currently trending to an 8.2.  Its kind of nice :-D.  It's probably going to suck for next weeks Club Championship.

40-37= 77 (+5) still playing in cold and windy conditions. Good practice thow. 

Finally the wind stops and i shoot 70 (-2).

I discovered that on short putts i was not accelerating thru the ball. Besides sinking 10 out of 12 inside 10 feet (that could be luck) my stroke feel good in all thous putts, even the 2 putts i miss, both inches short in-line.

It rained again...as it seems to every day.  I shot 135 at the driving range.  Could have gone much lower; but I opted for the big bucket.

Last Wednesday I shot a 44 on 9 holes, about 2950 yards. 4 pars & 1 ruinous triple bogey. 

I feel like I never get to play anymore.

I got out today and played 9.  I shot a 41 on the front 67.3/117.   I missed one fairway bad (ended up in another fairway but had 8 nGIR, 4 GIR.   I putted well except for #6 where I had 4 putts!  I still ended up with 17 putts.  I was bragging last week about no 3 putts the previous 2 rounds.  

I've learned you never mock the golf gods.  They are vengeful.

Played 9 on Sunday and again on Monday. Both on my home course front 9. The second 9 I played the blue/white combo tees which play to a hair over 3300 yds. Shot a 39 with 2 birdies (another 2 birdie putts lipped out), 5 gir, and 5 fir. My short game has drastically improved since reading the short game bible towards the tail end of the spring. The combined 9s were my first outing that I can remember where I posted a single digit differential. Hopefully I will be a single digit index by the 9/1 revision.

108, 54/54.

@tlazzol was kind enough to drive up to my home course today. It was nice to see how this game should be played - at least until the nasty weather chased us off the course. I went back out and finished the last 7 holes.... but it wasn't pretty.

I'd been playing from the short tees so much lately I expected a high number when I moved back a set of tees, but I was hoping it would be a bit lower than this.

In addition to the normal and expected weaknesses, I wasn't as accurate with my iron play - which I'd been pretty happy with before today.

This is what I need to do more of - challenge myself by working on my weaknesses. I no longer have the high expectations this year I've had in years past, but I'm hoping to achieve some tiny bit of improvement by the end of the season.

There's a thin line between enjoying the game and setting myself up for failure.

Back out to follow up my 74 on the 69.9/121 home course. I thought I would would have a typical post low rounds STB and it started out that way... Bunch of bogeys on the front nine and crap drives (14% fairways hit on round... Whorable) but I birdied the hardest 9th hole and went on a tear of pars. Ended up birdieing 17 and 18 for even par back 9. Shot 78 for the first back to back rounds in the 70's that I can recall. Putting like a bashee.

Jon,

Ask Joe, it's the host job to control the weather.... :whistle:.    Terry does have a sweet swing.  

I was lucky enough to play Flint Golf Club (private).  It is old money and the course was pristine.   I had a career putting day with 28 putts, 1 chip in, and 2 birdies.   39/43 - 82.    Not quite a career best but close.

Played Kiva Dunes two times last while on vacation, 67.8/119.  Shot a 78 on my first rounds, and two days later had a chance for my best round ever as I was -1 after 16 holes.  It is the first time I have ever shot back to back in the 70's.  I hit 9 GIR on the front 9 that day, had 4 birdies and felt like I missed some putts on a number of other makable birdies.  I ended up bogeying 17 and 18 for a 73.  I am looking forward to my round this weekend, I hope I can keep it going!

It is bad form of me to get a side discussion going in this thread (see the first post "rules"), so I just wanted to point you to consider this thread. I know you have a scientific approach to the game so maybe you'd seen it, found it interesting, and commented there already. 

As for me, yesterday I played my first injury-free round since April. 83 on a short, open public course near me. Good score but on a typical course, I would guess it would've been 90ish. 

Played a fun mountain course in the western mountains of North Carolina last week. Keep in mind, I was creaky from several days of multi-mile hikes to remote waterfalls. Quite the adventure score-wise as I started with 3 tee shot shots OB for an 11 on an short par 4.  First 3 holes were +14, as I did the math on the 4th tee.  Yikes. At that point, I just relaxed and had a good time enjoying the views and interesting terrain. Still a good day on the course with some nice retirees there.

      Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice.

      By pganapathy ·

      A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By pganapathy ·

      Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.

      First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.
