What'd You Shoot Today?

[Foozler]

Played 3 holes before it started raining. Shot 29 on those three holes. Played every bit as badly as I scored.

I broke 100 for the first time this morning with a 99!

Ate lunch and went back out and shot an 86!  Got my first birdie ever in that round.  Followed by two more.

That’s a helluva day. Congrats!

69 today, not bad after two weeks off 😎

Played 9 holes today. It was a bit too warm to play more than that. Humidity is way up there.

Shot a 40, with 5 pars, and 4 bogies. 

I was able to use a green side shot I have been working on for quite a while. I'm going to use it when not close enough to chip. It's a no wrist hinge pitch shot. It's basically a Runyon putting stroke, using a longer back stroke. I just add a little more forward hip turn.  It's good for me up to about 20-25 yards. I holed one out today for a par.

Well, shot a 42-41=83 on a par 72 course from the Senior tees (I'm 65), but it felt a lot worse than that! When you have 2 birdies on the back, and can do no better than a 41, it gives you some idea of what an up and down round it was.

I kind of got my wedge figured out on short pitches, and I was able to deliver some effective "stingers" from bad places to get back into play, but overall an inconsistent round!

Played the back 9 at my home course. Shot a 39.  6 pars, and 3 bogies. Made a 20' putt on the last green for a par. 

I had played the front nine earlier this morning. Took a long break in between due to high humid conditions. 

The course was still pretty moist, but I did use a few more irons than I did earlier. My Ironwoods, with the wider soles, worked well for me. 

The course has a summer rate that is the same for 9, 18, or any number of holes played up to 18. Cart rental is extra. Since I had paid earlier in the day, the back nine, although played a few hours later, was still included in the original fee.. Only difference was I paid for cart for the back nine. The morning nine I walked. They treat us very well.

Played 9 holes. Shot a 42. I was walking, so with the heat, and humidity, I took my time. I didn't hold anyone up, so no worries there. 

Had 16 putts, 1 bird, 1 double, and the rest were either par, or bogey 1s. Didn't lose a ball either. In fact, now that I think about it, I have not lost a ball in my past 36 holes. 

I actually played 11 holes. After the first 9, I took a break, then played #11, and #18 which brought me back to the club house. Parred both of them. Lipped out a 15' putt on #18 that would have given me another bird. 

I will be back later this evening with my Granddaughter after she gets off work. She will be hitting 50-75 yard shots, as part of her learning process.

Played horrible this week. On tuesday, played 9 holes the course is very wet so it's shortened to mostly par 3's. Some par 3 are 260 but to a green that it's quite sloped so they turn quite difficult, plus some holes were played in heavy rain. Shot +5.

On wednesday I payed 9 again, but played the two par 5's as par 5's, shot +1.

Yesterday, again 9 holes, shortened, shot +5 with a triple bogey in number 3.

Got out for a rare weekday round and shot a typically crappy number, but played with a personable fellow that just graduated Troy High School. His grandpa gave a set of clubs and he is now learning to use them. 

Like many newbies, it was a battery of slices, fats and skulls for most of the 18, but he had some moments.

We were on the last hole, a long par 4, and he'd hit his second fairway of the day.  Waiting for the green to clear, he asked for the yardage and what club to use. I told him to not worry about the yardage so much and hit the club he had the most confidence in. So from 215, he hits a rocket with his 7W to the back fringe. 

I think we have a golfer.

Had a 43 (8 over) last night, easily lost 3-5 shots due to horrible putting, but in general pretty happy. My strikes with my wedges were really good, too good in fact, as they were flying a bit too far compared to what I'm used to. No complaints though, I'll take shots going further than expected due to better striking to shorter than expected due to poor striking.

[Patch]

Shot a 40 for 9 holes this afternoon. 4 bogies, 5 pars, and 17 putts. Had a long one putt for par. 

I hit a lot of 7W, and 5I punch shots. Seemed to be the best shots I had going for me today. Fairway dirt is still pretty wet from the rains, and irrigation. Played pretty  consistent today. Nothing real bad, and nothing really good. 

For my past 63 holes, I have been averaging 4.55 strokes per hole, which for me is pretty good. Switching back to my older set of Ironwoods, has been a pleasent surprise too.

Had the dog with me this evening, so played first 4 holes thrice, which surrounds a pond for her to cool down. 3 bogeys on the 2nd, 3 birdies on the 4th. Creatures of habit? 2 more bogeys and parring the rest left me greenside on the short par4 5th (my 13th and last) with an 20ft eagle chip at +2. Finished +3. 🙄 

@Patch Hi, is that funky putter double sided? Sound like good hitting today, few more putts dropped and that could have been tasty.

On Wednesday I shot a 48 in my league.  Player I played against had "best round in a year" and beat me.

Today I played a new course and shot a 98.  Player I played against "had the best round all year" and whooped me by 10 strokes.

 

So if you want to have a great round, come out and play with me, apparently.

49-52 101. Atsugi Golf Course, Atsugi NAF Japan. Back 9 is closed due to irrigation system maintenance, so played the front twice. 

Very happy with the round overall. I feel like I am finally putting it together a bit.

Disappointed that I left some shots out there though. One bad (wedge!) OB on hole 1, ended up making 8. Hit some really great tee shots, and only one real bad one. Also hit some neat pitches and chips. Also chunked a couple of each of those. Felt like I made no putts. 

Second best score ever (100), and best in over 5 years, so, definitely happy with that! 

Gutted that I didn’t hold it together to break the century mark for the first time, though. 

First two holes were 8,7,5, last three holes were 7,7,4. Decently smooth sailing besides that.

No 9’s, 10’s or worse. That’s a big day for me! Things are trending the right way.

Hello everyone,

New member here getting back into playing after several months off, so I thought I would share my last two scores just because they kind of perfectly introduce my game.  I played about a week and a half ago at a fairly easy muni course (playing from the whites).  I shot an 82 (+6 front, +4 back).  I recently purchased a decent putter for the first time in nearly thirty five years of playing.  I proceeded to putt unbelievably well, hitting four long putts and only missing one short one.  Suffice to say, it was a complete reversal from my recent putting.  But, I know that no putter is going to magically make you a good putter....so naturally...

A week later I played an executive course with very shaggy greens.  (+10 front, +3 back).  Big shock (sarcasm), I putted very badly.  I hit the ball very nicely, but couldn't make anything of consequence and I choked a couple of short ones to boot.  I am starting to realize that the hardest thing about this game is just how hard it is to consistently execute shots, even if you have the ability to do it, actually doing it?  Over and over?  Very....very....difficult.

I am going to stop here because I fear I am already breaching forum etiquette by posting two scores and I don't want to introduce myself with an egregious forum misstep.  🙂

I have enjoyed reading the forum topics for a couple of weeks now, I hope to join in on some of the discussion moving forward.
