Shot a 95 today.  Bad penalty on a par 3, but great par on a very long par 5.

trending 24.3 right now, but one more round and a 122 drops off.

Gamed a horrendous 95 on Sunday at Butternut Farm in Stowe, MA.  The worst round of the season by far.  Started off well with a 30 foot putt for par from the fringe but downhill from there.  However, I just got fit for a set of TM P790's from Club Champion and I felt the benefits immeditiately.  Par 3's have been my lifelong downfall and I faced a few longer holes (171 , 185) where I was able to play that distance without feeling like I had to kill the ball.  I went from D5 swingweight irons with S300 stiff shafts to D0 with steel fiber i95 regular shafts.  However, as the round went on a bunch of stupid crap bothered me.  There were some loud golfers out there, screaming when a putt buzzed by a hole etc, the grounds crew just mows no matter what you are doing, how close you are, a number of random tree branches hanging right at the best place off a tee box, and all that jazz just made me angry.  I ended up shanking two shots which I haven't done in years.  I was fuming.  It's all between the ears.

Played round 1 in my league today.  Played against the guy who won my flight last time, where I came in last.

Lost 5-4, but had every chance to win, except I didn't take them.

Shot a 51, with two snowmen.  Yuck.

Shot a 44-44=88 at Turkana Golf Course near E. Liverpool, OH. At least I'm consistent!

As I detailed in the "Uplifting Topic" thread above, this is an extremely hilly course, with large, very fast greens that are heavily contoured. I can't putt them! I 3 putted a ton, and a 2 putt was cause for celebration. Hit a lot of "shepherd's crook" putts today.

I could read them, the problem was getting the speed right.

A 90 at my home course.  9 on first hole, a par-4... snap-faded my second shot to the rough near the second tee box, somehow thought it was 125 yards from the green I was aiming at (WTF) so I hit a great 9-iron that didn't sniff in-bounds.  sigh.  Ton of bogeys, a birdie, not many pars (had a streak of them on holes 9-10-11, which was nice, and another at hole 15).  I think I only had four pars plus a birdie, and two of the four pars were on holes I'd describe as "nemesis holes."  Second nine, had a double and a triple on par-3s.  Learned a lot of what to not do in anticipation of next week's club championship.  My birdie (hit a tee shot to a foot on hole 3, a par-3) was worth $98 though (mostly in the skins game, plus closest to pin), so that was cool.

42. Pretty average for me this year. 

Could have been better, missed 3 par putts on 1, 2, and 3.

Hey, man, you're playing golf again?  Good to read.  I'm guessing you recovered from that injury.

Never stopped, just played through the pain lol

 

It's sort of a lifetime injury deal. It is what it is...right now I'm feeling pretty good.

87 (47/40):

9/14 FW

4/18 GIR (abysmal)

33 Putts (3 three-putts, 6 one-putts)

ball striking was terrible today and hitting only 2 FW on the front didn't help.

I shot myself in the foot today.

I could not hit any club.  If I had 10 good shots, that would be a lot.

I know it will all be OK and everything will work out, but I walked off the course ready to sell my equipment.

I actually stopped recording my score after 6 holes because it was going so badly and said to myself "just hit the next shot".  Nope.

On a positive note, my Fiancee beat my ass and she had a great day.

I had my best round yet on Sunday. A +13 round of 84 (42-42) at my local track.  This was with 36 putts, another poor performance in that regard.  Also, this was the first round that I played without losing a ball.  This was also my first triple free round and nearly was double free (only had one).  All in all, I am thrilled that my game is heading in the right direction (minus putting).  I attribute the scores to my much improved driving and generally playing within my abilities especially on par 5's.

82 on Friday - local course in WI that's normally nice.  It was pristine.  Still the cigarette butts and unrepaired ball marks just make me think golfers are assholes.  Fairways and greens like carpet though.  Kudos to the maintenance staff (and the recent rains)

77 yesterday a couple birdies on front both with good hybrid approaches on par 5's - about 3 groups in front of us were a pair of fat good old boys.  empty course past them and stacked up behind them.  Complete jerk on one of them, the other simply oblivious to the pace of play and inconvenience to the rest of the course.  No idea, lots of bluster.  Apparently one group played a couple holes with them and the one guy was mumbling about the groups behind and talking threats if they dare to hit up.  cliche and stereotype all in one

39 (+4) in men's league last night, which ties my best round there I believe.  Unfortunately I finished on a Bogey-Bogey-Bogey train at the end where I pulled all of my tee shots on those holes leading me to lose a shot in each case (I did have a couple other pulls throughout the day, but they weren't as damaging to my score).  I had a very good mental game though, I focused, got my pre-swing routine down and pictured the shot I wanted to hit and performed so it was a very easy-going round overall.

Woods: Ping G15 10.5* Draw Driver;   Ping G Series 14.5* 3 Wood;  Callaway 2019 Apex 19* 3 Hybrid

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!

      Wish I could have spent 5 minutes in the middle of the morning round to hit some balls at the range. Just did much more of right side through with keeping the shoulders feeling level (not dipping), and I was flushing them. Lol. Maybe too much focus on hands stuff while playing.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Last year I made an excel that can easily measure with my own SG data the average score for each club of the tee. Even the difference in score if you aim more left or right with the same club. I like it because it can be tweaked to account for different kind of rough, trees, hazards, greens etc.     As an example, On Par 5's that you have fescue on both sides were you can count them as a water hazard (penalty or punch out sideways), unless 3 wood or hybrid lands in a wider area between the fescue you should always hit driver. With a shorter club you are going to hit a couple less balls in the fescue than driver but you are not going to offset the fact that 100% of the shots are going to be played 30 or more yards longer. Here is a 560 par 5. Driver distance 280 yards total, 3 wood 250, hybrid 220. Distance between fescue is 30 yards (pretty tight). Dispersion for Driver is 62 yards. 56 for 3 wood and 49 for hybrid. Aiming of course at the middle of the fairway (20 yards wide) with driver you are going to hit 34% of balls on the fescue (17% left/17% right). 48% to the fairway and the rest to the rough.  The average score is going to be around 5.14. Looking at the result with 3 wood and hybrid you are going to hit less balls in the fescue but because of having longer 2nd shots you are going to score slightly worst. 5.17 and 5.25 respectively.    Things changes when the fescue is taller and you are probably going to loose the ball so changing the penalty of hitting there playing a 3 wood or hybrid gives a better score in the hole.  Off course 30 yards between penalty hazards is way to small. You normally have 60 or more, in that cases the score is going to be more close to 5 and been the Driver the weapon of choice.  The point is to see that no matter how tight the hole is, depending on the hole sometimes Driver is the play and sometimes 6 irons is the play. Is easy to see that on easy holes, but holes like this:  you need to crunch the numbers to find the best strategy.
