What'd You Shoot Today?

[Elmer]

Shot an gross 87.
net 68, to take my league championship.

Tried to give it away with a blow up-triple bogie on 18, but held on to win by 1 stroke!

80 at Muang Keaw golf resort in Bangkok - 3rd time.  Played the back first 44 (terrible game, wet and tight lies and I couldn't get the rentals to do anything but hard draw, I couldn't get an iron to fade no matter how I set up.  driving fine, and once I figured out the irons, the heat here I got at least a club extra for all my irons).  But then the front played 36 - 2 birdies, 2 bogies.  Figured out the irons at the end, certainly not set up for me.

cool thing though, got matched up with a couple pros for a 3 group.  Great guys, positive, talkative, really supportive of my game.  Very cool.  One plays the Thai and other tours and was just starting - guy could BOMB it.  the other is a regular on the Asian Tour - super cool, his approach game and putting were amazing.

I learned a lot and had a great time.  Just in awe of the ability of these guys to hit such tightly lined up approach shots.  Next trip, I'm bringing my own clubs too.

77 with an eagle and a water landing (clubs of choice were Knight for shorter and Taylor for longer) 

[Uncle Peter]

41 on the front nine of my home course from the white tees. No doubles, made excellent contact with all my irons, was one of my best!

I shot an 81, 39/42, yesterday at a favorite course. I've slowly been getting better with my new set up, but yesterday everything clicked. I even had 4 bad drives but managed to recover for bogeys on those. 

The only downside was being behind a really slow foursome. 5 hour round.

Played 18 yesterday in semi, 2 club windy conditions. I say "semi" because not all the holes were effected by the wind. Some were full blown, while others had little, or no wind.

Shot an 84 for my efforts. (42/42). I was consistent. I probably let the wind rob me of 2 or 3 strokes. On a couple of greens, the wind moved my ball off line. I should have allowed for it.

Weather right now is perfect for golf on most days, and I will be taking advantage of it. Especially in the later mornings.

Played another 18 earlier today. Same course as yesterday. Shot an 80. (39/41)

Played consistent golf again, with putting (28) helping my score out. Also had two chip ins that also helped out considerably. Both of those were for par. 

Nothing but pars, and bogies, (10/8) which is pretty normal for me. 

My self imposed time away from playing seems to be helping out. Lots of energy these past few rounds.

Yesterday's round has me hanging the clubs up for a while. Replaced the oldest score on the handicap sheet, a 79, with the newest one, shot yesterday, a 97. Maybe a couple weeks layoff will bring the game back.

[Bobby2Swings]

Shot a 98 at Green Harbor in Marshfield, MA. 

47/51

Played the blue tees and drove the fringe on a 280 yrd par 4 which felt pretty good. It felt like my best ever despite the score not showing that.

[Groucho Valentine]

Shot 165 over two rounds over the weekend.

wtf...🤯

Shot 85 today at Heron Lakes (63/107). Very short course (5k) but extremely tight (one hole has about 25yards between out of bounds left and right) and lots of hazards. Actually hit the ball really well. Lost 2+ strokes to scratch off the tee and 7+ on shots approaching the green. Pretty good for me. 3 “blow up” holes otherwise I would have been close to going sub 80 which I have only done at that course once. 

[HJJ003]

Shot 93 today (69.3/121, 6150 yards). Pretty good ballstriking day, especially considering I wasn playing with clubs I had never played with before at a course I have never played on before. Kings Deer is a true target golf course, but I managed it well. 6 pars and 1 Bird! All my blow up holes were the early on getting used to hitting woods I had never hit before. Fun day. Beautiful Course. oh and my handicap is now trending to its lowest point in nearly a year!

Shot 73 in the morning round of our county championship. A mix of the top pro's and amateurs. I was leading the field by a shot and considering the lowest handicap amateur was off plus 3 I thought I did quite well.

Got to the afternoon round and I got a bit tired shot 79. Tied for 10th overall.

Never mind  always next year...

[Bucki1968]

75 yesterday at club. Two 75’s in a row with no birdies. Hitting it good but just not making the birdie putts. Frustrating.

[phan52]

Bad 87. Two balls OB and only 3 fairways hit. I can't drive the ball in play anymore. 

[cindysbike]

Played on Friday and shot a 69 (front nine on a par 3 course).  Finished with a 70 on the back nine for a total of 139 for the course and I couldn't be happier!  I started playing a couple of months ago.  Worked on the range for a few weeks. Even took a couple of lessons just so that I'd be able to actually make contact with the ball off the tee, rather than digging up divots behind the ball and whiffing completely.  I've played maybe 3 or 4 times on an actual course and I am improving.  Just have to learn to stay away from the water (just telling myself NOT to hit the ball into the water seems to always result in a very loud SPLASH every time!) and develop some putting skills (aim is good - can't gauge speed yet) and maybe some day I'll be able to break 120.

I'm a 65 year old, old broad but feel like a kid lugging my clubs around the course. I don't know why but this game is so addicting!

two weekends to report -

Last weekend - 77 at a tight little target golf course near here - wife shot a personal best - I got my 5th eagle ever (that's 2 in 2 weeks).  18th hole - I'm not sure I've ever even gotten par on that hole before - I tend to mess up the line of my tee shot right up front.  510 yards, Driver, 3w, 22 foot putt.

Friday - YAY fall rates are here.   Played my favorite in the area White Eagle.  Solid 79 - empty course - lots of wildlife.  I have the same issue every time playing the last Par 5.  Always forget the hole and cut the corner too tight.  I need to play that course more than annually.

Saturday - local track - 77 - Amery Town Course.  Very windy.  Kept checking the FedEx Cup result the entire time.  A couple years ago at this course I logged the most birdies in a nine ever.  NOT this round.

I'm really striking my irons nice, pretty much all my striking is good.  If I could sink some putts I could go really low.  Just burning edges constantly.  Lots of regulation golf - it's a good place to be IMO.  I'll take it.  I need help with my two longest irons. though.

 

Fall rates starting - I'm gonna hit all the extra nice course locally for the next few weeks.  Before the weather turns.
