69, three birdies, no bogeys. Hit 14 greens, gave myself a lot of good chances and even though I didn't make anything, I hit a lot of good putts. One birdie was a two-putt, and the other two were up and downs to gimme range on par 5's. One three-putt for par but it was from 60ft.

I should also point out that the last couple weeks we've been playing lift, clean and place through the green since it's been raining/wet.

Last week was way too cold to play golf here in Florida. Down in the 40's. I know, most of this group would love to see 40, but for me, since I can play any day, 40 is just way too cold.

Friday it warmed up and late getting to the course, so I carded an 87. Saturdays round dropped to an 81, and yesterday, while I was on my way to an 81 or 82, I birdied 15 and 16 to bring it back to a respectable 79.

88!!! Okay, that was for 19 holes.  Our city's executive course leaves the "flat seven" open year round, conditions permitting.  I toured the "7" twice and skipped around a 3-some on #1 and did 3-7 a third time.

We had 8 inches of snow and then the "polar vortex" last week.  We approached record highs this past weekend.  All the show is gone.  Yes, everything is extremely soggy but I managed to make a few decent swings.

78 yesterday at emerald bay and 82 today at regatta bay.   I’m ok with how I played this trip since I hadn’t played in a few months.  Excited to work on my game for a couple months and wait for some good weather back home.

I shot a 75 today. I only played 8 holes.

I did par one hole. And it is not an easy par 5. I just managed to hit a good 3 wood from the fairway, followed by 2 good 7 iron shots. Then I holed the 12' putt. Easy peasy.

My golf swing is a bit rusty these days. I'm looking forward to some improvement in scoring, as the weather gets better. Yeah, I'm taking lessons.

I am on a roll and I hope it keeps on rollin'...Shot my 3rd consecutive round under 90.  Shot an 88, and for the first time I played a complete round with the same ball.  I did not lose one ball today.....

I played 54 holes last week.  I averaged 4.46 strokes per hole, which I am quite pleased with.

Just hitting, and putting the ball consistently well.  I have a pretty good streak going right now, which of course could end at anytime I suppose. 

Although I did not card any 6s, there were a couple of 5s on two par threes. However, those were offset  a little by a couple of 4s on two par 5s. 

I hit some good 6i approches, and I made a few long putts for par. Of course there were some not so good ball striking on my part. Luckily, my chipping, and putting saved the day more times than not. 

Just playing one hole, one stroke at a time.

I was just hoping this topic wouldn't come up today. After a 75 yesterday, I struggled to an 89 today. I can't remember the last time I had so much trouble. The front 9 was just terrible 49, but was able to come back with a 40 for the back. We'll see what tomorrow holds.

72 last week at TPC Summerlin from the TPC tees (6400) in maybe one of the coldest conditions I've ever played in.

71 today back home, hit 15 greens. Missed four birdie putts within 5ft and got a bad break where I drove it into a bunker and it plugged in the lip (made bogey). Not bad for the range being closed and only getting to practice once this week and not much last week either.

This was my drive on 15, and it wasn't like it was a high fade, solid medium flight draw.

92, esc score of 90.  It was not a good 2nd half.   The huge numbers on two holes done me in.  Otherwise, it would have been a good round.   Three bad drives (2 OB & 1 hazard) did all the damage.

68 yesterday. Played the par 5's in -5, had a silly 3-putt bogey from 20ft but overall solid round.

Unfortunately lost $10 😛

68, no bogeys. Wasn't swinging all that great but managed it well. Also got lucky with some of my bad drives.

I thought last week would go well. Started on Monday with a 77, and went downhill from there, 82, 82, 82, 82, and 82 yesterday. Some were pretty easy 41-41, but yesterdays was 36-46. I'll see what happens in about an hour. On the tee at 8. Then off Monday and Tuesday, then it's back on the course Wednesday-Sunday.

Played for the first time in nearly two months and it showed.

I wasn't expecting much, but the 49 I put up on the front of Kittyhawk GC's Eagle Course, tested my patience a fair bit. I actually wasn't too unhappy with my full swings. The driver was actually pretty solid, but the putter and wedge were nearly useless. Several attempts with the wedge were either chunked or skulled and I three-putted four holes.

It's still off season here, so the scorecard found the trash at the turn.

Well, that was fun. I moved back a set of tees, 6400 yds, and ended up shooting a 79 (40-39). I think I concentrated a little harder than normal.

    • I know what those are, and they were unofficial. They were mostly to create conversation… and promote Mark McCormack's own clients. What Matt said is correct: Tiger's career spanned 24 years. Regardless, 15 > 19 when factoring in the competition, and 82 >> 72 when doing so.
    • The McCormack rankings started in 1968. They used a nearly identical methodology as the original Sony rankings. except it was a three year look back vs two. Number of good years and total output is what matters when talking about the span of career.  All years are not created equally.
    • The OWGR didn't even exist until Jack was 46 years old. So… What he said is true. Jack turned pro in 1961. He won his last PGA Tour event in 1986. That's 26 years. Tiger turned pro in 1996. He last won a PGA Tour event in late 2019. That's a span of 24 years. What he said is true. Tiger's "career" (not counting 2020-2024 where he played a handful of events each year, like Jack often would) lasted 24 years.
    • People don't realize it because it isn't true.   Tiger had the following money list rankings in years you are counting as part of his career span. 68, 128, 201, 162, NA, NA, 24, 38, 223, 225   Nicklaus didn't drop out of the top 10 in the world golf rankings until he was 44. Nicklaus had 10 more years where he had a top ten finish in a major than Tiger has had as of now.
