72-78 last weekend at my home course. Giving golf a little more time in my life and i´m trying to improve thru some swing changes. Off the tee and mid/long approach shots are pretty awfull rigth now, lots of shots to improve.

Both days i played almost the same, driving it all over the place. With good approach shots, thanks to the swing change, and decent short game and putting.
The difference was because off 2 triple bogeys on the 2nd round. First from 90 yards on the 7th hole while i was 1 under par, miss short left to a bunker with a ridiculus amount of sand. bladed it to the other side. Had bad luck, it didn´t fall into the bunker, really akward stance and the ball was like in US open rough where it should be fairway when the course is properly maintained, 1 foot in any direction was ok. Moved the ball just 5 feet. Chip shot to 3 feet and mised the putt (punched greens).
The 2nd came on 17th standing at +2, 15 footer for par, missed and full around with the next 3 putts.

I´m working with my driver this week and i saw a bit of improvement. Will see if i could transalte it into the course this weekend. The winter si coming.. i need to hurry up!

I shot an 84 yesterday, which was good enough for third out 8 places is our "Old Guys-Old Friends" get together. I missed a few putts I thought I should have made. Had 32 putts. Those in front of me finished with a 79, and 81 respectively. All of us are 65 or older.

On another note while on the 18th green, after all was done, there was some debate on which way the green was sloping. We all had missed putts. It was a subtle break. I said it was two breaks, for which I was laughingly chastised for. 

So we employed the old water bottle trick to see the actual break. This is done with a half (+/-) empty bottle laid on it side, much like one would use a level. The water line would show the break. 

I was right. It was a double breaker....lol

99 (71/135). First time breaking 100 in awhile now and to actually beat my course handicap by three strokes in my first round since I have been working on my new swing (lesson was two weeks ago) Im pretty happy! Only lost two ball. Course was in horrible shape, just horrible. Slowest greens I can remember putting on.

I finally broke 100 today - carded a 98 for 18 holes on a par 72 course. Five pars and all of them up and downs. I guess there's still some room for improvement... :-D

I played 19 holes shot 89 on the 18 Not bad for me. I play number 8 back to the house I hit every fairway and was driving excellent for me. I did have trouble with a couple trees but biggest blow up was a double. First time to break 90 this year.

Yaaay! New record for me today - 93. A bit of a bummer when I entered the score into GHIN and it said something like "WARNING - this score is lower than the golfer's usual score". Sheesh!  :-)  I had fewer blowup holes and quite a few up and downs. 6 one putts, 10 2 putts and only 2 3 putts. Hit all but a couple of the fairways. It was a good day for an old geezer like me!

74 Saturday, 68 Sunday and 67 today.

Had three eagles today, the one on #2 is basically a birdie though. Ball is starting to run out again, hit a perfect drive, caught the downslope and hit wedge to a couple feet. 3-wood on #4 from around 270 downhill/downwind to 10 ft and hybrid from 240 on #17 to 4ft, again downhill and downwind.

Yesterday’s round:

81 (138) for a diff of 8.1...obviously a good round for me. I had 7 one-putts that saved me as my approaches sucked terribly. Driver was the worst it’s been in a while, kept leaking everything right. Anyways, a good score for this guy nonetheless.

What a funny game. Yesterday, I couldn't do anything wrong. 3 bogeys, 3 birdies, and 12 pars for a 72.

Todays round was a different story. Started out bogey, double, triple, bogey, for the first 4 holes, 7 over before even getting going. Ended up the front 9 with a 45. The back was a different story. Par, birdie, par, birdie, bogey, bogey, par, eagle, bogey for a 35. I wish I knew what I did to make that drastic a difference.

This is not really what I shot since it was a scramble my wife and I played. It was in the low 40's, windy and some rain. We decided it was so bad we would play a two person scramble. We had almost no people in front of us all day and played in 2 1/2 hours, shot 37/38 75. My wife is 74 and I am 76 so it felt like we accomplished a good round Friday.

      Dean Knuth's Blog Post on the WHS

      By iacas · Posted

      Let's continue on… Cool. The thing is, nobody's claiming par is "reliable" and par's inclusion piggy-backs in the course rating, which is awfully close to par and, thus, brings par in to make it make sense. Once again, for those in the back… (CR - Par) just makes it really easy to know what kind of score you need to shoot to best, match, or play worse than your handicap index. Yes, when par is different, the players from the higher par tees get an extra stroke (72 vs. 71, the 72s get an extra stroke. That makes sense and is a small complication (more info at https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/handicapping/roh/Content/rules/Committee%20Content/USGA/LG_R6d.htm). However, most of the time, this adjustment will not be needed, as many courses play to the same par for the same genders from all sets of tees. And, the rare times it is needed, par (measured in whole numbers, integers) and strokes (also whole numbers/integers) map easily and the idea is easily grasped. Dean seems to be unaware of the fact that most every golfer carries something orders of magnitude more powerful than the highest end desktop computers available the last time he consulted with the USGA in their pockets. While it is quaint that his club puts printouts by the first tee… get with the times, Dean. Look up your handicap index and course handicap in the GHIN app and get on with it. It's a better system than the one that didn't account — at all — for a difference in the playing conditions (via an algorithm, not a judgment). Dean's assertions about the "less precise system because of par" continues to make absolutely zero sense. Right, it still changed tee to tee. Now it just changes differently… and in a way that more accurately reflects the score you need to shoot to play to your handicap. Previously, a 1.1 index would get 1 stroke on a 66.7/122 par-72 course. Now they give four strokes back to the course and must shoot 68 to play to their handicap. This makes way more sense. The 18-shot difference is a pretty extreme example. Maybe a long course that also offers a par-three set of tees could play that long, but… man, that's not going to be super common. Sensationalistic much, Dean? Also, once those unhappy (complete assumption) golfers realize a) what the change shows them (playing to net par = playing to your index) and b) realizes that their differential is going to be the same… I think they'll get over their initial questions. No. And yet… if he shoots the same scores, he'll get the same handicap index he has now. But he'll know on each course what score he needs to shoot to "play to his handicap." Sheesh, Dean. This stuff isn't that hard to figure out. Enough with the sensationalistic stuff. I don't find it "unacceptable" at all. Then again, I'm not nearly 80 and seemingly incapable of doing basic math these days. No. This literally makes no sense, as that part of the differential calculation and the course handicap calculation remains identical. Good! No. Categorically wrong. They should have been adjusting their handicaps all along. Previously it was by subtracting the course ratings. Which… is still basically what's done, with the addition of the course rating being "baked in" to the course handicap calculation. Dean is wrong here, or doing some math heretofore unknown by the world. When par is the same, what determines the difference in handicaps? The course rating, which Dean loves! Sheesh! You had to things when players were in situations like this before, too. This is getting exhausting. He keeps using words like "less precise" and "unfair" but does not seem to understand what they mean. This is like the Princess Bride meme: "you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." The caps reduce upward movement. Committees have reign to reduce a player's handicap, and there's still an automatic Exceptional Score Reduction. I'm going through these more quickly now because… well, it's silly how badly Dean misses the mark with this blog post. Dean is literally confusing the upward movement (with the soft and hard caps) here with the exceptional score reduction which is used when lowering handicaps due to an exceptionally good score. The creators of the WHS are handicap experts. They know more about the current state of handicaps/handicapping than the Pope Emeritus. It's been shown to have almost no effect across all handicaps. Yes, some 36s under the old system are now 35s under the new system. Yawn. He should have stopped there. It's easier to apply and makes more sense. This makes no sense. It's "not complex" but players will have to guess? And, for men or women, the stroke index of each hole doesn't change because they play a different set of tees. They get a different number of strokes, but it's always been true that when you get 14 strokes you apply a stroke to stroke index holes 1-14, and when you get 11, to just holes with a SI of 1-11. Objection, your honor. Assumes facts not in evidence. Dean's just out here continuing to make shit up about "the inaccuracy of par" and ignoring that with Par (an integer) came the Course Rating, which he agrees is precise and accurate. No. No, this is inaccurate. Also, as noted, you can randomly assign stroke indexes, and so long as all the low numbers or all the high numbers are not clumped together at the beginning or ends of the 18 holes, matches generally work out the same. This is inaccurate. It is an algorithm that looks at scores. That's it. Also, this is better than a system like the prior one where no such thing existed at all. Wildly inaccurate and off-base. Did they do actual testing? No need. They have millions and millions of rounds and ran many, many, many simulations. That's testing. Dean seems to continue to be unaware of the fact that computers are more powerful now than they were in 2002. But, he's nearly 80, so we can understand if not going so far as to give him a pass on how much he gets wrong. Cool. Noted. For the most part that was because many countries haven't been able to rate enough of their courses. :sigh:

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By StuM · Posted

      Shot 48 yesterday.  For me bogey golf is good.  I was 10 over through 7 and figured with a Par 3 and 4 coming on all I needed was birdie / par to get my 45. I had a great tee shot on #8 and sunk  a 5 footer for birdie, game was coming together, now just needed par on #9. Had a great tee drive and the green was within range for a hoped GIR or nGIR.  But I pulled the shot left into tall weeds and needed to take a drop.  So much for par, but a bogey for 46 is still good for me. I hit my lob wedge to get over a small tree and saw the ball riding nicely  on line to the pin when my club hit the ball a 2nd time on my follow through causing the ball to change directions and ended up @ pin high but along the same tall weeds I just took an unplayable out of.  had no room for a backswing, Just hacked at it and it shot across the green to the rough on the far side.  Needed a chip & 1 putt got a triple bogey. you can see the hole fall apart in the screenshot below.
