Yesterday...to be precise.  Tied 3-3 at the turn then got routed on the back nine.  We play out the entire 18...so I lost 8-5.  Too many off-course adventures.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

Shot a 79 yesterday.  Got a quick lesson before my round to work on driver swing and chipping.  The adjustments seemed to help.  I was hitting my irons really well all day.  Possibly the best I've ever hit them for an entire round.  MIssed some easy putts on the front, but made a lot of putts to save par on the back.  Made 7 pars in a row at one point in the middle of the round.  Overall a great day.

79 today no warm-up with limited time >> 45 front 9............ then 34 back 9 (my best ever back 9 --two under par )

102. Was late, only hit about 20 shots on the range and couldn’t hit a 7 iron on the range for the life of me. 

Then I started with a birdie on a 400 yard par 4... if I could get rid of the 3-4 blowup holes I could break 90... 

I had two 9s on my scorecard today...

Did hit my longest ingame drive though 265 yards, and I had 4 1 putts vs 2 3 putts and this is a course known for its fast greens.

76 today. That's after 12 rounds in the last 11 days. No real score for the last 4 days. They were games like alternate shot, scrambles, straight match play. Tomorrow, I rest. I need it!

forgot to post - played on the 6th (right before we get blasted with a foot of snow last weekend)

2 over 74 on a shorter easier course. but seriously, great start to the season.  (3 holes were chopped short with temporary tees).  2 bogies and a lot of pars.  more regulation than most, but I'm jazzed about getting up and in on the misses.

I'm hitting really clean (like the last in mexico), still terrified of my 5 iron, and my putting is greatly improved within 8 feet - some significant changes over the winter.  I think these will stay for a bit.

Played yesterday in the strongest wind I have ever played in. The ball would not remain on the tee, flagsticks and cups were blown over and out of the hole. Shot 44 on 9 and packed it in due to lightning. Hit a 5 150 and PW 170 due to wind. At least 3 club wind. Makes you appreciate the British open a little more wind you see the flagsticks bent in half

104 on Saturday (4/13) - working on flattening out my driver club path to eliminate a slice. Not very consistent creating a really "entertaining" two way miss. Didn't hit irons well at all either.

Shot 91 last Saturday (4/6). Irons were well above average, kept driver in play on all holes. 

Both days were mid 70s weather with a light breeze - SoCal Golf!!!

Shot an 87 on Saturday, which was about 6-10 shots better than my recent trend, and more in line with what I'm used to playing. Probably would have done better if it wasn't for half-sandy greens, some of which were very slow while others were almost normal speed. 

Oh and the guys behind our foursome complained about playing slow, so I invited them to play through. We finished in 4:40, so if they want to rush, that's okay, but a walking foursome on a hilly municipal golf course playing in 4:40 is pretty good in my book. I wasn't the guy slowing down the group, but I do hate feeling rushed.

86 for me today. (40/46) finished up the round in a 2 club wind. Way too many 5 stroke holes, and  very few pars.

Missed some putts due to ground winds blowing the ball off line. Had 33 putts. 

The wind is bringing in tomorrow's thunder storms I guess.. 

Had a great time anyways.

41/41 for an 82. 29 putts. A little windy at times, but decent weather none the less.

Just played pretty steady golf. Nothing real bad, and nothing real good. I did luck in a 20 footer (+/-) for a par. 

Played with a couple of tourist visiting from Germany. Good conversation with them. Kind of fun to know what the Europeans think of America.

45/39 for an 84 .. was played at a hilly parkland course with very heavy rough and slow recent cored greens took me some time to get my head in the game .. also playing with some local members in their club day ..

First ever eagle on a PAR4 450yards nice chip shot just kept on rolling

6 penalty shots hurt the score... far too many lost balls

Shot 90 today, 40/50.

Had a very nice birdie on par 5 at the 6th hole ( I was 2 over after that hole), winning it for my team but it all went down hill from there. Could not buy a par for the rest of the day, even it was nGIR and even 2 or 3 three putts.

Luckily my friends struggled today too so I still came up winning a little bit. 

Plan to see my instructor next week. Feeling my ball striking improved a lots recently but the scores are just so so. My goal this year would be break 80.

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
