What'd You Shoot Today?

[p1n9183]

73-70-74-71 on my last 4 rounds at my home course. (6500 yards, par 72, rating 70.2). Enough to keep it at 1 handicap for the moment. The bad is that i finished 2nd in every round.

May 29 - Stonebrook in Shakopee league play filling in for a co-worker. Shot 37 (+2) on the front 9 with a birdie on #9. Then we played the back 9 for fun and shot 41 (+6) for a 79.

I have been wandering in the wilderness, golf style.  My game has been atrocious.  I am supposedly a "9-10" handicap but lately I have done a very good impression of beginner.  Two days ago I shot a 97. Nothing about my play indicated that I was formerly a competent golfer.

Today was our 2nd tournament of 2018.  I was paired with three excellent players and, frankly, I was worried about stinking out the place.  Okay, my 81 (69.8/130) was not great but I didn't force my playing partners to experience another melt down.

Greatly relieved.

[Osnola]

Shot 88....missed 5 par putts....could have really done well today.

[Rkrider99]

75 today. 2 birdies, 1 bogey, 13 pars, 2 double bogeys. The doubles were totally my fault. Going for a green on a par 5 that I couldn't have reached with my best shot, and a 2 foot tap in that I just walked up to a swiped at it. I vow to play smart golf starting tomorrow.

Played 72 holes this week. Averagd 4.60 per hole. I had, for me, a poor first round on tues. 87-82-80-80 in that order. 

Missed a couple of 5' foot putts today that could have given me a 79, or 78. One even lipped out. I think a coyote farting threw me off just enough on that one. 

My putting was ok averaging 30 per round. Made a few long ones. 

Didn't finish last in any of the 4 groups, all strangers, that I played with. 

Just a good week of golf.

+12 on an unconventional rotation. I played 1 jumped to 9 when I saw a group that had been in that same spot on #2 for 15 minutes. I played 10 - 16 and headed to the house due to rumbly skies. It was pouring shortly after I left the course, so that was certainly a good decision.

The good: I only missed one fairway today.

The bad: Distances are really bad. Not getting any roll as wet as it has been.

The ugly: Short game and putting. It's taking 3-4 strokes when I'm close to the green.

[Zippo]

Shot a 95 today. Only two 3 putts but also only two 1 putts. Overall ball striking is improving so there is hope. Handicap should go down a bit for this month so that's good.

[jmanbooyaa]

Shot an 87 today. 

[Rkrider99]

77 today, 2 birdies, 11 pars, 3 bogeys, and 2 doubles. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

I shot a 103, but I am not that disappointed.  My lack of disappointment stems from the fact that it was a course that I had never played before; Lanier Islands Legacy.  We played from the blue tees, which have a rating of 71.0 and a slope of 137.  It's not overly long at 6193 yards, but there are a ton of forced carries over the edge of Lake Lanier, and it was pretty windy.  I also hadn't been on a golf course since the first week of April, so I haven't had much practice.

On a positive note, I played really well out of the sand and only chunked one shot.

On a negative note, I had a bout with the shanks on hole seven after hitting a nice drive.

[Cantankerish]

90.  45 and 45. Osprey Pointe. Among my best rounds ever - I shot 90 two other times.  Truth is that I have shot 89 twice, but both on a par 70 course.  So I am not calling those breaking 90. I lipped a four footer on the 18th to screw this one up.  Frown Town.  But it was a fine, happy day.  Hey, and I only paid $9.63 to play.

86, Carillon Golf Course in Plainfield. 

[tehuti]

Shot a 95 today. Second sub-100 round in a row, par 70 course. LSW and a few of the course strategy videos I have been watching are really making a difference. I am hitting the ball a bit better and with less stress while also making much better decisions on the course. Gotta keep it up.

[gjunkie57]

Shot 92, 43 front 49 back, Timbers at Troy from the blue tees.  6 pars on the front.  I am seeing a trend of higher scores on the back nine.

more work to do.  

Oh, LSW is spot on.  The closer to the pin you are the lower the score.

Gorgeous day for golf here in Ohio yesterday.  Hadn't touched a club in two weeks due to rain and traveling some.  Shot an 82 on what is more or less my home course.  9 pars.  Was pushing all my drives left.  Not my usual slice, dead straight, but just left of where I was aiming.  Had three 3 putts.  One of those was just a pure misread and the other two should've been two putts.  Missed all three good birdie looks I had. Definitely need to practice my putting soon.  Was making solid contact with my irons most of the day, just wasn't as sharp aiming as I would have liked. Missed a couple wedges into greens that cost me 3 or 4 stokers.  Overall for feeling like I didn't play very well, I managed to score half way decently.  Definitely have some things to work on, but feel like I'm going in the right direction.

On another note, I finally broke down and signed up for an official handicap through my local golf association.  I'm an 11.1, trending towards 11.6 after today's round .  I included all my scores going back three years.  I feel like I'm playing a lot better this year than in years past, and if I only looked at this years scores I've been playing around a 7.2, according to some internet handicap calculator.  Hopefully I can bring my handicap down to single digits eventually.  Want to try and play some local tournaments later this year or (more likely) next year once I get a new iron set.
