Played 9 yesterday at The Fairways at Twin Lakes. Shot a 45, which was OK since I've got tennis elbow in my left arm. It didn't show up in any air swings, but holding the club and swinging is another matter. Time to get the strap out guess.

Just make sure that Hellcat isn't leaking fuel...recall for every one sold.

The hardest I've played so far is at Treasure Lake in DuBois, PA. The Gold course...kicks my arse every time, especially the Par 3 17th, hill top to hill top, you better make the green cause it's a long way up from the bottom of the hill.

Maybe the lie needs to be tweaked a bit more upright so you don't have to choke down that little bit.

Played at San Carlos in Ft Meyers yesterday. Out the gate with a 273 yard drive straight down the guts, 8 iron on the green and 1 putt for birdie. Ended up with a 41 on the front before the slide started. Shot a 90 for the 18, which I was happy about considering I haven't played since October. The new iron and hybrids are fantastic!

Still have to get my arse in gear and order a couple of dozen.

I wear a watch every day, stainless Seiko Sports 150 I bought in San Francisco in 1997. I don't, however, wear it when I play. Keys, wallet and watch go into the valuables pocket of my bag.

Congratulations mnfats! I played my last round for the year yesterday. In a word, terrible. I told my golf partner that next year, as soon as the leave start to fall, I'm done. It was just not an enjoyable round at all because of the leaves. Hit a shot that in "normal" conditions would be fine and you can't find the ball, take a drop and a stroke...not fun.

Good on ya foz! Good luck today.

Shot a 93 at DuBois Country Club in PA. The front 9 was a very ordinary 50, but I caught fire on the back. Especially the 18th. Fired the driver straight down the middle 256 yards. Left me with either a layup before a creek or go for 2 at 210 yards. I got talked into (didn't need much influence) going for it and hit a nice draw with my 3H 199 yards to be on the frog hair. Putted 24 yards, then 2 putted for par. Considering the greens were running at 10, I was happy with my putting and very happy to have posted 93 with such a poor start on the front.

Not well and it's bugging me. Just a lot of stupid mistakes and my hcp is going up, not down. I'm going to commit myself to practice this winter in the garage range and see what I can do next year. Yesterday's round was windy and the greens were like lightening. The highlight though, was my second shot on 16 par 5. Hit a 4 hybrid 256 yards (1 yard less than my drive) because of the wind and the roll out, to be on the green putting for eagle...which I then proceeded to 3 putt for a par.

Thanks Rev.

Like an arse and I don't want to talk about it.

Congratulations! I remember my first and sadly there's only been 1 more.

Shot a very stinky 95, but had 3 pars and a birdie that was through a chip-in from 30' off the green.

Shot a 92 at Tannenhauf in Alliance, OH. First time I've played there and have to say that I'll definitely be back. It's just a nice course. Rain held off for the most part, except for #9 and it only drizzled, so I guess I was lucky. I played as a single because my partner is still out after having his pacemaker played with, but I managed to get around in 2.5 hours.

And a good birdie it was too!

Not real good. Had moments of madness and brilliance. But I had fun playing with Mr_Theoo.

Played reasonably well on the front 9 at Raintree in Green, Ohio. Shot a 45. Was excited to continue the back nine and came off like a deflated balloon...that's golf I guess.

I played like a wounded duck...less said the better.

Wish I shat a 78! LOL I know what you meant Rev.

Played yesterday at a bit of a pasture called Deer Pass in Seville, Ohio. Shot a 91 which is a bit of an improvement over last week but considering the difference in course quality, I "should" have shot at least this or better. I really need to go to the driving range and reassess my distances. A few time I was over the green by one club compared to what I was last year.

Shot 102 yesterday at Fox Den Golf Club in Stow, OH. I had moments of brilliance but usually follow them up with shot of such disaster it makes me sick thinking about them. Like Mr Theoo, I played the back 9 better than the front. The G20 is definitely staying in the bag. I'm constantly amazed at how much more distance and how much straighter it is.

First round in anger since October. Haven't swung a club since then either. New G20 12* driver is outstanding. It's staying in the bag. As for the score...it's better than last years effort at a...........wait for it 101. Left a lot out on the course including putts, but hopefully the rust has been knocked off a bit and we'll see what happens next Sunday.

Congratulations Westy!
