  1. Played on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday I shot 82 from the tips. Played pretty well with a few bad swings that cost me. Wednesday I played from the whites since there was a skins game and I wanted to win some money. No birdies and shot 92. Fairly certain that I have the yips from 40-100 yards although I've never experienced them before and always thought they weren't real. I must have chunked at least 14 shots in that distance range. Frustrating to say the least. It was so bad that the guys after the round were joking asking if I could give them lessons on wedge play. We had a good laugh about it, but I need to get it sorted out. The season is pretty much over, but I need to keep my pride in tact. It also seems like it's starting to leak into my iron shots. The good news is that I've been driving the ball and putting well.
  2. Had a pretty good week. Shot a personal best 77 from the whites then a couple 82s followed by a personal best 79 from the blues today. Member-member is this weekend so hopefully I can keep it up.
  3. I think this is the longest I've gone without buying a club. It's been two months.
  4. That pose. He already looks like a boss.
  5. Shot 82 at a tough course today. Lots of forced layups and carries. Left a bunch of shots out there but overall pretty happy considering I haven't played or practiced much lately.
  6. Congrats man! I'm still waiting for my first one. I'll blame it on our course only having two par 3s. Our club covers the first $300 if someone gets one which is nice.
  7. Lost my match today on 18. Struggled, had plenty of opportunities to win just couldn't capitalize. Spent a few hours at the range afterwards. Really need to start putting the practice time in again.
  8. Up from 8.3 to 9.0. Had a low score drop off and few higher ones jump in.
  9. The only thing I got out of this was pigs and acorns. Well done. Also, good putt.
  10. My Adams Red 4 hybrid is here. Just put the 25g weight in the toe. Heading to the range then to the course to see how it works out.
  11. Just ordered some touch up paint for my 5 wood thanks to my recent inability to strike a golf ball properly.
  12. The Adams Red hybrid came today. Unfortunately I won't be home until Friday. I plan on spending quite a bit of time at the range Friday to get a feel for it in addition to relearning how to strike the the ball properly which seems to be a big source of inconsistency lately.
  13. Picked up this beer koozie from the pro shop. Paid entirely way too much money for it but I had to have it. Also won an auction on the bay for a brand new Adams Red 23° hybrid for $45.
  14. Shot 82 from the tips today with two buddies. I figured out my iron/wedge issues after the front 9 they were getting to far back in my stance and I was getting pretty steep. Moved it a bit forward and started hitting solid shots again. Left a bunch of shots out there but think I made some good progress with my driver and irons so looking forward to tomorrow and Sunday.
  15. Fortunately I did. If I had made bogey there may have been more curse words and/or a club tossed around.
  16. Put a bid in for $45 on a Red 23°. 3 days left on the auction so we'll see what happens. Being LH might actually work in my favor for a change.
  17. Haven't tried those. Used to play 913 hybrids that weren't too bad with the adjustability. Everything else I've tried was a hook machine. I'be been looking at either the M1 hybrid or Adams Red for the ability to put the 25g weight in the toe. The Red is the substantially cheaper option.
  18. Trying to pick up an Adams Red 23° 4 hybrid. Hoping that it will reduce the draw/hook that I normally hit with hybrids.
  19. Hit a shot from 85 yards. Pitched 3 feet from the stick, hit it and bounced off, rolled 20 feet back off the green. Would've been tight if it didn't hit the stick.
  20. Played 36 yesterday after my 24 hour work shift on no sleep. Shot 85 from the blues in the morning followed by 82 from the whites in the afternoon. Best 9 was the back 9 of the afternoon round with 39 (2 over). For some reason, I'm not hitting my irons or wedges solid. Hitting a lot of thin shots. It's driving me crazy.
  21. 8.8 to 8.3 for me. Another personal best. Hoping to keep it going.
  22. I couldn't adjust to the slow greens. Was it windy?
  23. It's a tough track. How did you like it?
  24. Course was in good shape. Front 9 pretty much winds along the bay and the back 9 is more inland along the marshes with more trees. There was a good breeze on the front 9 so it wasn't too hot. Got a lot hotter and less breezy on the back 9. We teed off at noon though. Greens were in good shape just pretty slow but I'm use to greens that run around 12. Should've hit the putting green instead of the range beforehand.
  25. Haven't been able to play as much as I'd like this month. Got to play Lighthouse Sound in Ocean City, MD with a college buddy the other day. Hit my driver particularly well. Irons weren't solid but had a decent round going. Had a Tin Cup moment on 18. Par 5 dogleg left. Bombed a drive that left me with 160 in. Pulled 8 iron and shanked it into the weeds, gone. Dropped another ball and held it off way too much, into the bay left of the green. Dropped another ball and hit it to 15 feet. Two putts for an 8. Ended with 84. All in all had fun and it's a pretty cool track. Will be going back.
