PlaidJacket Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Today was my first round of the new year. I've only played two rounds since just before and right after Christmas. Doesn't take long for me to build up some rust I suppose. Today I struggled on the front. Drove the ball well but my approaches, chipping and putting were off. I went out with a 44 including 2 doubles. On the back I recovered a bit without any doubles - one bird and in with a 36 for an 80. (Par 70 course) I'm playing again in the morning around 10. The forecast calls for 67* and breezy - 10-15+ mph. I expect to play much better. How was your first round of 2018?

JTexGolfer Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Played yesterday and today. First full rounds in over a month due to work and weather. My short game was bad, gonna blame it on rust.

arobledo1293 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 First round was pretty decent. I've been really working on my chipping pitching and irons these last few weeks. Had time to play nine holes last weekend. Shot 13 over but bad two blow up holes. Finally pared a par 3 though and had two birdie chances that I didn't convert unfortunately. My pitching and chipping still needs work with distance control. Keep leaving them short. Putting was pretty decent. Had 20 putts over 9 holes so I feel like that's ok. My driving is usually terrible and fade/slice everything to the right but this time I hit 85 percent of fairways straight in the middle. Still not hitting enough GIRs but I'm thinking this will be a big year for me. Looking forward to more rounds.

Kenny B Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 It was chilly yesterday; about 37* at 10am. The back nine was still closed because of goose poop. Here is #17 green with the perpetrators. Grounds crew was blowing off the goose poop from the putting green. I went to the range to hit a small bucket, and one of my usual walking buddies showed up. We hit a few balls, chatted, and then heard that the front nine was opening at noon. So we decided to play 9-holes. I rode in a cart because my foot is still not 100%, and froze my arse. Incentive to get better and walk!! The course as been close since before Christmas, so this was my first time out in over two weeks. Sandy par on the first hole and it was all downhill from there. Did not keep score and hit multiple shots on occasion, but it was nice to be swinging a club. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ole gray Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I shot 88 today and boy was it a struggle . I finally got to play with kingcscott who is a player! Beautiful ball striking day for Scott as he had everyone in our group gawking! I believe he shot a 74 and it could have been a few strokes better. ðŸŒï¸â›³ï¸ Looking forward to teeing it up again with Scott except he'll have to quit taking all our quarters.
