Your 1st Round of 2018


Recommended Posts

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?

Lake Superior is expected to have ice till JUNE. Course opened in April last year. I'm guessing mid May at the earliest.

Feeling your pain on the west end of the Upper Peninsula. I always consider April golf to be a bonus. Hoping to grab a round or two during some travel this spring.

Still  in the teens here, but temps are forecasted to hit 40's and 50's next week, but with some rain.  I'm sure that  will be enough to bring out some in shorts...ha

 

Dont' know if I'll  make it out, maybe 9 holes on the day it  hits in the 50's but this is my busy time of year believe it or not.

Should be Friday - our one week of winter broke today. The frosted car window is something that you rarely see in St Pete. I was at a conference in Orlando where it was a few degrees cooler.

Your right about the frost. Saw heavy frost the other morning. Killed a couple of SWMBO plants, she's not happy.

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. Drove the ball well and hit my irons good though. Lots of good signs from the G400 so far. Shot +3 yesterday and +1 today.

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.

Looks like my car every day... except my car's not red... and it's not a Hyundai.

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.  

 

IMG_0823.jpg

 

Grounds crew was blowing off the goose poop from the putting green.

 

IMG_0825.jpg

 

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.

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. 🏌️⛳️

 

Looking forward to teeing it up again with Scott except he'll have to quit taking all our quarters.

I played last Saturday.....had some issues with short game....the finess shots seem to be the first thing to go. Went out in 46 thanks to an ugly triple on the 7th hole, got a little better with a 42 on the back...so at least I broke 90.
