JBones Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 After hitting a few balls this morning, I realized that I was hitting the ball so bad, because I had an extremely weak grip. After making an adjustment, I was back to hitting the ball as normal, so I went out to the same course. Wow, what a difference a day makes. While it goes down as me only hitting 6/14 fairways, I only hit it outside of the first cut twice. I lipped out an eagle on 14 and birdie putts on 3,8, and 15.

JBones Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Had to be lots of "Golf Shots" in that one. Oh, there were, starting on the first hole (10). I push a drive right, that hit a tree and kicked farther right; I had 220 into a light breeze and I hit a hybird to 15'. On number 13 I hit it 10' off the fairway and ended up right behind a giant oak tree. I could either hit it straight right, back out to the fairway and try to get up and down from 90yds or I could Tin Cup it. I took a 7i and punched it 20yds between two trees to the cart path and it ran on it all the way to pin high, then I almost chipped it in. That was the shot that really got my round going. There were more, but those were the best two. Follow @GolfspyBones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPY VIP Tony Covey MGS Posted June 15, 2011 Author SPY VIP Share Posted June 15, 2011 Things are improving (perhaps GolfSpy Dave inspired me). I'm not worried too much about my swing, instead I'm trying to focus on course management and the mental game (letting go of bad shots). Way right rough, low punch under branches, robbed by a greenside tree, chip, putt (WAAAAAy long) putt, putt Golf shot, putt, putt Fairway, perfect layup, fat wedge, good shot that landed two feet short and didn't roll down, chip on, putt, putt Missed the green left (rolled down a small hill), chip up, putt Fairway, right side, chip on, putt, putt Fairway, more fairway, golf shot, putt putt Right side rough, just off the back, chip, putt Fairway, golf shot, putt, putt Skulled, flubbed, chipped to 15 feet, putt. No lost balls, no penalties. The triple hurt, and the double is a joke considering where I was in two. Made 4 on 18 though, and I certainly didn't deserve better than 5.

finalist Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Here's one that killed me. It's a tournament round, but I elected not to pay an extra $20 to enter the NCGA Qualifier and a Skins game that was also concurrent with the club T. I only entered the basic stroke play. Had I entered the Qualifier and the skins game for this event I would have won an all expenses paid trip to the next event in Monterey and the skins would have been $150. I did get some shop credit for the basic event though... Number 6. Miss fairway to the right hit lob wedge from rough to opposite corner of the green. Lagged putt to four feet... then 3 putted from four feet. That hurt. I spy with my little eye something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RookieBlue7 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Just got home from vacation, and am trying to get both scorecards input into Golfshot. Got the first, and I'll share it. 1 bad hole cost me an under par round, first in a looooooong time too. You can see which hole it is I'm sure. The par 4's where it shows 2 putts(and the eagle on one), I drove the green. It's a fun little course that I play down there, it's short, but the price is right, plus I can show up there at 6:00AM and be first out. Played it once. The bad hole went like this: Drive left onto a dune (which was marked as a lateral hazard with a sign that said you have to drop outside the dune/staked/roped area because it's a protected habitat or something to that effect and that persons disturbing the dune would be subject to prosecution and to drop where you crossed the hazard. I dropped at the last place I saw it crossing the hazard (which was 50 yards back outside the roped off area, leaving me 223 in according to my GPS) and assessed myself the penalty for the hazard.). So I'd hit my drive there, drop 2, hit 3. 3rd shot went OB right of the green(hitting the new Rescue 11 hybrid I still haven't adjusted all the way, this was the first time hitting it on a course, period). Drop 4, hit 5. 5th went OB right of the green again, drop 6, hit 7. Punched/stinger 7th just short of the green with a 5 iron. Chipped on and it checked quick, 2 putted from 45 feet for the 10 on the hole, and that's how I went from under par to over par. Oh, and the 1st hole was the 21 degree Rescue 11 hybrid off the tee. Mind you this course has no range and a putting green that looks like they just mowed the grass down and stuck a few cups up in it. True muni if there ever was one. So I wasn't loose at all when I started, which is why I dumped the first tee ball of the day ob.

GolfSpy WD Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 My driver and I were not speaking to each other at all until the 18th, when I actually faded the ball like I wanted to. I also collapsed epically on several holes after getting into trouble, should have laid up, but went for it and failed That said, I was pretty happy with my chipping and putting for once, so hopefully I'll break 90 soon. @GolfSpy_WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy WD Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I know it's a par 3, but still my best round to date, especially the back 9 without a single double. What's great about this course is it uses every club in my bag except the driver (longest hole Sunday was #18 at 220 yards uphill == 3w for me). I missed a few birdie opportunities that I hope to capitalize on next time, but I did finish with a bogey save on 18 with a 10 yard putt after my tee shot hit a tree branch and dropped like a rock. I'm none too proud of missing so many greens, but I definitely improved my swing over the round and feel I can do much better next time. @GolfSpy_WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamo Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 This isn't like the Hacker Support thread, is it? Am I allowed? Shot +1 72 yesterday. Short game was terrible and led to 5 bogeys, but 14 of 18 greens and 11 of 13 greens gave me 4 birdies. http://jamo1358.webs.com/rounds/20110718-p42.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBones Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I played a practice round yesterday, as I have city qualifying this Saturday. This was the result. We started on 10 and I decided I was going to do an experiment. I have been hitting my driver horrible this year, so I hit it on the first 9 and my 3W on the second 9; you can see the difference. Hole 13 was my only bad hole of the day; hit drive right into trees, 2nd stayed in the trees, 3rd punched into green side bunker, 4th onto green, then 3 putted from 30' with 8' of break. In my defense, it is by far the toughest green on the course. I have a lesson today and we're gonna work on my driver, if that doesn't get it straightened out I'm going to roll with the 3w all day long.

SPY VIP Tony Covey MGS Posted July 25, 2011 Author SPY VIP Share Posted July 25, 2011 Haven't posted a card in a while. This one I call "almost" As for the downhill portion: 7 - In a hazard (wooded area) just off the green in 2. Hit a solid pitch, that landed on the wrong side of sloped green and rolled all they way down and off. 8 - Sliced off in to the woods, hit a provisional center of the fairway, but found the 1st. Probably should have taken an unplayable, took me 2 shots to get off of the woods into the heavy rough. Found a green side bunker that I took two more to get out of. 9- Dead center of the fairway, 55 yards from the pin. Shank, shank, shank (but on to the green) 2 putt. So close...should have been better. Played the same stretch yesterday - bogeyed 7 (#1 HC), birdied 8, 9 was almost an instant replay of last time (only 1 shank this time) MyGolfSpy is only major golf site that refuses advertising from large golf companies.

finalist Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Here's the best round I've ever played. This past weekend I played a 2 day tournament. The format was a 1 man, 2 day scramble. Shoot a score the first day and the second day and then take the best score from each hole and make a third card. This is the card from the first day. The first day I shot 69! Second day was totally different - I just wanted to clean up the two boogies and possibly make an extra birdie ended up with a 66 under this format. I ended up winning low gross. The best part was a Moe Norman style drive. 9th hole is a par five that has a creek running straight through the fairway at 280 yards. My drive rolled across the 5' wide bridge in the middle to cross the creek. I spy with my little eye something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBones Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Finally got around to adding in my tournament round from last weekend. Going to play a practice round tonight, on the more difficult of the two city courses. There were a lot of "golf shots" in this round, as well as a few forehead slappers (3 three putts and the 16th).

GolfSpy WD Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 With the tip I got from my GolfTEC swing analysis, I was finally able to drive the ball consistently 270 yards after messing up my drives on the first two holes. My putting and chipping were horribly off and I missed a few birdie putts that should have been gimmes. The course itself is pretty easy and not that well maintained, but they have kids tees, so I can go with my 7 year old son, which is great. @GolfSpy_WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy Tim Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Didn't realize this thread had been started, now it's my turn... (is it bad that I only started looking to post my score cards cause I had my personal best round today!?) Finally broke 90 for my first time: I actually started this round on the back 9, finishing on the front. I normally blow up on my first hole every round, so getting a bogey on 10 was actually a decent start for me. Two things different about this round - normally I take a TON of photos on my iphone while playing (I don't think this changed my scoring, cause the last round I played was almost as good, but I only got through 16 holes that day) the other difference was when I lost my first ball, I didn't go pounding through the brush looking for it, I just took the drop/penalty and kept playing - normally I get all flustered and spend 5 minutes charging through the bushes accomplishing nothing. I've been thinking about and trying to work on my putting more, and I think that made a difference in today's round, but I also was just striking the ball really really well, had some GREAT drives! (though I drove the green on hole 12 which is GREAT for me, but then managed to 3 putt for par. Blew up on hole 14 and hole 7, but beyond that, I kept my cool and had some decent holes. Lost two balls - amazingly enough, only one blow up hole included a lost ball. Can't wait to get out and play another 18 tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBones Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I haven't had a chance to put it into my computer, but I had to brag about this one. I shot even with only 21 putts, 5 two putts, 11 one putts, and 2 zero putts (from fringe). It was probably the best round I've ever played. I missed quite a few greens, but only 2 of those weren't on the fringe. I also only missed 2 fairways. On number 11 I hit a 375yd drive (downwind); it went past the group in front of us, as they were hitting their 3rd shots into the green. I'm so stoked, as it's probably the last round Im going to play this year. Follow @GolfspyBones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBones Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I had to dig this up after playing one of my best rounds ever. The scorecard says it was playing 7200yds, but it was closer to about 6900, with the tees moved up for winter. Other than the my putting (greens are shaggy and very grainy) and the double bogey (dumped my 2nd shot in the lake about 20yds short/left of the green), it was a very solid round. I don't remember hitting the ball better in my life. That "Always 80" swing thought that I have is really paying off. Follow @GolfspyBones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverRick Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I had a great ball striking day today. Wore the Smart Glove, and hit all the fairway, 15 GIR and lots of 2 putts. I would post my card but I read that I am not welcomed to do that on this thread. Beats yesterday, where I played the front 9 like I just found those clubs on the side of the road.
