Hey all thank you for participating so far! I think this is going to be a lot of fun moving forward and create some good competitive banter moving forward!

Tuesday is my next round. I am only able to get one a week in right now so have to make it count!

I’m a once a week golfer as well and based on spaghetti models the remnants of Ian are expected to hang  around near Virginia for the next few days so I expect rain until about Tuesday; no golf until next Sunday

You can do it!!! (and take pictures) 

Wonder if the clubs would be heavy enough or if the 20-30 MPH winds would move the cart?   
not gonna do it, I am a fair weather golfer.  

[tony@CIC]

I'm been watching TV News and scenes from Ft Myers. OMG it's horrible. 

[GolfSpy_APH]

Tim has made some great graphics for the banners! Super pumped to have these and I know once they are handed out and released to all the competition will get even more fierce! 

[GolfSpy_APH]

In a surprise turn of events I get to play another round tomorrow. However it will be on a course I have never played so not expecting anything crazy. Looks awesome though! https://www.golfplatz.ch/golfplatz.html

Not my best effort today. Shot an 89 Gross (+15). Ran late to the course, started to string some pars together and then fell apart holes 11-15. I'll have to look, but probably the worst Par 5 scoring average of the year as well.

Longest drive was 284 on #18 - my best drive of the day for sure.

Though we lost the matchplay (three and two), I played shockingly competently given the never-before-played course. 

Course: Tierra Rejada (Moorpark, CA), Tourney (blue) tees: 69.3/124

Handicap 12

Course handicap 11

Gross: 85

Net: 74

Net Birdies: 6

Long drive: 295

Awesome day, including a natural birdie (which involved a 30-ft right-to-left downhill putt to (at the time), get us within one of our opponents), and two JUST-miss chip-ins. 

Also, it turns out I LOVE match-play. Go figure.

Where are you playing this weekend? 

Glendoveer East course I think.  Much easier than Heron Lakes, especially Blue, but very hilly and lots of trees.  It's my home course though.  It's a double course also with an East and a West.  About 138th and Glisan in SE.  

[GolfSpy TCB]

I used to be a member at Glendoveer   I always preferred the East course.  A few more trees in play at Glendoveer than at Heron Blue haha.

Very cool addition to the forum! I played Indian Wells Celebrity Course today; course handicap from yellow tees (70.7/128) was 7; 77 gross, 70 net (-2). Awesome day. 
 

edit: 3 gross birdies but only 4 net. 311 longest drive, desert rolls are nice haha

Nice Round DoP!  I want to hear more about that sandy birdie!!  

So your birdie count.. is that natural, or net birdies count?

[JFish350]

Oh the round that could have been. It was an awesome day to be on the course here the PNW. Windy15-20 is my guess but still a fun day. Played with some friends I haven't golfed with in a year or two. The wheels were going flat starting on 14. I had 2 holes where I hit my drive in the fairway and we couldn't find ball, so weird and think that got in my head and it lingered as it cost me strokes. 18 was just a disaster.  All in all I had a great day.

The Reserve Vineyards South Course

Tan tees- 69.7/128/Par 72

Score 86  - Net Score 69

9 pars

1 Bird

Glad you were able to get out and play at least once.  What course were you at.  Were those 4 birdies natural?  what was your net birdie count?

Unless I'm reading it incorrectly... looks like you had 10 net birdies or better?  Nice!!

I was lucky enough to get a few rounds in over the weekend.  My play was pretty solid.. until today when all the wheels came off my game.  Since it was the Member/Guest at my club, I did a mini tour of courses in the area before going back "home" today... Maybe I should have stayed away!  haha.
