The Muni of Charleston

Gross: 88

Course Hdcp of 17

Net: 71 for a -1 for 18

Net Birdies: 7

Longest Drive: 276

Every facet of my game is slooowly coming together as of late. But frustrated for I came into the course hot and ran to the first tee … ended up having 4 three putts, with two of them costing me pars. Feel like it’s been forever to have a 50% GIR and hoping this round pushes my hdcp down to 15.

I have had those days... late to the course and trying to make it to the first tee before missing your reservation!!  I'm with you, it is usually the short game that gets me as well.  Good solid round though... a round or two in the net negative numbers will definitely bring down your hcap... what is your goal?

You can get revenge next time.  How is Paiute?  Never been there, but heard it was nice... out in the middle of nowhere!

Paiute is the best bang for your buck in Vegas. The greens are fast and smooth. They have their own water rights so they can really take care of the grass. Only downside is all the rocks if you hit an errant shot. I keep two “rock clubs” in my bag so I can play from the desert and not risk ruining my precious Stealth irons. If you’re ever around, it’s a great place to play.

Thanks!  It's on my list!  Don't get there as often as I used to; only played TPC Las Vegas (in July!) and Revere in Henderson.  Usually just passing through.

I visited Paiute many years ago... Incredible courses cut through the Nevada desert outside Henderson, NV.  Every time is see @PeterHenric post a score from there, I'm reminded of a great experience - even if it was in the middle of August when I visited!!

It’s hot as balls in August but the courses are usually wide open so you can get quick rounds in. Usually pretty windy in the afternoons though.

I know i said last week i wouldn't be able to play and did. Well this week i mean it. Weather is crap and the my planned round was cancelled. Sucks but the run had to end at some point! 

Have fun all and I'm jealous that many of you have far better weather. 

[Siamese Moose]

There is no way I get to play this week, probably not again this month. The reason is that I'm moving, but this is the view from the new deck.

[GolfSpy TCB]

It is probably good I don't live that close to my course.  My family would have my face on the side of a milk carton.  That is a GORGEOUS view you have there SM!

Had a great round yesterday! 

74 from the tips, 65 net for -6

Drives didn't get crazy but they were all pretty on target. My longest was 292 yds.

7 total birdies (2 natural, 5 net).

I almost birdied #3 but just couldn't get the putt to drop.

You are playing some really good golf the past few weeks @snicerz hope it continues for you!!!

I've really been focusing on the short game when I practice and it's starting to pay off.

Amazing how many strokes can be saved around the greens...

Today I introduced a new facet to my game, a driver with a Senior Shaft.  I put a 12* PXG 0811 XF with Evenroll Riptide CB senior shaft into play today.  The experiment was successful, but the rest of my game wasn't there today.  I shot a 44/45:89 less Course Handicap 13 = 76 versus Par 72 = +4 with only 3 Net birdies and a Long Drive of 211 yards.  On a different note, one of my net birdies garnered a skin paying $17.
