Pretty quiet in the Week 8 Thread 🙂   Everyone is gearing up for the late week rounds I'm sure...

I was able to get out for 9 holes last night... amazing what a few days away from hitting shots into and around greens does for your timing..  Was able to piece together a +3 / 39 - but it wasn't pretty.  Hoping to find the time to sneak another 9 in before the weekend, and the start of Turkey Shoot Week!!!

I might be able to piece together two 9 holes rounds (same course) here this week. Hoping for the loss gross score since I don't think I have ever been net -6 or -7 under like the last few winners have been.

Amazing how cold a breezy 55 feels after being in the mid 80's just a week and a half ago!!  😆

Poor driving combined with even worse iron play, and there you have it. Cool course; definitely will give it another spin.

I know everyone is dealing with a turn in the weather in one way or another (Shout Out to Buffalo, NY and the surrounding areas... you guys are getting HAMMERED!!  Stay SAFE up there!!).

Hoping to see a few more rounds posted in the Weekly Event this weekend... especially since rounds posted here can also be used as part of the

Virtual Turkey Shoot

Just reach out to other members to build a team before you play and build a team for the 2 Person Best Ball.

It’s beautiful. It was a sunny day, about 50 when we teed off; not too much wind. Definitely has a bit of an Augusta vibe. Not too far away, of course.

Was having a hard time finding a course that had an opening on a Friday that worked for my schedule. My buddies and I decided to try this place called the Club at Sunrise. It is a course that literally every single hole runs along a drainage easement and every single hole has said easement on the right hand side of the very narrow fairways. If you are a guy like me who plays a fade that sometimes gets a little slicey, this is a recipe for disaster. The drainage easement is a good 15 yards lower in elevation and the rough is disgustingly long Bermuda grass. Even if you didn’t actually go all the way down into the water, the ball is most likely lost in the rough. I lost 8 balls. 8!71498CCB-B547-4752-B798-7C79870FA4A5.jpeg.195dec705336831e741d2e46caa4e71e.jpeg

Around the south east it's been raining so much. There have been floods all over the place. In Melbourne we've had a couple of days of sunshine, but it's definitely been one of the rainiest and gloomiest springs I can remember.

On a blustery day, I had the tale of two nines.  I started with a par (net birdie) and proceeded to double bogie four of the last five holes.  On the back I pared ten (net birdie) and proceeded to shot three over (38).

I must have slept wrong on my left shoulder last night as it took me the front nine just to loosen up.  For the first time since tracking fairways in regulation on my Shot Scope H4 (and for years tracking FIR on the GHIN app), I hit 100% (14 of 14) fairways.  I got up and down almost 60% of the time and had only 26 putts.  

The day started with such promise, then was filled with disappointment and ended with optimism.  If I can only put to backs together!

Played in bitter cold yesterday; sunny but cold!!  High 31º; low 16º  🥶  Course didn't open until 12:30pm after a frost delay, and they did a shotgun start so everyone could finish before dark... which we did having to wait on the group in front of us most of the way.  

We started on the par 4 #11.  First real round on greens where a ball that landed on the front of a green ran to the back... or off!!  🙃  I didn't have a par on any of my 4 stroke holes, so I had to make the 3 birdies on my own!  My fingers were so cold, they actually hurt!!

My driver was so-so, but I hit some crisp iron shots.  I felt pretty good shooting an 81 with only one double... that came on a 3-putt; I had two other 3-putts.  Worst round for 3-putts on my course this year; which cost me another round in the 70's. The greens were frozen underneath the surface; ball marks were evident, but couldn't be repaired.  

I think it's supposed to warm up a little mid-week, so this next week should be better.

Best wishes to everyone still playing in the Northern Hemisphere.  Record snowfalls this week in my neck of the woods and spent all weekend digging out from the 50" (127cm).  Didn't even have opportunity to putt the carpets where I would not need an orange ball ⛳

Who's going to take over the leader board?!

It's going to be so easy with only the Southern Hemisphere in play.  BBS, I got you matched this week. 

Days are in the high 40°'s these days, but nights are freezing.  In the shade it's pretty firm even in the afternoons.  The water 3 on this course had half the pond frozen enough that the ducks were able to walk across half of it, and we counted three balls abandoned on the ice.

Net Birdies came in strong as I hit my handicap exactly, even in this frigid weather.  Ground was hard and rolled long, but greens were equally frozen and played as they were pro level, 11 and 12 speed for sure.  Nothing stuck, high loft with good spin pitches would roll out 10-15 yards.

I found that in these conditions I needed to play at least a club maybe two under to get even close to my target.  However, some patches had thawed enough to be "normal", and others were playing as hardpan, so it was totally unpredictable.  Given that, I think an even par was pretty sweet!

Check the date, the date on the field for my submission initially said 11/21/2022 and I had to change it.  Maybe the system is set for UTC or something. 

You also need gross score and course handicap.
