One Eagle, one birdie, two bogies and one double bogey. The double was adapting to a swing change on my irons on the first hole.

Have been working through a fitting process so haven’t played much recently. Was going to play last Sunday but cancelled and did a 2 hr practice.  My current/old irons were feeling foreign so the practice was much needed. 

I had a pretty decent round but got tripped up on 3 holes, all 3 times dealing with wet bunkers.  It was CPO and by the 13th hole we were really feeling fatigued.  7 pars, my goal is 10.  12/14 FIRs but only 6 GIRs.  34 putts and score of 42/44.

First round after a two year healing break and it was cart path only.  Two holes with decent drives. Two irons shots to the front of the green,two chips and two one putts = 2 pars. Everything else about the round shall be erased from memory

Double triple EAGLE single double to start the front 9 and could not get a par to drop after the 2 hits on the 3rd par-4.  Hit driver from the seniors tee 189 and then 5-iron from 143 that bounded up to the green and rolled towards the pin as I have seen many times before but this time it disappeared which I am used to seeing end up over the back.  But the others said they thought they saw it drop so I kept from jumping to conclusions, finished measuring the shot and then changed the phone display to camera handing it to my regular partner before seeing my OnCore Avant with my purple mark in the bottom of the cup.  Didn't drop my handicap down much because there was plenty of "normal" golf going on for the other 17 holes.

Got my 2nd round in here over a 2 evening excursion.

I played the front 9 on Monday, and then completed the back 9 this evening after work.

Best thing is the course had leagues on the opposite 9's I played each evening, so no delays and pretty much about 2 hours per 9.

Had a 41 on the front on Monday, which was a couple strokes better than the first time I played this course, but without any hold-ups in front of me, I was able to use "normal" clubs and not lay back worrying about hitting into any slower players.

Finished up with a 39 on the back this evening, again, no delays, and I played "safe and smart" golf, keeping it in the short grass both evenings.

For this complete round hit a total of 13 of 14 fairways, and 9 of 18 GIR.

Had 34 putts, but again the greens were on the slower side, and it appeared that most of the holes around the cups were raised or coned.

Don't know why this would occur, but it seems to be a common trait here for most courses either later in the day or on the weekends.

Have tee times made for both this upcoming Sunday and Monday afternoon, not at this course, but at a Metropark course I typically play regularly here.

Hit the ball great but the hills and the bunkers and the very slow greens got me.  It was an absolutely gorgeous day.  Course was in good shape.  This course should be re-evaluated because the slope and rating (for the white tees at least) seem too low.

Two nines spliced together from the past few weeks. Putted well for the second nine, drove well the first nine. Everything else was about average for myself. Beat my playing partner by a combined 15 or 16, which was better than normal.

I was rained out Monday night after 9 holes and I didn’t dry off my clubs when I got home. When I played Tuesday night I found one of my wedges started to rust. 

Rust shouldn't affect the performance of the clubface, or so YouTube tells me.  I kinda like the look of a well used rusted wedge.  You get a nice wear pattern on the bottom edge and up to where the ball and grass wear off the rust.  A fine patina.

No black jackets this week! Good ball striking as I hit 14 greens in regulation or better. Sometimes I just can’t putt. Six three putts on the front nine to shot six over. That just sucks! Finally got it going on the back and shot even. However, still missed four putts inside seven feet on the lip! The round that could have, should have, but wasn’t!

Played in our Wednesday Men's Low net tournament and shot a 79. The could have been better except a lost ball on #9 hole. I still double bogey the hole to shoot a 40 on the front. I am happy with the round and looking forward to play again on Friday at Cimarron.

I made a subtle change in my downswing move today and ball striking was great. 12/14 Fwys 9/18 GIR. Putter wasn’t “hot” but not bad with 31 putts. It was windy as heck and hit 3 balls into the hazards, resulting in 2 doubles and a bogey. 
 

The most important thing is I figured out my alignment issue I developed Sunday.

I haven't gotten out to that one yet. Maybe this summer when I'm out of school.
