Visiting my family this week.  I was able to sneak out and take advantage of a beautiful day in the Yakima Valley.  Wasn't expecting to be able to play this trip, but glad I was able to run out than play today.  I am a little rusty with my short game, but was striking the ball really well.  A couple of natural birdies on the back nine.  38-38=76.

Something appears to be posted incorrectly here Alan.  Can you double check your course handicap?  Maybe a 6 or a 7 .. not a 67?

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. 

Hey RoverRick.  Just double checking this post... did you mean to enter your Gross Strokes over par at 8 instead of 0 ( based on the Gross Score of 80)

A rough day off the tee. Had three balls go OB so it was hard to score. Hope to be better next week.

not sure were to find that as I believe that's the course rating! I do know the slop is 117.

No problem.  Do you have a handicap index?  You would use your handicap index and the course slope and rating to calculate your course handicap.  See the VCT FAQ... it explains the process at the bottom:  

Or, feel free to send me that info and I can help you calculate it.

Crazy, crazy good ball-striking day. No 3-putts. 2nd lowest round ever. 

Was a VERY nice day to play hooky.

Nice round GSS!!  You will be tough to beat in the Staff Comp, but I'm not giving up!!

Good day at the range does not translate to the course.  Consistently long on less-than-full wedges, constantly under-reading putts, good out of the bunker.  Still, sunny warm day on a golf course is hard to complain about.

Roller coaster round on a tough course. Started the round with two consecutives drives OB for a quick 8 on the par 4 1st hole. It was my first round after a significant swing change to soften up my cuts and spinny fades. Had my longest drive ever at 342 yds IN THE FAIRWAY.

Weather was beautiful and the course was in good shape. Four 3 putts didn't help the score. Greens were slower than expected. But had a great time with friends.

For those of you that go to Michigan for golf, Arcadia Bluffs is amazing. The views of the course along Lake Michigan are stunning. The course....is a beast!! Punishes you in every area. It was about 64 degrees and extremely windy. Greens are fast and the heather and bunkers come into play on every shot. 3 putts are common on this track as they are fast and extremely contoured.

Absolutely stunning course. Stone canyon is an awesome course, and my favorite since moving to kansas city. Decided not to walk this round as the loop would've been just under nine miles! Greens and fairways were in excellent shape and pins were in a very challenging spots. Most of the par 5s are very gettable but a variety of hazards around the course make not making a fairway punishing. Hole 3 not shown is the feature hole. Overall fun round and I'm sure I'll improve my next round here.

Lost four balls today.  Three off the tee and one terrible shot from a fairway bunker.  79 felt like the best possible outcome.

On the plus side I won a match 5 and 3 to move on to the 3rd round of our member tourney.
