Yikes was it hot!  Got to 95 during round, sweating so much had to go to rain gloves to keep good grip, plus keeping hydrated!

Four three putts killed the score.  Greens were very water logged and slow, even though we're in the middle of a drought here.

Decent round. Found myself playing "okay." Off the tee is still a little bit of a mess, but my short game saved me on many shots.

Nice to play back to back mornings. Hit 4/7 fairways and overall hit the ball well. Chipping and sand killed me today, as well as 18 putts 92 3 putt). Just a great morning

Short game was a saver!  One chip in, chip to  foot and a half for birdie, other chips/pitches close to save par.

Hadn't played the Bog is quite a few years, probably 20 or so.  Nice course with lots of rolling terrain and marshy land.  Hit pretty hard by the Wisconsin drought conditions but very playable and the greens were nice today.  Putted well, best I have all season and chipped above average (yay new Vokey wedge) to make up for some less than good full swings.

Oh man - I'm really close. Goal was to break 80 this year - today's 8-over round means (if it were at a par-72 course), I'd be at 80 on the number. So that's good. Going bogey-bogey-bogey on the last 3 holes hurts my pride a little

Highlights: hit a 60° from 35 yards that checked hard and lipped out - tapped in for par. Had a zero-putt par (tee shot over green, chip back from downhill lie ran to the fringe, putted in from 12' for par, lol). Had a natural birdie on a par-3 that landed about 25' past the hole and then spun back to 4'. 

Still too many (3, by my count) duffed shots inside 80 yards - just absolute momentum killers. Good news is in two of those instances I hit a great recovery and made the par putt. 

27 putts - including 8 1-putts. My short game has improved a lot (I think that's why the duffs hurt so much), and I'm giving myself a lot of close looks. 

Perfect weather, and I got paired up with a couple of ex-cops with some incredible stories, so all in all, a great day.

Played Lake Shastina Golf Resort Championship course today. This golf course is unique in a way that there is 5 Par 3's and 5 Par 5's. The course is in good shape and it is fun to play.

Finally! While the overall score is not that great, I finally had a great day with the L.A.B. Golf Directed Force DF2.1. I really didn’t have my best stuff tee to green. The 25 mph wind may not have helped that, but I had 25 putts, and those that missed were 2-6” from dropping. None of my first putts were inside 10’. 
 

Also, I had 3 bets going on. Net stroke play with 9 other guys, and game with them. Plus the guys in my foursome divided into teams, and we had a best ball match. While I didn’t play well enough to win money on the first 2 bets, the team bet was a lot of fun. So while I lost $20 on the first two bets, I made $2 on the team bet. It was a battle after a poor start by me on the first couple of holes on each side.

Played from the tips like my recently graduated 18 year old does.  Wow does that make this course long! However, I found I had some better lines into the green on several holes and actually played well.  Only needing 26 total putts probably helped.

I finished my 1st 18 at the same time my wife finished her ladies golf group outing and we went back around for a 2nd 18 since there was no one on the course.  I played this round from the blue tees (about 6300 yards vs. the 6800+ of the gold tees), but got tired near the end of the 2nd 18 and missed a few greens.

This was played during a best-ball match. Despite my run of 3 birdies on 8-10, we could not pull out the win. I guess that's what happens when you go up against the former club pro. The guy just did not miss putts all day.

Had lots of ups and downs and struggled with driver (as usual, yes). Way too many penalties on the front-nine and clocked in at 45.

According to tradition, I had a brilliant back-nine in comparison to the front-nine as I wasn’t thinking too much about my driver swing. All was fine until I started starting thinking about shooting even-par on this nine and ended up finishing +5 on the final two holes for 41.

Front-nine: 1/7 FH, 4/9 GIR, 16 putts, 5 penalty strokes.

Back-nine: 4/7 FH, 4/9 GIR, 15 putts, 2 penalty strokes.
