You had a great week!

It was the golf I used to be able to do before getting so involved in volunteering to mentor Veterans in the HOPE program as much as I did this year.  Last year it was every weekday afternoon for 9 holes and in the long evening summer months 18 holes, 128 rounds in 2022.  From all accounts you had an awesome round this week too!

Got my 18 in this morning without much rain bothering us, but like our buddy @cnosil in NC, I forgot my golf shoes so I had a few slips here and there. 

overall was +6 on the day for net +1, was generally happy with my game after warming up and putted really well!

Well, we tried @GolfSpy_APH. Got it going there for a bit, but then lost rythym when some jerks didn't want to let me through or play along over the last three holes. Shot of the day was on 15, 103 yard wedge to a foot for the tap in birdie.

@CB Lobo 4 Life @Jnoble89 @Berg Ryman just a reminder when you do have your weekly scores to drop them and hopefully we have good news for getting into the final week!

Getting my round in at 8am tomorrow! Possible rain so could be interesting but just going to focus on ball striking and smart shots.

83 is apparently my number these days.  The difference today was that I didn't play particularly well -- felt off all day but made good enough decisions that it mostly didn't matter how inaccurate I was (Aimed according to my inaccuracy and for the center of the green).  Kind of interesting to see the results.

Today was a really good ball-striking day. I certainly had some bad holes. Like, Getting a bogey on the front nine five because I topped my three wood barely past the women's tees...But there were a lot of recovery holes! I want to say thank you to @Javs and @RickyBobby_PR. Both directed me so much in helping me find my new swing! I had prior to this day been hitting it so badly off the toe and today I was flushing most shots and I was having the best day. 

Notables: 

Almost chipped in for an eagle on hole 9 on the front! I can't actually remember the last time I chipped in so It was exciting for me haha. 

Hole 2 on the back nine I sunk a 40-foot putt for birdie! I hit my approach shot long so I had a 40-foot right-to-left breaking putt that I thought I hit a little too hard but it hit the pin and went in!

Srixon Diamond is still my favorite ball I have played this season. I truly attribute it to my longer drives, better approach shots, around the green spin, and I just generally love the feel. 

Sorry, this is long-winded and also that it is a little late, but glad to get a score in and had a wonderful time! GO DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN!

Spent this entire round hitting driver where I don’t usually to work out some kinks, then finally got ahold of one on a long par 4 with the wind behind me! What a great feeling!!

A little let down from last week, but if 80 ever becomes my bad score I’ll take it…. Taking a couple weeks off to now go watch golf.

Okay, my longest drive was 246 that ended up behind a tree and I had to punch out. I listed the 229 because it was on a down wind 157 yard par 3. I decided to launch a 9 iron. I smoked it! I stood there dumbfounded watching it seemingly still rising in the air as it passed the green. I looked down at the club and it was a 6 iron. Still, a smoked 6 iron should go 180 at best. I was 87 yards back to the flag and GolfShot said it went 229. 

My back was acting up and I missed Friday, for the most part I had a terrible long game on Saturday and Sunday. Last 3 rounds were 81, 81, 80 and have been terrible off the tee. Short game has been great. 
 

I hit poor wedges on 5, 6, 7, & 8 that dropped my short game score but 24 putts yesterday and 25 putts today made up for a lot of errant shots. I made some improvements in my driving today but still need a lot of work.

Gsme showed some progress this week.  This front 9 could have been really special if not for a bad bounce double on No.2.  The double on 8 is not horrible.  One of the toughest par 5’s around.  
 

Enjoyed a peaceful round with our Assistant Suoer.  Couese looled great.

Solide round. 11/18 GIR and solid driving performance! However, I couldn’t putt to save my life, greens were fassst.

4-putted the 2nd hole, missed 2 putts under 3’, my 12’ eaglw putt burned the edge of the cup and 3-putted twice on the back nine for a total of 38 putts.

Had a clean round (no penalty) until not finding my 2nd shot in the left rough on the 18th hole par 5… Not in the woods, not in the trees, simple rough… This penalty stroke was though to swallow to say the least.
