Wow! Congratulations on a big come from behind win!  That’s huge! 

So how many beers fit in that cup!    That looks great!

I am pretty sure the one in my right arm holds copius amounts, the left, not so much...

What was #1 highlight from your winning round?   It sounds like it was a special final round.

played in the A/B/C/D tournament at my course where I'm a social member and they didn't do me any favors but I suppose as a 'social' I'm kind of a 3rd world citizen there...

I played with 2 super seniors who - playing from the gold - couldn't hit it more than 175 yards but usually you can count on them for chipping and putting... but not in this case. I'm not sure what qualifies as a "C" or "D" player but I'm guessing that their HC were in the 25 range.

I was cold, much colder than expected, and the wind seemed to be in our face on a number of holes. We finished middle of the pack (-12) and the winners were -20 (of course)...

There were 4 CTP... 2 on par 3s and 2 on your second shot on par 4s <ed: what??? why???>

Anyway - I stuck it super tight on a 198 yard par 3. You hit across the road (tee box left of the trees)... kinda glad I didn't make it, there were about 100 people in the tournament and that would have been a fortune in the clubhouse, lol.

Didn't know how close it came until we got up there because I couldn't see it due to the slope of the green... and just my luck, this was NOT one of the CTP holes.

what a great question, thanks for asking, makes me go through my round again... On number 4 I pushed my drive, it was still in the fairway but the flag was on the right side of the green and I had an overhanging tree. 120 yds to the hole, we decided to go with a 9 iron punch but I went back to the bag and grabbed an 8 to make sure I didn't go too high to catch the tree, punched it, landed about 25 yds short of the green and rolled to a foot. I had just birdied 3 so birdied 4 then ended up birdieing 5 as well... nice little run

I got the chance to play a couple of different courses out in Palm Springs over the weekend (Eagle Falls and Indian Canyons South - I highly recommend both!).

I had a very close miss for what would have been my first hole in one on the 165yd 15th hole. The pin was in a little hollow just over the saddle of the green, and I remarked to my playing partner that it would be just my luck to get my first ever HIO on a hole where you couldn't see the ball go into the cup. Stepped up, and absolutely nailed a 6 iron right at the stick. It was great hole design in that there's a banked bunker between the cart path and the putting surface, so as you drive up you can't see where your ball ended up until the last possible second.

Sadly this time it was close, but no cigar, but it's always nice to have a tap in birdie.

Played Saturday and it was blah.. drove the ball well but I struggled with the approached and speed of the greens, they were sneaky fast, hard to judge speed or wedges, some check some release.. it was frustrating. Oh well stupid golf.  At least it wasn't raining, tired of rain.

Maybe this weekend it will come be better.

Played my usual 9 holes last week on Friday. The course was dryer than expected after the flooding experienced on Wednesday night into Thursday morning, but the wind was a different story. Seems as though only a couple of times out this year the wind hasn’t been a major factor.
A couple of loose shots on par 5s resulted in bogeys and not getting putts to the hole, otherwise a good round.

Got to sneak in 9 holes at Diamond Ridge on Saturday: figured Sunday was an absolute no go with Mother's Day, and I was right! I was presented my honey do list prior to my Saturday round, so definitely wanted to get in a round. So I went in with the dawn patrol at Diamond Ridge, and it was, unlike the rest of the week, a very nice, albeit humid morning. 

Played the back 9, which starts with a water hole. 

It's one of those holes where I want to tee off with a "found" ball as I have a propensity to find the pond about 25% of the time. Not Saturday morning! Plopped it right up on the green, but alas, 3 putted the thing. Still getting used to the DF3, this was my first "official" round with it. Overall, VERY happy with the round as it was a new PB for me, so no complaints overall! Save a few errant iron shots I can't complain: things seem to be slowly, but surely, coming together.

Was able to get to the putting green afterwards to work with the Black Mamba: it is a different feel from the TM Spider for sure. Will the DF3 replace the Spider in the bag? That remains to be seen, but from that first round with it, it feels "right." I understand now the "thumbless" approach with L.A.B.: light pressure and let the club do the work! As I compile more numbers with the DF3 I will share them in the L.A.B. DF3 thread. 

I hope that golf figures into your plans for today! Hit 'em straight MGS Nation! 🏌

Played all 3 original courses at Sand Valley, 53 Holes, on Friday. Shot 82 on Sand Valley, then 6 over on the 17 hole short course, then shot 80 on Mammoth Dunes. The best part of the whole day was on our way back to the lodge after dinner in the clubhouse, the Northern Lights were in full effect.

Congrats @Vegan_Golfer_PNW on the PB!

 

I played today and had one of those round that nothing exciting happened but nothing bad happened either.  I was hitting the ball well and gave myself plenty of chances for scoring but the putting was just off enough to keep me level.

11/14 FW - 14/18 GIR and 32 Putts
