cksurfdude Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Oh, oops - forgot the rest of the story... (- any of you older guys remember Paul Harvey?) So went back to that same Par 3 the very next day to see if I could .. literally .. settle the score with those last 3 holes! Except this time around I started off poorly - even with 2 Pars where I made a nice up & down each time after a short tee shot - for the first 6 holes I was +8. Made a mess of that #6 hole this time with a triple... Then on #7 something switch "On" and I hit the green and made an "easy" 2-putt for par; #8 hit the green again .. albeit with a bit of a lucky bounce and roll towards the pin .. and stroked a solid 1-putt for a birdie; #9 hit a solid tee shot but slightly short-left and managed to sink the second putt for a nice par ... so -1 this time for those last three holes!

cksurfdude Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Played a regulation 9 yesterday in very gusty conditions and happy that .. for the most part! .. was able to keep the ball on track. Except for one awful mis-hit* would've (cudda-wudda-shudda) finished at an average of bogey golf / +9 ... so making progress this season! And that's with two doubles (on both of the Par 5s!!??!!) and a triple (ouch!), but also with two solid Pars on each of two holes that I usually screw up... First par was on a short Par 3 and second par was from an elevated tee into a fairway that doglegs right and leads onto a smallish and well-sloped uphill green with a deep bunker in front, a pond right and a marsh OB left and behind .. so a visually daunting approach which has too often gotten the better of me... But this time... Decent tee shot, if short, but left edge of the fairway; second shot right where I wanted well into the dogleg. Set up for the approach to try and punch it low into the wind and aiming for the back left corner of the green - and hoping(!) the wind would hold it up and push it back. Landed pin high left, about 10 ft out. Yes - I made the putt! Really happy that I was able to par that particular hole in challenging conditions. * Awful Mis-hit: I know exactly what I did, too, and this time it wasn't technique .. it was commitment / confidence. Wind was coming from straight behind and gusts were actually strong enough to knock over my wife's push cart! The green on this hole is large but exposed to the sun and wind so had a feeling it was firm and running fast .. and there's trouble behind the green on this hole .. so did not want to over-do it. I was trying to choose between 9i and PW and decided (or: thought I'd decided...) on a 3/4 swing 9i so it wouldn't go too high / get pushed too far by the wind. Well, I was hesitant and fluffed the shot out to the right .. lost ball .. had to drop and hit again... (and barely kept it on the green .. it rolled all the way to the back edge...)

GeekingGolf Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 My swing has gone into the crapper now I cant hit any greens I either pull or push every shot I have tried to fix at the range but it's all screwed up golf is frustrating at the moment.

Big money Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 A little chilly today. But got a wild 9 holes in. Started with 3 birdies in a row. Than the last 6 holes I was 16 over par for a 49. Not sure if I was nervous. Or I just stink that bad . Combination of both I assume. Was just fun starting the way I did. The guys were looking at me like “ who is this guy” . Well “ the guy “ came back to earth on the 4 Th hole -9th hole. Not sure how I should feel. Great for such a miraculous start.

chisag Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 ... The Mrs is in town for a few days and she was just killing it off the tee. 210-230 with my old Fly Z cranked to 12* and a Tensei Blue L Flex shaft. Just a joy to watch. She hasn't played in 7 months so much of the rest of her game was very rusty but off the tee she was soooooo good. ... And saw one of the best shots I have ever witnessed on a muni. Playing Aguila's 6th hole, 347 from the Silver tees and I hit a 2 iron 261 leaving me 86 to the pin. Had a good 15mph wind at my back so I knocked down a 52* to about 10 feet*. Feeling pretty good about my 261 yd drive and my birdie putt, a ball rolls past my feet catches the tier and rolls back down to about 6" from the hole. We look around and see nobody until the guys behind us that were playing the tips at 377 are heading down the cart path ... and that was one of their drives!?!? They were looking in the desert 50 yds short of the hole and my wife yells at them "Your ball is on the green!" Guy drives up and apologizes and my wife says "Apologize? That's the best shot I have ever seen so nothing to apologize for" then walks over and high fives him. Am I a lucky guy or what? * No I didn't make the birdie putt.

fozcycle Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Today was very interesting, we had 22mph sustaining winds with gusts of 40mph. So, with that in mind, I shot a 43/45:85 today with almost no help from my Putter. The Par 5 #13 was reachable in two, and I was just 5 yards off the green but chunked a chip but scrambled for the par. The Par 4 #16 was reached in two, which I hardly ever do, only to 4 putt. Argh!

I've actually had some mild success when playing in the wind, especially on par-3's for some odd reason. Had one shot from an elevated tee that normally plays about 150-yds or so that was direct into about a 25-mph sustained breeze that made it more of a 200-yd hole. I pulled 3w and cranked one that nearly went in! Another time, again direct into the teeth of the wind on another par-3, I hit a 7-iron where I would normally pull a 9 or PW that went right up with a nice little cut and wound up about 10'.

Just one of those rounds where my approaches or drives were off just slightly. But slightly enough to put me in spots that made a great recovery very difficult. On top of that, the pins were placed up on knobs. The greens crew is off today and tomorrow. So they placed the pins in spots where excess traffic wouldn’t harm the ‘main’ green area that much.

StrokerAce Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 You ever have one of those days.... ...that's starts out good on the first couple holes with 2 birdie chances: And then you get to the green and it looks like this: You can't see it but there are earthworms all over the place also... I assume those little brown dots are from the worms pushing up the earth...and it looks like they aerated a couple days ago. It was nearly impossible to putt.... We had about 1-2 inches of rain in a 30 hour period and it meant a lot of this on the fairway: Hard to see but the ball is 3/4 buried - in the middle of the fairway. It was like standing on a wet sponge and trying to hit the ball... I was actually happy to get in the rough on some holes. Somehow managed an 83 but the course did not help me one little bit.... not one. but hey - I was playing golf!

chisag Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 ... My Phoenix winter vacation is sadly coming to an end. It has been a blast! Played Whirlwind Cattail today and really enjoyed the course. With winds 10-15mph but gusty not constant, I was playing the silver tees at 6300 and the two MD's I joined up with were playing the gold tees at 6725. I was 2 under on the front with 2 birdies and the rest pars, but made the turn and bogied 10/11 to get back to even. On 17, a 490yd par 5 with a little helping wind, I had 205 to the green. Both playing partners had no chance from 515 as my drive was a good 60yds past them. I hit my 4 iron into the lip of the bunker and barely got out and settled for par. They asked me why would I play the wrong tees when I was outdriving them both by 20-30 yds all day and a few even longer. I smiled and said "This is the first time I have played this course, I am 66 yrs old and have either of you considered that maybe you guys are playing the wrong tees?" I hit a 2 iron off the 18th tee so I was about 10 yds behind their drives and stuck a 6 iron to about 8 feet from 178yds and uphill. So much for a tee advantage. Rolled in the birdie putt to finish with a 71. After grinding out some mid 70 scores my last few rounds it was nice to be in sync and have a day where everything came easy. 9 more days in Paradise!

pulledabill Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 45/40 on a nice Willamette Valley Easter Sunday. 69% fairways, 30% GIR, 35 putts, a 3 putt, and a 3 doubles. Short game and putting generally steady, but currently a real struggle. chisag, StrokerAce, cksurfdude and 1 other 4 Quote DRIVER: Cobra F9 10.5 Tensei AV Blue 65g 3W- Callway XR PRO 16 stiff 5W- Alpha- Mitsubishi Diamana Redboard w/band Irons- Mizuno JPX 919 Tours with S KBS Tour shafts Hyrbid- TM 4h mid-rescue Vokey- Vokey SM5 51 degrees, SM7 Wedges 54 and 58 1/2 half 3 degrees upright Putter- Taylor Made Rossa Monza Mini Spider Ball-ProV1 and AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny B Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Happy Easter everyone!! It is also our 12th anniversary, so my wife and I headed to the course. My BIL said we wouldn't last 6 months!! lol For those that haven't heard the story... my wife and I were married on the 1st tee of our course, said our vows, turned around and teed off. Golf for everyone all day. Today we played with a couple that played with us 12 years ago. I made the turn at +1 with a birdie and 2 bogeys. Then I birdied #10. That's when I said "I could shoot my age, theoretically." hahahaha The golf gods got me. For some reason I couldn't hit the ball like I did on the front nine. Shot +7 on the back nine for a smooth 80. I did hit 12/13 fairways, but only 4 greens. Scrambling saved me on the front nine; didn't save me on the back nine. I missed an ace on the 144 yard #4, hitting my 9i 143.9 yards. It was a nice birdie, but my wife and the other woman in our group also birdied. Life is good!

DiscipleofPenick Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I forgot to post, or maybe I want to forget what happened on Saturday. In a word, it was terrible.With how much rain we're getting its not golf yet. My home course was closed. Forget about it and keep hopes up for good weather. Today is upper 60s, I'm heading out for 18 after work.

I grew up in Creswell but also lived around the Eugene/Springfield area and have a lot of friends there. Glad to hear the water has subsided and the courses are open for business...I heard there was quite a bit of flooding.
