CCRyder Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Getting out about 1-2 each weekend for 9 holes a piece. Winter Goll is an adventure ! Stoked about my putting starting to come down under 18 puts per 9. Overall scores are still struggling but that as been from 2nd and 3rd shots lately. The new Triton Driver has been helping hit those fairways thus far.

Popular Post chisag Posted January 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2021 ... What a fun, exasperating, good and bad round today. In other words ... golf. Battling a stomach flu the last few days I was a little weak but of course I walked anyway. I got paired up with 3 Korean players in their late 70's and they invited me to play from their tees, so I obliged. Normally I play from 6400 with some long par 4's and 2 drivable par 4's at 277/294, a 150 and a devious 115 yd par 3, it plays much longer than 6400. But at 5952 it plays short, very short because I can land on downslopes shooting the ball forward even farther. I was out driving my pards by 150 - 200yds every hole and they thought I was Dustin Johnson LOL. One of them never hit a ball above 3 feet the entire round and none of them came close to breaking 100. ... Fun because even though they spoke broken English, they love golf and were a joy to spend 4.5 hours playing along side. Exasperating because I had 3 eagle putts and made none of them from 15/10/8 feet. I also had wedge or 9/8 iron almost every hole and just could not hit anything really close. I ended up at -2 and really should have been much lower on such a short course. 5 birdies and 3 bogies. I drove both 277/294 par 4's and only birdied one of them. Both are measured by their dogleg and not as the TP5 Pix flies, so they are more like 240 and 260 but over water that is about 15 yds short of both greens. I hit 2 wedges into bunkers with a par on one and bogie on the other. Just no excuse for hitting into a bunker with a pw in my hands. By the end of the round I was really tired and pulled my tee shot on 18 into the 9th fairway. There is a bunker on the left I can't fly over from my tees but 20 yds in front from the Gold Tees AND a downslope 20 yds in front of that bunker so I over swung and pulled my tee shot leaving me a 6 iron into the green. Blind shot so I landed in the middle of the green with a front pin and like I seemed to do all day I lipped out my 5th putt that caught a piece of the hole. It was like the Golf Gods were punishing me for playing forward tees. ... All in all I have no complaints as I felt much better, shared the day with some great guys that love the game and put myself in position to score all day. With so many stuck in winter conditions I am well aware how lucky I am to even be playing so I am not gonna complain about playing with temps in low 70's on a course too short for my skill level and not taking advantage of it.

It's all about getting out and playing for me. My ex-wife suffered from mal-content - never being satisfied. It is a horrible way to live. Golf is about attitude as much as score. Some people would give up a child to shoot those scores. My scores have been OK, but how I get them isn't OK. I know I can play better than I have been, but wasted shots kill me. It's not that I hit an errant shot; I just can't hit the ball. I can't tell you how many times I have hit the ball in the fairway 150 yards from the green and then completely miss the ball with my next shot. Fortunately, I get the ball within 30-40 yards of the green then make a par putt or at worst a bogey and not double. Yesterday I hit a poor tee shot on a par 5, topped my ball into a fairway bunker, hit a good shot out of the bunker to 145y out, chunked my 4th shot to 115y out, hit a decent 5th shot to a couple of feet in front of the green to a front pin location, chipped in for a bogey save. At worst I should have been on the green or just short of the green in three shots where I can easily make a par. It's been like this for a couple of weeks. I normally don't go out to play golf just for fun and have a good time. I go out to play golf better than I did the last time I played golf. I find it very difficult to enjoy being out there when I'm not hitting the shots I know I can hit. On the positive side I have managed to recover enough to not make many doubles. I have to figure out my issue before my short game goes on vacation. Sorry for my rant... just frustrated.

fixyurdivot Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 So yesterday, because two of the courses I usually play had events, I went to Cocopah Rio Colorado for the first time. It's not a long course but not super short either - at least from the blue tee. They also have some very interesting tree locations and it must have been designed by a lefty that was fed up playing fade biased layouts . On the 176 yard #7 par 3 I hit two balls (5i) that ended up on the green and within two feet of each other. Feeling it, I teed up a 3rd ball (the course was empty - as in no one) and pulled it left into a waste bunker. I chipped that ball in for a birdie and two putted the others that were within 10 feet. Currently experiencing a "confidence zero" with the flat stick.

They also have some very interesting tree locations and it must have been designed by a lefty that was fed up playing fade biased layouts . On the 176 yard #7 par 3 I hit two balls (5i) that ended up on the green and within two feet of each other. Feeling it, I teed up a 3rd ball (the course was empty - as in no one) and pulled it left into a waste bunker. I chipped that ball in for a birdie and two putted the others that were within 10 feet. Currently experiencing a "confidence zero" with the flat stick. does that mean a new flat stick that behaves better will soon find it's way into the bag? In all seriousness though, I think we all go through it. Sorry to hear it brother. Kenny B, fixyurdivot, fozcycle and 1 other 4 Quote BNewt51 Golf Addict.... Father of 4.

Popular Post sirchunksalot Posted January 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2021 I played nine holes today, shooting 50 hitting one fairway, two greens, and 20 putts (3 3 putts, ugh). I'm not going to complain, I could have been at work today, but decided to use up 8 hours of PTO I had left over from last year. You know what they say, a bad day of golf is better than a good day of work. Driver wasn't working too good for me, I really need to get back on SuperSpeed as my distance off the tee has been terrible lately. My first hole I duck hooked one 63 yards and ended up with an 8 on a par 4. Irons and fairway woods were decent, but I fell back into a habit of hanging back on my trail foot on the 5th hole. I'm going to have to work on this, weight shift is a problem of mine if I get sloppy. Chipping was the best it's been in a long time. Nearly chipped in on the par 3 2nd, it lipped out and rolled six feet from the cup where I two putted as the group letting me play through watched on. On the 9th, I hit a sloppy drive leaving me a 5 wood into the green that just went straight left of the green leaving a 30 yard chip I put within 12 feet that I sank for par. I did have two pars, the other coming in the par 5 6th. Hit driver, 3 wood, PW from 92 yards, and two putting. The practice I've been putting in with my chipping in the Spornia is starting to pay off and really saved me today. fixyurdivot, edingc, Buffly and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After several range sessions, my driver stopped acting up and my drives were fairly straight - well, except for that one drive that I sliced into the water. Ended up with an 88, primarily because I left about a half doz putts a roll away from the hole. One of these days I'll get to use to Bermuda grass. However, I was able to kick putt this in for a bird on a par 4 - no putter required This was also a day for seeing lots of wildlife on the course, from cranes and raccoons scampering across a parking lot to this bad boy sunning himself next to one of the tee boxes.

chisag Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 ... One of my favorite tee shots at Aguila or anywhere for that matter. About a 175 carry over the canyon that is much, much deeper than it looks in the picture. Bunker left about 220 and bunker right about the same distance. Another bunker about 300 that I aim right at and only reached once with a perfect tee shot aided by a slight breeze. Flat to about 240 then a downslope you can ride with a really good tee shot. When hit well I am usually about 10 yds short of the bunker and it sets up for a long approach to the green. The bunkers frame the hole very well. This is the only hole on the course where houses are visible but a good ways off the right side and the mountains are also much more majestic than the pictures show. Normally bright blue skies but it rained for the first time this morning and it was nice to see some clouds for a change of pace but perfectly happy with bright blue and sunny skies.

Mtbryant01 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 85 43/42 1 birdie / 8 pars / 6 doubles : / 10 FIRs, 8 GIRs It was an all or nothing round for me. Wind was blowing 15-20+ making the club section more difficult or me. A couple bad lies and errors off the tee turned a good round into an average one. Greens were super fast and not holding anything, made for some fun chips/putts downhill to the hole... Overall, happy to be able to play during the winter and continue to improve my game.

Rickp Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 So if you have an early tee time, you are SOL? Here there are no tee times available until 2pm. We have frost delays that can last up to 2 hours. Most of the time people cancel and we are caught up in about an hour. On Exec SOL. On the 18 holes you start on the hole you should be on based on how many minutes per hole. So if you had 8:00 Tee time and frost lifted at 9:00 you will start at where you should have been @ that time. You will not be charged for the shortened 9 holes.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Kenny B and sirchunksalot 2 Quote Rick Left Hand, Driver; PXG 0311XF Cypher 50 gr Senior 5 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 7 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 5 hybrid; Cally Steelhead, Hazardous R2 Irons; Mizuno JPX 923HM 7-GW Recoil 460 F2 Wedges; Titleist S9 54*, Mizuno SW 56* Putter; Waaay too many to list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah T Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 It was sunny and 45 today, so I figured why not? Shot 6 over 78: 11 GIR 32 putts. Still not hitting a lot of fairways (5/14) and not a great day for up and downs(2/7) but it always amuses me how well I can play when I have zero expectations... fixyurdivot, CarlH, GolfSpy_SHARK and 4 others 7 Quote Driver - Cobra LtDxLS 3 Wood - Ping g410 LST 2iron - Titleist U505 Irons - Ping i59 Wedges - Vokey Sm9 Putter - Mizuno Mcraft IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlH Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Pleased with my ball striking today. Made some solid putts. 39/39 ... had a double bogey on the front when I hit my 60 wedge thin and sailed it well over the green into trouble. On the opposite end of the spectrum, birdied the number 2 handicap hole with a 4 hybrid approach to 2 feet below the hole.
