Popular Post SDGolf619 Posted April 25 Popular Post Share Posted April 25 (edited) Shot an 85 from the blue tees at Balboa Park. It's a tough course and the wind was up a little, so I feel pretty good about it. Greens were still bumpy from being aerated a month ago so can't really say I putted poorly since I left a few short but most of them rolled past the hole. Just a few too many bogeys and doubles, but avoided any big numbers and had a nice par streak from 12-15. Doubled the hardest par 5 16th which is my nemesis hole, but then parred 17 and 18 to finish strong. Getting closer to my breaking 80 goal from the blue tees for this year. I already shot 77 from the white tees last October. Really just a few solid shots and made putts from a 79. Just getting my confidence back after a dreaded case of the shanks and heel shots, so feeling good about my swing and practice routing as summer approaches.

Popular Post cksurfdude Posted April 25 Popular Post Share Posted April 25 Got out for 9 at a new to me course - really nice layout set into some wetlands and woods. Started out ok .. a kind of surprising "easy" par on the first then two good (for me) bogeys. Then #4 .. I dunno... Tee -> slice -> splash. Drop -> chunked. Attempted shot on green -> fluffed, splash. Drop -> barely made it onto the front of the green. Just to make the pain complete? 3 putt... This is the view from the back tees on a Par 3 - 200 from the Blacks, yes basically all carry! Fortunately the Gold and Red were waaay further up, with a clean shot .. no water .. and only about 120 into the wind for me. But yeah still came up short, on the front fringe... Here's another short Par 4 where yep this guy drove it straight down the middle and through the fairway into the rough at the end! (..thank you firm and fast fairway ) And, well, after this things fell apart... Managed a bogey on the next Par 3 .. almost had a miraculous up & down after a terrible awful horrible nasty bad not good attempt at a tee shot. #8 and #9 went double, triple.......

The tee ball is fantastic , putter and chipping have really come around with the Bermuda growing in . I’m excited to start out with confidence and a great feeling .

The match play that I mentioned earlier is an event sponsored by our course. I made it to the last four men (semi finals) last year and hope to take it all the way this year. we have four different men's leagues ( one being the scratch league), that I'm trying to navigate too.

We have 4 different men's leagues as well, Men's scratch (I call this the flat belly league) Senior men's scratch (round bellies) Men's handicap (open to anyone but usually played in the later afternoon so working guys can play) then Senior handicap (usually played anywhere from 11am to 1pm). So lots of options available. Usually an "A" division and a "B" division, highest point team from "B" moves to "A" and vice versa so there is incentive to play well as the "A" division usually gives you better competition. It is cheap and allows us to play 4 or 5 different clubs in the area and we get dinner or lunch after the round, it is just a really good system as far as I am concerned. In our case at our club we dont have many "scratch" players so a 2.2 index that you have would probably make the scratch league. One of our clubs in the area have 40 players with scratch or better indexes so yes, they have a strong team lol...

Popular Post Rob Person Posted April 26 Popular Post Share Posted April 26 Wtg on the eagle @birdiesandbags !!! Today was a first on many levels for me playing golf... I played a local benefit scramble tournament today and was part of a 4 man team from the PD, just one team of many from work. There were 55 teams total iirc across 8 departments participating. We'll over 200 players. 2 of the guys I work with are newer to golf, and the one is a coworker on my sqaud, they are 25 hcps Avg We started out with birdie birdie, then 1 team mate hit for an eagle. i had 2 natural birdies and a natural eagle!!! 465 yd par 5. Caught the downhill side of what should have been a nasty ob hook, and it kicked right and rolled 30 more yards into the middle of the fairway. 165 to pin, hit a low straight shot with the 4hy, and it rolled 4 feet from the pin. They let me putt for the eagle. We placed 9th overall, but with hcp adjustments took 3rd at the final tally!!! Got my 1st golf trophy too! Since it was a charity event, naturally we bought a few mulligans, and a ton of raffle tickets for bonus things like throw the ball, drop a stroke, etc. We only ended up using 2 mulligans and 3 throw a ball. We had to declare it to the tee Marshall before we teed off on the par 3s ans par 5s. We forgot about the drop a stroke tickets though! One of the guys used a throw a ball ticket after coming up short on a par 3 (186yards) he was 20 feet from the pin, and I came up short too off the drive. He underhand tossed it and it rolled into the cup. While not a technical ACE, on the card it was!!! The DB performed very well, sinking 10 of the 18 holes we played! Overall it was a great day, I'm slightly over heated as it reached 91⁰ out, even though I stayed plenty hydrated. Really didn't have a ton of opportunities for pics. But managed to get a couple in. birdiesandbags, Northern Monkey, rkj427 and 12 others 10 5 Quote WITB-Foremost 551's - 3w, 5w, 5-SW (circa 1998), Top Flite 460cc Driver, Adam's 7w, Warrior GW and 60⁰, Odyssey AI-One DB putter.

Haven't played much to start this season but we renewed our membership today so it'll be the first of many rounds with him this year. Only had time for 9, was real pleased with my game off the tee and my iron play. Struggled with partial feel shots as I always do when starting the season but the new L.A.B.

Popular Post GolfSpy_KFT Posted April 26 Popular Post Share Posted April 26 Got out with my oldest son yesterday afternoon to play 9 and we had a great time. Save for two holes, I played a very solid round and shot a 47. The reason I say this was a very solid round is because that 47 included two triples, including the 1st hole. Early on I was topping everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, with woods. Thankfully, iron striking was solid throughout the round. I had 2 three putts, both on the triple bogey holes. So I played +5 through the other 7 holes. Some highlights from the round: On hole 2, 176 yard 6 iron into the wind to pin high just off the green On hole 3, flushed 8 iron 161 yards but slight overdraw and missed the green right, again pin high On hole 7, 251 yard drive but again over drawn, ended up next to a stump. Punched it forward with a 6 iron and was just off the 14 green but a good look at the green on 7. Arguably best shot execution next with a 3H where I hit a high draw that ended up just off the back of the fringe. 52* chip to 1 foot to save par. On hole 8, 257 yard draw to middle of fairway, 3/4 swing 60* to 15 feet, left birdie putt short 2' for par On hole 9, 253 yard drive, slight over draw that kicked down a bank. 6 iron punch to the fairway, 30 yard 60* to the green, 40' lag putt to 2' bogey A lot of good to take away from the round, and just continuing to work on ball striking and consistency to avoid the blow up holes. I am feeling confident that by peak season, I can be consistently shooting in the low 40s and am aiming to break 40/80 on 9/18 holes this summer Rob Person, taylorjonasher, GolfSpy_SHARK and 8 others 7 4 Quote Driver: TSi3 9* Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 6X Fairways: Aerojet Max 3W & 7W MCA Kai'Li White 60 Stiff Hybrid: King TEC 3H MCA MMT 85g Stiff Irons: Aerojet 6-GW KBS $-taper Lite Stiff Wedges: Snakebite Black 52/56/60 Hi-Rev 2.0 Black Stiff Putter: Super Select Newport 2.0 Ball: Tour X & ProV1x #LeftyGang Cobra 50th Anniversary Member Special Challenge (link here) Unofficial FootJoy Hyperflex BOA 2023 Review Unofficial Flightscope Mevo Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ejgaudette Posted April 26 Popular Post Share Posted April 26 Got out for 9 holes, plus a couple extras yesterday afternoon at Lochmere Country Club in Tilton, NH which was a blast. Saw 2 other groups on the course the whole time. Started to feel the rust coming off when shoot +3 (38) for the front. Started off hitting 3 straight greens before some iffy drives and missed greens led to the bogeys. Short game needs a bit more warming up to be sure. Driver was hit or miss, I had a bomb on the 5th that plays way down hill, and might have gotten a touch of cart path help. Still was the longest drive that I have hit ever. Also the second drive shown was into #10 a really tough driving hole to avoid the water left but playing right leave a long way in on an uneven lie to an uphill green. This is by far the best drive I have ever hit on the hole, even though it was into the wind rolling out down the fairway.

Popular Post Siamese Moose Posted April 26 Popular Post Share Posted April 26 There's a par 3 course (Robins Nest) about a dozen miles from me. I've always wanted to check it out, but finally got there this morning. It's certainly not the pitch and putt I was expecting, with multiple holes over 200, up to 260, and I only used a wedge off the tee once. The greens were on the slow side, but they rolled quite well. I expected perfectly round greens (seems to be the norm here), but these had some real character, and a few very difficult slopes. Unfortunately, I was epicly bad. There was a slow foursome a few groups ahead (everyone else was singles), so I did some much needed extra chipping and putting on most holes. (There was nobody behind me.) For $9.75 for 9 holes, I'll go back to use it as a good practice site. ejgaudette, Northern Monkey, TJ Hall and 8 others 10 1 Quote Moose, my cat, is Siamese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarkWGriswoldIII Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Subbed in a league last night and shot 45 with a 9. A 9! Pin high in my third shot on a par 5 buy in some absolutely gnarly super deep awful rough. First hack was essentially whiff and the ball settled in even more. Hack two results in the classic deep rough hosel grab and a dead left to behind the green where I'm short sided. Tow bad chips and and two putts later and I am on the way to the next tee with a quadruple bogey.

Erin B Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Played ok. 20-30mph winds so I worked on lower, penetrating shots. I was successful! I’m liking my improvement. Numbers were pretty high at the start of the season. I still have work to do. But not too bad today!

Josh Parker Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I played this afternoon and didn't have a terrible round but wasn't great either. I keep reminding myself that I am making a major overhaul with my swing and I'm going to have bad shots. No doubles on the card but plenty of bogies and missed opportunities. I have another lesson in the morning and then weather permitting, a round in the afternoon. I am excited for the changes and see the pluses, but man I wish my middle name was patience. Haha. cksurfdude, GolfSpy_SHARK, Northern Monkey and 5 others 8 Quote Paradym TD Driver w/ Ventus Blue 6S 3W MKII ZX 5's (4-6) w/ KBS Tour V MKII ZX 7's (7-PW) w/ KBS Tour V Vokey Wedges 50* 54* 58* DF2.1 Putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
