How'd you play?

Recommended Posts

After running around this morning the sun came out a little so I decided to play 9 between the rain and a little snow. 39 degrees with a 5 to 10 mph wind. Struck the ball well but had trouble putting together a good distance with my 2nd shot with the cold air and a wind. Bogey golf with 2 pars amd 2 doubles. Broke out an old putter but it hurt me. Hit 6 of 9 fairways though and never had a bad miss. 15 putts with one 3 putt. Lots of scrambling when you also hit 3 greenside bunkers. The good with that is that I got out of all 3 with my first try. Not always the norm.

 

All in all not super displeased except I dont like bogey golf. Struck everything solid which was good and I hit my new to me 2 hybrid twice and struck it well.

Where bouts ya from?  We were sitting outside with shorts on today and enjoying a beautiful upper 70 degree day in Georgia.   It looks like the cold nasty stuff is stuck on the other side of Bama. 

 

It does feel good to pick up a new club and it works as expected.  I game a 2 hybrid myself and I've had it in my bag for several years now and it's a permanent part of my bag.

I think you need a bit more snow and ice to help you better appreciate the nice weather.

Played 9 this morning shot a 42. Pretty happy with that as my 1st real outing after having the FLU. Definitely can't play 18 yet get tired fast. Going to take weekend off and try Monday, probably only 9 again. This Type A FLU is a butt kicker.

First real round back after a couple of significant changes. Had me finger bent straight, and my irons bent to standard lie from 3 upright.

 

Played off the back marks in a gentle 25-30mph wind. Had 8 over, really struggled to get the ball to the hole, left it short on 12 greens. Ball striking was pretty solid, happy with how I hit my irons after the adjustment.

 

Highlight was driving the green on the 345 yard 3rd. Lowlight was leaving the eagle putt 6 foot short (from 20 foot) At least I made the next one.

 

Hand pulled up well, only a couple of painful twinges.

I hit a small bucket of balls and then  took off to the backside to catch three guys on #10.   I shot 41 and was pleased with my ball striking.  There was a big tournament going off at noon and we finished in plenty of time plus I got my golf fix in!

I like em, alot!  The Titleist AP1 irons had stronger lofts so I'm adjusting with the different gaps but  yea, I'm seeing some really solid strikes.

Rick it just hit me what your question meant...   :P    My irons are the "G" model or last year's addition.   For some reason I thought you were asking if I had a G or G400 driver.  Hell I worked in the yard all day post my golf today and my body is wasted and my brain is dead.  :wacko:

As a great man once said “a waste is a terrible thing to mind”

G is very similar to the G400.

Today was a real battle!! Ball was moving on the green, and it was wobbling on the tee.  Checked the weather on my laptop when I got home.  

 

Richland Weather 2-25-2018.jpeg

 

I've been striking the ball really well lately and hope I've found something that sticks.  I shot +4 on the front but my wife shot +3.  However, I kicked her arse on the back nine; I shot +5 and she shot +12.  I think the wind wore her out.

Ball striking was good; putting was good;  tee shots were okay,  lost a few to the right; short game was as usual miserable.  Shot 40-42 in some windy conditions,  not as windy as Kenny B but probably a 1 to 1.5 club wind.

Shot 89, but it really wasn't that bad. 2 triples and a few doubles, so 12 over in 5 holes. Had 38 putts, so three-putts killed me, and when my back stiffened-up on the back, I yanked three drives left and lost all three. I actually feel pretty good about the round

I'm impressed with your positive attitude.  Being positive even when holes go bad is a great step to a better game.
