How'd you play?

[fozcycle]

Fairway wood continues to be the star of the show. Was hitting ropes off the tee and off the deck. It was a shorter course so I didn't pull the driver more than 6 or 7 times and hit some really good drives. Continue to be really impressed with this line of clubs. Looking to see what they can do once I actually get into a groove with my swing

As pure as ever.  She's the only reason I shot 80.  So many clutch 8 foot putts made to save par or bogey.  Lots of great lag putts after getting on the green but coming nowhere near the flag.

Here is my scorecard. Looking back on my iron purchase last year I might should have gone with the G irons or the Z565s. I am not a great ball striker and my iron play is really killing me right now.

Day 1 of the 2018 Buddy Trip is in the books. This year I cut it in half and only invited 12 players. Staying in Kissimmee and we are playing a different course every day. (Thurs-Sunday). First course was North Shores and very enjoyable. We play a points game each day with a scramble this afternoon then group dinner tonight. Today will be Kissimmee Bay. Breakfast is prepared by yours truly...

Yum!!, that looks so good.

Shot 78 yesterday, missed a bunch of 10-12 footers for birdie. It would have been nice to see a couple of them drop. Played well, struck the ball well. I adjusted the grips on Friday night to get the alignment on the align grip so the club look more square to closed at address instead of looking open, and that made a big difference. Hopefully I can continue striking the ball solid.

Are your iron strikes just not coming off pure? Were you fitted into them?

I definitely don't pure them each time but I was fitted by a Ping Fitter last year and was striking them dead center every time at the fitting might need a refitting or a lesson

Perfect answers! As I am beginning to understand, one's swing can change quite a lot even during a full season and even for better players as you are. Hopefully you can get the same fitter to check things out

That won't be possible as I had to move this year to Jacksonville but I will find a fitter to check them probably lessons first then a fitter ic things changed I can send them to Ping I believe to get readjusted

Well, I played and played well for an even par 72. Today was the five year anniversary of my Dad's passing and it was a tough day as it is every year. I started my day as I do most days and asked Alexa to play me some country music. Alexa decided to start my day with “You Should Be Here” by Cole Swindell which was not a good start. Hell I cry at that song anytime I here it so let's just say I got a bit emotional. So I did what i do and played some golf and had a few pops in honor of my old man. Today was a day that score didn't matter to me nor should it. I may still have a good cry or two in me before I call it a night but they are of fond memories and not of sorrow....just as the old man would have wanted.

Wonderful memories, need no excuse. Family is always the driving force of our lives. I feel sorry for those that never had that, or chose to walk away from it.

Keep on celebrating and remembering, and crying. I know we who have also lost support you.

Good round, sounds like your pops was right there along side you playing a round of golf. It good to remember all the fun times, and it's okay to cry tears of sadness while remembering. It's been 41 years for me, and I still donfrom time to time, not as often as when I was younger, but now and again it just hits.

[cnosil]

Overall I played well today.   Biggest issue was the 11th hole where my game just totally blew up;  snap hook tee shot, snap hook second into hazard, drop, chunked pitch, bladed pitch,  bladed chip, chunked chip, on the green, 2 putt.   Really happy with my tee game,  irons are good (figured out my face was closed on long irons),  short game was generally decent with 2 sand saves,  and figured out I don't like the old K-Sig balls.     The old K-Sigs are great tee to green,  but were just dead off the putter and couldn't figure out how to get the ball to the hole. 

 

Conditions were chilly with about a constant 15 MPH wind and I was exhausted after my wife and I ended up volunteering at my daughers after-prom (got home at 3:30AM)

[Miboy62]

Sunny day 60* little cold wind ever now, and then.

F8+ is do for a time out, FlyZ + going back in the bag.

 

43/44=87

Fairway 6

GIR 7

Putts 37 had my share of burning the cup.

[Mr_Theoo]

Got out for my first 9 of the year. It was nice to play again. Shot 51 over 9 which means I have a lot of work to do if I wanna shoot under 80 this season. Short game was much better overall though so I'm pleased

[silver & black]

I played very poorly today. All the pins were set as difficult as they could be from an outing the previous day. I shot 91. It's been a very long time since I had a 9 in front of my score. This game is very humbling, to say the least.

[pulledabill]

Solid 81 today. Driving was reasonable as was my short game which I was steuggling with on approaches. Always good for me to take a few days off.

I think we all go through that to some extent. It's not easy then or now especially if there's something important around that particular anniversary that brings back Those memories.

I shot exactly 91 today as well after not having shot in the 90s for a year. I couldn't put anything within a holeable distance aside from the only hole I managed to birdie today. A couple of the pins were on some weird slopes and if you were above the hole, good luck stopping your ball if you didn't hit the cup. I had a couple that were longer putts coming back than they were going downhill. The G400 was finding fairways though, I think I only missed 3. 260-270 and in the fairway -- it's doing exactly as I wanted it to.

Thanks for letting unto your heart brotha'...Great write-up and his memory now lives on with us all...God bless and hit 'em straight out there!

[PING Apologist #9]

After reading Jmikecpa's post just now I'm not sure that I'm ready to gloss on my day out there right now honestly...Think I'll hang back with some respect and maybe though these electrons and air-waves, somehow find a way to send  along my humble best wishes to him and his family...  Good night all and...well damnit..Cheers!

[HardcoreLooper]

First round walking after surgery and the first one I actually felt like a human being for all 18 holes.  The score relative to par doesn't really tell you much because the course I played is pretty easy, but the 8.0 differential is right about where I should be.  Still threw a few shots away, but it was nice to finish up and not be in pain.

[BigtazzGolf]

Posted a humbling 95 yesterday at Forest hills in Drummond TN. Played from the tip roughly 6600 and with the wind it probably was 6800 lol. One par 3 played at 260 but down hill. Caught my 3 wood in the screws and came up 5 yds short of the green. It was a fun day to me but others not so much.

Some rounds you just enjoy even if you get whipped

Finally made it out, shot a liberal 96, we had the course to ourselves so there were a few "eh hit another one" 

 

Love the Cleveland CBX wedge for full swings but not so much for chips. 

[evershady]

Played front 9 twice last week. 42, 37 with 4 total birdies. Hitting the ball really well putting well. Found 3 fried egg bunkers in the first round hitting a nice little draw that I'm not used to. Partial wedges shots going a little long right now too, but very happy with the start. Also both round less than 2 putts per green which has been my standard for years.

Interclub starts this weekend, have a match at Tega Cay golf club, I don't much care for the course, but hoping to get a W on the road. My game is coming around so hopefully I can continue to play well.

[PING Apologist #9]

Did 18 yesterday in our valley's most challenging course, Quail Hollow. Lots of terrain, several blind shots and we also got rained on to start. 4-man scramble best-ball format but set as a 3-vs.-1. First time out with my driver's stock-length shaft cut down by 1" and my driving was a whole lot better than ever before overall. Had the confidence to just swing it and that confidence rolled over to mostly decent or good approach shots, improving wedge & short iron play and I even made a 20' putt!

My tee shot with a 6i on the par-3 149-yd 4'th

 

Claim-to-fame was on the par-5 7'th hole playing at 470-yds. It is an elevated tee box to a large fairway that is mostly a blind shot over a crest. I tatered one with the wind at our back and somehow it caught up to the group ahead...they were annoyed but I was very happy! . That was the shot we took and my 5i approach from about 170 landed on the right side slope of the green, rolled on and then down to about 20' for eagle! We all missed the eagle try, but I then drained the birdie from 5'! 

Yes that's mine to the right...

 

Overall it was a great day and we beat up on our vs-1. As a group we ended with an 84 while he came in with an 87! Maybe he'll think twice about not needing his normal 1/2 stroke..!

[DPattGolf]

Played my 5th tournament of the year yesterday Just a laid back 9 hole scramble but I hit the ball pretty decent. The season is off to a good start and I am now $221.50 in the black so far!
