How'd you play?

[Golfspy_CG2]

Horrible, shot 98 with 10 penalty strokes.   Granted two of them came from hitting the driver too far into hazards I don't normally reach.   The rest were on just plain bad bounces or a couple bad swings.

 

But that's all the bad, the GOOD was that I was joined by PAGolfer2017 who came down to the area for a round.   It was a great time, and he generously left me with a sleeve of Snell Blacks, as I mentioned I had never tried them.

 

Thanks Josh, you can come back anytime!!

Nice little humble brag there, Rob

40x2=80. Got over 2” rain last night so course was wet, real wet no roll. Hot no wind but still OK. 2 birdies which have been elusive lately. 18 th hole was only big blemish, dbl bogie! Had a great 4 some with lots of nut crushing.

3rd hole Par 3 tee shot. Measured 147 yds, 7 iron uphill.

You mean to say that those magical new wedges aren't fixing all of your problems? Totally kidding. I played Saturday and was fatting all of my approach shots (NOT a data collection day). Finally on about the 15th hole, I realized that I was standing with the ball slightly more forward in my stance.. durr... It's those millimeters of a miss that mean the difference between thin, fat, and money. Damn this game!

Ha yeah. The wedges are not the problem. Trust me.

And in true golfer friend banter fashion. We all said “Nice Par”.

[Kor.A.Door]

Played thebclubs Member-Member. 2 separate courses. On Saturday my partner played horribly, I played ok. I shot 45-38=83, I was getting 6 strokes, so net 77, my partner was getting 8 strokes, and as a team we shot 75. On Sunday we both played much better. Team 68 with bogeys on the final 2 holes. I have a massive rant that I will put into that thread, it has to do with a group hitting into us.

Played 18 yesterday. First 9 was just to get out and swing a bit. Shot 36 with 2 birdies.

 

Then the crazy weather came in for the league 9. The cloud cover was DARK! Like disk darkness....which was crazy because it was only 4. It was hard to see anything. And it stayed like that for 7+ holes. Strangest thing I've ever seen weather wise. Hit the ball pretty well, with one big wind aided 58* wedge that flew the green and pin by 15 yards...and a chunked chip shot for my 3rd into a par 5. Ended the round with a 37. Should have been 35, but tis golf.

Foz is going on the Cobra Advisory Staff if not the Champions Tour.

 

If I can get back on the course, I'm going to try those new Cobra Fozcycle hybrids.

 

Haven't had 'brids in the back since the Halos.

Played in my sectional US Mid Am Qualifier today at Crooked Stick. Had a sort of scratchy +2 on the first 9 then birdied my 10th hole to get to +1. Couple holes later on a long par 3 I have a little pitch off of tight wet lie and fatted it about a yard forward. Bounced dead sideways and went down the slope of a bunker beside me and stopped in long snarled grass way below my feet. Couple more swats at it and I make triple on a par 3 then miss 3 more par putts inside 5 feet coming in and sign for 79. Not the first time I've put myself in position to have a chance then throw it away with poor play and poor execution. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. That's golf I guess

Wait... did you say you are going to try some tech??

 

I think you'll like it!

That sucks. You'll get em next time.

Played another quick post work 9. Started off triple, double, and bogey on a easy par 3, then double on a easy short par 4. Then had a course employee play through. I was walking and hitting a few balls because I was doing so poorly up to that point. I watched him hit his 9 iron and just thought. Man he swung that so nice and easy. And DING DING DING.

 

The bells chimed. The heavens opened up. And suddenly I was letting the club do the work and striping my irons. Finished with a 47. Went all bogeys on the rest of the holes except for one par and had 3 GIRs on the next 5 holes. Should've been 4 but got a bad hop on the 185 yd par 3 (from the whites). Finally it's coming together. I hope.

Yep!  Sometimes that's all it takes.  Hope you found something.

 

If you were playing basketball, a triple double would be a good thing.

Late Entry: I played Sunday, and couldn't find the hole with a two hands and a flashlight on the front 9. But improved on the back and birdied 16,17, and 18 to finish strong. That was fun!

[GB13]

41-42-83 (+11)

FIR 4/14

GIR 5/18 Well, that is where the shots went. I am normally around 11-12. I had a lot of bad misses with the driver that left me in a position where I couldn't hit the green.

17-14-31 Putts Good putting day thanks to some better chipping but still missed a few putts I should have made.

My ball striking was atrocious. Couldn't hit a shot well. I have been going through a swing change (narrowing my stance) and had unbeknownst me had started standing closer to the ball. I then adjusted that and started striking the ball better. I feel like things are eventually going to come around.

[srooch2]

Qualified for the Illinois State Amateur today. Shot 35-36. Only bogey was the 18th hole. Finished T-3. They took 8.

Very disappointing 48 tonight. 9 hole League. Two weeks left to make the playoffs and I'm 7 points out. So I needed something in the 42-44 range to get close.

 

Started out 3 over after 5--which is good for me---and sitting in the middle of the 5th fairway (our 6th hole) and we had to wait several minutes on the group in front.

 

169 to the flag, 120 to carry a pond in front of the green. You can guess what happened. El chunko....hit the dropped 4th shot into some bushes to the right of the green. Walked off with a quad.

 

Next tee shot blew right OB. And on from there finishing those last 4 holes in 9 over

 

I need to be mentally stronger than that. Just bogey golf the last 4 holes gets me a 43 and I'm in great shape.

I'm going through a change as well, and a narrower stance is one change.  It awkward, but starting to feel better.

Sounds like you have to go out and grab it next time.  Nothing to lose.  Don't focus on the score on a hole; play the shot.  You can pull this out!!!

[tommc23]

Had 4 blow up holes today two of which were 10s and two 7s. Every thing else was par or bogey with one double bogey. Those holes killed me. The day started off in the 50s and I was playing well with a windbreaker on, once I took it off there went my round.

heavy rain today, 4 ball match, during the squalls (and they were squalls) we all played well, holes won or halved with pars. when it was just rain we all had bogies or worse lol

 

I've gone back to how I played when I was younger, NO swing thoughts of turn behind the ball, weight on right heel, start downswing with the left thigh turning away and rotating blah blah blah.

 

I set up, swung back, swung through hard while keeping head still.......opponents even commented how good sounding the strikes were. That will do for me.

[ole gray]

42 + 40 = 82 today.   We started on the back nine since it was so crowded and I was off just a bit with the moving my big melon around too much.   The 42 was not so bad considering some of my misses however my Square Strike Wedge and putter kept things from getting too ugly.  Started out on the front with par, double, par, double, bogey, birdie, par, par, par, for the 40 on the back.

GIR 8/18 Still not up to normal standards but improving.

Putts 14-15-29 Ahh, now that is what I should fixate on, putter was quite good but this came from some great chipping.

 

All in all just a blah day.
