How'd you play?

Wasn't going to play today as the weather was wet, cold and misty. By noon it was a beautiful sunny day, stiff breeze and cold but at least it was dry.

Played well today, long game was good, chipping great but bogied 6 in a row from the fairway with silly shots or short putts but the greens are slow and a bit bumpy this time of year with no growth.

76, happy with that considering my game has been all over the place recently.

Yup.  Our place in the Ruby Valley is at 5200 ft. and we've had snow on the ground for a couple of months now.  Temps here in Yuma are now trying for the 90 mark. We usually head back to MT the first week of April... decisions, decisions. 

Heh, seems like a no-brainer to extend a bit, but there is no place like home though...

I played 18 today at Scott Lake Country Club north of Grand Rapids, another course I had never played before. $30 for 18 holes and cart, winter rates. I had only intended on walking nine, but the weather meant I had the course to myself and finished in three hours. I started playing in 38 degree temperatures and a light drizzle, and it didn't get much warmer. Course played 5,625 yards from the white tees, total par of 70, and it was still very wet in spots.

Shot an 85! 42-43, and unfortunately had a major blowup eight on the second nine after hooking my first drive out of bounds. Could have, and should have been better! One of my goals for this season was to break 90, and I'm going to go ahead and count this even though it was a par 70.

The good: Thanks to @Shankster, my chipping was much better today. Last week it cost me a lot of strokes around the green. Today I had a few "bad" chips, but my misses today were much more tolerable than last week. My putting was pretty good, too, once I figured out I was setup too open to my line about two or three holes in. My course strategy was also good again today. All in all, had two birdies so I'll never be upset with that.

I also got to whip out the new Epic Flash and was impressed! Stage one review will be coming soon!

The bad: My ball-striking was horrific. This is a direct holdover from an absolutely terrible range session yesterday. Mentally, I wasn't confident over the ball until very late in the round. I can't continue to play that way. When I play tight like that, my swing gets all out of sorts, my swing speed goes way down, etc. "Thin it to win it," was definitely a motto for me today, and I know I even yelled that a few times trying to coax the ball into the right spots. Thankfully almost all of my misses were playable.

I also was not impressed with parts of the course. The last six or so holes on the "Gold" nine are very awkwardly designed. They play down to and around Scott Lake (hence the name), but the holes are just stupidly run up-and-down over gigantic hills. This is culminated by a 534-yard dogleg-left par 5 where you must hit a long iron about 200 yards off the tee up a massive hill to a blind layup spot. This leaves you with 300-plus yards in to the green. I'm all for working with the natural contours of the land, but this was a little ridiculous.

Another miscue - I played Red/Gold, which was opposite of the orientation in GAME Golf, so it didn't track correctly and I only got nine holes figured out. Oh well.

Best hole: I birdied the opening par 5. I hit a five iron about 195 yards down to the landing spot in front of a gully. Another five iron (thinned!) to right of the cart path short of the hole, 54 degree to the green. Knocked in a 10-15 footer for birdie.

Played a full 18 after work yesterday afternoon. Saw the most amazing thing! A twosome of walkers had the entire course on gridlock! Both would walk to player “A” ball, wait for him to go through his routine and play a shot, then both would walk to player “B” ball and go through the whole scenario again. Even if each player were on opposite sides of a fairway! A couple of times, the tee shots were 100 yards apart.

Thankfully, they only played 9. At the turn, I politely asked why they were doing this because it was stacking up play behind them. The response was “we only have one range finder!”

38/44 at Mesa Del Sol.  Only one double bogey on a short dog leg par 4 that I talked myself into trying to cut the corner.  Folks sitting out in their lawn said it hit the tree in the fairway and bounce back into their yard (OB).  Oh well, was hitting Driver X pretty good all day and the testosterone simply took over... I think it was testosterone, but could be something else at this point. 😄

I also went early and hit the G410's again and tried the i500's.  Holy s***, the i500's were tough to hit consistent.  When I flushed them they flew, but I can definitely say forged blades no longer look suitable for my game.  This now the third time I've tried the G410's with both the AWT and Project X shafts, I'm still not seeing results that make me want to drop $1200.  I need to try some more irons.

Check out the Mizuno 919s if you get a chance... really nice feel and a ton of shaft options.

Yes, I know that's true.  I was just thinking of the 38 inch Taylor Made Spider blade putter that I have in my collection.  😄 

I have one of those and wasn't sure how I would like the extra length above my hands but it really feels good and helps reinforce that pendulum stroke.  I also like the fact that I can decide how far down I want to grip it.

Will do.  I did test the JPX900 HM last summer and, while nice, like the G400, I200's, and Taylormade M3, none are moving me away from the PE2's.  Interesting though is just how small the PE2's look compared to most of these.

Tweaked my back on the first tee.  😬  Right side at the bottom of my ribcage.  

Hitting off tees was OK if I swung at 50%.  Hitting off the ground on anything but pitch shots hurt, even at 50%.  It was 45º and sunny when my wife and I teed off, and it warmed up to 65º by the time we finished.  I was hitting better shots on the back nine.  We had a great time playing with two guys in their late 40's who outdrove me by 50 yards.  They bought me a double BV/seven at the turn because I think they felt sorry for me.  They MIGHT have broken 100.

Me?  5 doubles, 8 bogeys, 4 pars, and 1 birdie = 89... my short game saved me.  Could have been a lot worse.  

We have a 9:46 tee time tomorrow.  😀

Not a good day today.  Couldn't seem to get into any kind of groove.  Putts just a bit outside.  Hit a few good shots, hit a few stinkers.  Really struggled with my knee ... couldn't wait to finish the round.  Eeked out an 85 after putting 2 balls in 2 different ponds.  Seeing the orthopedic surgeon on Tuesday.  Hope to fix a date for the knee replacement and then I won't be playing for around 6 weeks after the surgery.

So, I had one of those rounds that makes me fairly optimistic.  I played Arcadia Municipal again.  It's about 5800 yards, with a lot less trouble than most of the courses I play.  It started like this:

0331191110a-01.jpeg.62ca136ec96b0250e27523bcc8b0dcc0.jpeg

That's my tee shot on #1.  285 yd. par 4.  I pulled out the Mitsushiba chipper that I just cut down to the same length as my putter, chipped it up to about 3 feet and rolled in the birdie.  I thought about quitting right there.

Overall, I went 43/45 for an 88, which is a little better than I've played in a long time.  That included 32 putts (I added weight to my putter and like it!), a bunch of pars, an atrocious quad on a par 3 and a couple of doubles.  The driver was outstanding.  I lost one to the left, but even that one wasn't in big trouble, just left a poor angle.

The big issue today was from 50 - 75 yards out.  Felt like I might as well have turned around and shot it back to 125 to play from there.

I always try to remember that I'm not good enough to get mad!

Mostly disappointed with my my pitching and chipping.  Was doing so well yesterday during practice and started out terribly today.   It got a little better toward the end of the round.

I was able to play today in Hilton Head at Palmetto Plantation Arthur Hills course from the Gold tees (73.8 and 139 slope - 6918 yds).  Weather was great - about 65 on the first 9 and low 70's on the second with around 10 mph winds.  Shot of the day was a sawed off 2 hybrid from 226 that was into the wind so I played it about 240 with a low cut and ended up 8 feet from the hole, downfall was that I missed the putt!  Had a couple errant tee shots, but overall was very pleased with my round and like how I'm scoring so far this year. 

Round Score - 75 (1 Double, 4 Bogeys, 3 Birdies - 39/36)

Fairways - 9/14

Greens - 11/18

Putts - 30 (1 Three putt on a very tricky green with large hills/slopes all around the pin)

Not a good day today.  Couldn't seem to get into any kind of groove.  Putts just a bit outside.  Hit a few good shots, hit a few stinkers.  Really struggled with my knee ... couldn't wait to finish the round.  Eeked out an 85 after putting 2 balls in 2 different ponds.  Seeing the orthopedic surgeon on Tuesday.  Hope to fix a date for the knee replacement and then I won't be playing for around 6 weeks after the surgery.  

You will be glad you get your knee done.  I should have done mine earlier.  Golf is much better now and pain free (well, knee anyway).  I waited until November for mine; was ready to play in February.

Yes.  I was trying to kick the can down the road, but that isn't going to happen.  Too painful to walk.  I'll just have to sit out the early part of summer.  Fortunately, we can play year round in Medford, albeit the winters aren't that great.  I'll know more tomorrow.

Tweaked my back on the first tee.  😬  Right side at the bottom of my ribcage.  

Hitting off tees was OK if I swung at 50%.  Hitting off the ground on anything but pitch shots hurt, even at 50%.  It was 45º and sunny when my wife and I teed off, and it warmed up to 65º by the time we finished.  I was hitting better shots on the back nine.  We had a great time playing with two guys in their late 40's who outdrove me by 50 yards.  They bought me a double BV/seven at the turn because I think they felt sorry for me.  They MIGHT have broken 100.

Me?  5 doubles, 8 bogeys, 4 pars, and 1 birdie = 89... my short game saved me.  Could have been a lot worse.  

We have a 9:46 tee time tomorrow.  😀

Well, we had a frost delay so didn't tee off until 10:34.  We played with another couple and he had a back pain as well, so we agreed to play from the White Tees.  I still swung about 50%, maybe 70% on a few tee shots, and I didn't have as many poor shots hitting off the ground.  

Less yardage to cover helped a lot!!  1 double, 5 bogeys, and 1 birdie on a par 5 = 78.  Yesterday, one of my 5 doubles was on that par 5.  The difference between the Blues and the Whites on that hole is 5 yards!!

I know that one of these days I will have to move up to the Whites, but I will stay at the Blues as long as I can still score rounds in the 70's.

A real bad day today. Played a tough - challenging - long - par 72 : 6250 yard beast of a course. The rating of 68 is way too low for this place. Sadly, I didn’t break 100 and shot a 106. No matter the anguish I endured. Still feel I’m only a swing feel - thought or - position from really nailing this game and shooting good golf. Really feel like I’m close this time

Keep it in the short stuff

Since you only list your handicap as Big, how bad is the 106 relative to your handicap?

82, and couldn’t get anything going. Never played this course before, and there are numerous Par 5s that one has to hit iron off the tee (I call that rinky-dink), lots of blind shots. Frustrating. I hit 4 iron off most off three of the par 5s! Silly.

About 8 shots higher. I’ve tried to improve thru many many lessons . On and off the course including course management skills and even a sports psychologist- teacher. It’s just a heck of a hard game. I keep telling myself I’m one great tip or feeling away from playing good fun golf. One day I will get this game. Thirty years in and still have about twenty five years left to be called a true master of my craft

Got outside for the first time over the weekend for a quick 9. VERY inconsistent with my irons, which is normally the better part of my game. Driver was shorter than usual but generally straight, which was great as I was swinging easier in an attempt to find fairways. 5/7 fairways hit. 

A lot of my mishits were fat, which I'm hoping is a symptom of playing on mats all winter that will go away sooner rather than later.

All in all, great day and happy to be getting outside again!
