Not bad considering I’ve only played a couple of times. 83 with 4 doubles. Lipped out an eagle putt on #11. Only had 27 putts, I average 34 so I gotta be happy about that. I’ve got to learn not to follow a bad shot with another bad shot.

... I did an "accidental experiment" today. I changed shafts in my driver last night and forgot to put it back in the bag, something I discovered when I removed my clubs from the trunk. Doah! I have complete confidence in my F9 and the only times I don't use it is when a fairway runs out or I need to thread a tee shot between bunkers, and then I use my UDi 2 iron. So any hole I play driver on, I moved up a tee box and hit 3 wood. never hit 3 wood off the tee (other than one hole at home where I need a draw around a tree) and it took me a few holes to gain some confidence. I actually topped one off the 2nd hole, that thankfully rolled to 180 in the desert so it didn't hurt me. But moving up to the gold tees I reached every par 5 in two, or at least pin high. 492, 444, 466 and 490. The F9 is long off the the tee and obviously long from the fairway. Just such a great sound/feel with a perfect mid high trajectory and very accurate. I produced a little 3-5yd draw that I can see me using in the future. Sometime experiments can be very instructive and valuable.

A lot cooler today than all of this last week.  48º and a light drizzle when my wife and I teed off, but by hole #7 the rain quit and the wind was blowing 25 mph, changing directions on every hole it seemed.  We haven't played since last Sunday, and I haven't been practicing all week.  Yard work!!  And I'm sore!!

Summary:  One of the worst days of golf I have had in years.  I did not hit any shot longer than 80 yards that I would have called a decent shot, let alone a good shot.  It was a struggle all day.  Fortunately for me, my short game was pretty good.  I shot 86, no birdies; a lot of bogeys but only one double bogey.

I've shot worse scores, but I always remember that I had a good hole or two or several good shots. Except for chips and putts, I had zero good shots today.  As bad as I played, I really felt sorry for my wife.  She usually shoots in the mid to high 80's, sometimes low 90's.  Today she shot 111 because she missed a 6 foot birdie putt on the 1st hole, otherwise it would have been 110. lol.  Her game today was just the opposite of mine.  Off the tee and from the fairway, she hit a lot of good shots.  She lost all of her shots around the green.  Tomorrow we play early and again a light drizzle is the forecast, but no wind!!

We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.”

After a week off, I drove the ball well, but could not bring home the bacon. 40/52:92......with one birdie.

First full loop of the year is in the books. I’ve been helping my work buddy with his game all week and we decided to sign up for a Saturday afternoon beating at Heritage Todd Creek Golf Club. He’s a 6 rounds a year (why we talking bout practice?) kind of golfer but was a D1 soccer star and has loads of athleticism. Todd Creek has some of the most challenging greens complexes (my opinion) in the Denver metro and with that in mind we decided the blue tees (6589/72; 70.6/123) would be an appropriate test for Pat. He put on a tee ball clinic and made a 10 footer on 18 to break 100 (99) for the first time. I really enjoyed watching him play the round of his life on a very tough track.

My stats: *12/14 fairways, 14/18 greens, *29 putts, 5 birdies against 3 bogeys (-2)

*Ping OG400 LST update - still chalk line straight after the Winter lay-off

This has been a horrible weekend.  After yesterday's unlikely 86 with not a good shot to be found, today was just the opposite.  I hit pretty good shots tee to green considering the wind played havoc with shots most of the day.  I apparently left my short game home.  Shot 91.  If I had yesterday's short game, my score would have been low 80's.

On a positive side my wife shot 14 shots better today than yesterday, but she was still 10 shots above her "normal" round.  I'm ready for warmer weather.

Today was a major letdown after last week's 85. Went 50/46 to finish with a +24 96 on what is probably going to become my home course. Walked all 18 holes in beautiful spring weather.

Positive outcomes from today's round:

  • Epic Flash feels fantastic.
  • Getting a little more forward bend at address really helped with my takeaway. As a result my ballstriking was better today, the results were "Eh," however.
  • Hit more fairways than before.

Not-so-positives:

  • Only mustered two pars and no GIRs (yikes!).
  • Hit a ton of trees. 
  • Chipping wasn't great. 
  • Putting was terrible. Lots of three putts.

This course was purchased by a new owner about three years ago. He has made a lot of improvements, but it is still in dire need of help. Several tee boxes were dirt, moles ravaged others and everything needed a good roll to smooth it out. Didn't have many good lies today. Still early in the season (they just opened) and greens were in good shape, albeit slow.

Back to the range for more practice!

Today was the opposite of yesterday’s 40/52......today it was 52/41....@ a different course, Plantation Palms. Just could not get anything going until going until the back nine. 9/14 FIR’s with 237 the longest drive. Still gaming my F8’s and putting with my Bellum-Winsmore.

Overall happy with my round today.   Shot 81,  hit 12 fairways and 12 greens and my pitching and chipping was pretty good.   Problem was the 3 balls that ended up in the water and the 3 three putts.

The snow stopped us from opening the year last weekend.  But we have begun this weekend!  Gorgeous day, about 65° today. I’m not sure if I should be happy I hit 15 GIR or missed 15 birdie putts 😕 

It’s a promising start, though.

Played another 27 bringing by yearly total up to nearly ten in three weeks. Played 36 since the last update and was hoping for better and nearly got there before melting down. 

First round:  46/50 for a 96. Could not stop the bleeding on the back with pars and a lot of doubles and extras. Driver was fine by irons were hit well just pushed and pulled and still couldn't chip.

On Friday I get out and had the course to myself for the most part. Ended up shooting 91 but had a 5! putt 17th and and 3 putt 18th. The 17 was frustrating because I hit a decent iron that went up the green and ended up on the back fringe. The first putt I tapped to get rolling and stopped halfway. I did the same with the second putt but it died halfway again despite putting the same speed. The third putt which was 7-8 foot ran 15 foot by the hole. Two putted from there to bring it to a 7. I managed 7 fairways and 8 greens but could only put down a 90. (part of the reason is the green are aerated and still very bumpy from the winter.

Next day had a ton of work but managed to sneak in 9 before my parents rolled into town. Ended up with a 48 from the blues vs the whites.  Didn't strike the ball nearly as well but scrambled a lot better but still couldn't putt including a 4 and 3 putt in 9 holes. Ill start worrying about the putter soon because so far it's been trash.

I choked and then I choked again. One of the best ball striking rounds I have ever had. Standing on 15 tee and was -5. Problem was that I didn't realize I was that deep. Saw it on Arccos as I was entering putts, proceeded to bogey 3 of last 4 holes. 😥

... Awesome! Great round. Out of your comfort zone can be pretty catastrophic. Maybe 20 years ago when I was around a 10, I went out for a practice round with a friend. Birdied the first hole with 3 really good shots. Hit 2 good shots on the next par 5 but then pitched in for an eagle, but it really was a lucky shot for my skill level and I certainly wasn't thinking of holing it. Hit 3 really good shots on the next hole for a 2 footer but I was shaking when I made it. Next hole stuffed an iron on a par 3 to about 10 inches and my hands were shaking so badly I almost missed it. -5 after 4 holes and standing on the next tee that was another a par 5, I was so radically out of my comfort zone I topped a drive off the toe so far I almost missed the ball completely and it dribbled into a creek. Topped the next shot into the creek again. After several average shots I carded a 10 and all -5 strokes were gone in one hole. At least I was calm again and proceeded to play normally for the rest of the 9.

... Awesome! Great round. Out of your comfort zone can be pretty catastrophic. Maybe 20 years ago when I was around a 10, I went out for a practice round with a friend. Birdied the first hole with 3 really good shots. Hit 2 good shots on the next par 5 but then pitched in for an eagle, but it really was a lucky shot for my skill level and I certainly wasn't thinking of holing it. Hit 3 really good shots on the next hole for a 2 footer but I was shaking when I made it. Next hole stuffed an iron on a par 3 to about 10 inches and my hands were shaking so badly I almost missed it. -5 after 4 holes and standing on the next tee that was another a par 5, I was so radically out of my comfort zone I topped a drive off the toe so far I almost missed the ball completely and it dribbled into a creek. Topped the next shot into the creek again. After several average shots I carded a 10 and all -5 strokes were gone in one hole. At least I was calm again and proceeded to play normally for the rest of the 9. 

 

First time it has ever happened to me. The mind is a crazy thing. It wasn't so much the score as much as I have never had a clean card. 4 holes left and 2 of them were short par 5's so knew a clean card was very possible. But mind took over and made 3 bad swings. No matter what the game always humbles you.

... First time. Amen. I remember my very first audition for a Major Motion Picture. I was meeting Ron Howard and I was just so nervous. He asked me about a play I was in and then he got a phone call and excused himself, left the room for a few minutes and that made it even worse as I hadn't read for my audition yet. He came back, looked at my resume and said "Thanks so much Sam, that was a great audition. I will ket you in mind". LOL, I was so nervous I just said thanks and left without even auditioning. It gets easier every time you are there.

Got in 36 at my home course this weekend, but it's not golf yet here in Ohio, too much mud. Just shaking off the rust and focusing on good habits and positive mental state. I did have a birdie each day though, so something positive to build on

I choked and then I choked again. One of the best ball striking rounds I have ever had. Standing on 15 tee and was -5. Problem was that I didn't realize I was that deep. Saw it on Arccos as I was entering putts, proceeded to bogey 3 of last 4 holes. 😥

71

33 38

9/14 FW

12/18 GIR.

29 putts.

I laughed out loud this morning at this, only because I'm transferring that feeling to my 18th hole on Sunday. Of course, I was standing on 18 tee +4 for the nine already, and I remember thinking, "OK, a five gets me home with a 45 on the back." I proceeded to hit my drive behind a tree, topped a 5 iron while trying to get out from behind it and then fatted an 8 iron. Ended up with a double bogey six and 46 for the nine.
