How'd you play?

Recommended Posts

2nd qualifying round club champs today.

Didnt play well...........but.......you know that way where you feel your swing is close to being decent and repeatable? Some pulls, some chunks, lots of chips coming up way short, some decent drives.

Missed the green on every single par 3 🙄 (5 of 'em) chipped to 10 ish feet and sunk the putt. Only 29 putts today, a PB for the last 2 years.

so a 77 but more importantly a glimpse into exactly what I'm doing wrong and what to do right. Just need to practice, and trust, exactly that correct swing.

Played a round of "hooky" golf with fellow Spy @fixyurdivot who had come down this way over at Banbury Golf Club Thursday. We both had a great time together and it was awesome to play a round with such a fine gentleman. Darn guy wouldn't let me buy a beer all day..!

Anyhow, we played the front as normal, but switched up to do a round for the 2019 Hard Rock Challenge on the back (details here)

Overall though I went 46/50 on a pretty darn hard course with lots of water (whites are 67.3/120 @ 5,733-yds). I had 3 pars on the front (none on the back with the brick) and only a few "others" on the card all day. My biggest thing was putting...poor putting...I mean really BAD putting..! There are 5 par-3's on this track and I hit 3 of them in regulation-all with solid looks at birdie. ALL 3 holes I 3-putted...yes I said it and I own it. I just SUCKED!!! Even on "scoring" holes like the par-5 496-yd 12'th where I was just within 20' of the front pin just on the apron after 3, I walked off with a stupid 6. Something's gotta give here because driving is coming along nicely, my former 175-185-yd gap is confidently covered and I am hitting irons and wedges pretty OK of late-mostly...

Shot an 42/42 for an 84. I had 34 putts today but they recently punched the greens so I think that realistically probably cost me 3-4 strokes. My 5w and wedges saved me today. The driver was extremely inconsistent and I couldn’t hit my irons to save my life. Good thing I got some new Prowler VT’s coming to test!

I am so close to breaking 80 already this year I can taste it. I shooting for at least 5 rounds in the 70’s and par for 9 holes this year so I am well on my way!

 

... You will get there. Btw, I hit the Prowler VT's at the PGA Show and they are very nice. If I were not playing the P790's at the time I would have been tempted to order some. Good luck!

That is good to know. I have been searching for info and reviews on these but there isn’t a lot out there.

Back on topic though, I have found that my navigating of the course has really changed with the cut grey ball. I have to allow for a lot of roll out now that it is finally drying out. Hopefully the Z star XV’s I got coming will give me back my short game spin.

Took 9 1/2 holes to figure out which end of the club to hold. Only hit 2 greens on front 9. Short game and putting saved what could have been an ugly score. Crazy a$$ game we play.

Played at Westwood Park Golf Course in Norman, OK today with my son - just a beautiful day. I had a really great warm up and I've been playing really well as of late but man I just couldn't hit my driver today for the first 13 holes or so. Fortunately it is not a long course at all so I could get around with 3 wood or 2 Crossover. It was weird today I hit a lot of marginal iron shots today that turned out better than I deserved and I thought "I sure am glad I have the irons I do" - I need the forgiveness!

Best round for me to date...41/44 for an 85 with 34 putts. Yes, I actually sunk some flippin' putts today! A 12-footer for bird, 2 others from 20 & 22' for pars and another 12-footer for a par also. In fact pars were the order of the day...8 of them with four-in-a-row to finish the front 9! Driver again was pretty good, but for me to score like this, pretty much everything has to go right. First hole though was a blow-up 8 +4, but I just put it behind me and enjoyed the evening. Happy boy!😀

I did everything imaginable wrong to start that one...just awful. Bogied the next hole (par-3) with a 2-putt after coming up a bit short off the tee, pared #3 then was in the stinking water again off the tee on #4 which is another par-3. Hit from the drop zone and 2-putted for a 5. Then when birdie, par, par, par, par. I was on 🔥. Should-a had a bird on 9 after driving the green in 2, but my 3-putt demon said "NOT!" It was certainly fun for sure, especially since I usually fold after bad holes.

Thanks!!! The other goofy thing was I went out stone dead cold. No warm-up, no nuthin'. Just tee-it-up and go...probably explains the 8 on #1...😬...er, no it doesn't I just flogged that one to death...Probably changed some weather patterns with my ugly windmill effect..!

73

7/14 fir

9/18 gir

27 putts

Took 9 1/2 holes to figure out which end of the club to hold. Only hit 2 greens on front 9. Short game and putting saved what could have been an ugly score. Crazy a$$ game we play. 

Still, in all a great round my Man! 73 is nothing to sneeze at!

Played at Westwood Park Golf Course in Norman, OK today with my son - just a beautiful day. I had a really great warm up and I've been playing really well as of late but man I just couldn't hit my driver today for the first 13 holes or so. Fortunately it is not a long course at all so I could get around with 3 wood or 2 Crossover. It was weird today I hit a lot of marginal iron shots today that turned out better than I deserved and I thought "I sure am glad I have the irons I do" - I need the forgiveness! 

FIR: 6/12

GIR: 13/18

Putts: 28

67 (3 under)

Sometimes I find one just has to can the driver into the penalty box and swallow some pride. A very hard thing for me to learn especially when my dumb ego gets in the way...🙄 Glad you fellas had a great day out there together. Don't worry. Driver will be back I am most assured-Cheers!

Just couldn't get off the tee at all, which led to a lot of positional shots. I'm going to book a driver lesson because it's getting stupid.

...LOL, so true. We have all been there done that. And a lesson is always a good idea.

... But those pictures remind of why I stopped using video for students that hit the ball pretty well but just needed some fine tuning, myself included. It is so tempting to take an Arnie "swing your swing" that doesn't look like you think it does and agonize over positions or how it looks overall, only to lose the things that work well trying to change it. Don't get me wrong, video is very valuable and many people can learn a lot from it. But the flip side are those that want their swing to be the very best they can be and chase aesthetics, not results. After all the camera hates Furyk, JB Holmes, Kuchar and Matsuyama but the scorecard doesn't care.

Thanks mate. I'm a results guy so I really don't care what my swing looks like. It seems to me that I'm just leaving the driver face open but a lesson will confirm my suspicions or point me in another direction.

Grip maybe? Man if I relapse even a little, to a weaker grip without knowing it, I'll slice across the ball like gangbusters. It always seems that so long as I concentrate on building that strong grip during my pre-shot routine, better results happen more often than not. If I don't, then I turn instantly into the latest Batman Villain..: "The Swiper" (insert evil laugh here)

First round with the new 765s in the bag and I really like the clubs.  Hit a couple of poor shots but generally contact was solid and distance was consistent.   Felt like I hit them better than the Wilson C300s that have been in my bag.    

43/38-81 with 8 fairways, 8 greens, and 29 putts.  Blowup on the front were an OB and just terrible chipping that resulted in a triple and 2 doubles.   Pitch shots were good other than some distance control issues,  but when I had to chip they were generally chunked.  I feel like I could really play some great golf if I could overcome these final few issues with my short game.

That's where a 5 hybrid would come in handy.   😉   Bounce is ya friend in those soft wet conditions.....

43/44 = 87 (+15) back on my home course this morning. Played most of the round in a light drizzle.

If I could putt, this would have been the best round of my life. Had 39 (!!!) putts. Driver was locked in today, mid irons were good, short game was better than Thursday. Just putting, man. Killing me.
