How'd you play?

[yungkory]

41 (par 37)

4/7 fir

5/9 gir

17 putts

I actually played pretty well today for the first time in what feels like forever. Funny enough I lost a stroke laying up when I cooked it too far left playing off of a lie where the ball was almost waist level. Lost another trying to flight one low that I just launched and hit a tree that couldn't have been more than a ball's width. That's golf!

Guys and Dolls scramble (seniors and ladies).  We didn't win, but I got KP with a perfectly executed 8 iron from 137 yds using a Snell MTB Red for this shot....

Awesome!!,

Shot a tidy little 73 today, with an eagle on a par 5. Solid drive and a smoked 4 wood got me to the dance, and a double turn 60 footer putt. 

Best part was a PB from one of my regular compadres at 71. You just couldn’t wipe the smile off his face, his old best was a 75, same track...

70

7/14 fir

11/18 gir

27 putts 

What a roller coaster round, 2 eagles 3 birdies, 8 pars and 5 bogeys. First time I have ever made 2 eagles in a round and they came on back to back holes. Par 4 5th was pin high about 10 yards off green. Chipped it in. Par 5 6th, driver, 5 iron to about 25 feet but just off green. Chipped that one in too. Had another eagle putt on 10 from 36 feet. Couldn’t get that one to drop. Obviously I should’ve missed the green.

I cracked it!!  Shot an 88 today at Da Club...with 42 putts. Hit some very good, some good and some bad but I was just humming along playing my game.

The driver is coming along. I changed the setting to upright and it seems, at this stage, to be what I needed. Longest drive was 257 and shortest (off the heel) was 193. All in all, I'm happy.

Felt great to play decent. Was able to find a swing that would let me get around the course and minimize the big miss.  Shot 39/39 on par 72.

A tale of two nines again. Had 4 birdies and 2 bad bogey's today on the front for a 34. Drove a par 4 and left the putt just right of the hole. Aerated greens were bumpy. 5/9 greens.

Then the back nine was just poor mental mistake after poor mental mistake. Shot 40 with no birdies and that was a miracle. I could have used Speith's caddie to slap me around! 4/9 greens.

74 for the day. Hope tomorrow is a better story.

Great job!!  Keep it up.

However, if I ever had 42 putts, I'd slit my wrists!!!  I had one 3-putt today, and I was really pi$$ed!!

It was a slow, 92º sunny day today.  Weekend at the muni.  My wife and I had a guy that usually plays in the Men's gangsome join us at the last minute.  He just got back from Bellingham, WA and couldn't get in any other group.  

I was -1 through the first 6 holes, but bogeyed holes 7, 8, and 9 for a front nine +2.  I started the back nine with bogeys on 10, 11, and 12. However, I managed to par the rest of the back nine for +3... round of 77, which is my lowest round this year.  

It could have been a lot better, but also could have been a lot worse; I made several 6-8 foot par saving putts, but missed several putts of the same length for birdies.  I hit 46% fairways, 50% of the greens, and had 31 putts.  Highlight was on the par 5 #18; in the front greenside bunker that has a 5 foot high lip, flew my sand shot to a back pin about 40 feet away to 6 feet and made the par putt.  Did I say I'm liking my new Callaway 60º PM wedge??

Yeah, my approaches left me quite a few long putts and I missed a few knee knockers.

- 47 (+11)

- 1/8 FIR

- 3/9 GIR

- 18 Putts

Hacked my way around the back nine this morning. Seems I forgot how to play for two holes. I was +3 through six holes (awesome start on the back for me), but a quadruple bogey followed by a triple bogey back-to-back will really kill a score in a hurry.

We got MORE rain. The course was as wet as it has been all season. Really tough conditions to play in. **Sigh**

Really struggled translating my success from the range on Friday to the course. Mental, I'm sure. I did hit a couple quality irons shots, and I'll try to build on that.

Putting was as good as it's going to get. Only one bad putt all day, a really poor lag, from 55 feet that caused my only three putt.

Driver was terrible. My opening drive was OK, but short, and the rest were awful. Not the club, definitely me.

You're going to have to give me strokes in Sept. if you keep this up !!!!   Good job.

Gracias amigo. Felt good to low again and thankfully short game and putting were descent. Swing changes suck and it’s a process.

Shot a 44/39 today with my father. Finished bogie, bogie, bogie on the back nine for the 3 over 39. I had my 9-hole par in sight and crapped it down my leg. A bad shot on each hole cost me.

Played the annual Father Son today with my 13 year old son. We were in the 9 hole division for the last year and he shot 3 over on the front and I shot -2 for a combined 1 over for nine holes. Overall hit it well and putted well for a change. As a plus I also had my two daughters and my wife out on the course with us for some added fun.

Just a miserable day.  Warmup consisted of shanking 3/4 of a small bucket with pretty much every club; the other quarter was pull hooks.   The pull hooks were what I took to the course.    The only bright aspect of my game was my putting.   Pretty much lost focus for the round....final tally 96

Sunday was 18 holes.  Warm-up was solid, nice work on the range after physical warm-ups and the Whip.  

Played a familiar course, Wigwam in AZ.  Weather was coolest it has been in almost two weeks. 

5578 from forward tees, 73.20/128, no significant wind

Total: 94 with 39 Putts (one of my poorest this year, left way too many longer putts)

10 penalty assessments, 4 OB, 2 went for a swim.  OB shots finished left and 3 of 4 were barely OB, but they were OB. Playing partner I was assigned seemed somewhat shocked I counted all the penalties and I am sure he used his foot wedge a few times! I tended to ignore him.

 6 FIR and 0 GIR. 5 Pars, 6 Bogies, 5 DB and 2 TB. So, about an average round. Handicap is now 17.2.  

I am consistently in the mid 90's, some times higher, some lower.  Seem to have settled into a base for most rounds.  Tend to play from forward tees with 5600-5900 lengths.  After all the rounds now, I write down specific swing or round planning items to work on during the week.  

If weather cools down the week, will try to get out twice on a course.

Played yesterday at Marion athletic club. Great course but the land is flat and nothing to break up the wind. The wind is always blowing and most of the time it's a 2 club wind. Front nine goes into the teeth of a southern wind. Back 9 is a little more shielded with trees and apartments
Front I posted a 48. Back side I rebounded with a 41.
Two of the holes were short par 4's dead into the wind with 200 yd force carry over water. Bogey both but cleared the water with 20 yds to spare ️
Next week is our league open championship. Hopefully I can muster some magic and help the team win the trophy

So after mens league  played twice this week. Played 18 the day after. Started red hot with double, par, birdie, par. The double was no warm up so I was ok with it. Problem was my legs went dead around 7-8. After that I couldn't swing and shot 42/50.

The day after I went for a lesson and got a complete overhaul. My swing was all hands and timing and when those two weren't in perfect unison, yikes.

The round after was a complete disaster with a half dozen lost balls to the right, a ton of garbage shots that went nowhere and a couple 3 putts. I figured the round after would be bad, but that was some 20 shots or so worse. The range session after was productive and I actually was hitting hte ball well. Wasn't as good today, but felt some confidence return. Next round tomorrow should be interesting.

Thanks!!  But not after today!!  I was +10 after 15 holes when we quit.  Well, our cart quit!!  The club's carts were due for lease return in April, but it's been delayed for some reason.  We waited in the middle of #16 for 30 minutes before a kid showed up with another cart, but by then I was done anyway.  Hot, tired, and frustrated with slow play on Father's Day.

New hybrids, irons and putter in the bag this week. I took them from the box to the course and shot a 90, 81 and 83 on the Barefoot Fazio, Love and Norman courses in Myrtle Beach. I'm really happy with the way my game is trending now. These clubs, and a new putter that a rep told me would be perfect for me have given me hope I'm coming out of a recent funk.

Golf is a frustrating game for me. A lot of players at my level are streaky, but I'm exceedingly so. Hopefully the "new club magic" lasts for a while...
