So, I finally got out  after 12 straight days of 12-15 hour shifts.  I played with a member in an Alternate Shot event, and put that poor guy in some spots that he didn't know existed on the course.  (we still won the thing by one.)

Then we went out for a 6 hole feature. 11 players in one group. We played a 3 team scramble. ended up going extra holes. Finished Birdie/Eagle in extras for the W.

 

All in all, it was a good day on the course.

Struggled with the flat stick on slower greens today -- 34 putts.  Playing the back tees and couldn't reach most of the greens in regulation (6/18) and my up and down percentage wasn't up to par (not getting close enough to one putt too many times).  Walked off with a disappointing 86.  The group I played with was such that I was hitting from the gold tees, 2 others from the forward blue tees, and the other far forward white tees (this group I play with sets what tee you play by age -- under 70 plays men's tees, 70+ plays senior tees, and 80+ plays forward tees).  Not fun being a shorter hitter and having to play the back tees.  

Was this at RVCC, or somewhere else??

Better Ball tourney on Saturday. Didn't go well. Shot 89 on my own ball, partner scored even worse (considerably). Didn't hit enough greens or get close enough to the hole when chipping/pitching up. Putting was good though - no 3-putts all day. Ball striking was decent. My biggest issue was just getting yardages right with the wind blowing a constant 15+ MPH all day. Hole of the day was the most difficult on the course, #11. It's a 456-yard downhill par 4 and the pin was in the back on a relatively small sliver of green and tucked behind a bunker. I piped driver down the left side where there is a speed slot and a good angle into the green. With 163 left in, I pulled 7-Iron and flushed it, ball mark was within 3' to the right of the flag - ball stopped about 10' past the flag. Missed the right-to-left putt for bird, but made an easy par which is much more than I can usually say about that hole.

75 (par 73)

7/14 fir

13/18 gir

33 putts

Hit the ball well, still can't make a putt. 2 birdies and both were 2 putts. Going on vacation without my clubs for 9 days so hopefully when I come back I remember how to make a putt.

Played Saturday with my son at Whirlpool GC in Canada. Overall it was a fun course and had a beastly collection of par 3’s from the tips with four of the five playing 225 yards or longer. It was hot and I was at the tail end of an 8 day road trip with my wife and three kids so as you can imagine I was a bit tired by the time I got out to play. Had a blast watching my son hit the ball now that he is back to playing golf a bit more. No idea what I ended up shooting but my son said around 74.

Finally got back out after storms ruined the chance for a round Sunday morning. Usual nine holes before work.

- 40 (+4)

- 4/7 FIR 

- 5/9 GIR (1 birdie)

- 17 Putts (8 2-putts, 1 1-putt)

Considering my range session yesterday was absolute trash, I'm ecstatic about my round. Hit a bunch of good iron shots, some great approach shots, putting was above average for me and my driver didn't ruin the round (though I only had two good drives out of six opportunities). 

Tested out the MTB-X for the first time and was very impressed. I'll add my thoughts in the review thread.

Likewise.  I've only played them two rounds, but thus far I'd opt for them over ProV1x (the ball I most love to find 😄).

Not here!  Had two fires west of town last week; one about 100 miles away and the Cold Creek fire about 30 miles away that burned 42,000 acres up the face of Rattlesnake Mountain.

Yes, there are rattlesnakes.  It's a desert here not unlike Las Vegas.  We get 7 inches of rain a year; 4.8 inches so far this year which is below normal.

Rattlesnake Mountain is the highest mountain in the U.S. without a natural tree on it...  3600 feet.  Winds have been recorded on the top at more than 150 mph. The western slope  has private farms and orchards; the eastern slope shown in the photo taken from the Horn Rapids Golf Course is under federal government control with restricted access.  The shadowed area is where this recent fire burned.  We have had fires on that land that burned 600 sq.mi.

My company operated a telescope observatory and a weather station at the top.  There is a road to the top, but if the wind is in excess of 40 mph, nobody goes up or down; the road is too steep.  Yes, people have had to stay there for several days.

Sorry to hear that....We sit in a valley and the smoke from fires surrounding us from around Oregon and California will often sit here for weeks on end until fire season is over.  Last year was particularly bad.  And to keep it on topic -- it affected golf play 🙂

I just got back from our annual Pinehurst trip.  This year we played Whispering Pines, Pine Needles, Mid South and Talamore.  I was also able to play Royal New Kent on the way down.  I hit the ball pretty well, but on the second and round I lost all short game.  My confidence went way down and I just did not want to be anywhere inside of 60 yards.  I fixed the problem following the round and chipped great for the rest of the trip.  Pine Needles was great!  They kept it in the same conditions as when the Sr LPGA was there a few weeks ago.  Greens rolled fast!  It was also my first time playing Royal New Kent (Strantz course).  I have played Tobacco Road and Tot Hill Farms (both Strantz courses too) and saw a lot of similarities between them and Royal New Kent.  I liked the layout of Royal New Kent and with all the Strantz courses, I would like to play it again now that I know where to hit the ball.  It was a HOT week of golf with the heat index right around 115 every day.  I was planning on playing Pinehurst 4 but the heat kept us from playing two rounds a day so maybe next year.  Did I mention that I didn't want to pay $400 to do it either.  Ouch!!!  Hit 'em straight!!!

Playing amongst rattlesnakes adds excitement.  We take snake charmers (long iron) into the brush when looking for balls in Yuma. Local legend has it that a 6 footer lives in the small palm tree forest at the base of the elevated green, par 5, #14.  I suspect it's just a local who has created a private haven for collecting balls 😂.

Playing amongst rattlesnakes adds excitement.  We take snake charmers (long iron) into the brush when looking for balls in Yuma.

I used to love the copperheads and occasional rattlesnake in New England. Mostly copperheads.
6’ !!!, I’d leave my ball there also.

When I lived in southeastern Colorado, we played on a course that had a ditch running the entire length along the right side of #9.  It was overgrown with plant growth and was a well known spot to find plenty of rattlesnakes.  Needless to say, players did not attempt to retrieve their ball from said ditch.

This game...

shot an 80 today, but once again, completely different from my last game. Irons were working today due to a massive swing change, that is unpercievable to the human eye of another. And tomorrow will probably be different too.**sigh**

😱!!  I've spent many years fishing the central WA area and it is indeed windy... but that is hurricane stuff.

Yep!!  That's why there are no trees up there.

Saw this sign on my first golf trip to AZ...

Played 9 holes tonight with my middle son - weather was beautiful - light breeze and low 80's. I was worn out because I wasn't planning on playing so I had hit 2 buckets of balls and then my son called and wanted to play.  I hit the ball really solid on the range but I had a bit of draw in my irons when I played - largely due to being tired. Such a beautiful night and a welcome relief from the heat.
