How'd you play?

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.   

I do not like snakes

That makes 2 of us. We don't see rattlesnakes here - but there is one species in northern Ohio. More commonly we'll see water snakes - they're all over and protected although I'm not sure why since there are so many of them. They're non-poisonous but will bite if provoked.

Was very excited to get out and play last night... then we saw lightning and heard thunder and the called it right as we were on he tee. So we went to grab some wings and a rolling rock instead. Best round of golf.

 

Also saw someone get a hole in one as i was warming up.

Very strange afternoon on the golf course.  For starters, it was 63* in late July after being well above 90* for the past few weeks.  I'm certainly not complaining.  It was a welcomed change.  Just weird!

As for the golf, I gutted every fairway off the tee and hit one green in regulation.  It was as if I had forgotten how to play an iron shot approach.  Nothing out of the center of the clubface.  Absolutely frustrating and infuriating.  I suppose this is why golf is a four letter word!

Seriously?  Five people like the fact that I couldn't find the ball with the clubface?

Thanks a lot guys!  🤣

Solid warm-up before the round.

I warmed up with 3 clubs: my driver, my 6i, and my 54º wedge. Hit 20 shots to get ready plus  swing with the ever  popular Orange Whip®!

I did them in reverse order from listed above. All got me ready for the round.  The 54º was a good club to start with and I felt good about range and loft. Still a bit off in terms of direction, but not so off that I felt worried.

My 6i was the best of the 3 warm-ups.  Solid with nice carry.

Driver was at best good.  Good range, loft was a bit high at times and I tended to have a strong pull.

Round info: 5828  69.1/122 Parr 72

92 for the round, 1 par, no birdies, 14 bogies, 3 double bogies, 12 FIR but only 1 GIR, 3 OB penalties, 5 sand traps. Many drives finished to the right, including all OB. Came close to drowning 4 shots, but the result was a poor lie for the next shot rather than a wet one.

Perfection was not even in the same zip code, but I was quite happy with the round as it represents a -6 from the last time I was there.

For a change of pace, my golf partner and I played a different course than we normally play.  On the front, I shot a decent 40, then made the turn and Dr Jekyl turned up.....had 5 double bogies on the back and ended up with a VERY disappointing round of 87.  No clue what happened (like @sixcat, guess I couldn't find the ball with the clubface) ... started hitting wicked push slices all of a sudden.  Meanwhile, my partner shoots a smooth 78.  Our Wednesday bet is always for a milkshake and I'll be buying tonight!

A 50 that felt like a 100.   9 hole league. 

Worst round of putting I've had in a while.  Two four putts😡. My speed was off all night two of the 4 putt greens I actually had birdie putts!!

Then hit two balls OB with a 7 iron and 9 iron on par 3's.   

But drove the ball well on the other 7 holes.  

Will tee it up again in the morning in the men's18 hole  sr league and hope for a bounceback.

I usually do.  I commented about that to MDGolfHacker s few weeks ago after a bad league night.  It will also help that we will be playing the Sr tees about 5800 as opposed to the white at 6250.

I know.  Just offering a little self-deprecating humor. 

Yesterday afternoon was much better.  I missed only one fairway and it was only by a yard.  I did miss one green in regulation with the only mishit iron of the day.  With the damp conditions, my drive stopped on a downslope in the fairway, leaving the ball a foot below my feet for the approach.  I cold-topped it.  It was a terrible iron shot that came up 64 yards short of the pin. 

But I stuck a 58* wedge 8 inches from the pin for a tap-in par!

That 350 yards makes a big difference when you get older.

Played 9 with the Wednesday group yesterday. After the last 10 days on antibiotics still felt weak. Drove the ball relatively well staying close to the big boys. Irons not bad either, had a couple of decent shots. Putting lousy, greens were nice but slow.
Good thing I only did the 9, the groups got deluged with very heavy rains just after I left.

12 putts!!! (15 if you count 3 from off the greens, but Arccos counts those as chips so whatever)

A bit of an anomaly putting-wise, but tied my personal best for 9 holes today. Had a clean card until #7 where a bogey brought me back to even. Drained a 20' putt from the fringe to finish with a birdie. Felt like I was just seeing the line and making everything center cup, very nice feeling!

79 today. Iron play is still a positive. So close to playing well, it’s just a clank here or there, not just one specific problem.

Welp, played a quick 9 from varied tees at my place today after work. Finished with 3 birdies in a row for a 2 under 35 kinda...

When we play late in the day, we just peg it up from whatever tee we happen to be near. Today that was mostly blacks, with a few reds and a white mixed in. Fun round.
