I wish the groups I played with didn't give putts at all!  For a few years, my buddy and I played putt everything out.  Putting improved so much!  One on one match play, no problem giving putts as seen fit, but medal play?  Putt it out!

I'll give putts for bogeys or worse, and even tap-in pars, but birdies or better have to be earned.

Actually played pretty well, shot 75, ball striking was phenomenal, but putting continues to be a weak spot. Four 3-putts today really turned a great scoring day into a solid scoring day. I’m thinking the Betti might need a time-out for a round or 2 😱! Never thought I’d say that!! Either gonna roll with a Ping B60 or an old White Hot #1 that was good to me for a long time.

Avg age of our groups 73-74 and having a 80 year old forced to putt for a 1’ bogie not going to happen.
There is no money involved, occasionally couple guys may have a side bet then it’s between them.

Same with us buddy and I’m the youngest of the bunch at 69. The majority are in the mid 70’s. In the leather is good with our group except for those with the belly and titty putters.

We do not have any players with the Long putters. Occasionally we’ll get a walk on that will have one. All my putters are 34” no matter style or mfg.

now THAT's funny right there

If no betting involved, yeah, who cares about gimmie putts.  My problem is multiple groups having a money game and side bets with members in different groups and some putts are given wider range than in other groups.  Particularly an "in the leather" (or circle of friendship) that is a sidehill slippery putt.

Played this morning and noticed no Par or Birdie putt given or picked up only Bogie +. Also noticed the Player normally didn’t pick up his ball one of the others in the group kicked it back to him.
Interesting.

Wind blew all day, and rain is starting to come in tonight.  It will be wet tomorrow.

Today my wife and I went out at 1:15 with another couple and played nine holes.  Wind was 15-25mph with some higher gusts.  I played well off the tee, but really sucked around the green.  Shot +6.   Poor chips and a couple of 3 putts.  I never got comfortable standing over the ball.  However, I did have a chip-in birdie on #2.  I was called an a__hole!!  A term of endearment, I'm told.

As good as the chip-in was, my best shot of the day was on the par 3 #4 hole playing 148y to a back pin directly into that wind.  We haven't had winds like that since spring, so I was a little hesitant on which club the use.  I chose a 7i because I thought it would clear the bunker, and I was confident that it wouldn't go off the back.  I hit my version of a "knock-down" shot (think Zach Johnson swing), and it was a laser that stopped pin high right about 8 feet away.  Tricky left to right putt with left to right wind, and I was very happy to 2-putt.

With Nestor blowing thru Tampa Bay last night, it dropped over 3” of rain on the course, causing us to postpone the Fall Blitz until Nov 16 & 17.

73 today 🙂

Driver still excellent- putter very good with 31 putts (best for a long time) and short game was probably 8 out of 10.

The course was soaking- every tee shot and green shot plugged, very heavy underfoot and had to chip out of mud a few times- hate that but we've had all of Oct rainfall in the first 2 weeks so it has nowhere to go.

Overall very pleased with my game. Typical as thats the season over now😡

Tried to play today, but after 3 holes, the hip was twinging too much.  Decided to call it a day and live to play another day.  The course was wet from yesterday and last night's rain with threats of more coming, so it wasn't a bad call to quit.  Came home and iced the hip for a bit.  Also cancelled my game tomorrow.  No sense pushing things.

I should have worn long underwear 😱.  I played Madison Meadows this morning, hoping to get the round in before the weather moved in.  It was 36F when I left the house, 30F on VC Pass, and a balmy 39F in Ennis when I arrived.  Umm, that's still air temp.  Factor in the 6-8 mph wind and it's in the high 20's.  I had called Jason before heading out about play and he said "we're empty, come on over".  He swears the wind wasn't blowing at that time 🤨.  As consolation he offered me a free power cart - complete with side and back curtains 👍.  There wasn't a soul on the course... imagine that.  

I didn't feel like I was playing that great but my scores were good.  On many shots, I found myself holding my head in a position trying to keep my hat on. One thing I tried today is lowering my tee height a bit, on shots into the wind, in attempt to lower my ball height.  It seemed to work pretty well.  I had trouble judging the wind.  On the par 3 #8/#17, it was quartering into me from right to left.  I dropped from a normal 7i to a 5i and aimed at the tree on the right side of the green - which is quite a bit to the right.  It was a hoot watching the wind carry the balls back towards the flag.  On hole #4, I hit a drive of 304 yards!  On hole #5 (opposite direction), I crushed a low trajectory drive that only went 237 yards. Playing in these conditions gives me even more respect for what the pros are able to do.

Basically I froze my butt off.  Were it not for the cart, there's no way I make it thru 9 let alone 18.  The wind was pure hell as it just kept cranking up as I went along. I gave myself both short-ish putts on 18 as it started snowing lightly and, while I was conducting Official Testing (Maxfli Balls), had simply met my limitations.  I played a 2-ball game; one Maxfli Tour and a Tour X.  I'll reveal the winner in my upcoming review thread. (River, our yellow lab assisting with photo 🙂).

Ended up shooting 86 at Los Robles Greens in Thousand Oaks. I tried a number of different swing changes on the front to no avail. Went back to my Mike Bender swing and proceeded to hit fairways and greens. Round was 5 1/2 hours. Ridiculous. The guys I played with did say it was unusually slow.

Ended up shooting 86 at Los Robles Greens in Thousand Oaks. I tried a number of different swing changes on the front to no avail. Went back to my Mike Bender swing and proceeded to hit fairways and greens. Round was 5 1/2 hours. Ridiculous. The guys I played with did say it was unusually slow.

5 1/2 hours isn’t slow it’s horrendous. I don’t know how anyone can maintain their interest when it’s that slow.

I was going to quit after nine, but I had nowhere else to go, and a rain check out here in California wouldn’t do me any good. It was miserable. Nice course, greens were great, but they hadn’t mowed any of the “black” tees so it was like hitting out of the rough on every tee box.

Rained most of the night last night, and my wife and I were going to cancel our 9:46 tee time.  At about 8:30am the rain stopped and the wind was calm, so we decided to play.  Temp was 43º.  We pulled into the parking lot; not many cars.  Got our cart and the pro shop said we should go right now, as a little tournament was going out behind us.  As we headed to the 1st tee without warming up, the wind that was calm decided to start blowing... a little at first but when we got to the 1st green it was blowing pretty good.  My hands were cold.  

Most of the greens had standing water on the low spots.  I parred #1 and had a tap-in birdie on #2, but by #3 the wind was probably blowing about 25-30mph.  I had a birdie putt but 3-putted because of the wind.  The par 3 #4 hole is straight into the wind.  Same pins as yesterday when I hit a 7i into the wind to pin high, but today I hit 6i and was 30 feet short... barely cleared the front bunker.  The par 5 #5 hole straight into the wind required driver, 3w, 2H, PW to get on the green... managed a bogey.  THEN it started to rain again!!  We played #6, a par 5 downwind and I was just in front of the green in two shots; chipped on and 4-putted!!!!!!  🙄  I don't remember ever 4-putting on my course in 4 years.  I then reminded myself that I don't have to play in the rain.  I don't mind the wind, but when it comes with rain... I'm done.  I do feel sorry for the tournament; probably the worst day for golf since the snow melted in March.  Tomorrow is supposed to be only marginally better.  oh well!

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

82

8/14 FiR

9./18 GiR

34 Putts

Played from the middle tees today so I wouldn't make things weird for the rest of the group which is just short of 6300y. 3 double bogeys killed what was a pretty decent round. Hit a great driver off #1 and a bunch of blocks to the right after that. FiR numbers kinda don't tell the story of driver this round because there were a lot of 5i and 3w mixed in. Still playing 13 clubs until I find a suitable club between 5w and 5i but the shorter tees today didn't cause me any issue.
