Beenin Oregon 53 years  and drove through Marcola for the first time in September. Drove fom 126 to Brownsville basically on some back road. Loved that Marcola area. Drove the seasonal hwy 242 from hwy 126 to Sisters the other day and was in awe. How had I never been that? Super cool area!

My parents lived at and managed the Shotgun Creek Recreation Area for about 15 years...

My son and I played in our club's Turkey Scramble today. This has been a tradition for us for the past 6 or 7 years. We missed it last year because his wedding, so it was great to get back to this annual event.

We came in the top third of the pack so not stellar performance, but I did get a prize for 'closest to the pin' on our par 3 - 145 yd water hole.

Only excuse I can offer for today's round was recently punched/sanded fairways and that's not even a good enough excuse.  The weather in southern Oregon was gorgeous, light wind with a sunny day in the mid to upper 70's.  Unfortunately, my game wasn't up to it today.  Started off with a double, then another double and was 6 over after 4 holes!  Oh my!. Managed to end the front nine at a 7 over 43.  Hoping to turn things around on the back, but it never really materialized.  Shot an 85 for the day.  Irons weren't crisp.  Putts were "almost".  A lot of good putts that just didn't fall for one reason or another, including lip-outs.  Oh well.  It was a gorgeous day!

Your very windy conditions arrived two hours after we got home from Bend.  We headed to the course; there was just a little breeze, not bad.  Pretty windy on the first tee, then it hit.  By the par 3 4th hole playing 140y straight into a 25-30mph wind with higher gusts, dirt was blowing in off the Horse Heaven Hills into town.  73º though.  One guy we were playing with quit after hitting a towering shot that climbed up into the wind and dropped like a rock... into the bunker.  I flighted a 6i down low to the middle of the green.  The ball would move on the green when putting!!  We managed to make it around for 9 holes then quit.  Didn't even keep score. Good exercise after a 4 hour drive.

I enjoyed the wind play and treated it like practice for Bandon one of these days. Flighted some down and let the wind take others. Had one hole at 131 to back stick dead in the wind. Flighted 8i down and just caught the front.  Normally an 8i is 155

Good job getting out after a long drive.

New course, one of the weirdest rounds of the year for me.

6% FIR, 0% GIR, 31 putts for a 93

Literally only hit 1 fairway and not a single GIR. Short and easy course, so it's kinda embarrassing that GIR and FIR were so low, but my short game saved my butt! Little worried this is going to be the last round of the season, but if it is I'll just have to remember the short game and try to forget everything else😂

Probably the highest score I could’ve shot today. Hit the driver incredible, hit irons solid and putted like a blind man. Just couldn’t get anything to fall. Perfect 82* fall day which is always nice.

First round of Club Championship, really tough day. Wind was crazy, 30-35 mph with gusts even stronger. Played solidly on the front, turned 5 over. Back 9 was a different story. Racked up a series of doubles and limped in with a 49. The wind ended up frying my brain, struck the ball well but it really was guess work. 

Currently in 35th, the leader shot 5 over playing off plus 3.

-2 through four holes, which included birdies on #1 & #3, were the highlights of my round today. Both birdies won me skins in our dogfight and I tied for 3rd overall today. First time in forever I’ve broken 80 on my home track.

8/13 FiR (the front is par 37)

7/18 GiR

31 putts

I had 2 really bad holes due to errant drives. Lost a ball off the first tee when I cooked it left into the trees. Found 3 other balls but not my own amongst the leaves. Iron game is slowly making it's way back, my chipping is much improved, and my putting is still meh. Still struggling with driver, the honeymoon phase is over I guess?

Shot a 42 on the front 9 of Windmill and pulled the pin after #11. I ran into the back half of a junior tournament and there was no way I could play through. Sadly, unless there's some sort of miracle, that was probably my last time on the course for the year.

This game is something. Last 2 rounds hit the driver just awesome. Yesterday I couldn't hit it to save my life, probably worst I've hit it all year. Need to figure it out fast as Club Championship starts Saturday.

Sunday evening 9 at Navy Marine yesterday.

43, 22% GIR, 43% FIR and 14 putts. I started off with a birdie, but was spraying it off the tee after that so I was scrambling just about every hole. My putting has been solid though so I’m happy about that!

Forgot to mention, we had a walk on join our group this morning as we were short a player.
Guy was OK, played good pace and was personable which is all I really care about. Anyway he was a walking, talking Cleveland fan. Irons were Launchers and he hit them well.

... Been struggling a little on some monsoon soaked courses in SC and Orlando. Played Eagle Point in Bluffton and at 6400 yds with only 3 par 5's, it was effectively 6550 yds, there was zero roll on every tee shot and I carded a 77 that felt like an 87. I moved up to the whites at 6036 the next round and still drives were plugging and only improved 2 strokes to a 75. Sister course Crescent Point was not as bad but still wet and CPO so some roll, but 20 mph winds on a course I didn't know caused us to abandon our scorecards and just enjoy the day. 

... Played Orange Lake Legends in Orlando and the greens are covered with an invasive grass that looks like crab grass so making putts was almost impossible and shot another 75 with one lone birdie. Finally got to play a course with at least some run off the tee at Orange County Panther Lakes today and I felt like a man that just got released from a prison term for a crime I didn't commit. Ended up with 2 bogies and 5 birdies. But to make sure I wasn't too comfortable I am guessing, they turned the sprinklers on for 3 holes in a row while we were playing them LOL and it was cart path only so we had to dodge the water between sprinkler rotations. Greens rolled nice though and a 69 felt really good as I was starting to get a little discouraged with the playing conditions. 

...  I don't know how you Fla guys play in this weather. 94* and humidity at 100% with the overnight rains and then watering the over seeded fairways. I can't believe I used to practice football in this weather when I was young. I played walking in 105* heat in Phoenix and although pretty hot, I did not feel uncomfortable enough to think about quitting. Today, the cart moving was the only thing to cool us off today and walks across those steamy fairways to a ball as far from the cart as possible just left my clothes soaked and wet. Thankfully clouds blocked the sun about 70% of the round but that 30% in direct sunlight was just brutal. Not sure I could have done all 18 in full sun so I tip my cap to you year round Sunshine State golfers!!!

Played Eagle Point in Bluffton and at 6400 yds with only 3 par 5's, it was effectively 6550 yds, there was zero roll on every tee shot and I carded a 77 that felt like an 87. I moved up to the whites at 6036 the next round and still drives were plugging and only improved 2 strokes to a 75. Sister course Crescent Point was not as bad but still wet and CPO so some roll, but 20 mph winds on a course I didn't know caused us to abandon our scorecards and just enjoy the day. 

... Played Orange Lake Legends in Orlando and the greens are covered with an invasive grass that looks like crab grass so making putts was almost impossible and shot another 75 with one lone birdie. Finally got to play a course with at least some run off the tee at Orange County Panther Lakes today and I felt like a man that just got released from a prison term for a crime I didn't commit. Ended up with 2 bogies and 5 birdies. But to make sure I wasn't too comfortable I am guessing, they turned the sprinklers on for 3 holes in a row while we were playing them LOL and it was cart path only so we had to dodge the water between sprinkler rotations. Greens rolled nice though and a 69 felt really good as I was starting to get a little discouraged with the playing conditions. 

...  I don't know how you Fla guys play in this weather. 94* and humidity at 100% with the overnight rains and then watering the over seeded fairways. I can't believe I used to practice football in this weather when I was young. I played walking in 105* heat in Phoenix and although pretty hot, I did not feel uncomfortable enough to think about quitting. Today, the cart moving was the only thing to cool us off today and walks across those steamy fairways to a ball as far from the cart as possible just left my clothes soaked and wet. Thankfully clouds blocked the sun about 70% of the round but that 30% in direct sunlight was just brutal. Not sure I could have done all 18 in full sun so I tip my cap to you year round Sunshine State golfers!!! 

Took me a few years to get somewhat used to FL. I’m still not 100% comfortable with the conditions.
I can’t remember the last time we had a Tee time later than 8:00am, 8:30 is my cutoff.

Played with my son and a friend of his at Lincoln Park West. It was in the mid-40's but felt like upper 30's - it was wet and cold. My numbers aren't good but I was happy with my score. My son played really well - 1 over 72 for him.

No kidding!  I grew up in Florida and spent most of my adult life in the southeast where heat and humidity were typical.  I didn't realize how bad it was until I finally moved out west and found out about low humidity!  Even though it was 100 in Colorado, I was playing golf and not sweating like a stuck pig like I would have been in the same temperature in Charleston, SC with humidity above 95%!  I sure don't miss that humidity!

...definitely a strange round today. I had the same number of GIRS as I did plugged bunker shots, and was the same number over par for the entire round. The magic number? 4!

Obviously, the iron play was very bad, however my short game and putting really saved me today. I only had 25 putts, and while that number is extremely deceiving because of the low GIR, I still made over 100ft of putts. I’m really glad I decided to give the armlock one more try before I moved back to a traditional putter.  Overall, some good, some bad, and some ugly.

2-3 club cold wind, leaves blowing all over the green, slow round due to everyone having to search for their balls in the leaves and I couldn't get it together.  I think I had 4 or 5 double bogeys.  Just couldn't focus on playing, I guess.  Anyway, ended up shooting a disappointing 88.  Only highlight on the round was a birdie on the #2 handicap hole.  Go figure!

My season is likely over after last night, which sort of makes me sad because I feel like I have made some progress in the last month or so in terms of getting off the tee and since I don't really have access to an indoor place I can hit balls, I hope I don't revert back to old habits once next season starts. Last night I shot a +8 with a triple on the second hole - I pulled my second shot into a pond. I wasn't striking the ball all that great but ended up with 15 putts to keep things normal, score wise. I only hit 3 fairways, but my missed fairways still left me with reasonable shots, which I don't mind. Have you ever hit a flop shot with a hybrid? I did last night, unintentionally, of course. My tee shot on the first par 5 came to rest on top of some thick, fluffy rough. I was trying to hit a hybrid and I'm not entirely certain the club actually contacted the ball - I'm pretty sure the ball traveled just as far vertically as it did horizontally, which was 17 yards per Arccos. I could only laugh at myself.
