Good front side 39 with a double bogey, but followed it up with a dreadful back shooting 45 for a smooth 84 .... just couldn't seem to find anything on the back.  Cold, overcast day (low 40s).

Shot good again, ptxPros still rocking. I benched Tommy for Evn and Evn responded well. I think he was tired of living in the truck instead of the bag.

First 9 hole round of 2020 yesterday. It felt so nice just to be out walking the course. 

Ground was soft, which is to be expected coming out of winter, but it wasn't as bad as I have seen at other times. The ground was certainly helped by the cart path only rule for the weekend.

I'm understandably excited by the birdie on #6, but am most proud of the bogey on #8.

I shanked my 3wood off the hozel into the trees on the right and needed to punch out. I followed up my punch out with two less than mediocre swings and ended up 80yds away for my 5th shot. I managed to get up and down from there. Solid work from a bogey golfer.

Played 36 at Turtle Bay yesterday, and it was still really windy, but it was dry. I only kept score on the Palmer course, as the shanks crept into my game on Fazio course. Always something!

88 (42/46) - Three penalty shots hurt me on the back 9, and inconsistency off the tee made things difficult at times.

FIR 3/14 (21%) - See aforementioned comment about inconsistent tee game.

GIR 7/18 (39%) - Not great, but seeing how I missed a few greens short it's actually not too terrible.

Putts: 34 - Not a great number, but I was putted much better this round. My only 3 jack came on a par there where my first putt was 78 feet, leaving a 11 foot second putt, which I barely missed. SG putting was -1.810 and based on my last few rounds, this is about a 4 stroke improvement so hooray for progress!

You'd think after being here in Hawaii for 3 years that I'd be used to playing in wind, but these last few rounds have been exhausting. If anything, I figure it'll make the mild days somewhat easier moving forward!

Well, got to play 9 holes over lunch.  Was about 50 degrees out and some wind and some slow bumpy greens (ok excuses over).  Certainly have a lot to work on, but managed a 41 with some terrible numbers.  3 of the putts from 35 - 40 feet or so would have normally lagged much closer, but ended up 6 feet short and missed them all coming in.  

Score: 41

Fairways: 2/7  (several just off fairway and had no issue)

Greens 6/9

Putts: 21 (Three 3 putts and Zero 1 putts)  - Need a lesson

9 holes with Temp 55’ and of course WIND. Doubled 1st hole Par 5 then settled down a bit for 42. Greens were great so made putting a bit easier.
Wind has been nasty last few days.

Walked 9 with my father for the first round this season. High 50’s and sunny made for a really nice day. I prefer my first few rounds of the season to be less about stats and more about feel and learning distances.

Birdied the last hole of the day as a nice cherry on top. It felt so great to get out today and swing.

First full 9 post injury and a huge contrast to the 5 holes I played a few nights ago.  I shot 42 with a pitch in birdie. If pitching wasnt spot on tonight, I would carded a 45 or may higher.  Left two other pitches 1 foot ot closer. 

I didnt have a clue and not sure why as Ive been striking the ball good at the range. Thought my path was good as well as transition  but not making solid contact. Odd and very dissapointed but it was a nice suny 58 degree day and thankful I was out playing again.

It was not a great ball striking day.  I played the par 5's horribly!!  However, it was probably one of my best, putting days.  None of the putts were straight and I was seeing the line.  I don't break 40 on the front nine very often, let alone shooting +1

Trying to count them up - and maybe I'm a bit off, but I come up with 11 putts!?  That will certainly help the round.  Nice work.

Mostly, but I did play fairly well over the 5 holes I played a few days ago and struck the ball really well.  Could just be my inconsistency, or I did sleep with my contacts in a they were a bit irritating on my sight was off a bit.  I was slightly thin on my irons and leaving everything right. 

 

Sunny here so I am going to play a little later tonight so I can hit some extra balls on the course.

We still have mats... probably for another week or so.  Bad weekend coming up.  Rain turning to snow Friday night; high Sat and Sun in mid-30's with lows around 23º.  No golf!!

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

We're still on mats.  Hate hitting iron shots off mats.  False information on ball striking IMO, not to mention the unintended harsh feedback to the hands.  Supposed to be in the 60s this afternoon, but my throat is feeling a bit scratchy....might be best to not get out there.

Round 1 of the AZ trip is in the books and shot a respectable 75 at Whirlwind Cattail. Just for fun they put me in a group with Symetra player Gabby Lemieux, fun for the first round off the plane. Drive it well, hit the irons well and putter like garbage. Had 7 good looks at bird and not one dropped.

Played with these guys - Foz and Maxentrophy from MGS plus Al a retired Pastor friend of mine. With a younger guy in the house I played back 1/2 set of tees - straight white instead of the senior chairman tees. That means 4 par 4’s over 400. :(

It also means playing this hole from here

Down here they call that marshy stream a Bayou - hence the name of the club. 🙂  We looked at that hole from the back and couldn't even see the pin because it was hidden on the right side, just over a yawning trap, just under a ridge that bisects the green.  It's 215 from there.  It was 170 for us.  I hit a beautiful 7 wood leaving a 15 footer right up the gut.  Burned the left edge. 😞

Blake was awesome with that 3 wood - I thought it was going home with him for sure.

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

I was searching for my swing from my latest lesson. I could NOT find it on the front (actually played the back 9 first), and to make matters worse, I three-putted two greens. Shot 43. Nothing felt right.

78! FINALLY back in the 70s. Hit 12/14 fairways and 12 greens. I think I may have found my swing!
Stoked!!!

 

... You da man PMookie! This reminds me of the Bob Murphy story where his swing got so out of whack and he was so frustrated he took off Sunday - Wednesday with no practice and just started playing in a tournament on Thursday and to his surprise, he won that week. He said it worked so well he did it again the next tournament and won again! He thought "That's it! No practice, trust your swing and just play". The next week on a Friday coming up the 18th fairway and missing the cut by 10 strokes he said he forgot how to even start his backswing, let alone hit a shot. It was then he realized you never actually own a golf swing, you just borrow it for short periods of time."  🤪  That really stuck with me and gets me thru my bad rounds.
