How'd you play?

[juspoole]

Played the Par 3 course and was able to walk 9 over my lunch break.  Was low 50's and misting a bit, but lack of wind helped a ton.  Played very well and got to take the new SM8 for a spin. Had a lot of good shots and was able to hit every green. In regards to putting, even with the greens slow was able to start most balls on the line I wanted and were close enough for tap in range, but did not want to actually tap them in the hole at this point to keep safe.  Made 1 birdie from a great tee shot that was 6 feet away.  Actually had many tight shots and 4 great looks that were 12 ft or closer.  Overall really happy with game from 130 yards and in at the moment and so far I like the new wedge.

Played ok, nothing special... but this last storm that blew thru yesterday left this up on the mountains, and I’m in SoCal!

It’s at Spanish Hills CC, in Camarillo, Ca, tucked away between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara

Not Florida that’s for sure.

... Cool area for golf. I never played Spanish Hills but played Camarillo Springs quite a few times as well as Olivas Links a few more miles up the 101.

Played Innisbrook today with Foz, Matt and Sportsman. Innisbrook is known for being home to an odd breed of squirrel - here’s one of the buggers.

I told them from the start that I wasn’t keeping score because I was hung over as all get up and worse I knew I’d be constantly interrupted and probably would miss a few holes.

We played the NorthCourse which completes the Innisbrook Rota for me. Predictably I did not play well but I had a blast, told lots of stories, got interrupted some and only lost one ball. It was just the needed diversion at this time.

Interestingly I’m watching a replay of the ‘18 Valspar. They just said the players would rather face 15 mph winds blowing in one direction than 6-8 that gusted and kept switching directions. That’s exactly what we had, you’d stand over the ball and could never really tell if it was helping or hurting.

Finally it was bizarre to drive past Copperhead on the way out and see everything set up for the tournament but no spectators present - when the first round should have been wrapping up. The course that we played touched the 12th and 13th holes of Copperhead. You’d be surprised at the elevation changes. Matt even asked if this was built on the one hill in Florida. Actually there is a sand hill that runs from Palm Harbor up to Lecanto (Black Diamond Ranch) and another such mound West of Orlando (Bayhill). We aren’t talking mountains, we are talking half a club and with swirling winds, indecision.

Glad you had fun.  Nice to be able to do that in these trying times.  

We have lots of squirrels on our muni.  Martha feeds them peanuts in the shell.  Some are so tame that they will take a peanut out of her hand.  She says that she is fatting them up for the hawks.  #foodchain

Played my first round at Innisbrook- Osprey North today with RevKev, MattF & 00Sportsman. An all MGS group today. We went off #10 first so I shot a 39/48:87 playing 5580 yards, much longer than my normal 5200 at Pebble Creek. Wind was on and off, difficult to judge today. Had two birdies but also had two triples. Chalk it up to not knowing the course. Had a great afternoon, it’s always fun when Rev, Matt & Rob are present.

They call them “Monkey Squirrels” in this part of Fl. Crafty little buggers, they get in your cart or garage and rummage for food and if you upset them they’ll come after you.

MGS royalty right there!   Glad you all had a great time while smiling like a opossum in a persimmon tree.   It's healthy to have fun with your buds during our trying times.   Stay healthy guys

Thanks Rick, you should join us sometime. This particular group has been playing annually for about 5 years. Love these guys!

I keep trying but something always in the way. It’s tough being an Ole Fart. I’m pretty much done with 18 holes until I get my knee (s) replaced. Orthopedic surgeon won’t schedule anything right now.

That's where I was when I progressed to the point of necessary knee replacement.  It did not hurt to swing the club, but walking, even short distances from the cart to the ball and on the greens, was unbearable, forcing me to quit playing until surgery.  With the ongoing crisis, any surgeries short of vital, will likely be on hold.  Hope you're able to get it addressed soon!

[fozcycle]

Played the white tees at my club today with MattF. Yardage is 5865 versus my normal gold tees at 5125. Shot a 44/48:92....not too shabby for an old fart playing the flat belly tees. I wish save travels for MattF and his family as they journey back to Cleveland.

My wife and I played with another couple; first time we have played with them.  Nice people.

I struck the ball OK today but couldn't score; didn't have the speed right on the greens.  I left 4-5 putts short in the jaws; I rarely leave putts short.  Still shot 80, so not too bad.

I heard a rumor today that our governor is closing golf courses.  This might be my last round for awhile.

I hate days  like that.  I'd rather have a day where I hit the ball bad and score terrible than hit the ball really well but not be able to convert.

This morning on 8th hold twisted my knee coming out of a bunker. Skipped the 9th .

Bad day on the fairways and greens today.   Was hitting the ball poorly all day --- push fade that I couldn't seem to rid myself of.   86!  Yikes!

[mr.hicksta]

Friday 18 at Navy Marine with [mention=72400]yungkory[/mention] and a couple of my other usual golf bros.

82 (39/43) from the gold tees with two doubles, an OOB tee shot and a duffed pitch into water. Aside from that it was a positive outing!

FIR 7/14 (50%)

GIR 9/18 (50%)

33 putts (16/17), -2.300 SG with one 3 putt and four 1 putts

Kind of a bittersweet round since I'm leaving next Saturday, but it was fun getting out with the fellas for round amidst all the craziness in the world!

 

[yungkory]

I honestly don't know what I shot today, it was either 79 or 80. Arccos said I 3-jacked a hole but I'm fairly certain I didn't. Going to give it the benefit of the doubt though because it's been pretty accurate since switching to the iOS app.

80 (40/40)

9/14 FiR

10/18 GiR

35 putts really struggled with distance/pace

[Rickp]

Knee is absolutely killing me today going to take next 3 days off and try Tuesday.
At least I can still ice my knee, nobody’s hoarding ice yet

Innisbrook on Thursday with @fozcycle, @revkev and @00sportsman was a great day. I played OK but more importantly the company couldn't be beat. Here's a few snaps.



Played pretty ordinary with Foz on Friday and played like today, but I had a blast with 3 elderly ladies that I was paired with. 3 days in a row is a touch too much for me I fear.

[Jmikecpa]

Got in my first and what is my last round (at least for a few weeks) at my club today. Cold and windy in the water but walked 18 and hit it pretty well. The new sticks are doing exactly what I had them built to do. Hit 13/14 fairways off the tee and 14/18 greens. Flighting the ball in the wind is a snap with the new shafts and distance is spot on. Not sure what I shot since this was our cups and didn’t really try and putt all that much.

Shot 41/47:88 today with one birdie. Birdie held for $40...Woo Hoo!

We did use proxy markers for the Par 3’s. The cups were inverted, making it easy to leave the pin in and retrieve your ball. There were no sand bottles on the carts, no rakes in the bunkers and we collected the cards for calculating the winners with payout next week. We had 33 players today keeping distances and I personal contact. All went well.
