New Bacon Boys? 

Tuesday & Wednesday no Bacon Boyz, actual decent golfers.
Monday & Friday (especially Friday) are “The Boyz”. Golf is the excuse to get out of the house for these guys. If it wasn’t so funny I’d move on but....

Played Eagle Pointe again today. Drove the ball well and only lost 2 balls today, but shot the same score today as I did last week. But I know I hit the ball better today just didn't get any puts to drop. Should have had 2 birdies on front and one on back. Back nine score was a little alcohol soaked 🍺 ! But it was ninety degrees and Coronas were going down nicely.

The Bacon Boyz were very subdued this morning, I think the lack of bacon & sausage is taking its toll.
Anyway played a decent 1 over with 2 birds. Course this morning wasn’t overly tough but I made it tough on a couple holes.
Weather beautiful 62’ w light breeze and sunny.
Getting anxious for the state to start opening up, slowly is OK but some opening

... What a day! After almost 6 months off I finally got to play a round of golf. 🤗 Turned out much better than I would have thought. Figured it would either be ugly or really ugly but I shot 1 over and it was only a little ugly. Lots of ups and downs as I was missing greens or leaving myself 30+ footers and very few legit chances at birdie. I rolled in a 35 footer that had a good deal of break and it just fell in the side. But I was just trying too make solid contact on the front 9 and shot 1 under. Started feeling more comfortable on the back 9 and got too cute with a couple of front pin downwind I took just enough club to land short or just on and the ball plugged short both times. Did not hit either super solid so that few yards of less carry really cost me. I should have taken more club and had 20 footers coming back. 

... It just felt awesome too get out again and I almost had the place to myself. With only 2 somes allowed and tee times 15 minutes apart, I figured it would be packed. I had a 1:45 and arrived at 1:35 and was surprised to see nobody on the first 3 holes. Starter said your partner isn't here so go ahead and tee off. Didn't catch anyone til #12 and a dad and his son waived me thru.  After since there has been NO GOLF in Illinois since last fall, a nice day in the mid 60's I was shocked to see it so empty. I have a 2:45 tomorrow and imagine Saturday will be full, but we shall see.

Finally got back out today after not playing since 3/22 (yeah, woe is me, but I don't pay Hawaii taxes to be taking a whole month off from golf!) and surprised myself. I thought it was going to be a lot worse than it was, but I ended up getting lucky a few times. Greens were somehow not filled in from whenever they were punched last. We've been on shelter in place orders since late March, so I'm not sure how these clowns ended up having such horrible greens, but I got to golf today so I'm going to stop being a little whiny b*tch!

39/42 for a lucky 81

4/14 FiR (2 of which were 4i's)

10/18 GiR

35 putts on bumpy greens I'll take it.

Sprayed driver to the right literally ALL day, which is weird because my miss is usually left. Irons were mostly very thin, need to work on strike for sure.

Played 9 holes last Saturday and another 9 yesterday.  Just a bit off with the game right now.  Tried to hit the range this week to get more reps and really was hitting them decently. 

Losing confidence in my tee balls and some approaches while on the course.  On the plus side, my chipping/pitching and putting were pretty good.  Counting back through, I was able to come up with a 43/42, so not great, but not as bad as I initially thought in my head.  Hope to get back out there soon and get back into the 70's.

Wow was it great to get out yesterday in Illinois. Played a quick 9 holes with my father in the morning and then 9 holes in the evening with my fiance. It was a beautiful morning with my dad, temperature was just right. Shot a 40 on the first 90; started out slow with bogeys on 1 and 2 and then was able to string some pars together. On the second 9 shot 41 but was able to birdie the 8th hole and had a couple other good looks. It was so nice to get out! #GolfIsBack

I continue to struggle with my game and today was no exception.  Had I not been putting halfway decent, it would have been far worse than my final tally of 84.

Rode 18 after work. First two holes were in heavy rain, but it cleared off and never another drop until putting out on 18.  Course was empty which was great as it is usually packed these days. 

Really struggled on the front until I settled and went par/par on 8 and 9. Surprised I was +5 after 9 as crappy as I was hitting. Chipping and pitching saved me. 

10 I left a 5 footer for birdie. Birdied 12 and played the back to +2. 

Got off the tee fine Thursday and yesterday at the range, but today I was horrible.I topped the ball on  #12, 3 wood, then hit my approach to 3 feet for birdie. #14 I skipped a ball off the pond a  100 yards in front of me to my left and left 233 to he stick. Hit 3w to fringe then up/down for par. 

Down to my final days as a member with renewal coming May 8th. Dont think I will sign on again or at least wait until folks get back to work as the course is just too crowded for me when its not raining. I might join another place that allows a month to month with no contract for the summer. Smaller greens to work on approach and just a change of scenery.  Not as well kept, but good place for a couple months to tighten the game.

Played two rounds the last couple days, and while I did some good stuff, let's just say my overall game is back in an undesirable area. Somewhat expected after a 40 day layoff with minimal practice, but still kind of frustrating. Overall though, yay for golf being back!

 

This is about where I'm at.  Had a 30' eagle putt that I missed by <1/2 a ball width.  Tap in birdies are still nice.  Had a couple of good drives besides that.  The rest wasn't much work talking about.

Dude go easy on yourself, no golf and with a move half way across an ocean in the middle. You’ll be back in a round or 2.

I did something today I’ve neve done before. I shot a round in the 70s (79) one week after shooting a 77.  Two consecutive rounds in the 70s.  I’m stoked.  Another goal achieved.  Aguila Gold course PHX, AZ and  Verrado Founders course Buckeye, AZ.

Got out and played today and had a very special guest with me, the wife! I asked a buddy to play but he had family obligations, so my better half offered to come along and drive the cart. She enjoys getting out, seeing the sights, and geeks out over the geese. 20200503_161633-01.jpeg
Shot even par.......on the last two holes. I had told the wife that I needed to do that to shoot 100, but turns out that 72+27=99. Some days I can't math.

50/49 99
6/14 fairways
3/18 greens
33 putts

The driver was erratic all day with a lot of left bias, I only hit one right. Mostly pulls, but they still left some room to advance the ball. The wedge was mostly junk on shots over 30 yards. Take this hole for example, hit a decent drive with about 175 left to the pin. Hit a rocket of a 5 iron that I accidentally pured. Then it went wedge, wedge, wedge, wedge, then I one putted with the wedge because I left the putter in the cart and was too lazy to go back and get it. Screenshot_20200503-185005.jpeg

My shot of the day came on the 18th, I hit a decent drive, topped a 3 wood, came up a little short with the 7 iron, and was left with 33 yards to the pin. Hit a chip that I thought was rolling in and left myself around 4 inches for par. 20200503_182040-01.jpeg20200503_182109-01.jpeg

It was a beautiful 80 degree day to be out and the company was spectacular. I can see what I bed some work, but I really can't complain. Made a couple of swing adjustments to the driver and irons and saw some positive results.

... I think those 2 smiles certainly tell a story. Awesome to have that kind of support from a non player. You are a rich man in the truest sense of the word. 🤗
