Popular Post CarlH Posted May 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2020 Earlier, I remarked about my round where I shot back to back 41 with 2 doubles on each side today. Well, tonight, was men's club where the format was basically a skins game. So, on my 3rd nine for the day, I had yet again 2 double bogeys, but this time shot 4 over (39 on par 35 course). Our course has 27 holes and I played all 3 nines today and had 2 double bogies on each 9. I'm beginning to think I'm going to get a new nickname if I keep this up. On the plus side, I did have 2 birdies in the skins game, one of which I stroke on for a net deuce. Don't know if I won anything or not, but maybe..... cksurfdude, artful_golfer, Rickp and 9 others 12 Quote Driver: Rogue ST Max (10.5* set at -1 and neutral) -- Mitsubishi Tensai Blue 55g R shaft Fairway: Rogue ST Max 3 wood (16.5*) and Heaven Wood (20*)-- Tensai Blue 55g R shaft Hybrids: Rogue ST Max 5H (23*)--Tensai Blue 55g R shaft Irons: Apex CF19 6-9, PW, AW -- KBS Tour Graphite TGI 70 shafts R +1/2 inch 3* upright Wedges: Edison 53* and 57* KBS PGI 80 Graphite +1/2 inch 2* upright Putter: L.A.B.

I'll be darned if I didn't get another 2 doubles on the back nine and shot the same 41. 82 with 4 double bogies (one birdie). Just think of it as playing 14 holes really well. Nice job!

Popular Post mr.hicksta Posted May 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2020 Riverwalk Golf Club Mission/Presidio today after work! 83 (44/39) - 1 birdie, 8 pars, 6 bogeys and 3 doubles. FIR 5/14 (36%) - I had a couple bombs, but also had some crap drives. GIR 5/18 (28%) - Not my best effort on approaches so a work in progress as usual! 30 putts, SG putting -1.210 with six 1 putts and zero 3 putts. It was an up and down round, and I put together a nice 6 hole run to finish the round.

Check out my post about 5 above this one. Even when I'm able to string 8 pars in a row, when the wheels come off, I can't find a way to control things and salvage the round with an 82 type score. Instead I'm battling to get the horse in the barn breaking 90. Someday... hopefully soon, that will change Get DEADLY around the greens and your cap will drop for sure. One huge difference between us mid-cappers and the low ones is that they get up and down much more frequently.

Popular Post MattF Posted May 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2020 Well, I turned up ready to play, but whoever was hitting the ball sucked. Driver was off pretty much the whole day with the exception of 2 or 3 holes. The highlight of the round was the par 3 #8, hit a 7 iron 175 yards, string straight over the flag and 2 putted for par. Ended the day with a 93. I'm blaming the mulch laying the day before.

Popular Post GolfSpy BOS Posted May 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2020 Not great by any stretch of the imagination today. Course was playing slow with very little runout on top of a low geeky drive tendency resulted in some short drives. And a bad drive, and unlucky second left my behind a pine tree which led to a double, but I did notch my first birdie of the season and had no 3 putts once again. Plus, I made it to my computer 3 minutes before the staff conference started at 9.

GolfSpy_SHARK Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 To piggy back off @B.Boston I also made all my meetings and felt refreshing to play before work! Light drizzle here and there felt good (very humid today) nothing was rolling so off the tee was shorter. Was a good ball striking day, crap putting. Also to note I played irons only (with 2 drives just to see where I was at). Overall 40 with great fairways hit (thanks to the irons) and the GIR reflected the shortness off the tee. Lastly the course entrance I through in there. Was great to see with memorial day and the shutdown, was nice to see some American pride out there.

Popular Post bens197 Posted May 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2020 Played 18 today with dad at the course hosting the district qualifier next month. Lots of positives and some really good course management today. 39/37 with 3 birdies and a double. If I could gripe about one thing, my was not great. 5 over round was a big deal for me as I had never broken 80 on this course until today. I strung 3 bogeys in a row on 15-17 but finished 18 with a bird. It’s at the south end of Canandaigua Lake and the views are fantastic. One amusing shot from today...I landed the ball square on the top of the flag.

Which means they get up & down roughly 2-3 times a round, same as me if not better from that perspective. The biggest difference between me and an 18 is that if I miss the green 98% of the time bogey is the worst I make. Probably not the case for an 18. I'm not saying you improving your short game will drop your handicap, I am simply saying that for me vs you our short games are probably not that different. cksurfdude and MaxEntropy 2 Quote Stealth 2+ 9 (Diamana PD 60 S 45") Stealth 2+ 15 (Diamana PD 70 S 43") G425 19 (Raijin 2.0 85x) G425 22 (Raijin 2.0 85x) ZX7 5-9 (KBS C Taper S) Vokey SM9 45 10 F (KBS 610) Vokey SM9 49 08 F (KBS 610) Vokey SM9 55 08 M (KBS 610) Vokey SM9 59 04 T (KBS 610) Spider GT Splitback 34" ProV1 #23 Twitter @THEZIPR23 "One thing Golf has taught me, is that my muscles have no memory."

My home course if you miss anywhere but short on line you are in the rough around the green. And the one thing that doesn't get figured in the save % that people miss is putts. It is a combination of the 2. That is why SG is so valuable.

Save 42.57% Rough Save 46.47% Sand Save 25.84% Fairway Save 46.05% 2 chips per round 1.26 Dam those are not pretty. The last one drives me insane!! Total SG Short Game -0.62, which would put me 220 on tour. So not bad with ugly percentages. But overall if I miss a green the percentages say I am making bogey. ... So many ways to play this game, even at a high level. I don't wanna say I never chip twice, but I never chip twice. If I am driving the ball well and my swing feels good I am usually below par. But much more often I am not driving the ball well and my swing feels tight, so I find myself in plenty of up and down situations usually shooting in the mid 70's. My save percentage would be somewhere around 80% and even higher on some days. Last week I was 12 for 13 getting up and down, and all of them were far from easy. But that also means I hit 5 GIRs which is obviously well below my index but shot a 75. Granted it was high winds and deep rough, but a few days later shot a 70 in similar conditions when I was striking the ball well and went 4/4 up and down. ... My point being if you can really fine tune your short game, it will help you shoot below your index on good days and keep you in the game on bad days. We have all had big drives in the middle of the fairway only to squander that shot and hit a poor iron that can result in a bogie or worse. Or a laser iron to 10 feet and roll it 5 feet past missing the comeback putt. But hit a poor tee shot in the rough, get something around the green and hit a great pitch/chip to tap in range or makable putt range and you save the hole. If you have a good short game you never squander a good pitch/chip/long putt. I have always felt becoming proficient from the green and going backwards is the fastest way to lower you index and avoid big numbers one a hole. Obviously a duffed, OB or hazard bound tee shot is another story. ... I will add I learned the game with persimmon woods and MB irons using a balata ball, so the short game was much easier to master than the long game. But many younger players have learned the game with big perimeter weighted drivers and irons and a ball that doesn't curve as much so I get some became proficient with the long game before the short game. But regardless of how you learned, optimizing your short game can pay huge dividends. Rickp, MaxEntropy, Kenny B and 7 others 9 1 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

My game consists of driving it great and rolling it in the hole. If I have to rely on my chipping I would be a 10.
