How'd you play?

Recommended Posts

Once again started my round off slightly rough then the back 9 had me rolling on the par, bogey, and birdie train. I then hit a bad 7i which lead me to shooting a 8 on a par 4. Broke 100 but could have shot my best ever round on a course that was playing tough with very sloped greens that were fast and fun.

Played yesterday, should have not, too damn hot.

Started front 9 with a double, made some great up and down middle and finish the front 9 with another double.
Back 9 just got worse, never got anything really going. 
Double 3 out 4 of the par 5... can improve your score doing that.💩 🤮

Need to take a nap!

41-40 today at my favorite course. No penalties, but the only birdie was a wedge on a par 5 I knocked to two feet.

Fast greens are killing me right now, I can't sink anything.

Shot a 98 today that could have potentially been high 80's if I hadn't taken a few penalties off the tee and avoided 2 blow up holes. One of them involved 3 chips from well below a raised green that rolled right back down at me.

Given that it was my first full 18 of the year, I ain't mad about the score.

I am, however, mad about the below. I hit it off the tee on a tight fairway and the ball went maybe 20 yards and it sounded awful. I looked down and went "huh". Looks like I'm in the market for a 3w shaft with a Callaway adapter!

I know, right??

I pulled the adapter, it looks like layers on the bottom of shaft just started coming apart. The outer layers of the shaft are still in the sleeve, and it looks like it was happening just where the sleeve was. I'm going to try cutting it a little bit above where the splintering was happening and put it back together. It'll be maybe an inch and a half shorter and a bit stiffer, but if it works, then I've saved myself a bunch of $$$.

- 8/14 FIR
- 6/18 GIR (1 birdie)
- 32 Putts (1 3-putts, 12 2-putts, 5 1-putts)

The in-laws took me up to a different course today, The Falls at Barber Creek in Kent City, Michigan. I played there last summer and it's a gorgeous little course.

I say little because the course tops out at 6,004 yards from the back tees. But for what it lacks in length it makes up for tight tee shots and small, very undulating greens with difficult pin placements. So many sucker pins on the course today.

It was very hot today, and the ball was flying well. I played pretty darn well overall. I struggled with the driver early on hitting one ball OB and one ball into the water, but during the middle, middle-end of the round I hit some really nice iron and wedge shots. Because the course is short, most of the back nine I didn't hit anything longer than 4 hybrid off the tee.

Birdied number 11 and parred three of the four par 3s, which really helped my score. Unfortunately, I couldn't hold it together on the last hole. I knew I was going for a 38 on the back with a par, and I tried to chew too much of the hole off the tee. I hooked my driving iron into the massive left fairway bunker, caught my sand shot heavy to about 30 yards in front of the green and then unfortunately caught my pitch heavy as well, landing just short of the fringe. Chipped to about four feet but sadly two-putted for a 40. 

I still need to work on trusting that if I start the ball right of target that it will come back. For much of the front I hit irons perfect distances but they drew left of target. On the par three No. 7 hole that really hurt me as I ended up left of the hole chipping downhill to a pin tucked at the back of the green. I bumped the ball about a yard short of the green and it ran on, but left me an awful downhill putt. I ended up three-putting from about 10 feet. Ouch.

Well that looks amazing. Love water features on a course, don’t get that much around here

Nice looking course.  Are there sucker pins on small greens?  🤔

Probably true. 

Just seemed like every pin today was guarded by a bunker or perched on a shelf. Granted, my home course has very large round greens without any trouble in front of them. So everything seemed like a tough pin placement in comparison.

I guess I don't think about sucker pins, since I'm not good enough to attack pins.  I aim for the middle of greens, and I consider myself lucky to hit the green.  If my ball is near the pin... well, I just tip my hat!  😃

Able to get out this morning and play Antler Creek in Falcon, CO.  AC is a long course, 8000yds from the tips.  No way I could do that.  We played from the blues (7000) which are still a bit too long for me.  My buddy wanted the blues so why not?  Good to stretch yourself every so often.  Or it was today.

 

42/42 which is pretty good for me. Driver was missing most of the day and on a 7000yd course that doesn’t help.  Good news. Is that the chipping and putting were spot on.  Saved my bacon!

I also had some really good shots today and the birdie came on a drive that went right and kicked right but I knocked it to about 10 feet.

Sir, I've noticed you're wearing a Cobra hat and there's no Cobra clubs in the bag. Honestly, that's s nice looking course and great round!

[mention]sirchunksalot [/mention] I am waiting as patiently as I possibly can for some shiny and carbony Cobra sweetness.

But in the meantime it felt right to start rocking the hat. Seems like the M5 knows it’s on borrowed time too... I’ve had multiple “career drives” on holes this year. Seems at least once or twice a round in walking up to a ball that’s around 280 according to arccos.

The SM7s have been working great for me too. I really like having multiple grind options and I’m glad I’m carrying that through with the MIM wedges.

Hopefully I’ll be swinging those soon!

I finally got the chance this past weekend to view in person the carbony goodness, and they look so good in person. I convinced the wife to stop at the only shop in my area that carries Cobra just to look at the SZ and Forged Tec. I'll be curious how the MIM wedges are, I'm in the market for some new ones and I like the look of them.

Just got back from my Thursday afternoon round with my boys.  This time I only took my 5 year old, whose interest doesn’t quite match his older brothers yet. Not going to force him...he played 2 holes, drove the cart, picked flowers for his Mom, and had fun...the important part.

As for me, ever have a practice round you wish you could count and post?  3 birdies and 1 bogey, would have been my first sub-par 9 of my life.  But, it was just practice.  Can’t wait to get out for 18 tomorrow morning.  (And really hoping this great game of ours isn’t setting up to humble me...)

Funny how that works huh?  I’ve got a Honma driver coming to test, and suddenly my Epic can’t miss.

That’s how the Ping G30 stayed in the bag an extra year and a half. Haha

But just as I saw at True Spec Golf last fall the M5 is 10+ yards longer for me. I was launching it slightly higher with less spin. I don’t expect the SZ to be 10 yards longer but I do expect some more consistency (especially with the Ventus) and a little higher launch.

I already know I love the look, sound, and feel of it.

Nice tidy 73 today. Not too much bad and nothing great just a steady round. Loving the left dash ProV1x. Now onto four more days of golf.

Another weird night of league. Felt like I actually struck the ball pretty well, but the score just didn't reflect it.

48 (net +1); 4/7 FIR, 1/9 GIR, 16 putts

First hole is an extremely get-able par 5: only 465 yards to an elevated green that is elevated and hard to hold. Drove slightly left, left my 2nd shot short, then over-hit the green on the approach which left me short sided. 5 ft below the hole, and 10 yards away, I caught it a little thin and sent it past the top shelf the hole was on. Ended up with a double that really shouldn't ever be less than a bogey.

Second hole is typically trouble for me. Hard dog-leg left with a junk bunker to hit over on the approach. I slightly over-drew my tee shot, which left me 145 out with a tree in my way. I needed about 15 yards right to left to get it around. Struck my 9i (my usual 145 club) perfectly. It grazed a leaf, drew exactly how much I wanted to and...ended up 15 yards past the green. I'm still scratching my head on what happened there.

6th hole pushed my 3W right OB. 7th hole hit the fairway, but a tree obstructed my approach, and ended up in a green-side bunker. 8th pushed my drive way right, had me in a spot I needed to just punch out to the fairway. Chunked the next shot, walked away with a triple.

9th hole I smoked a drive, left me 75 yards from the green. I had over hit a few partial wedges throughout the round, and this one I feathered...5 yards short of the green. Tricky pin placement and a chip that didn't quite have enough to get down to the valley the pin was in, and I bogeyed a hole where I was 75 yards out sitting two.

Again though, I feel like I scored really poorly and still hit basically my handicap. Maybe I should just start tempering my expectations lol.

I had the biggest roller coaster round of my life today. I was under net par the entire front 9, came within a foot of my first ace and sat at 42 at the turn. Best 9 ever on my home course. Through 15 holes, I was net -4 but I’d been outside all day and the 100° heat was getting to me and I knew it. Told myself all I had to do was keep it in play and get out of the last three holes with bogeys. I then proceeded to drop 4 strokes over the last 3 holes and ended up tying my best round there at 90. Can’t believe I was that close, playing that well and I just flat ran out of gas. On top of that, on 17 a pair of older gentlemen caught me, I was walking so I’d usually let them go, but since there was 1 hole to play I figured I’d be alright. Well I’m walking across the 18th fairway after hitting my approach, and I hear a tee shot, then I hear a ball, and I look up as it wizzes by about 6 feet in the air right in front of me. It takes a lot to make me mad, but I was so drained it really ticked me off. Without even thinking about it, I casually kicked his ball out of the rough and into the trees. He pulled up and said “sorry, didn’t see you there” but I was in the middle of the fairway, 200 yards in front of him and he just watched me chip and putt on the last hole. I just smiled and waved and walked toward the green. Not sure I handled that the best way but passive aggressive is better than aggressive I guess.
