So poorly - I was one over in the middle of the fairway on 6, 110 yards, not much breeze, smooth wedge that I shanked into a pond - triple.

 

... I feel your pain. Crazy how they can pop up out of nowhere Rev. You may remember my very first shot with my T100-S was a shank and I cannot even remember the last time I shanked a shot. But kinda excited about hitting them for the first time, playing a knockdown out of the light rough with more forward shaft lean than normal was my excuse for shanking. I just had to laugh ...

Shot a 102. Bunker play hurt me again. Too many holes that took multiple shots to get out of the bunker. Driver was a bit wild off the tee as well.

Made a life changing discovery though. Hovering instead of grounding my irons. Instead of hitting fat shots or low balls, I was hitting high, soft landing irons. Hovering allowed me to make ball first contact instead of hitting the turf.

Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s

I did not play well today. 

I shot a 91 at Taylor meadows this morning, pulled something on my left shoulder on the 16 hole, I finished the round, but now there is pain and tenderness, I'm icying out and resting, I'm going to see the doctor Tuesday just to be sure that is not bad.

48/44. I was able to minimize my mistakes. Plus I was able to put in play what I had practiced at the range yesterday. So even though my score wasn’t great. I still feel that my game is growing stronger

Shot an 83 today, still working on a swing change. Wouldn’t normally be proud of an 83 necessarily on its own, but today I played PGA WEST Stadium course from the back-most tee placement today. While not the 7300 yard beast it can be, I controlled the ball for the most part and almost broke 80 the first time ever playing the course, if it weren’t for a double-double finish after a birdie on 16. Yes, the water ate a golf ball on Alcatraz island green from 165 yards. Man that green is SMALL.

The course looked fantastic, it was 54 when we teed off mid 60s when we finished, it felt like fall golf.

Yep, when I took the down swing on my second shot, it felt like someone was holding my shoulder back. 

It is still sore, but overall I can move on most directions but lifting my left arm above my head. 

I'm calling the doctor's office early tomorrow and try to see my doctor and make sure there is no serious damage. 

EDIT 

The funny thing is that, I was driving the ball well, and hitting what felt like really well struck balls, then I started hooking the ball on the 7th hole, which is not my tipical miss, I finally got back to hitting straight on 14 and 15, I should have noticed that some was amiss.

We didn't play on Saturday since we played on Thursday last week.  Sooo, how do I have FOUR (4) doubles in the first 6 holes without hitting OB or into penalty areas??  I found 3 ways; poor ball contact, poor short game, and poor decisions.

Shot 48/37 for 85.  I decided to have another double at the turn... double BV and 7UP.  Should have had one before I started!!

My wife shot 44/40 for 84.   Arrrgh!

EDIT:  We decided to play an "emergency nine" after we finished.  Another poor decision... my wife started getting her heat stroke symptoms on #5, but wanted to keep playing.  I should have insisted we we head to the car.  On #7 she relented and we made it home to a shower and a long nap.  She's better today.  These 100º days can be brutal to her.

We are supposed to play at our sister course across the Columbia River on Labor Day; we get 1/2 off greens fees because of our membership at our course.  However, the wind is blowing, and it is forecasted to be 20-45 mph when we tee off at noon.  We may decide to cancel and play our course instead.  I don't see a reason to pay extra to play in poor conditions.

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

Been there with the doubles for no reason. Sorry to hear about the heat! Take it easy out there. I played in 120+ yesterday. Drove from shady spot to shady spot, only took one practice swing maximum, and had a gallon of water with me. Still came home and slept it off. 99381F04-D974-4C71-87AC-55A1BB5E5C72.jpeg.9897cecda41cabab8465a10e1b342c7c.jpeg

80.

At least you get great rates at PGA West this time of year!!  I played there maybe 15 years ago.  I've spent many Julys in the Palm Springs area for meetings before I retired.  It's a great time of the year to play some very nice courses.  Temps are only slightly cooler here; we hit 112 this year.  Now we only go there in January!!  Headed there in 4 months.

Wellll....I went thru the motions this morning for 9 holes and never made decent contact on a shot. Everything was “off the toe”. Very frustrating and the hot humid weather didn’t help my attitude.
Taking off playing tomorrow and doing a serious couple of buckets. Hope I can get it together.

Anywhere in the Palm Springs Area is awesome this time of year, as long as you can deal with the heat. I paid $59 to play PGA West!

Wellll....I went thru the motions this morning for 9 holes and never made decent contact on a shot. Everything was “off the toe”. Very frustrating and the hot humid weather didn’t help my attitude.
Taking off playing tomorrow and doing a serious couple of buckets. Hope I can get it together.
 

Sounds familiar.  Very familiar.  Except the "off the toe" part.  I know not of what you speak.  🤣

I may need a “mental health” break. This morning was really bad on a track that actually plays well for Lefties.

Shot a 102. Bunker play hurt me again. Too many holes that took multiple shots to get out of the bunker. Driver was a bit wild off the tee as well.

Made a life changing discovery though. Hovering instead of grounding my irons. Instead of hitting fat shots or low balls, I was hitting high, soft landing irons. Hovering allowed me to make ball first contact instead of hitting the turf.

Each new discovery that can change your game

got out for a quick practice round today. played 2 balls for 11 holes before it was time to get home. i’ve got a newborn son and my wife deserves to be canonized for letting me get out to play. 

i hit the ball really well.  wasn’t keeping score, just focused on good contact with my irons and chipping well around the green.  

guy i got paired with was bugging me to try his driver all day. finally gave in on 9:

396 yard par 4. drove it 341. chipped to within 6” for a nice tap in birdie. really solid way to close out the front 9

Shot 79 today. Was really feeling it on the front 9 with a 37. The back 9 I felt like we were waiting almost every hole and lost the rhythm and tempo. But still grinded out there for a 42. All in all a nice round

Played 2 times this weekend.. The last 4 rounds have been a consistently rounds of 82.  With 37, 38, and 39 on either on the front or back of the rounds. Silly mistakes escalating the scores quickly. 

Today round was consistent driving, irons, chipping and putting. With the exception of 2 par 3 which, the iron was stroke well but either slight pull or push. And bad around the greens on those holes cause uncessary doubles. 

Hitting 9 GIR/ 10 FWY / 30 Putts. Felt great finally putting a decent round front and back  39 / 39. 

Just tried not do too much with each hole, played each shot and tried not make things worse

51/48 99 today

7/14 fairways

3/18 greens

37 putts

I've had a long Labor Day weekend and was hoping to get out to play at least twice, but yard work and family time have taken precedence over playing. I'm off tomorrow, but needed to go to the eye doctor for more prescription sunglasses for me and my wife.

I'm just happy I got to play today and had a blast doing it. The round started out rough, my contact was horrendous and I showed my newfound mastery of the pull-top on several occasions. For a while I thought about leaving at the turn and just saying forget about it, but I made the conscious decision to relax.Screenshot_20200907-201945_Firefox-01.jpeg.c7a476c2aa26e85cd5c3d158879f6c86.jpeg

I have a tendency to be pretty tense with my swing and I know I need to loosen up, but it's hard for me and I had to keep the thought in my head every shot. Once I did, my game improved. I still had some bad shots, but honestly, they didn't bother me as much. 

My shot of the day was this SW that Arccos measured at a gargantuan distance.Screenshot_20200907-184837-01.jpeg.f082fd465094f8ac5ee351c90b3b6206.jpeg

 Eat your heart out Kyle Berkshire

Just kidding, it was a putt from off the fringe that Arccos measured at 61 feet and after that SW, it could have been tap in distance.20200907_172514-01.jpeg.2149d6a9eaed7ff56e143b0b90ec83a3.jpeg

The ball was just in front of where I am standing and was a nice left to right breaker that just died in the hole. I'm glad no one saw the celebratory dance, it probably wasn't pretty to see but it felt good. I also hit a 5 iron to 12 feet on a par 3 I was pretty impressed with and a 5 wood from 177 out of the rough to 16 feet on the par 4 11th.  It's those shots that keep us coming back for more.
