How'd you play?

[MattF]

47/46 93. Driver was off its' chops all day leaving me in a bad position a lot. First time out with the D7's and while I didn't hit any in the power holes, they seem to be working well.

[Rickp]

Monday morning played lousy. 1st 8 holes a few pars mostly bogies until the 8th.
Par 3, 155 yards over water, 2 tier green and windy. What could go wrong

Hit it to 6’ under the hole and got the bird. My Bud 5’ above the hole also got his bird. See easy game

Total disaster of a round. 46/46:92. 5 was a magic number: 5 fairways, 5 greens, 5 3 putts, 5 doubles or worse.

This was just a round to forget and move on.

Wife told me to go play, so I caught the super twilight after work. First hole I hit a great drive down the right side of the fairway, then threw an absolutely dart of a gap wedge right over the flag, two feet for a kick in birdie.

Let’s not talk about the rest...

[fozcycle]

Played the Robert Cupp course at Palmetto Hall Plantation on HHI yesterday, shooting 43/47:90. There was water hazards on every hole and was more difficult than the Arthur Hills course, playing 5700 yards with a 120 slope. I did birdie the 2nd hole.

Played this diabolical par 3 in central Texas (White Bluff Old Course) and after all these years, I thought for sure they’d cut down this oak in the middle of the tee box. Nothing like flighting down a 7 iron but then hoping it climbs high enough to the elevated green. Just a few choice words were muttered upon arrival of this hole.

I'm laughing only because I just had a "stinker round" a couple weeks ago.  The round felt worse than the 91 result.  Of course I was playing from the blue tees (71.5/130/6678), trying to keep up with the pro who was getting ready for the weekend event (73.9/135/7053). At the first tee, I almost said "oh what the hell, I'll give the TIPS a try"... glad I reconsidered . His drives were easily 2x further than the average 21 yards/hole difference in distance.

I was actually playing up to work on 125 and under. It really was just on of those days...bad shots, bad decisions, and after the plus 10 front I just kinda lost mental focus to try and play decent. Hit the ball better during most wanted testing yesterday and hope to do the same tomorrow and get in a little more short game work before my round on Sunday.

[MrBandit]

Last 2 rounds have been nothing to talk about really, after weeks of finally getting my game in the right direction. 2 back to back rounds of 87 and 89 and the first one was just a horrible putting day with 38 putts and the second was back 9 doubles that couldn't get out of.. Stupid game of golf.. 

But hey lets try again this weekend and get the ship back on the right course..

[Sluggo42]

Played like Poo, straightened it out on the range after.. tomorrow will either confirm or deny

Our course hasn't mowed the tee boxes in a week.  It's like hitting out of rough; put a short tee in the ground on a par 3 and the club will hit grass before it hits the ball.  The rough is thick.  Oh yeah... and it's wet from irrigation last night.  Workers were mowing the rough at 7:30am leaving big piles of cut grass everywhere, and it's possible to still lose your ball in the rough.  Greens are still slow, but getting quicker every day.  I have to pretend that the hole is 3 feet further than it actually is in order to get the ball to the hole.  Sometimes I forget to do that.  They look quick, but aren't.

Shot a miserable 46 on the front nine that included a birdie on #2.  Made a double on the par 5 #5 hole; great drive in the middle of the fairway and was never out of the fairway all the way to the green!!  How does that happen??  I managed a good par on the par 5 #9 that seemed to turn my game around.  Shot 37 on the back nine with a birdie on #14.  Both of my birdies came on close approaches with a wedge, not from good putts.

I’m playing a links course for the first time on the Oregon coast this weekend, pretty excited! I’ll let you all know how it goes... and no it’s not Bandon

League is officially over, but we will continue to play until the time change as weather permits. The only thing at stake is skins, so my friend and I decided to try more "hero" shots when we were out of position since a skin was unlikely. It gave us a chance to practice shots we wouldn't otherwise try. A couple worked out, the others, not so much, but it was fun to try. My score would have been 45-ish, but I didn't record a score for one hole. I had pulled my drive left on a dogleg right par 5, under a tree. Had my score mattered, I would have punched out and moved on. Instead, I saw a decent-sized window and tried a full 3w. I smoked it, but it ricocheted off the one branch that was a concern to me. None of the 4 of us had any clue what direction it went and it wasn't any place obvious, so I recorded an X and dropped about 100 yards out. After we tee'd off the next hole, my friend found my ball in the rough in front of the tee box. It travelled a LONG ways for a ball deflected by a branch.

Always wanted to play a more true links course it seems like fun. Hope you enjoy it.

I found a par 3 course about 10 minutes from home that you can pay $12 to play all day so i have been playing there for the past 3 weeks working on my iron game. Between that and going to the range every week it seems to be paying off. Also finally dunked a flop shot from a few yards off the green this past week

I started playing on a par 3, when many of them were not par 3s. Great way to work on your game.

We gambled today with $29 rates at Rose Hill Plantation just off the island at Hilton Head. We played the back nine first, shooting 43/39:82 for 5,682 yards. Last three holes: #7 Par 5, #8 Par 5 & #9 Par 3. I went par, birdie, par.

Very enjoyable round today and the Staff were over the top friendly.

BTW, first time playing this course and did not lose a ball!

Could not make a putt this evening. I shot 43 for 9 holes.

Played the jewel of the LA city golf system - Wilson at Griffith Park. It's a course I have never played well at, but do really enjoy for the look and feel of the place (1927 course, so old school style). Insanely hard to get a day tee time there these days, so when I saw a time open up (at a discount no less!) for 11am today, I had to cut out from work (much easier during these WFH days) and play. A few things happened during this round:

-I didn't get a single birdie

-I got stung by a wasp

-I shot a personal best on the course (+4/+2 - 78 total)

There wasn't anything to really write home about, good or bad. Decent off the tee, but the fairways were shaggy and not giving much roll. Approaches weren't horrible, but nothing close enough to kick in. My putting speed was actually really good, but just not dropping, so easy two putts (30 putts total). Made a beautiful bunker shot right after the wasp stung me, guess I was too distracted by the pain to overthink it, but I then missed the easy putt for the save. Weather was beautiful, air relatively clear, pace not as incredibly slow as it can be there. All in all, a pretty good Wednesday.

That sounds like a lot of fun, nd something I'd enjoy a lot more than going to the range.

Shot 36 today. One birdie, One bogey, 7 pars. Pretty good. The 4 iron off the tee on a few of these shorter par 4's is deadly. It keeps me out of trouble and im able to still have about 140-150 in. Could have been under par, but putter wasn't cooperating.

[tony@CIC]

Our Wednesday traveling group went to a muni called Thunderbird in Huron, Ohio. We played the north course which is a hilly parkland style with narrow fairways and lots of trees. The greens were just punched and sanded and were extremely slow. Ended up with an 89, mostly due to my putting.

Got out for the first time in a few weeks today, as I’ve been dealing with back pain. Played awful on the front nine (+8), but rebounded on the back and shot +4. Finished with an 82, not too bad considering I haven’t been able to play very often of late!

[CarlH]

Shot an 80 today.  Should have been better, but they just punched the greens and they're heavily sanded.  Putting was, to say the least, a challenge for everyone.

fall is definitely here...had a 3:48 tee time and only got 9 in comfortably. 

what an up and down 9 holes. 

5 pars, a bogey, two doubles, and a triple for 44

i was in scramble mode the whole time. driving iron was blocked right, i couldn’t close the club face to save my life. 

short game was awesome today though. 4th hole, par 3, hit my tee shot pin high but right of the green. chipped to a foot. 7th hole approach shot found the green side bunker on the short side. hit a beautiful high arcing flop shot that just caught the fringe and rolled to 2 feet to save par.

That time of year already? I've only played the south at Thunderbird, how do the two 18s compare?

Take Dead Aim

[Shapotomous]

Got to play 9 yesterday afternoon and things improved greatly from the previous round.  7 pars, 1 bird and a double on a lost ball.  Never caught anyone so we got around in 1:25 and didn't feel like we were playing fast.
