Popular Post Kenny B Posted October 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2020 My wife and I drove down to Corvallis OR (300 mile trip) on Tuesday to see my dad. He will be 90 next month and has been in COVID locked down for 7 months, so we haven't been able to visit. We could only sit with him outside for 45 minutes on Tuesday afternoon, then again on Wednesday afternoon for 45 minutes. They schedule visits for residents every hour, then clean the chairs for the next visit. So, Wednesday morning with nothing to do, we got the 1st tee time at 8:00am at Spring Hill GC in Albany, OR. This course used to be private but is now semi-private. For many years I have driven by the course wishing I could play it. A few holes front a highway that went to Albany from my mom and dad's house. This is a lovely course!! I think it was built in 1960 and has hosted the Oregon Open a few times. It's not a long course at 6500y from the tips; par 72, rating 71.7 and slope 129. I played the White tees at 5960y; 68.9/124. Never been on the course before; shot 42/37 = 79 with one birdie and NO doubles or worse!!. I was very happy with that score since I was in 5 bunkers that were very firm, wet sand; nothing like sand at my course. My wife shot a very decent 88, and had two good bunker shots as well.. Although the grass was very wet, there were no puddles. The course had been plugged and sanded recently, and there was a little sand on the greens, but they rolled quite nicely. If I lived in the area, I would join this club AND the price is very reasonable IMO. Some photos: The chipping green hadn't been mowed yet this morning!! Me on the 1st tee... Hole pics, can't remember which holes... Hole #9 looking at the clubhouse... YES, that's the clubhouse!! I was in a groove on the back nine. Here's something I can NOT do at my course... back up the ball on a green!! Normally, my ball lands on a green, maybe make a slight dent, then roll forward. Not here!! At my course this ball would have been next to the hole... but probably in the cup! The view afterwards, sitting on the patio having a couple beers. #18 green on the right; #9 green on the left, and out of the photo on the left you can watch people playing their 2nd shot all the way to the #1 green. tony@CIC, sirchunksalot, CarlH and 8 others 8 3 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kenny B Posted October 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2020 Played Wolf today at the other course in town after driving home last night; only 5 hours sleep. There was dew on the greens until noon!! They didn't mow the greens, but they were running much quicker than last time I played there. At my course they mow the greens every morning before the first group goes out, so no dew. I lost 2 quarters. Shot 39/40. It's been a long time since I broke 80 on this course. Oh yeah, that included two (2) doubles on the back nine when I took a nap. I had a birdie on the par 3 #6 hole playing an uphill 156y; stuffed it to 3 feet, and sniped my buddy who hit it to 6 feet and missed the putt. Made up for the birdie he made on top of my par on #1. I finished the round with a birdie on the par 5 #18; a five footer. cnosil, Rickp, sirchunksalot and 7 others 10 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlH Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Was supposed to play today, but only 2 of us showed up, so off we went in separate carts. Nobody in front of us and we finished the front 9 in an hour. I shot 40 (not taking time on putts mainly). Went par, par, par when we finally caught up to the group in front of us. They were incredibly slow and there were groups in front of them. My playing partner and I jointly agreed to call it a day. He drove back to #9 where he lives and I headed in to the clubhouse.

Chip Strokes Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 mixed bag today. shot a 96 overall, which is pretty much where i usually end up. my swing coach/fitter put a cobra driver together for me during my last lesson that he let me take and try out. we’ve been working on contact point and closing the club face. the result was 3 great tee shots. two with the driver and one with my driving iron. irons/approach shots were terrible as usual, chipping and wedge play saved my ass MattF, Kenny B, cksurfdude and 6 others 9 Quote SIM2 8º | KuroKage XD 70TX SIM 3W 14º | Fujikura Atmos Black Tour Spec 9TX SIM2 5W 18º | Fujikura Ventus Black 10X U500 2i | Fujikura Ventus HB Black 10TX T100 4-PW | Dynamic Gold X7 SM6 52* SM8 56* SM8 60* | Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 DW | BGT Stability Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edingc Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 - 39 (+3) - 5/8 FIR - 6/9 GIR (1 birdie) - 18 Putts (2 3-putts, 5 2-putts, 2 1-putts) Rainy, dreary day today with no sun and a high temperature only around 50. Figured the course was pretty empty and it was, so I hopped off the back nine and slid between the few groups that were out today and avoided any heavy rain. This was probably the first round all season immediately post-lesson that I played pretty well. Hit a lot of greens (Nos. 12-17), and just missed hitting No. 18 by about a yard long (notched a chip-and-down for par). Didn't hit the ball exceptionally far since I was bundled up, but I hit my targets and didn't kill my score with bad shots off the tee. I just unfortunately went bogey-bogey to open the nine and then had back-to-back three putts for bogey on 15 and 16 because I was 60+ feet away on the green with my approaches. cnosil, cksurfdude, sirchunksalot and 5 others 8 Quote Unofficial WHS Handicap: 7.5 / Anti-Cap: 13.0 (Last Updated Feb. 19, 2024) Driver: Callaway Paradym TD (10.5°, -1/N), 45.75", Fujikura Motore X F1 6X | Fitting Post 3 Wood: Cobra RadSpeed Big Tour (14.5°), 43", Fujikura Motore X F1 7X 20° Hybrid: PXG 0211 (2020 Model), 40.25", Mitsubishi Tensei AV RAW White 90X 4 Utility: Cobra KING Utility (2020 Model), 38.5", Aerotech SteelFiber i110cw Stiff 5-PW: Ben Hogan PTx Pro, 37" 7 Iron, Aerotech SteelFiber i125cw Stiff | Club Champion Fitting 50°, 54°, 58°: Edel SMS, V Grind, Nippon Modus 125 Wedge| Official Review Thread Putter: L.A.B.

Never been on the course before; shot 42/37 = 79 with one birdie and NO doubles or worse!!. I was very happy with that score since I was in 5 bunkers that were very firm, wet sand; nothing like sand at my course. My wife shot a very decent 88, and had two good bunker shots as well..

That is a beautiful course, and that clubhouse...wow. I love that picture of the chipping green, whoever took it did a great job between the patterns on it and the sunlight filtering through the trees. I'm glad you were able to spend time with your dad after all that time of him being in lockdown. That's awesome!

Kenny B Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I finally had a decent round at my course today although I still didn't drive the ball very well. I scrambled around for a +3/+3 round of 78. Chipping and putting were working better now that the greens have returned to their normal speed after aerating and sanding. One double on #11 and no birdies, but I had two sandy pars.

Grand Stranded Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) One of those days you want to forget, My Saturday league played a game for the first time today, called Quota. Fun game that I would've enjoyed even more if I played worth a damn... For those of you not familiar with it, you subtract the number of strokes you get from 36. In my case that was 11 today which meant I needed to make 25 points to reach my quota. You go off your GROSS score on each hole, birdie 3 pts, par 2, bogey 1, double -1. It's a tough game, and I made it harder by really struggling again today with my irons. I'm dying to put my new PXG 0211's in the bag, but I thought it best to wait a couple more weeks as the next couple of Tuesdays we playoff for my Club Men's League Championship. The way I was hitting the old ones today though, maybe I should've used a right handed set. What makes it so confounding is all the other parts of my game are really sharp. I'm driving it well, my putting and wedge game are as good as can be for a player like me. I just can't hit a quality second shot. Between lost balls in water, trees, and even the rough(???), two unplayable plugged lies, it was a double bogey fest. Not sure what my actual score would've been, probably around 90-92. I only made 6 pars and a bunch of bogeys. I also picked up after double a bunch of times because of the format.

ncwoz Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Played my second round at a local course, hit the ball super solid (again!). My putting let me down a bit again today. Something about the greens just throws me off, cuz I was starting them on-line really well, just a lot of missed reads. Between a lot of missed putts, and 2 blow up holes, I felt like I played way better than the score suggested. Ended the round on a birdie though!

THEZIPR23 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 70 7/14 fir 13/18 gir 29 putts Hit the driver great again, of the fairways I missed all but 1 were less the 2 yards into rough. Greens are 12 days past plugged so putting was not good. Made 1 18 footer on 9 for birdie, other 3 birds were inside of 4 feet, and missed 2 more inside of 5. Pretty solid overall. Practice round at Poppy Hills today, then Monday and Tuesday NCGA Mid-AM 4 ball. First day Poppy and second day Del Monte. Feel good about where my game is at. Hopefully can get some putts to drop and get on a run.

dlow206 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Played like crap on the front 9, especially the first few holes. Lost like 4 balls on the front 9, not good. On the last few holes of the front 9, and then on the back 9, i turned it around and found my swing. I now have a good idea of the feel I need to feel to make a good swing. On the back 9, made a 24 foot putt and almost made a 50 foot putt (3 inches short). Back 9 score was 48, but should have been lower, had a blowup hole with an 8.
