My wife and I played Caloosa in Sun City Center today. A ho hum 88 for me. The Bermuda grass rough is killing me. At one of the tee boxes this big fellow was watching us. Doesn't look big in the photos but had to be a good 12 feet. My partner was watching him as I was teeing off - didn't want any surprises as my back was turned to him.

I played nine holes today in the Classic Bag Challenge. The course was pretty busy and being a walk up, I figured I might not get to play and was prepared to just hit the range. I got paired up with a gentleman and his son-in-law and had a good time. Josh (the son-in-law) was playing his second ever round of golf and I was happy to be playing with someone new to the game. My favorite moment of the day was him stepping up to the ninth tee and proclaiming he was going to rip it, and he did. The excitement he displayed was a wonderful reminder of why we play this game. 

I didn't play too well, shot a 59 over nine holes with my iron play being the main culprit. I hit the driver well and even hit of couple of shots that impressed the playing partners. I didn't lose a ball, but did have to hit from a couple of nasty lies. My putting was good and I nearly holed a couple of long ones. My game has been a dumpster fire this year, but my putting has been my saving grace.

That’s a great idea! By the looks of it you’re just “snack size”!
SWMBO and I saw one probably similar length last week in a large retention pond near residential area. As soon as the idiots start feeding it it’ll get relocated. There was a 14’ in there last year that was moved to Gatorland.

Not going out today.  Temp dropped to 27º last night and the high is only going to be 40º.  It's 34º now at 10:30am so I'm guessing that there is at least a 2-3 hour frost delay.  That would mean that our 10am tee time won't be until about 1pm... wasted day.  High 40's tomorrow looks a lot better.

I lied!!  I did go out today; got a call about 11am asking if I wanted to walk 9 holes at 1pm.  I am so easy!!  🥴

Temp was 38º.  Birdied #1, and was even par through #8.  Doubled #9, but I blame the flat light, as the sun was not out and it was starting to get a little dark for these old eyes.  Still, +2 for the front nine par 37 is a score I can live with after a lot of bogeys yesterday.

Trying to work on some swing changes and a grip change and of course that means that I played as bad as possible. Couldn't even hit a pitch shot right. Near the end of the round, figured out what was going wrong, then i could at least start to hit pitch shots well again. 

Had a range session after the round. Found that as i have been working on swing changes, my tempo got slow. And when my tempo gets slow, bad things happen. Sequencing gets really really off. So I sped up my tempo while hitting some balls, and of course i hit the ball much better.

Got home and recorded myself doing the parallel to parallel drill that my instructor asked me to work on. I did it with what I think is my good "fast" tempo, but not trying to swing too hard. When I watched the video, this "fast" tempo actually looks really smooth and controlled on video. No wonder my swing sucked out on the course, my tempo must have been like the speed of a loaded up minivan. 

Well done!!  Got the Monte minivan analogy in there.  Good job!!

Haha yeah, but minivan speed on full swing is not necessarily good. I think Monte used the minivan analogy in the Use the Bounce series, right?

Yep!  That's a great short game video; helped me a lot, especially the bunker lessons.  

Had a long bunker shot today...  the bunker is about 35 yards short of the green and the pin was in the back, another 20 yards.  Most bunker shots are relatively short greenside shots, but this bunker is set back away from the green.  I am normally short of the bunker on this short par 4, but today with a little breeze and firming up fairways, my ball rolled in.  I decided my 54º wasn't enough, so used my PW; opened it up a little and made my normal bunker swing... flew it all the way to the hole.  Just like Monte showed me.

It is all relative to expectations but it is all relatable no matter how good or bad of a player someone is. I completely understand where you are at with you game and how shots you hit well one minute become terrible the next. My definition of a bad shot is just narrower than yours.

Yep!  We are all at different skill levels and obviously have different expectations.  I have good chipping days and bad chipping days.  Some days the ball checks up when I don't want it to, and some days it doesn't when I want it to check.  Generally, I am happy if I can chip to within 6 feet, but like them to be closer.  🥴

Just past the entrance to my development on the main road (Hwy 17) there's a place called Alligator Adventure. It turns out the man who owns the Barefoot Golf complex built it as a place to put all the gators they "relocate" from the property. His son runs the place, and it's one of the most popular tourist attractions in town. (money goes to money...) 

We see them all the time down here. Some courses are loaded with them (Caledonia for example I saw over ten of them). I've been here almost 10 years now, and I've never seen nor heard of a gator attacking a golfer. Granted, there are probably stories of when it's happened, but I'd be willing to bet it was because the person was dumb enough to provoke the gator.

One thing about living down here, you see all kinds of wildlife. Everything from black bears, panthers, eagles, hawks, gators, all kinds of snakes, and perhaps the ugliest animal I've ever seen, the turkey vulture. From what I've seen, if you don't bother them, they won't bother you...

When we had our condo in Surfside Beach we saw many Gators. Barefoot Landing had gators w no fence and people we’re walking around w little kids!! The old waterway hills & Arrowhead had many gators.
The only gator attacks I know of here are on the little dogs that some people walk right next to ponds. Not the gator fault.

When I was in the service and stationed at Charleston Naval Base, we'd often go to the Naval Weapons Station golf course. There were ALWAYS gators adorning the fairways.  One particular hole had a fair size pond that you needed to lay up to.  Often 5 or 6 gators lazed out in front of the pond.  Didn't want to lay up TOO close to the pond 🙂

Played 9 holes with my Monday walking buddies.  Started par, birdie, bogey, double.  Is that "hitting for the cycle" in golf?? 

Ended up +3 for a 40 on a nice fall day.  Mounds very typical on my course make for interesting lies.

We've had a pretty bad week rain wise so the course has struggled to get us on 18 holes. Last couple of rounds we play 11 holes then restart and play another 7. They have also requested us to walk and carry if possible to protect the course. So it is 4 layers of clothes on top, snood, beanie hat, golf mitts, waterproof trousers and golf boots with stinger cleats  but I'm still out playing. Chipping is particularly difficult at the moment you just can't predict how the ball will react on the 1st bounce, sometimes it rolls out others it just digs in and rolls 6 inches.

Saturday only lasted 14 holes, 15mph wind and a squall came in and just soaked us. Still managed a decent score in trying conditions of 6 over   

Today 5 over for 18 without really making a putt, had my Mavrik Driver back with the lengthen shaft and this seems to be doing the trick, striking the ball really well. 17th is a 275 yd par 4, down wind I can just about make it, putting for eagle twice on it today (missed them both). 

Going to try and play the next 3 days forecast is cold but dry so hopefully get a decent score or 2.

263 3 wood, and like 266 driver.  

This is not uncommon for me. Not all the time but there are holes or times that due to the landing angle my 3w will go almost as far as my driver. My driver is almost all carry but 3w has the added benefit of roll. Not sure if that's the case with you but I wouldn't focus a lot on it.

Just makes me wonder why I would ever pull the driver.  My miss with the thing is round ruining.  The 3 wood miss is not nearly as bad.

If it is always that way then yes I would question it, if it is rare then you should be ok. 

 

I play a public course most Sunday's. 10th hole is a 400ish yard par 4 with a landing area that is slightly downhill (maybe 5 feet total downhill). There is a bunker at 295. Driver goes in it, so I drop to 3w, which ends up rolling to about 5 yards of it, and I have hit it in it, so I drop back to driving iron and it still gets within 10 yards of it. Haven't hit the driving iron in it yet, but on paper there is 60 yards or more between DI and driver but in reality there are instances where that gap shrinks immensely.

If it is always that way then yes I would question it, if it is rare then you should be ok. 

 

I play a public course most Sunday's. 10th hole is a 400ish yard par 4 with a landing area that is slightly downhill (maybe 5 feet total downhill). There is a bunker at 295. Driver goes in it, so I drop to 3w, which ends up rolling to about 5 yards of it, and I have hit it in it, so I drop back to driving iron and it still gets within 10 yards of it. Haven't hit the driving iron in it yet, but on paper there is 60 yards or more between DI and driver but in reality there are instances where that gap shrinks immensely. 

Yeah, I hit a 3 iron off the tee today further than a driver... I’ve never liked drivers, actually never liked a 3 wood either, but this thing is my go to. 3 wood was going further than the driver before I messed around with the weights,  I didn’t even use the dang thing at the beginning of the season.  No point.

Been hooking my 2 Hybrid off the planet, so it is in time out. And getting a letting more right to left out of the t100s than I’d like to see on a stock shot.  I’ve tried a few little things to reduce it, but I don’t think I can hold the face off any longer without hoseling them...

39/40 w/30 putts yesterday at Las Barancas.  We teed off at 1155 and finished at 1430.  The courses at midday times are near deserted.  We did have a group behind us but we spaced a hole+ soon after starting... and no one in front that we could see.

The guys are loving the quick play but one commented that he's starting to feel a little cheated as we're heading back home so fast.  Too fast, too slow, too big, too small... we bipeds gripe about almost everything 😆.
