I took an older Tad Moore putter out this morning. Took a couple holes to get used to 340gr weight. Nice putter, need to take it out more often.

Which Tad Moore?   Great putters;  have been thinking about getting one.

Man.. 2 strokes away from getting a new badge!!

the more I practice, the luckier I seem to get..

[CarlH]

Arrrrghhh!  It's SO frustrating.  I shot 39 on the front with 2 double bogeys, then had 2 more doubles on the back to record a 42 --- 81 with 4 doubles!  I'm blaming it on @KennyB.  He's jinxed me!  And all of these doubles are just stupid errors.  No penalty strokes involved....bad shot here, bad shot there, yada yada yada.

I'm so familiar with rounds like these, my middle name might as well be "if I hadn't made double." 

One day we'll figure it out and live in the 70s!

I’ll take couple pics. This putter maybe 15-20 years old.
Tad does a great job and he’s really into the wood shaft Classic game.

Those doubles really kill your round.   Just like you if I could turn the doubles into bogies,  I would feel so much better.

I had one of the 1st Production Cobalt putters.   I love the putters he has been making recently;  probably should have bought one on the used marketplace when there were more available.   Since puttertalk went away, I don't see many of them available any more.   I follow his instagram and he is still pumping them out.

Beautiful putter love the hosel!   Custom made for you since I see it has a welded neck?

Neck, welding and plating done by Lamont for Tad.
I requested the neck. Plating nickel/Teflon.

It’s always 2 holes for me (doubles as well) just totally derails. Some day....some day

Windy, sloppy day for golf. Standing water on the fairways, cart path only, high winds and to top it off we ended up with rain halfway through the back. 47 on the front and a 45 on the back - not good but not horrible given the conditions. .

Worst hole was a par 3 on the back where I carded a triple. Kinda tough to hit a good tee shot when the rain is pelting your face. Tee shot end up in a greenside bunker and then took 3 shots to get out wet sand.

So I got permission from the doctor to hit balls on Friday - that was a rocky start. Lots of ground balls and ugly stuff but started to find it.

So my wife said I could play today after church if I brought dinner home.

Tee’d off at 2 in serious wind ancon and off drizzle - 6 iron on 3 from 140, 6 iron on 5 from 175 kind of wind. Turned in 41. But I found something on 7 that held on the back where I shot 35.

Not bad for a guy who hadn’t played since January 5th on very difficult course. My only bogey on the back came on the bayou hole. 185 over a Bayou, I hit my 7 wood over, beautiful pitch to 8 feet and nasty lip out.

It was so wet that I felt like Captain Ahab half the time on the back

Glad to hear you're back at it, Rev!

Shot a meh 85

8/14 fir

7/18 gir

33 putts with 2 really horrible 3 putts

Couldn't really do much today except surprisingly hit driver. Put the Motore back in because I've been too lazy and busy to send it back to @dlow206 and found the middle of the driver pretty regularly. Unfortunately I didn't hit many greens to capitalize, and couldn't scramble for sh*t and put up a sorry number.

Sunday TSi fitting . If I hit the SIM as well as I did today it's going to need to be really really good for me to switch.

[fozcycle]

Shot 39/44:83 today with two Birdies! #1 hdcap par 4 hole #4 and #8 hdcap Par 4 hole #10. The Pushcart Mafia was out in full force today with 4 of us pushing. I got tired on the back nine and doubled the last two holes. Otherwise the weather was in the 60’s and very comfortable.

3 birdies took care of the triple bogey I took on #3 when I hit my tee shot OB, but they didn't help the rest of the game.  80.

Not really that close, camera makes it look closer.
But that doesn’t mean they haven’t been hit.

We had an unexpected cancellation of work today, so I went out for the first time in a month and played nine. I shot 49, hitting only one fairway, 3 greens, and had 23 putts. 

My putter really killed my chance for a good round, usually it's my strength and today it was brutal. I had 5, count them, 5 three putts. I'm usually not one to change putters, but this had me considering it. I will say the greens were rolling slower than I'm used to due to a bit of rain. I just could not get one to go. 

This was my first round out with my HZRDUS Smoke Black shaft in my driver and it performed so good today. I only hit one fairway, but most of my misses were just in the rough. I did have one I blocked and another in the first tee that I duck hooked, but after settling down it was money. 

My irons were good today, all the practice I've put in with the Spornia net is starting to pay dividends. I got into my bad habits a couple of times, but was able to quickly remedy those. 

My biggest problem on my approach shots was my fairway woods and me knowing better not to hit them with the ball above my feet. I've got to quit doing that, I hit some shots that would make Francesco Molinari proud.

I'm sounding a lot like a broken record with my winter rounds --- 4 double bogeys for an 81.

I know, right?  It's so frustrating.  I should only play 14 holes.

Whenever a shot gets topped we should yell Francesco!!  like the old commercial for spaghetti sauce!  

[Vegan_Golfer_PNW]

Shot a cold 9 hole 46 today. Should have been lower as on the 4 GIRs I made no birdies and had a bogey. Ball striking much improved and the super hybrid is money. Although I did almost sink a 40 ft birdie attempt on 18.

We picked up a new player on Tuesday & Fridays. Put him in my 4some to see what’s going on on. B4 the round we’re getting the “shoot mid 80’s on home course in MD 7,700 yds”!! Really......
Checked out his clubs( Titleist T200 irons all brand new with Cally woods). He’s a good 15 years younger than most of us.
Welllll, after 4 holes I couldn’t help myself, told him to slow down and just play his game. He was everywhere except on the course and not very far. Dunno if he even got even a double.
Golf is a humbling game.
