How'd you play?

A few days late but on Wednesday I got out and shot a best ever score of 85! Didn't really do anything incredible, just played pretty solid golf and was able to scramble when I did get in trouble. No birdies, but only one triple, two doubles, and a bunch of pars and bogeys. Putting is normally my strongest part but had been miserable recently (one round with three 4-putts) but felt good again. Chipping was solid and left myself with some short ones which led to 5 holes with 1 putt or less and 31 total putts for the round. Previous best was 87 and going to par 5 18th at 79 really wanted to get 85. Don't think I hit a shot more than 100 yards on that hole but got up and down for bogey. Now I just need to get in enough work with driver so I can hit that off the tee instead of 3-wood every time!

Congrats on a new personal best.

NICE start !  Good thing you didn't get a condor or albatross, as there'd only have been one direction for the rest of the year to go, and you might as well have put the clubs away 😆

First time out for the year... And birdie on #1!!!

Hit a wedge to 6 feet. The rest of the round was typical thins, left/rights and no short game touch. Did par 6-9 to finish. Course was drier then I've ever seen it this time of year, even with an inch of rain Thursday.

In VA the courses feel really dry/hard as well. Makes chipping/pitching especially difficult

First outdoor round of the year! Did a best ball scramble with some friends, definitely had some rust to knock off the first few holes but settled in really nicely. Excited about the driver, excited about the irons, and excited about my putting! Glad the season is finally here!

Well, I played OK on Thursday at Saddlecreek with the boys. Not anything I'm proud of, but it was about a D game. The S game reared it's head again on Friday at Cypress Creek. Good thing I'm treating these rounds as practice.

I'm play a brand new course on Monday and Wednesday, The National, right next to Panther Run. It's so new that Shotscope doesn't have it in their database, so I'm going to track it for them. I'll try to take a lot of photo's and post a write up on Tuesday.

I went to the course at 10:00 this morning. Pulled in and I was the only car there. Talked to the Pro and he said you have the entire course to yourself. I thought I heard the harps from the angels playing fora minute. Hit a few balls on the range to warm up for a change. Played reasonably well again. Shot one over on the front and one over on the back for a 73. No birdies today but a solid round for me. I can't wait for the grass to turn green.

Here are just two of the reasons I don’t walk the course much. I wonder if those electric trolleys can handle these? There are about 7 holes that have dramatic elevation changes. There are no flat holes everything has an elevation change up or down and some holes have both and a few have three changes.

Wow, I'd not have guessed grass in TN would turn that brown over winter.  Curious why portions of the rough areas are so green?  Nice round.

The rough is a different type of grass than the fairway. The rough stays green all year. The fairways go dormant after first frost and then start to turn green again after there are no more frost mornings. Should start turning green in about two to three weeks. The greens are a different grass as well.  They are green all year.

Another really bad day today...well, the first 10 holes were....3 doubles and a triple -- no penalty strokes involved.  I was just out of sorts, tempo way off, jerky-jerky from the top, and just plain ridiculous swings.  Finally settled down on 12 and started playing golf the way I did not that long ago.  Shot an 85 today, but it was butt-ugly.  13 over par after 11, then even par to close.  Since we've started posting, my handicap index continues to rise as my mid-high rounds in the 70s are being replaced with low-mid rounds in the 80s.  When I reproduce the swing that my coach and I are working on, I hit the ball very well.  When it's off, it's really off, however.  Mainly it's a tempo issue, getting much too fast and trying to hit the ball hard, as well as too much forward slide and not enough turn that gets me into trouble.  When I remember to just slow down and swing within myself, I get the desired results.  I'm just too much of a space-cadet to remember that.  🙂  Even though I am struggling getting this swing down for a more consistent swing, I know it will get there.  Meanwhile, some scores are going to suffer until it becomes a more natural feel to me.

I took the Ping G425 Max out for a spin today (It wasn't the problem with those first 12 holes).  I had hit it on the driving range and also hit my friend's Epic Speed.  The Epic was definitely the longer of the 2 for me.  Alas, I played the round with the Ping.  I found it very forgiving and, for the most part, I kept it in play.  I really disliked the sound and had difficulty determining the quality of the shot based on the sound made.  I felt that I was longer with my own Ping G400, but the regular shaft in the 425 suited my swing better than the stiffer shaft in my own driver.  Yesterday, I played with an Epic Speed LS and felt that it was longer than the 425, as well.

I'm often fighting fast tempo.  For the life of me I cannot figure out why my swing gravitates towards entropy. 

Use this to remind yourself of the one Mississippi, two Mississippi.... seven Mississippi cadence 🤣.

Had an interesting day, a nearly total contrast from my round five days previous.  I'm still hitting the ball dreadfully short, up to two clubs with irons, but I was striking it solidly with my 1980 Golden Rams.  Driver was going largely in the direction I'd intended, with one obvious hook into the water exception on the third hole, and I even hit my hybrid in the direction I'd intended.  Funny how five days makes a difference.

Ran out of gas on the last four holes, bogey/bogey/double for an 82.  Reasonable at this point in the season.

The PM Grind 58* I bought over the winter has been quite lovely.  Nearly holed out from the sand for bird on a par 3, hit a couple lovely short pitches to exact distances....   really liking this stick so far.  🙂

Still a little puzzled at my short game being somewhat decent at this point in the season, with zero practice.

Oh, the Original One still doing the job.  🤘

I love my PM Grind 60º.  Wore the chrome off the sole with bunker shots, and it's my goto club around the greens.  I haven't heard that Callaway is continuing it this year, so I bought a backup new one from my pro shop for $110.

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

There's just something about playing on brown grass. Of course I hadn't ever thought about the differences in certain regions until recently. I saw a post by Pete Pappas on Twitter and the grass in Ohio is already green. This is what we get..20190106_112736-01.jpeg.2e9ed5b7c1ff4033c7a2f93c4b04282a.jpeg
