48/46 94 today. i had a better ball striking day overall but still not great. 

a birdie on 18 sure makes up for a lot of forgettable shots though. 

452yd par 4. hit my best drive of the day and had an even 100 left to the flag. pulled a 52* and stuck it to 4ft.

That's the way to end the round, and as @CarlH said, that'll leave you with a good feeling and make you want to come back for more.

Now that I finally can Post after a stint on the sidelines with the changes to Site.

This morning new 9 to me with really nice greens.  2 birds with 2 over.  Irons were really good, driver wasn’t really cooperating.

Both mornings nice weather slightly humid.

- 33 Putts (4 3-putts, 8 2-putts, 5 1-putts, 1 chip-in Eagle!)

Golf is a funny game.

After going +3 overall on Saturday I was +5 standing on the fourth tee this morning. Hooked my Super Hybrid out of bounds left on No. 3, put my second tee shot behind a tree, landed in the greenside bunker and then three-putted to walk away with a quadruple bogey.

I didn't play poorly, but I hit quite a few tee shots that hurt. I tried to make up for the tee shots by playing some aggressive shapes out from under the trees but had little success (duh... not a surprise). Also, my touch from 50-100ish yards was awful today, which largely led to two of my four three-putts. I think I drop kicked four Super Hybrids from the tee, which is weird because I had a fantastic day with it on the range yesterday.

But, on the bright side, my driver was fantastic and the AutoFlex was shining. I hit a couple really good drives, and one led to a chip-in eagle from behind the green on the par 5 ninth hole.

Beautiful weather for a round. Just need to erase a few really bad holes and my score would be much better looking.

Arccos was awful again. I think I figured it out, however. My Samsung decided to allow the app to sleep. I noticed that if I kept the screen on and in the app it was working OK. I changed the setting and hopefully it will be better from here on out. I had already allowed the app access to the microphone since I had read that could be a problem, too.

definitely funny how the game is. Listened to an Adam young podcast and how even pros can have score spreads of 15-20 strokes. crazy game indeed

Stinky today.  While I hit the ball well, putting was an issue.  Greens were punched and sanded last week and they're horrible right now.  I couldn't get the speed or breaks down, as each seemed totally different from the last.  Posted an 86, mainly due to putting.

... Intriguing round today and it really brought home how important focus, real focus is when trying to score. One of those days where everything was working well but nothing was working great. Could not get close enough for makable birdie putts with a lot of 15 to 20 footers that just didn't fall. 16 straight pars and thought about an 18 par day but ruined it when I holed a 15 footer for birdie on 17.  Really tough but fair 426yd finishing hole that is all uphill from the tee but then all downhill to the green and I had to make a 7 footer to save par on 18 and really grinding out a 4. 

... The course was not crowded at all and we finished in just over 3 hours. So I had the "brilliant" idea to keep playing until I had a bogie. (My back thinks brilliant should be replaced with stupid) This is when the focus really hit me because it is easy to bogie when you don't give every shot your full attention. Trying to play 27 holes without a bogie ain't easy. After a birdie on 19 and a routine par on 20 I hit a good drive on 21 a 430yd par 4 leaving me an in-between yardage so I gripped down 1" on my 7 iron and losing focus for just a miliasecond decelerated knowing I had too much club and pushed my approach shot into some hard pan right of the green AND semi-shortsided. The next 2 shots got my full attention and after a nice running chip bouncing twice in the rough I holed an 8 footer to save par. This one hole made me realize how often I don't give shots my full attention. I mean yea, I give all shots my attention but not my FULL attention when playing socially. 

... After 3 more pars and really grinding out 2 of them I finally bogied a 176 yd par 3, #25 for the day. Pulled my 6 iron and hit the side of an elevated green leaving a brutal pitch that I had to kill in the grass and judge the speed for 10 feet of break. Normally I just take in the shot and give it my best, but really grinding I walked up and looked exactly where I wanted it to land and checked for any irregularities in the grass and tried to analyze how much it would break after landing just short of the green then picking up speed. Downhill and the massive break left me an 8 footer that I missed on the low side. I birdied 26 and had a routine par on 27. 3 birdies and one bogie in 27 holes. I was completely exhausted both mentally and physically. 

Wow. Tales of this will be told around campfires and beer carts for generations.

Kind of a sloppy 41😱

weather gorgeous 65 @ 8:00 Tee Time.  TSi2 driver wasn’t cooperating so switched to G410+ and was killin it.   G710 irons still hanging in there.

I want to buy something new but nothing needs replacement, a feeling I’m unfamiliar with 😱

... There is a pretty big distinction between playing social golf and playing serious golf. Most of the time I am happy to have fun interacting with my partners, enjoy the wildlife, appreciate the walking and play some pretty good golf. Yesterday was not fun, just a non stop grind the last 18 holes. I very rarely have a tournament focus when playing casually because it takes sooooooo much effort mentally. Kinda like what the Pros go through playing a Major, just a 100% focus and they all talk about how exhausting it is playing 4 days in a major and I really respect that kind of dedication and focus.
