Penalty free 78 this morning that was great except a double on 18 🤮. Hit the ball much better then yesterday other then my 3 drives on the back 9 going nowhere near where I wanted them. Finally par on 12 which is one of the toughest par 4s in the area.

There is an inverse relationship between focusing on swing drills and how I play on the course. 
 

Since going Gankas my irons feel so much more solid. They’re also taking the right side of the course out of play and that’s been difficult. My cut that I rely on isn’t there anymore and I’m really trying to find out how hard I want to push. 
 

Played early today and shot 84 with 4 lost balls. Balls that all went left into hazards / OB.

Played one of my best rounds ever and my lowest 9 hole score ever. Shot a 44 on the front 9. That included birdieing the 9th hole when I was thinking about the chance for my lowest 9 hole score. Back 9 wasn't as good, but still decent. Overall score was a 95.

Had a lesson yesterday, really only thing change that was made during the lesson was grip. That really helped out today quite a bit. 

Congratulations!!

Today was a tale of two nines. The front nine was okay...40. The back nine was a different story. We got stuck behind a horrible foursome. We waited 10/15 minutes on every hole.

The twosome behind us pushed us the  whole way. We offered to let them play through and wait on the group ahead just like we were. Instead, they just kept badmouthing us and driving into us the whole nine. After the 3rd time they drove into us, I confronted them and told them I'd gladly shove my driver up their ass if it happened again. I'm old, but I'll stand with anyone if it comes to it.

We ended up calling the club house because they just wouldn't let up. We waited for them in the parking lot and offered to settle it like men. They declined.... what a shock...lol.  I ended up shooting 55 on the back because I was so pissed off.

Not a good day on the course!

I hate when that happens. Sorry to hear that.

First time I ignore. Second time I let them know. Third time I step on the ball and call the pro shop. Forth time I get out my sharpie and write on the ball "next time I hit it back" and sit it up on a tee.  Fifth time you better duck because I'm accurate with my driver.

Wow. Definitely not a fun round. I’ll never be able to grasp the reasons for people to be so rude that they hit into others that are patiently waiting their turn.

Unfortunately yes.  But that was when I lived in NY.  Lets just say it didn't happen again that day. I hit the cart they were standing next to. Message was loud and clear. I guess they didn't take me seriously. 

Well, hopefully they learned to be better people after that one.

... Well it's 2021 and I have seen too many stories about golfers pulling guns. Seen it twice here in Phoenix so you never know who you are gonna run into on a golf course. Played with a guy from Low-weesy-ana that was all of 5'9" and 150 and when I told him the story of the 250lb guy hitting me and not apologizing but saying if the ball hadn't hit me he would be 50 yds further down the fairway so we both lose, the ex-cajun pulled a Glock out of his bag and said he would stand like this (gun at his side) and say "You ready to apologize now MF!?" Reminded me not to confront idiots on the golf course. 

That’s just crazy and potentially scary at the same time. Golf should never escalate to that level.

Tee game was awful, but managed to scrape around an 8-over 78. First tee I legit toe shanked my driver like 150 yards into the middle of the adjacent fairway. Hit a 7-iron just wherever I could manage to get it back on the correct hole, and stiffed an 8-iron to a foot for an unlikely par. Reached the par 5 3rd in 2 shots so I thought my day was about to turn around, and then 3-jacked for par. The rest of the day was one really nice birdie on a 228y par 3, and a bunch of scrambling. First time I've shot consecutive rounds in the 70s, albeit this was a par-70 so idk if that still counts.

In other news, my Bushnell has a brown dot in the viewfinder now, almost exactly on the reticle. From what I read, possibly from overexposure to sun rays? Guess I'm in the market for a new one.

Still nice shooting @B.Bostonhad a similar spot on his range finder, we were thinking possible mold spore maybe? He got it replaced, wonder if ya could get Bushnell to do the same. Unless it’s pretty old

Another out of sync day on the course and poor ball striking.  Rather than just letting my swing flow, I'm forcing it.  I know better, but....  Flying out tomorrow to play in a member-guest with my prior neighbor and best friend -- Diamante CC in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas -- I'd better get my act together.  Practice round Wed, then 3 days of tournament play (better ball, modified Stableford, and Scramble).  Looking forward to playing!

I wish you would get back in sync.  You seem to be rubbing off on me!!  Everything is out of whack!!  And I'm trying to get my swing back in sync for the MGS PNW outing in Spokane starting tomorrow.  

It all started for me last Monday at our Memorial Day couples net better ball.  I didn't hit the ball very well at all, but managed an 82 through some decent scrambling.  My wife didn't play well either.  We managed to finish T-12 at -3, but a "normal" round for us should have been at least -6.  Winning score was -10.

Yep, started this week for me, too.  Last weekend, I struck the ball well.  This weekend, it was like a foreign entity inhabited my body --- one that had never played golf before.  🙂

Not how I played but a comment on some of the up and coming young stars in the game. I volunteered at the SoCal Drive, Chip, and Putt competition over the weekend. Saw some promising young talent. Saw a 15 year old girl drive 240 yards consistently. Saw some 12-13 year old boys hole out their chips from just off the green. N doubt we will be seeing some of these kids on the college circuit and then Korn Ferry and eventually the PGA Tour in the future!
