How'd you play?

[DiscipleofPenick]

Played at home this morning only moved up to the whites, playing with sober older guys who are also regulars. Double bogey on the opening 305 yard par 4 ( hit hybrid instead of driver and stuck under a tree) but then kick in birdies on #4 & #5 righted me. Missed a short bird on #9 but even par. Back 9 things got away from me a little bit with balls in the hazards on #15 & #16, shot 41 but rallied to par last two and another short birdie miss on 18.

[fozcycle]

Played Pebble Creek GC today. I shot 40/45:85 with 2 birdies, #8 & #10.

I lost my 2nd shot in hazard on Par 5 #8. So I drop a ball about 106 yards from the pin and holed it with my 50* Cleveland Zipcore.  It was a penalty birdie!

 

[Curtis Atkinson]

Got out on this warm afternoon for a round with a buddy. Guy I play with the most who started playing around the same time and most similar game. First time I think we've both shot in the 80's during the same round with him shooting a best of 84 and me one off my best round with an 86

• 43/43 = 86 (+16)
• 1/14 FIR (7%)
• 7/18 GIR (39%)
• 36 putts (3 3-putts, 12 2-putts, 3 1-putts)
• Highlight: On the last hole I was left of the fairway just up against the outside edge of some trees and decided rather than punching out to try to open up my club face and fade (slice) a PW up and over and ended up just off the front. Highlight was probably my buddy's 3 hole birdie streak which all included birdie putts over 10 feet.

Nice!!  Brings back memories!  I was in Phoenix for a meeting the July after that rock was moved for Tiger.  As a then 16 handicap I birdied 15, got up and down out of the left bunker for par on 16, parred 17 from right of the green, and parred 18 from the rough by the fairway bunkers on the right.  So, one under par over the last 4 holes.  I don't remember any of the other holes on the course, but I will always remember those 4 holes.  Oh... and the round cost $52.

Yeah I totally skunked 16 and pulled it left. I would have been boo'd and probably had a drink poured on my while chipping.  It's super cool though to imagine the stadium stands and put yourself in that moment. 

17 however, I was the only 1 of 4 who drove the green. I put it about 3' on the front right corner. Missed a 12' putt for Eagle but put it within 1' to drop a birdie. Driving the green for birdie totally made up for 16.

Busy holiday weekend with golf! Walked 18 on Friday, Sunday, Monday and this morning and also managed to get out for two seven-hole practice rounds with the wife. My legs are feeling it - I figure I've walked about 50 miles in the last week on the golf course.

Playing really well, sometimes the scores just aren't following. I'm hitting the ball wonderfully and having a blast so that's all that really matters:

• Friday: 42/38 = 80 
• Sunday: 40/37 = 77
• Monday: 37/43 = 80 (Bummed on this one - took a triple on No. 17 after hitting my drive OB left!)
• Tuesday: 44/38 = 82

One of these rounds I'm going to go low on both the front and back and have a really nice score for me. So close!

I mentioned over in the "What are you practicing thread?" that the 60/60/100 drill from Chris Ryan has been a huge help for my ball striking. I'm starting to see some better distance out of my irons and especially with my hybrid and driver from the tee. Now, just to keep the driver in play more often...

[Wolverine784]

Finally decompressed (and dried out) from the 12 man golf trip to Northern Michigan at the end of June. I won't bore you with all the details but wanted to share a few highlights and help anyone out that might be thinking of golfing up in Petoskey.

Friday - Was fortunate that the rain storm let up enough to play Blythefield CC (home of the LPGA Meijer Classic). All of their improvements put in over the last year paid dividends and there were only a few holes were finding a dry place to hit from was difficult. Great track to walk and very appreciative of my rain gloves so I could shoot a mid 80s round that I will take given the conditions.

Saturday - Crooked Tree - Rain, Rain, Rain. Probably the worst conditions I have ever been a part of. I stopped tracking my round half way through b/c the conditions were a bit comical at times. We made it thanks to some decent drainage and lots of gear but next time, I will quit when it gets to that point of saturation. The best stat of the day was it took 2 days by a fireplace to dry my shoes.

Sunday - Bay Harbor (Preserve/Links) - This course is one of the nicest and most picturesque I have played. Some holes had me feeling like I was back at Bandon Dunes. Definitely a learning curve on some holes on where and what you can hit to be safe but whenever I had a bad shot, there was a view of the lake to calm me down. Putting woes continued as the greens dried out and speed was an issue but I will take the 85 and money I won.

Monday - Bay Harbor (Links/Quarry) - Another magical round with views that are hard to top. If I was going to play one of the 9s twice, Links would be my pick and I did 4 shots better with some course knowledge (and a driver that didn't flare to the right). More consistent green speed helped as well thanks to no rain for a couple days. If you golf in northern Michigan (and you don't mind splurging a bit) play Bay Harbor a couple times to get in all of the 9s but if you can only do one 18, make it the Links/Quarry. Managed an 83 and a few dollars in my pocket thanks to a skin, CTP, and some of my trip mates having some blow up holes.

Tuesday - Boyne Monument - The last day is always a tough one as the consumption leaks from your pores but besides a woeful first and last hole, this was by far my best round on the trip. The course is carved through a forest for much of the 18 but the greens are what made it tough. Quickest and most severe of the trip but my speed issues were cured a bit since I was leaving everything short the other days. The 83 was good enough for 4th in our secret partner calcutta and secured my positive winnings for the weekend.

I always forget about Boyne when planning an up north get away but I won't sleep on it in the future. Great golf, fair accommodations, and some views that are second to none.

Very nice!! How'd you manage to get on at Blythefield CC? One of your group is a member I'm assuming? I drive by it on the way to my parents and have to wipe the drool off my mouth everytime...

I played like crap trying to work on my sub70 review. It was the only club I was hitting well! Had to stop playing because my back tightened up horribly and I can’t turn much. 

[Berg Ryman]

An 82 this weekend in my skins game, 40-42. Plus 5 each side. Highlight of the round, fewest putts I've taken this year with 30, but a late round hiccup (double, triple on a water ball) cost me that 70's round I know was coming. Also had a chip in for eagle on our short par 4, little bump and run 8 iron... perfect speed, won me a skin of $4 dollars.

I also played the round with the Srixon Q Star Yellow Divide in Blue and Yellow. Here's my review of the ball, played like a Q Star Tour, maybe not as grabby on the pitch shots as I thought with the urethane matte cover, but I'm comparing it to a ball like the Pro V1X. I enjoy using the Divide to putt and chip as the blue and yellow is very striking visually for the short game stuff. However, and this won't be a surprise, hard to find if it's primarily blue facing up in the fairway or rough. Heck, I hit a shot onto a green that was blue side up and I didn't see it until I was like 5 feet away from it.

So the Divide? It's a decent ball for casual play, or even some competitive play, but get it in red/yellow or orange/yellow if you plan on playing. If you're looking to practice, I'd say go for the blue/yellow over the other colors.

[M. Parsons]

Los Altos - ABQ, NM 43/44-87, 15/19-34putts (4,3-putts) 4/14 fairways, 4/18 greens, 8-pars, 5-bogeys, 5-doubles

Played a 5-club challenge yesterday and used my 3W, 5-iron, 9-iron, 54* and putter.  I would've liked for the putter to stay alive like it was on the front, but it just didn't happen.  One of those doubles came from hitting my tee shot OB on a par-5, so I had to hit 3 from the tee box...got on in 2 from there and 3-putted.

I played with a bunch of guys...4 tee times in all, and we did a low net 3 score for skins.  Basically you add up the 3 lowest net scores for each hole from your foursome, and if it's the lowest score your foursome gets the skin.

... Continuing my experiments like old Golf Forums used to do, I shafted up my Cleveland 588TT's with VS Proto 85gm shafts. Still way too light and I have swing tempo issues. I also miss the trajectory control my MIM/T100S irons produces. For me the 588TT's with a thin face and thicker soles just want go high and for me at least tend to go left, which I imagine is more a shaft issue than a head issue. 

... As an aside I am still learning about Phoenix, heat and desert weather and course conditions. Dealing with 60-80% humidity and higher growing up in the south and living just miles away from Lake Michigan, it can get very uncomfortable in the low 90's and 100 is just crazy hot. Had my first day of dripping sweat here in Phoenix last week and was shocked to find out the humidity was 28%?!? Seems 4-9% humidity in the desert is more the normal and of course I sweat, but it dries before forming on my skin. Even 18% humidity gets a little sweaty. So 110* with 4-8% humidity isn't bad at all while 105 with 28% borders on too hot to play. Just through some might find this interesting as it has been a real learning weather experience for me. That said, I would still trade 115* and 28% humidity with sunshine and greenery for wind chills below zero, snow covered ground, with barren trees and no sunshine for up to 30 days in Chicago.

"It's a dry heat!"  I grew up in hot and humid Arkansas, and I've been living on the dry side of things just long enough to feel like I was going to die the last time I played golf in Arkansas in May in 94* & 100% humidity...and that was back in 2018.  But I do miss the green...at least I can keep my clubs looking newer for longer in a humid climate...I know, keep it in the fairway and I won't have that problem.

Lived in the Phoenix area for over 25 years and just played TPC Stadium course for the 1st time. Shot a respectable 81 but was working the scramble like a short order cook! Driver was on a rope all day but I couldn't hit the greens to save my life. 

 My buddy didn't quite get the help tiger did but nearly had the same shot..

Stadium hole #16.. I would have been boo'd 

 

Finally, I didn't make the same mistake that I made when I played Poppy Hills a couple weeks go. I got some schwag! 

 

As much as it costs to put those stands up around #16, I would've thought those were a staple.

Nice looking hat!

Thanks! I've been seeing a lot of progress in my swing and that's made me really happy. Feels like something clicked for the first time in a long time.

I use the free photo editor GIMP to create a single image with multiple layers (each its own screenshot from my Arccos app) and then save as an animated GIF. Photoshop process would be similar, I think. I'm sure there are also some online editors than can do it as well. I set the interval to four seconds.

I hear you!  Still 102 and 16% humidity today. I've lived here for 51 years and I've gotten used to the dry heat in the summer.  The nice thing is that most years I can play golf every day in the winter.  Sure, it's cold but usually not much precipitation.  I grew up on the wet side of Oregon, and if I were still there, I likely would not have taken up golf, as I hate slogging in the rain.

... I have only walked off a golf course twice due to the heat. Many years ago playing in Myrtle Beach the temp hit 102 with about 90% humidity and not a hind of a breeze. I was playing alone and a ranger came around when I was on 12 and said they were closing the course due to the heat and I was the only one left on it LOL. They said just place the cart key in the slot at the shed and leave the cart parked there. I played 2 more holes and decided enough was enough and got there just as the last guy was leaving so gave him the key and went back to the ocean and could not jump in with my kids fast enough. Similar scenario in Chicago, 105* and very high humidity and the course was pretty empty so I flew around til hole #13 when I caught 2 foursomes so I just kept driving to the clubhouse. I really should not have played either day...

[fozcycle]

Tuesday morning game at Plantation Palms GC(my new home).  With Elsa on the horizon we only had 9 Players.  The course was not as sloppy as I thought it would be……just wait until Thursday after the storm and rain.  Today I shot 49/43:92.  Putter was hot on the first 5 holes then went cold.

[Kenny B]

OK, not me... I stayed home today.  However, my wife played in a Ladies Golf Outing at our only private club in town...  Meadow Springs Country Club.  She wasn't going to play in this event, but one of the ladies from our club had surgery and the entry fee was paid.  

The Course:   The 18-hole "Meadow Springs" course at the Meadow Springs Country Club facility in Richland, Washington features 6,957 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. The course rating is 73.3 and it has a slope rating of 132 on Rye grass. Designed by Robert Muir Graves, ASGCA, the Meadow Springs golf course opened in 1971.  This course used to host a Korn Ferry Tour event each year for many years backed up to the Albertson's Boise Open.

This ladies event had 82 entrants.  My wife was the low gross of the ladies from our Columbia Point GC with an 88 and a net 71.  Course rating/slope from the Forward tees is 69.2/120. The low net was 66 by a member of Meadow Springs... duh!!  My wife has been trending in the right direction ever since her lesson with Monte in March.

[CarlH]

Kind of a "meh" day.  40 on the front (started off with a double on the opening hole) and 41 on the back (again with an opening double).  I was striking the ball okay, but my partial shots felt jerky and wasn't making crisp contact, flubbing several pitches.  No birdies, despite having several opportunities.  Played before the high heat hit.  Think it was about 95 when we finished about 1:30.

Yeaaa…

say what you will about the zany politics and gnarled expense of so. California, but the weather is always close to perfect here…. I’d move, but nowhere else can replicate this weather…

[Sluggo42]

I’m telling ya, Evan (my evnroll er3) is scared silly about the Edel fitting on Thursday, and doing his best to stay the main dog in my bag. I had 8 birdies today, (6 on the back 9) and others were close. 28 putts, but unfortunately didn’t score very well overall considering how it could have been a PB had I not had 7 bogies as well…. But best ever birdie total.
I should say, that the custom fit Edel EAS will have his work cut out for him, the ER3 is no joke…

Of anywhere on the course that has stands, I wish they would keep them up for 16. Walk through and all. That would only add to the experience of playing there.

Love the shameless plug for the Edel fitting/testing! Mine's Thursday too and I can barely sleep at night! I actually look forward to going to work and being too busy to daydream about the putter and the whole fitting process. 

I know my Cleveland HB Premier isn't anything fancy but it's scrappy as hell and will definitely put up a fight to stay in the bag!

I know it's not So Cal but we're still holding our breaths that next year at this time the rental market will have chilled out in Monterey so we can pull the trigger and move. Just in the last 12 months it's blown up by about 30% and shot our budget all to hell. According to a buddy in the area, the techies from up north flooded the area once they could start working from home and wanted to escape the rat race.. so that jacked up the market. 

Weather there is slightly cooler but it's golf/outdoor season all year round. It's a hefty price to pay for physical and mental health but worth every penny if one can afford it.

• 46/45 = 91 (+19)
• 6/14 FIR (43%)
• 8/18 GIR (44%)
• 42 putts (1 4-putt, 6 3-putts, 9 2-putts, 2 1-putts)
• Highlight: Still using 3-wood off the tee the majority of the time as I work to tame the driver on the range and work it in occasionally. On a par 5 and stripe a 3-wood off the tee and left with ~240 to the center so I decide to have a go with 3-wood from the fairway. Don't see it at all, but felt like I hit it well so I decide to drive up and look. I crest the hill and see my ball sitting just on the edge of the green in 2 with absolutely no look at the hole for eagle! Lol.

Personally 110 is the absolute max that I can handle with dry heat. Anything more than that, I'm staying home. Phx/Desert golf in mid summer is definitely its own animal for sure and shouldn't be done without preparation. 

Here are the 3 things that I find I can't live without (Stu's Desert Golf Survival Kit) 

This is a 1 gallon double walled water jug. $25-$30 at Walmart. That's insanely cheap for a 1 gallon jug and the thing's a beast! I'll drink one of these + 2 - 32 oz bottles of Body Armor in a round. 

Electrolytes.. and more specifically, these Trace Mineral drops. The bottle's kind of pricy but these are a lifesaver for me as I have a tendency to get pretty gnarly cramps after spending too much time in the high heat. I take these as a daily supplement in my water and they are far better than any electrolyte drink IMO. I'll hydrate the day before and also add about 50 drops to my gallon of water. The bottles lasts a good while so it's also worth the price. 

Lastly, another life saver is the Chilly Pad by Frog Toggs. This is probably the best cooling towel that I've found. If you have a cart with an ice chest, just keep it in there in between uses and it's like air conditioning when you use it. Even without ice, it holds about 15* cooler temp than the air and that's a decent enough of a difference when you need it.
