Played a round today with a buddy from work and his son who's just picking up the game after years of playing baseball. He actually hit the green on the par 5 3rd in 2 and had his first chance at an eagle putt. He didn't make it, but did tidy up for a nice birdie. 

I shot 58/57 for a 115. Everything was off today, I hit 2 fairways, no greens, and had 39 putts including 4 3 putts. I didn't hit a decent iron shot until the 12th hole, I was just scooting the ball along the ground for most of the round. 

On the bright side, I did hit my fairway woods decently, including a cart path aided 223 yard approach on the 18th. Sure, I was almost green high on a par 5 in two, but it also took 6 more shots after that to put the ball in the hole. The most pure 5 wood I hit hit a tree and literally took 5 seconds to drop straight down. Should have taken my medicine and just punched out.

I'm not disappointed in the scoring, I've been working on swing changes and the overlap with my current swing had me feeling like I'd never played before. It'll get better, just got to go through a rough patch before the magic happens. 

It was a fun, beautiful day to be on the course and I really enjoyed the company. 

 

Sounds like you were able to enjoy the round and see another learning the ropes!  Glad you had a good time despite the scoring. Going through swing changes and playing can be tough. We could all benefit from your ability to realize that and just enjoy the round.

I live in Barefoot Resort in N. Myrtle Beach. Some of you might remember us hosting a season of The Big Break on Golf Channel a few years back.

One of the challenges was playing shots through the opening of a brick wall from the remains of an old Plantation home that surround portions of the green on one par 4 on the Love Course.

Plenty of second shots that come up just short end up either against or close to the 2 foot wall. The rule here is “integral part of the golf course”. Either play it or take an unplayable.
Same thing goes for another driveable par 4. It has an ivy covered six foot high wall surrounding 1/2 the green. Players can actually lose their drives or second shots in the ivy, or hit them up against or over the wall. Again, we play it as it lies or take an unplayable.

I played the Love and Norman courses at Barefoot many years ago and I remember those plantation remains.  I didn't remember how they were treated by the rules probably because they didn't come into play for us. 

The one thing I do remember about those courses was how fast they drained and became playable.   Right before we were to tee off in a Father / Son tournament there was heavy rain all morning.  We only had to wait about 1/2 hour after it stopped raining for the course to drain and get clearance to tee off.  I remember the water from quite a few fairways running together into streams to the storm water drains.

Finally got to play CAPITAL G G-O-L-F for the first time in 3 weeks. No fat shots, no flooded fairways, yes it's still soft, but I could hit down on the ball and get the shot I expected.

79 with 1 birdie. Had a few wild shots but this was kind of a recalibration round. Going back for more tomorrow.

First one off this morning on a pretty brisk day.  

76 with 3 birdies 3 bogeys and two doubles.

11/14 fairways, 8/18 greens and 28 putts.

Putting the 50* in my bag was a smart move...Scrambling was just as good as my tee ball today.

I’ve got to expand my “today”, to this “week”

I played good, darn good. I’m hitting on all cylinders, and except for a few brain farts, shooting about scratch.

most exciting part of it all is the new putter. And I say new, because it put my Evnroll on the bench after it’s first round.

her name is Adele. And I love her… 🥰 to see why, please read my initial review… I didn’t think it would be like this, but what can I say..

Absolutely. They are good with outings, too - there was a group of 8 in the 2 foursomes in front of us the first day. Maybe we should plan an MGS summit there some day.

A lackluster round today, shooting a 40/42.  Our greenskeeper is really pouring the water to our course and it's soggy and the greens soft and slow.  I always seem to struggle with my putter on slow greens and today was no exception.  Ball striking was mediocre today, as well.  Nothing to blame there except myself.  🙂

50/43 93

8 fairways, 4 greens, 33 putts. 

it took me the whole front 9 to figure out the wind and the extremely penal rough at Trump Links. the back 9 went a lot better. 

putter was hot today, drained 25 and 18 footers and only had one 3-putt. 

3w was money off the tee.

irons were hot garbage.

80 (42/38) yesterday at Tenison Park in Dallas. Joined-up with a young man on the first tee and enjoyed the round. The only issue was he started standing RIGHT behind me on the tee box and I didn’t have the heart to ask him to move. Every time he did it I hit a crap tee shot. Ugh. Why do people do that??? Stand out of sight of the person teeing off!!!

Yup annoying, It’s worse for LH.  Some guys forget and they will be looking at at you, even a few feet forward.

An extremely "meh" 81 today. Conditions were really good for scoring, but everything was just a little off. Had a couple really great shots, but a lot of under average and one or two really silly mistakes that led me to doubling 2 holes. I did putt really well though! Made a lot of 5-15 footers, and burned some more edges too.

... Sluggo, Tierra Rejada is one of my favorite courses for the views. #8 really is spectacular. A little quirky but a ton of fun. Fyi first time I played there I said I was gonna walk because I use a remote cart. Guy in the clubhouse said "you really don't wanna do that" and I replied that I am in great shape and love walking. He smiled and offered me a deal. Take a cart for the front 9 and if I felt like it would have been a better choice to walk, I could walk the back 9 and he would comp my next round but I would have to walk. Stopped in after 9 and thanked him for saving me from myself. 🤪

... As you know walking would have been a huge mistake. #8 alone would take 45 minutes to walk and make it to the #9 tee box LOL. 

No kidding. Superman couldn’t walk that track. But the views are astounding, aren’t they? It’s a thinking mans track too, play it smart, and score better.

Another 79 this morning at home, but it was more guts & grinding then yesterday. Much more humid and I started hitting dwild shots on the back 9. No doubles or birds today. Finally got a par on #12, which is one of the hardest par 4s on the west side. The #16 tee shot is currently living rent free as the kids say.

I have completed my mission. Two weeks ago I reported in with a goal to break a 1.0 handicap this season. Typicially when you feel something great about to happen the golf gods throw a monkey wrench in. Well not this time. I tied my seasons low scores with another 68 this morning. After entering my score it said my pending handicap is a .8.  I started off the season with a 1.6 and it grew to a 2.0. But since May 3rd it has consistantly dropped by small increments. What a great morning for me. Driving great, short game was spot on and my putting was superb. I even had one of the grounds crew drive up and complement me. He said "it looks like you are having a good round today, I've seen some of your shots". 

I got my goal accomplished just in time to start the Maxfli ball testing. The pressure is off for the season. I'll laminate my GHIN card when the update comes out and put it in my golf photo album to be part of my golf history. Mission accomplished!

 

 

Congratulations Tom! That's really a great accomplishment and after seeing the way you navigate a golf course, I had no doubt you'd do it. I can't wait to see a photo of your GHIN card commemorating the occasion.
