Well, the sub 80 run ended today at Mesa Del Sol.  38/43 😥.  4 great birdie attempts on the front but could not get any to drop.  Both par 3's got me for bogies. On #10, I sent my drive wayward right and OB.  #3 off the tee was good but I pushed #4 right and chipped past the hole leaving a slippery, speedy downhill putt - which slipped off the edge and just kept rolling.  In for a quadruple bogey 🤮. I worked much harder keeping things in check the rest of the round and was happy I didn't let it get away from me with a quad, bogey start 🙄.

The guy in the center, second photo will be 90 years old tomorrow!

There's a guy at our club that plays every day in the Men's Club gangsome that is 92; even when it's 40º!!  He plays from the senior White tees.  Last week he shot 91.

Nope, it's a Slazenger.  I think that is a reflection of the cost overruns on that program... remember the $700 toilet seats?

Well, that was because it was Lockheed and not Boeing... amiright?  😂

Awesome!!  Anytime you can shoot your age it’s a beautiful thing.

Shot 75 (39/36) and I can say it was one of my best rounds of the year! 72% of greens was the key, along with some really good 1/2 and 3/4 wedge shots. These Edels are ridiculous. Birdied the par 5 last hole, chipped it up tight for the tap-in. 

I was wondering, as their putters are “rediculous” as well haha.

Had the club winter open on Friday, 4-ball best 2 scores to count. As a team we didn't do so well, steady but not good enough to get into contention. 

I played OK, but drove really well hitting 10/15 fairways.

Highlight was the 1st tee. Been having a bit of banter with the assistant pro about how far I'm hitting the driver and he was the starter on the tee, par 4, 320y to the middle. We waited for our tee-off and said I would go last to wait for the green to clear...

"You don't need to wait, you won't reach the green today" he said....

Cue a perfect drive, arrow straight down the middle. One bounce and rolled about 6 yards on 🙂 

Missed the eagle but tapped in for a birdie...

Played today, shot a meek 93. Wind was brutal and probably took an extra club if not two on each shot, especially approaches. Had chipped a lot better too but today chunked a couple. Was pretty damp from a storm last night but still not an excuse. Tough trend last couple rounds have been in the low 90s, need to get back to the 80s and beyond! 

@Yellow Ballare you hearing this call for help?

... I played a few courses with snowbirds last winter and none of us had played them. Several times we stood on the tee and had absolutely no idea where to hit or drives. Thankfully they were mountain courses so I was riding and I had to drive my cart 200 yds into the fairway to see where to hit our tee shots. Beyond silly. Then one of those courses had several blind approach shots too! Mind boggling that a couple of golfers had recommended that course as one of their favorites. 🙄

Yellow Ball is not an instructor, YB is a destructor. Are you really sure you want my help?

YB doesn't live up north. I have an allergic reaction to getting blue balls. Snow is a four letter word.

YB isn't old enough to retire. I have to work a day job to afford all my trips to haunt you guys. So bear with me if I'm not quick on getting back to you. 

But then again, if I was retired I wouldn't get around as quickly as I do and would be complaining about all my aches and pains like the rest of you old farts!

There is one hole that from the blue and black tees one can’t see ANY part of a fairway, landing area, nothing, it has un-mowed brush as far as the eye can see, literally not even the beginning of a fairway or anything to have an idea of where to aim. It looks like one is facing a field with trees in it… Ridiculous

Met up with RevKev and his mid-20’s friend John. John played the tips while Rev & I played the Whites at Seminole Lakes Country Club. John stayed even all day while Rev bested me. I shot a 47/46:93 and was glad I was able to finish. We were fighting 13 mph winds with gusts up to 22 mph.  All in all, we had a great time.

Why didn’t you tell them about my 300 yard drive. 🙂

Have you played Emerald Canyon in Parker yet?  One drive is through a narrow canyon and up/over a rise of a good 20'.  They do have a spotter that watches and signals it is safe to hit but all one can rely on is the picture of the hole layout on the golf card to know it's straight.  Another hole on the back is blind downhill and very deceiving in layup area distance.  In the days before all our GPS and range finders, you are best served having someone whose played the course let you know about the 80' deep and 100 yard long canyon that is at the end of the runway.

No, you won't get around as quickly as you do now.  I imagine that when you retire, some podunk driving range operator will draw a couple of black lines around you.  It will be easy since most of your dimples will be worn away, but you will still be tormenting golfers of the beginning kind.  With your aches and pains you won't fly as far as you used to, and your ball flight will be a double-breaker!  Of course, on the other hand you could get lucky and end up refurbished, and we all know how well that turns out.  😂
