I lasted 6,000+ up to 3 years ago.  The guys just decided that it wasn’t fun playing from Those Tees.  
We’re all enjoying the shorter Tee boxes.  

 

I should move up to the senior tees... maybe next spring.  Problem is that my wife and I play with other couples and friends that are 20-25 years younger than I am, and they like playing from our Blues tees.  I've been playing there for the past 6 years, and I can navigate around the course pretty well most of the time.  Our sister course is longer, but actually easier to play than our course... if I played from the senior tees!!  Should have!

We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.”

Actually the younger guy 65-70 suggested we move up a Tee box.  I didn’t argue.  
On the Execs we all moved up maybe 2-21/2 years ago.  Lately a couple guys have even moved up even one more.  Whatever they want fine with me if it makes them keep up with the group.  
At this point I’m all about everyone having a good time.

*** Personal Best Alert 74 ***

I don't know what's going on of late. My level of play over the past handful of rounds has been as good as its ever been.  We played Mesa Del Sol yesterday and I tied my personal best from over 30 years ago with a 37/37 😊.  2 bogies and one birdie on the front and one bogey on the back.  The guys I played with are not our groups better golfers and, when we got in after the round to have a beer, they insisted I transfer my score onto a clean card - saying "we don't want our train wrecks tarnishing that performance" 😁.

They mentioned how consistent I was hitting everything and that I hit every fairway and green in regulation.  I knew I hadn't, so we went back through the round and annotated those on the new card. The tally; 13/14 FIR and 12/18 GIR. 32 putts and no penalties.  Putting for birdie more often and having short putts for pars is a game I hope stays with me a while longer.

Congratulations and welcome to the elusive "Bounce Back Club". This club is reserved for those that have been ripped apart by Yellow Ball and turned your game around to shut him up. I probably shouldn't have just opened that can or worms but he already beat me down and I bounced back.

Played Friday and this morning 9.  I’m at the “bottom” of the Roller Coaster ride again.  Both mornings cold (43-46) light wind.  First 3 holes really bad , all over the place then kind of straighten out.  I still haven’t gotten thru my thick skull that when it’s that cold to add a club or 2.  
Greens both courses were not bad, cut both mornings and were rolling decent.  Made a couple decent putts to save Par.

Tomorrow morning Weatherman is threatening 39*!!  Not pleasant for this group of Ole Farts.

Dang, that sounds way too much like the weather we ran from last month.  No doubt has the citrus growers on edge 😬.

Raised from a pup in Ft. Lauderdale and we and most neighbors had orange, grapefruit, lemon, and a mango trees.  Those made for some hellishly good overripe dodge-fruit fights. 🙂

Tuesday morning 39* @ Tee Time.  It was COLD for us old guys!! 
We played 1, 2, 7, 8 & 9.  All the good holes & Par 4’s then hit breakfast.  Best part of the morning. 
Nothing was going anywhere, ball was just not traveling at all.

My playing partner had a hole-in-one yesterday!  

 

73 years old and his first ace.   We've been playing together for years and he's been really close many times.  It was fantastic to see the ball finally disappear into the cup.

 

Plus it was a total bonus day. Some years the course is covered with snow by now.  

Congrats, alfriday101, make sure he registers on the web for the hole in one clearing account at

Played Cresc3nt Oaks in TarponnSprings, FL today as our club was over seeding.  Played the back nine first so I shot a 47(back 9)/46(front 9): 93.  Struck the ball well off the tee but approach shots not so good. Seemed like all my wedges came up a club short today.  That said, I did have a birdie on the par 5 #2 hole and it held in the net skins game for $12…woo hoo! BTW, temp was 48* at tee time and warmed up to 64*.

Had a good day today.  I want to lament the two three putts that would have given me a 79, but 81 will do.  I'm also quite pleased that I kept the card free of doubles for the first time in months.   Pretty close to an 'exceptional' score in the index, but not quite.  It was a tale of two 9's.  Shot 44 on the front then went on a tear and was 2 under through 15 before the bogies caught back up with me again. I knew what the score was on 18 and went for it trying to get another birdie before the golf gods gently said not today.  I hit a great drive, a very poor three wood into a tree, then was in jail for the third shot.  Still, I had to go for it.  So I attempted a hero shot under a low tree branch with what I thought was a hooded 4 iron -- Turns out my tags told me after the fact that it was a 6 iron.  🤦‍♂️.    I struck it really well... directly into the large limb I was trying to get it under.  Fortunately it caught the bottom and kicked forward leaving me with 133.  I didn't hit that particularly well either leaving me with a very long two putt which I converted for Bogie.  

Driver was outstanding all day.

Long Irons were hit and Miss

Short Irons & Wedges were very solid

Chipping Pitching didn't hurt me today & were fairly solid otherwise.

Putter -- was very iffy on the front, lots of missed opportunities, then got hot on the back.  

Side note I decided to clean sweep my game golf profile and start fresh.  It's kind of nice to have all this data again.

Early morning 9, still chilly 45* but sunny after 8:00am.  Shot a 40,+4.   
Driver was behaving,  chipping & putter we’re doing OK also.  Mid irons could have been a little more consistent. 
I left myself in some poor spots on the green which led to a couple of Bogeys.

What are the odds?

 

I posted above that on Monday my playing partner got a hole in one.  Well, it happened again.

 

The same group played today and a different playing partner aced the same hole.  His shot was almost identical to ace on Monday.  He is 64 and this was his 6th hole in one.  

 

I hope we get to play later in the week--it's my turn for an ace.  

 

Anyone want to calculate the odds of a player in the same group acing the same hole in back to back rounds.  My head hurts just thinking about it--okay, it could be the celebratory scotch.  

That’s pretty cool!! Congratulations and maybe you next week👍

43/39 for 82 playing the senior tees today with wind 25-35mph.  Absolutely brutal!!  The only thing good about today was the 72º temperature.  Not a good day putting.

Floridian linksters really like to bust balls, don't they?

I almost froze my ass off just walking the dog that you see above.

I suppose that I could try DeSantisland myself if it weren't for the warrants.

 

Have fun, Foz.  I know you can do better with that GIR number.

Thanks BostonSal, I have been playing with a torn tendon in my right shoulder from auto accident in July(waiting for SWMBO to recover from her shoulder surgery before I get mine) my right leg is numb from 3 bulging lower back discs, hoping for relief in mid December from a Radio Frequency Ablation(from same accident). It is what it is so I’m not gonna sweat it.  BTW, at 48* we still wear shorts and a light pullover.

Get well soon, Foz. 

Probably because I use a 1990s flip phone and don't know how to text, I can't translate SWMBO,

but I certainly wish her the best as well.

As for here, I've gone back to wearing a covid mask while walking the dog, not for health reasons--I've had my three jabs-- but to keep my face warm.  

Also, with a hoodie and Ray Bans, I kind of like the Darth Vader look.
