Popular Post chisag Posted December 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2021 ... I am still amazed that swinging a driver causes more elbow tendonitis pain than taking a divot. But the real surprise is just hitting a normal sand shot. Pain is just silly from green side sand. So I take the ball out and chip/pitch which often leaves a more difficult shot from Bermuda rough. Only happened 3 times in 4 rounds though. Seems none of that matters as I am stuck on 74. I have played 4 rounds now just teeing off with my 2 iron and shot 74 every single round. ... 3rd round I was 2 under going to the back and the elbow started hurting worse and I suffered 2 bogies, so even par with 2 holes to go. Easy little par 4 and had an in-between yardage for either pw or 9i and took a 9i, chocked up a little and ... decelerated into the ball and barely hit it fat but enough to hit the wood planks that guard the front of the green. Dropped and made a double to get me back on track for a 74. Silly, silly mistake as the play is accelerate with a 3/4 swing and take long and back of the green over short and in the water. ... Played yesterday and managed to have 12 straight pars before 2 bogies in a row. Then had 3 birdie putts on the final 4 holes and didn't make any of them because it would have meant a 73 or less and evidently I am only allowed to shoot a 74.

Popular Post fixyurdivot Posted December 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2021 Our Yuma group did our annual stay & play at Emerald Canyon in Parker, AZ. While not that long in yardage, the course winds through the canyon and demands some precision off the tee on a handful of holes. The course is in outstanding condition and, like so many AZ courses, creates an amazing contrast in both colors and topography. 40/44 on day 1 and 42/44 on day 2. No one had their A games and my short chipping game was AWOL, but we had a great time as always. Plus, two years ago, I scorched the track with a B2B 78 and 79... so I'll always have that memory recall to soften the blow . Hole #16 is one of our favorites. Drivable at 243 but plenty of pain if you miss. I was about 5 feet off the green on round one and my woeful chipping, thankfully, went away on this one hole stopping just a few inches short from an eagle. #16 from the tee box Hole #15... we tried in vain to get this guy's game turned around . Hole #6 requires a blind, uphill drive between two rock walls. They use a spotter at the crest to signal to the group on the tee when it's safe to hit. Spotter station View over the crest and down towards the hole. Hole #4 is another one that can reach out and bite you. Something other than driver is the "smart play", but the course architect also had a masters in golfer psychology . The Bluewater Casino nearby offers a great place to stay at a reasonable price. Marina views from the rooms. Brian's final approach shot into #18. RB looking back up to the elevated tee #5 par 3 tee... and for his ball that failed to clear the wash.

Popular Post Syks7 Posted December 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2021 Twice in a week. I'm feeling a little spoiled. We had a men's club tournament scheduled for this morning that got canceled about an hour before I was supposed to tee off. It was canceled because of 'inclement weather' -- a light drizzle and periods of rain. I went out anyway. Winter golf sure is rough in Southern California. The periods of light rain and drizzle almost made it impossible to play -- not really but it cleared out the golf course for me. I decided to play from the tips just so I could get a different look at the golf course and the rain (mostly wind), at times, made it slightly more challenging. The front 9 was pretty solid, but I made a mess of 9 and doubled it. Then on the back 9 I could not get off the bogey train until 17. There were also a couple 3 putts in there today so I'm not super happy with that. But all things considered I did 41/44 in the rain from the tips for an 85. Still helping the handicap fall. Driver -- Really good on the front. I'm starting to be able to get some shape on the shots and had a couple nice low draws today that helped get good distance in the wind and rain. I think 267 was my best today and I was pretty happy with it. The back was a different story. The rain picked up and I think I started swinging too hard to compensate. I almost really cost myself with a pull hook on 18 and luckily the tree line saved me. Woods -- Pretty solid. It actually performed better on a few holes because it has a more penetrating flight. I didn't throw any darts with it, but I helped myself play for bogey more than a few times on the back with a good recover shot. Hybrid -- Also pretty good, though it only came out of the bag twice. Hit the front of a long par 3 from 220 with it (then three putted). Irons -- Long irons are still feast or famine (more feast lately) but I got to hit them a lot more today playing from the tips. Short Irons, still really solid. I did find out it's a lot harder to get good movement on the ball in the wet. I expected it, but I also didn't expect how much less I'd be able to generate. Wedges -- Pretty good. Saved my bacon on more than one occasion. Still not as close as I'd like, but good enough to give opportunity for a one putt. Putting -- Weird day. Two three putts both of which occurred because of bad lags. I just left myself too long and couldn't convert. Pretty frustrating. There's also several scramble opportunities from inside 6 ft that I let get away from me. The one putts were from close range. Those are much more indicative of a save with the wedge than with the putter. It just felt a little sloppy today. Overall -- Good day in different conditions. It was also delightful to be out on an empty course. I had a couple of the other members playing in front and behind and while we could have played together I think we were all enjoying not being on a jam packed golf course for once. I am still a little frustrated because of the miscues, but at least they're not as bad as they were a few months ago. Hopefully my miscues will keep getting smaller. http://www.gamegolf.com/player/jgilliam77/round/3124634 Kenny B, sirchunksalot, cnosil and 11 others 14 Quote Driver 0311 Gen 5 -- Tensei CK Orange 60 Woods 0341 3W -- Tensei AV Raw Blue Hybrids 0317X 2&4 -- Tensei AV Raw Blue Irons ZX7 4/AW -- C-Taper Lite 110 Wedges T7 55º @55/7 -- TT DG Spinner Putter DF2.1 or Link.1 -- Accra Ball Zstar Diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rickp Posted December 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2021 Wednesday played Big Boy 9 with Fog again. Driver is continuing to be a problem but irons/hybrids bailing my chubby butt out. 2birds both on the Par 3’s but gave the 2 shots back on the Par 5’s of all things. Finished up +4 40, which is great for me.

Popular Post ncwoz Posted December 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2021 My brother and I "played" a round on a simulator - realized that between spraining my ankle and the cold weather setting in I hadn't hit a ball in almost 7 weeks! We played Bay Hill, and I actually hit the ball way better than I thought I would. Nice to see there wasn't too much rust to knock off. And I almost "Bryson-ed" the green on #6 as well!

Popular Post chisag Posted December 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2021 ... After 4 rounds in a row hitting irons off the tee and shooting 74, I played round 5 yesterday and came to 18 and I was 2 over of course. I decided to hit a big 2 iron hoping for a birdie to end the streak and pulled it leaving me a 205yd approach but had to get up and over one of the few trees on the course. Sitting down a little and I could not elevate my 4 hy from the rough enough to completely clear the tree. Just caught the right side of the top and it careened my ball to the right and back in the rough. 45yd pitch and it just didn't run out like I expected leaving me a 20 footer to save par and again shoot a 74 and sure enough it rolled right in the middle of ... a ball mark about 6" right of the hole leaving me a 1 foot tap in for a 75!

Popular Post Shapotomous Posted December 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2021 It's SWMBO's birthday today and she is a bigger golf nut than me so we played 18. Temp is warm for mid Dec at 59* but it was very windy...15mph at least for most of the day. She is hitting the early birthday present G410 irons real well and shot a 79. For me two's were wild today but not on the scorecard...2 doubles, 2 bogeys and 2 birdies for a 76. Putting stroke has made an appearance after taking 1-1/2 months off. One of those doubles was a 4 putt because the wind blew the ball back to my feet twice after i hit an uphill 15'er. Same thing happened on another hole but only once for a 3 putt. Even with those I was still thrilled with my putting overall with 31 putts. Shot / hole of the day was a pulled drive that the wind did not bring back ending up on the edge of a steep creek bed, had to swing left handed, 7 iron toe hit that moved the ball about 30 yards into the fairway and I nipped a wedge to about 5' and saved par by sinking the putt! It was a fun day...done in 2:54 since we jumped around a couple times to escape the slow play in front of us before circling back around to get those holes in.

Kenny B Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 After the big wind yesterday, my wife and I had plans to play this morning. At 9am it was still quite windy (15mph) for a 42º temperature, so we called and cancelled. Around 1pm it had warmed up to a balmy 47º and the wind was down to 10-12mph and the sun came out... briefly. So we headed to the course. It's colder down by the river, but we decided to play anyway. We opted for our push carts since it's easier to stay warm walking. No warmup since we were burning daylight. I missed the 1st fairway (not unusual) but managed a wedge shot from the rough to the back of the green with a back pin. Hard L2R breaking putt uphill and into the wind... 3-putt. Arrrgh! Fairway and tap-in par on #2. Down the middle on #3 and an 8i into the green with a "Red" flag pin; nice shot straight at the pin... pin was in the middle of the green!!! Couldn't get any more middle; came up short and no up and down! Arrrgh! I hit every fairway on the remaining holes and parred holes 4-9. So, a +2 round of 39. My wife shot a very nice 42 after a birdie-par start. We played in one hour and 40 minutes, managing to keep the foursome in 2 carts in sight and losing the 2-some in a cart behind us. Bad weather moving in this week; rain tonight and all day tomorrow, the temps drop into the 20's at night with snow flurries likely. Might not be able to play for awhile. russtopherb, Syks7, NRJyzr and 6 others 9 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DStar Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Christmas Goose comp on Saturday and shot my best ever score of 83 for 39 points playing with 15 shots Had 6 pars & 12 bogeys, really pleased to keep any DB's off the card and getting up & down was really good. Had 3 or 4 putts pull up just short and just missed to birdy putts that I should have really made. Driving was a bit off but I didn't try anything daft if I was out of position. Really starting to see the benefit of the slightly more forgiving MP54 compared to the MP32's and taken another 0.9 off the handicap.. I won the comp by a point too Edited December 13, 2021 by DStar MattF, Syks7, Tom the Golf Nut and 6 others 7 2 Quote RADSpeed 9° Matrix Black Tie X-Flex F9 3/4 Wood Aldila NV 2KXV Blue CLK 19° Hybrid Speeder Evo HB S MP54 4-PW Nippon Modus³ Tour 115 X SM8 50° F-Grind SM8 54° F-Grind SM8 58° K-Grind DStar 'Malvern' Putter AVX & -ProV1X Tour-X "Hey mister, your clubs are the wrong way round"..

Really pleased with the performance, lines up great, rolls really well. I'm just lacking a little confidence to give the ball enough poke...will bode well for the summer when the greens speed up again. cksurfdude, MattF and Rickp 3 Quote RADSpeed 9° Matrix Black Tie X-Flex F9 3/4 Wood Aldila NV 2KXV Blue CLK 19° Hybrid Speeder Evo HB S MP54 4-PW Nippon Modus³ Tour 115 X SM8 50° F-Grind SM8 54° F-Grind SM8 58° K-Grind DStar 'Malvern' Putter AVX & -ProV1X Tour-X "Hey mister, your clubs are the wrong way round"..

Popular Post Kenny B Posted December 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2021 When I looked outside this morning, it was beautiful!! Bright sunshine... slight breeze... and 36º!!! So we called to see if we could get a tee time. Pretty packed... got on at 10:50am. Got a cart today and threw our cover on it. It did warm up to 42º. No warm up; my wife was late to the parking lot, so we just headed to the tee. Paired up with a nice single. I had a good front nine; 40 (+3) with a double on the par 5 #5 into the wind, but I did birdie the 195 yard par 3 #8 into the wind with a "punch driver" to 6 feet. The single kept calling me "pro" the way I was hitting my driver and my MacGregor irons. The back nine wasn't as good; 41 (+6) with a double on the short par 4 #14 after a sh!!!ty drive and a long greenside bunker shot over the green; and a bunch of missed par putt bogeys. The "pro" moniker quickly subsided , but I'll take an 81 on a cold breezy day. Our course has a tournament on Saturday and we aren't playing. However, we were invited to play at another muni in town... the one I started playing golf at some 30 years ago. It was a dog track then... still is. Maybe worse. I haven't been there for several years; I wonder if anyone I know is still there... maybe they are all dead. cnosil, GolfSpy BOS, MattF and 7 others 10 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickp Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Monday & Tuesday 2 completely different Exec 9’s. Monday struggled with everything except pitch/chip game. Unfortunately that was not enough to save a decent score, +6. Tuesday started 3 bogies then woke up and ball found the middle of club face. 2 Birds helped the cause for a +3. cnosil, DStar, Kenny B and 3 others 6 Quote Rick Left Hand, Driver; PXG 0311XF Cypher 50 gr Senior 5 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 7 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 5 hybrid; Cally Steelhead, Hazardous R2 Irons; Mizuno JPX 923HM 7-GW Recoil 460 F2 Wedges; Titleist S9 54*, Mizuno SW 56* Putter; Waaay too many to list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscipleofPenick Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Still in the 50s in Ohio and got out for 9 holes yesterday. I had a birdie, and overall played well, hit 6 greens. The birdie was a terrible drive I got away with having a clear shot to the green and hit my gap wedge to 8 inches. I have next week off, so maybe one more round before Christmas if the weather holds.
