Our muni is closed today, but we were going to play anyway with another couple and the shop guy that was coming in to get us carts.  He was joining us after locking up.  30 minutes before we left the house, we got a call that everyone bailed.  It's sunny and 39º with a 15 mph wind... perfect!

We might head out a little later and walk 9 holes after it warms up to 43º.

Having heard about Ironwood GC from a handful of folks around the area but never having played it, I decided to give it a go a couple days ago.  It's a 9 hole "executive" style layout and, after 1300, $15 all you can play.  It's down in the older section of Yuma and surrounded by some rather interesting mobile home parks.  At the first tee, a hen chicken and her clutch were eating things in the grass and a rooster was somewhere behind the Oleanders doing what roosters do. 

Overall I would give it a 6/10.  The layout isn't too bad in that tee shots need to be accurate and several have tree groupings that, for those who have the distance and ball height to navigate, demand well struck shots.  Yardages on a few holes are perfect for 3w and 5w and a few others longer irons.  The greens are small and not cut to heights I'm use to - requiring way more energy than normal. But, for the price, I'd prefer to play 27-36 holes as opposed to hitting a $12 bucket of balls...  much better way of working on my game.  

A single ahead of me was playing two balls and he was following a threesome of ladies.  I also put two balls into play and managed to get in 29 holes before light began to fade.  When I went to leave, the gates were closed and it me caused a little panic 😬... until noticing the lock on the swing gate to the parking area was not latched.... phewww 🤣.  I'll likely try it again for one of those "feel like playing but don't feel like playing days".

Oh, yea, my score.  I only kept it in my head and had 3 birdies, 4 bogies, and two DB's... whatever that works out to be.

The mid atlantic weather was very nice for late December with 55* and sunny skies.  A good bit of wind off the river made club selection a challenge at times.  A lot of other people had the same idea which slowed us up after 9 but we jumped around a couple holes and got in 15 before needing to head home.  I had an early stinking triple on a par 3 with a chunked tee ball into a penalty and chunked chip shot and 3 bogeys with the rest pars.  I didn't make a putt all day but felt like I was hitting them pretty well.  I like the feel of the set up adjustments I've been practicing and had good distance and line control with the putts.   

A recent thread got me thinking and I tracked approach shot distances and proximity to the hole today and on the 10 holes with a regular approach distance ranging from 80 to 180 yards I averaged 115 yards and 15'.  Wedge shots were getting up in the wind too much today and I wasn't happy with the inconsistent distance from the hole on those shots averaging 15' rather than the 10' I try for.  7,8 & 9 irons I averaged 15' also which is a little better than what I try for.

Lots of great golf around Indianapolis.  I've been lucky enough to play Purgatory (it rained on us too...), The Fort ( a LONG time ago) and Brickyard Crossing.  I have some work related peeps that are members at Country Club of Indianapolis, that's next on my list.  Hopefully in 2022!

Well, another beautiful December day for golf. Unfortunately, my right shoulder is simply deteriorating.  I am now at constant pain.  I shot a 50/47:97 today……really putting up big numbers.  I hate to say this, but I am now looking forward to surgery and 8 weeks of no golf.  I have two weeks left, or 5 rounds to go.

Don't play hurt Foz.  I know you really want to get out there; but speaking from experience with my TKR, when you play hurt you will introduce compensations in your swing that you will be trying to undo when you are healthy again.  Don't do it.

I would spend the last two weeks working on short game shots and putting, as long as it doesn't hurt to do so.

I wasn't aware there was such a thing as "rash of pars".  I thought pars were good; rash of bogeys I can understand.  If you were playing with the Bacon Boyz, I guess you could confuse the term with "rasher of bacon".  😂

Definitely confusing bacon!!

It's not that I would know that... Martha told me when I was reading @Rickp posts about the Bacon Boyz.

I guess I will make bacon and eggs for breakfast in the morning.

Over the decades, studies about the consumption of bacon have been anything but consistent.  For years my wife wouldn't buy any and I only ate it when ordering breakfast while eating out.  Then, the rescind parts of the study and say it's fine... all those years wasted 😐.  Absolutely everything tastes better with bacon.

Well then... plenty of time to work on it!!  And maybe a shot of Wild Turkey? 🤔
