I was hitting the ball REALLY WELL. I think I ended up +2. Kinda lost my focus as one of my Buds who’s a decent player just lost it, he couldn’t hit a freakin ball, nothin, no how, no way. I was trying to help him but he continued to get worse as frustration continued. He must have lost 6-8 balls in this relatively easy course. Felt bad for him, I’ve been there. He had a large order of Blueberry Pancakes to wash away the pain! I had a egg sandwich with ham……with a side of Sweet Potato Fries. Is that considered Health Food? We played Tuesday morning also. Tough morning, moderate rain which makes it miserable for me but finished the 9. I was just happy to not get soaked. Love sweet potato fries as long as they are hot; when they get cool... not so much.

RollingGreens Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I was able to get out and play on St. Patrick’s Day, fantastic weather here in Cleveland Ohio. Couldn’t believe it was almost 70°. The front nine on the course was pretty well dry, the back was a little slushy from all the water. I played great on the front for over, I really hit my driver well. But without getting a lot of walking in throughout the winter I found that my body fatigued on the back nine, the back nine also gets a bit more terrain and also changes elevation. As fatigue sudden I lost my driver a bit . The difficult part was the backside is a little usually a little bit longer. Well it didn’t help that it was wet and I wasn’t getting any rolls on my drive. The good thing was I was able to settle down on a few holes and hit really nice drives despite my fatigue levels. Shot of the day was definitely on hole number 11 par three where I stuck it to 2 feet for the birdie. It feels good to get out again. It will likely be on and off over the next few weeks until spring weather is here for a good tony@CIC, MattF, bens197 and 6 others 9 Quote Stealth 2 Plus 9deg Kai' li Red Stealth 2 13deg Aldilla Rogue Silver Stealth 2 15deg Aldilla Rogue Silver JPX 921 Hot Metal 4-PW Nippon Modus 120s SM8 54 and 58deg Dynamic Gold Wedge Flex Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Titleist ProV1 Hoofer Stand Bag Stewart Q Follow Electric Caddie 300 PRO Rangefinder Official Nippon Regio B+ Driver Shaft Review Official Stewart Q Follow Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had 5 birdies this week on Tuesday and then on the same course Wednesday the winds were around 20 but gusting higher. ONE birdie downwind on a par 5 that landed well short but rolled on for an eagle putt that didn't come close as I was getting blown over trying to putt and somehow got the birdie to fall. Hit a 4 iron off the tee straight downwind 245 and hit one off the ground into the wind that came up just short of the green to a middle pin at 175.

cnosil Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Beautiful but windy day in Virginia today. Played the Kingsmill River course with Harry and Phillip from MGS headquarters and had a great time. Temp was about 81 and wind was a steady 15-20 with stronger gusts. 5 FW, 5 GIR, 30 putts 43/38:81 Overall, I wasn't that unhappy with how I played. Didn't hit a lot of fairways or greens but only had one tee shot that I wasn't really able to advance very well. Hit my irons fairly well; a few pull hooks but just didn't hit a lot of greens. Short game wasn't horrible, just didn't get myself close enough to make a lot of one putts so I got lots of bogeys. Greens were punched about a week ago so they weren't perfect and much slower than expected. Didn't get my speed adjusted until the back 9. Definitely need to get some short game work in especially uphill pitch shots; seem to chunk or hit them wide right.

Grand Stranded Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Whew! Played a lot of golf this week. As I said last week, my game is really coming around again, and that continued this week. Nothing earth shattering, but my cap is dropping steadily. I feel like that person on a diet losing 1-2 lbs a week. Slow and steady wins the race. I won’t bore you with all the details, but I will say yesterday’s round was special. I played with a group of very good players, ranging in age from 28 to about 70. The younger ones played the blacks at 6900, but I played the white at 6300 which is really pushing it for me. I shot 87 on a wet course that played at least 200 longer than the card. At 67yo, that was gratifying. I made a few bucks also. I played again today, and while the competition in my Saturday league isn’t as stiff, they’re no slouches. I was tired from yesterday, but still shot an 88 on a shorter course. I’ll take a 6th place finish and rest up until Tuesday. BTW adding 5&6 hybrids to my bag has probably been the smartest thing I’ve done equipment wise in years. These two clubs have given me such great results the past 2 weeks. I just couldn’t be more pleased. I need to dial in the 6 a little bit, or maybe change the shaft to the same one I have in my other hybrids, but it’s such a confidence boost to know you’re going to hit a nice high soft landing shot every time you pull a club.

It’s fun again. You calling me an inspiration is ironic. When I was here whining about my “woes”, I remember you were always there with a kind word or a piece of sound advice. I’ve said it before, but this is a special place, filled with a lot of very nice people. You’re one of those people.

Peaksy68 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Got a late call up into my club’s second pennant team. Teams of 7 play scratch matchplay. I always hope my form is good enough to get picked because I love both matchplay and the team environment. Thought I was in for a bad day when my opponent bounced his second shot off a tree onto the green to about 20 feet. I’d run through the back and had a tricky downhill chip. Thankfully he hit an awful first putt and I got away with a half. Really solid front 9 with 3 birdies, saw me 2 up at the turn. Losses on 11 and 12 took it back to square. Another birdie and a couple of solid pars had me 2 up with 3 to play. Awful tee shot into a penalty area left me one up with 2 to play. Halved 17 to take off some of the pressure, the worst I could do was square my match. Hit a good drive on the short uphill 18th, left a 25 yard pitch. Misread the break badly and left myself a 15 foot putt, but my opponent was about 8 foot from the hole after his 3rd which allowed me the luxury of 2 putts to win. My opponent missed his, to give me the result 2 up. Happy with my game, particularly as it was at a course I’ve struggled at in the past.

As I said last week, my game is really coming around again, and that continued this week. Nothing earth shattering, but my cap is dropping steadily. I feel like that person on a diet losing 1-2 lbs a week. Slow and steady wins the race. I won’t bore you with all the details, but I will say yesterday’s round was special. I played with a group of very good players, ranging in age from 28 to about 70. The younger ones played the blacks at 6900, but I played the white at 6300 which is really pushing it for me. I shot 87 on a wet course that played at least 200 longer than the card. At 67yo, that was gratifying. I made a few bucks also. I played again today, and while the competition in my Saturday league isn’t as stiff, they’re no slouches. I was tired from yesterday, but still shot an 88 on a shorter course. I’ll take a 6th place finish and rest up until Tuesday. BTW adding 5&6 hybrids to my bag has probably been the smartest thing I’ve done equipment wise in years. These two clubs have given me such great results the past 2 weeks. I just couldn’t be more pleased. I need to dial in the 6 a little bit, or maybe change the shaft to the same one I have in my other hybrids, but it’s such a confidence boost to know you’re going to hit a nice high soft landing shot every time you pull a club. Well done, happy to see you’re playing great and enjoying it. Hybrids are still doing well in my bag also.
