I was going to play today, and so sad and disappointed that I didn’t play.  Got up at 4am Sunday to get a message from American Airlines they cancelled our flight, and had no way to get me there before late today, so they cancelled my reservation.  Probably was an alternate route, but I was more or less in shock and barely able to think.  

The reservationists was great and gave us flight credits, but then when I asked her to increase the value ( to today’s cost) she had to call another office for approval (a guy in Mexico). He told me that my ticket was issued in 2020 so we weren’t  entitled to a flight credit.  Huh? Treated me like a POS and cancelled our flight credit.  I said yes, issued in 2020 for a trip to Ireland and cancelled by AA due to Covid, then current ticket issued Dec 30 2021 which is printed on the ticket, and again cancelled by AA.  I think the reservationists was listening, and after hanging up, the credit reappeared a few minutes later. 

Was going to play here, then Verrado later in the week.

Stories like this have convinced me that I will drive anytime I can reasonably do so. Sorry to hear about your bad experience. Unfortunately, airlines have figured out they can treat people like garbage and get away with it since air travel is often a necessary evil. 😞

... Well it is the ole tale of two scenarios. One good. One bad. The bad is I played 2 rounds with zero birdies. I can't remember the last time I played one round without a birdie let alone two. The good news is no bogies in the last 2 rounds either. 36 straight pars. Strange couple of days.

I played 9 holes today, had 4 pars and a birdie, but shot 40 because of 3 bogeys and a double bogey on a hole where I hit my tee shot into a thorny bush (similar to gorse in the UK) and had to take an unplayable lie, and was unable to reach the green in three after taking my penalty drop.

It seems that every round of golf that I have played since recovering from cancer surgery on my leg (surgery was 8 weeks ago today and the recovery period was close to 6 weeks) has included at least three “blow up” holes. I’m talking about triple to quintuple bogeys (scores of 7 to 9 on par 4 and par 5 holes). The rest of each round has generally consisted of lots of pars, a birdie here and there, and maybe 2 to 4 bogeys per 18 holes.My scores over the last 2.5 weeks (four 18-hole and two 9-hole rounds) have ranged from 87 to 95 for 18 holes with a 43 and a 40 for 9 holes.

Surgery on your body is tough, mind as over 3 years ago and I'm just starting to feel good. Hang in there and you will lose those big scores, no rhyme nor reason it happens just your body dealing with it...

... I am sure I will get plenty of sympathy for this, but todays round started with NO sun, 10 mph winds, only 62* and Oh yea  RAIN!?!? Thankfully it only lasted 5 holes as all of us were going to quit after 9. "Warmed" up to 65* and by the back 9 my grips were finally dry. 70* and sunny Friday but mid to low 60's next week and that is  🥶  for Phoenix so here is where I am expecting some sympathy from those of you up north. 🤥

How about exchanging sympathies? Our Nov weather in GA is very spotty and 50s-60s.  Played nine 2 days ago, 15-20 mph gusty winds.  Just opened 2 weeks ago from overseeding and CPO.  Uncharacteristically struggled with the driver (short mishits) but did hit the fairways.  Between very long uncut fairway grass and LOTS of leaves, we spent frustrating amount of time trying to find our balls in the fairways. Shot 44.  Played a different course yesterday (not over seeded), driver getting better, very gusty and shot 42 but could have been much better. 

Still bummed about my cancelled trip - should be playing Verrado today, but instead waiting for more wind and rain from Nicole.

In New Zealand that's a normal winter for us so no sympathy but alittle empathy lol....

Back went out again, but I’ve concluded it’s my kidney cyst- long story- but anyways- it fired off on the 9th tee to where I had to actually pick up and go home- extremely painful- makes me mad because I was -1 and had just hit back to back 275 yd drives with the TSr… now I’m back on the couch taking heavy duty Tylenol…

gotta be tough to get old….

Yeah I know all about “old” at 72 because my body just won’t do what I want, and that’s bloody frustrating as right now I’m sitting in my recliner with muscle spasms in my left hip. Which model TSr you using?

Yup CPO this morning.  Lucky to even get out after Nicole dumped about 4” of rain yesterday.  
Bacon Boyz decided after a couple holes that 6 was enough.  Too bad I had to that point 5 pars and an extremely ugly double where a ProV1x decided on drowning over staying with me.  
I haven’t been posting on Play lately as with new driver, fareway woods and irons I’m in total experimental mode.  Irons are getting OK, 7 wood is great, Driver is still a bit of a mystery, still playing around with loft but it’s now a slight fade.  I’m OK with that.

Breakfast was great!!!

Was the ProV1x Yellow???  🤣🤣🤣

Tomorrow I play a Stableford event, Tuesday it’s a quota game, then I wrap my year up next Saturday with our Member-Member Tournament. The following Monday I head up to Long Island, and won’t be back down until after Christmas.

It seems like I’m slipping into one of my funks lately. There isn’t one particular part of the game where I’m struggling, it’s more a lack of focus leading to making bad errors either in judgement or execution. i honestly don’t feel like I’m playing poorly, but my scoring has been horrible, and that’s infuriating.
It feels like this trip north is coming at the right time. I need a break from golf right now. I usually take the clubs up with me, in hopes of squeezing in a couple of rounds with my nephews and friends up there, but right now I think I’ll leave them down here this time,

Veterans Day golf has become a tradition at a favorite family owned course south of me, they don't charge Vets for a cart on this day and if I walk it they usually just waive the greens fee.  Today Nicole's northern bands arrived on the way to the course. Took this video on the ride to the course, been using this windshield treatment for 40 years, problem is the heavier the rain the easier it is to forget it is raining and have to remember I'm going to get wet if I get out without an umbrella ready. 👇

I do enjoy playing golf in rain, don't know what it is but more than any other conditions my game comes together better than other times.  46 and 44 for one more than my best round ever (and handicap went down a point when the round saved).  This one is going for my Week 7 Tour entry, too good to pass up. 

Only 2 others on the course before me and they said I was their last player on the course for the year.  Presented with a certificate for golf next year so essentially gave me back my green fee to use again after the no-outdoor-golf months are past.  The improvements this year with new footbridges improving access across their many creeks, places where brush used to be now resembling idyllic gardens,  better cart paths and terraced tee boxes, indeed I will be back next year and not just to use their gift as more than ever it is a peaceful place I golf to find.
