Kenny B Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Freezing rain yesterday afternoon; ice all over this morning, but it was sunny and warmed up to 40º. The course opened up for play about 11:45 with a shotgun start so everyone could finish their round. My wife and I could only play 9-holes since she had an appointment at 2:30pm. I decided to walk; it's warmer that way!! Birdied the first hole; parred the 2nd, then bogeyed the next 3 holes; parred the the last 4 holes for a 2 over round of 39. Ponds were frozen over; spots of water on some low areas on fairways and greens that were frozen if they were in shadows. A tee was difficult to get into some tee boxes. Winter golf has arrived early!!

Popular Post Mr. Mushball Posted November 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) OMG, today. Kinda cold, but not really. 48° maybe? A bit foggy to start but cleared up by the second or third hole. Sunny from there and humid enough I didn't need the down. Felt like the first half wasn't bad, but not as good as I could do. Driver wasn't working too well, but not bad enough to sacrifice the distance. Easy second shot got me almost on, so ok. I'm at best a double bogey player so on in three is sweet. I got some short game. First half went smooth, ended up with a 51. Three under my last round on this course a few days ago. Nice, felt a bit deflated. Felt like I had done a bit better, but ok. Mind you the last round dropped my course handicap by one point. I took my time at the turn. Grabbed a sandwich (extra mustard, no mayo thanks). Let two groups go through. The starter said there was only a twosome after me for the rest of the day, so I half debated grabbing the tripod and getting some tee shot vids, but didn't. Whatever, there was now a crowd. I had a sandwich, and three beers from the turn so I had no need to rush. Decided to not hit driver for once and just get out 150 to an easy 7i for a second shot in. Sure enough slammed it short into a tree on the right. Why did I rush it? Luckily they were falling well for me and I had a clear shot past the bunker for a good third shot on. I had been playing this way the first half, but this was the first time I consciously made a choice to just punch it into a good Pw range and be comfy. I'm not a scratch player, but I could be a bogey player. I got it. Hit nice and got on. Two puts and bogey. Took this method and hit 50 on the back nine. The back nine is harder, and I usually swing 10 over whatever I hit on the front, so this was sweet. 101 at the end. Five under and five less than my last trip on the track. Gotta love that. I'd add another photo, but the option seems to be missing after the first upload.

CarlH Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 After 3.5 inches of rain yesterday, the course was ridiculously wet. Skies were overcast and a cool wind kept us in a light jacket. With the wet fairways and cool air, the course played long. The greens rolled fairly well, but the breaks and speed were difficult to manage. Any shots from the fairway that were even the slightest bit fat were punishing. I added a club for every shot and still seemed to come up short of the green far too often. Closed the round out with an 85, which is disappointing but in relation to how others in my group played, not that bad. We had 2 threesomes today playing 1 gross/1 net best ball. My A player was a -1 handicap player and he played what he claims to be his worst round at this club, shooting an 87. It was indeed the worst that I'd ever seen him shoot. But, our C player played well and we ended up winning 2 of the 3 bets. (We play 6/6/6 with each 6 holes being one bet). Looks like another full day of rain tomorrow. Hopefully, not another 3+ inches!

Popular Post DPattGolf Posted November 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2022 Played my last competitive round of the year on Monday and we started on #10. Been struggling all year to keep the driver in play consistently and it showed up again today with 3 lost balls off the tee. Being at a facility where I can't hit driver on the range has definitely casues my driver play to take a hit. The good news is the rest of my game is decently sharp and I was able to snag the 2nd most birdies in round this year to only finish +1. If I can clean that up this offseason I should hopefully be in for a good 2023 season. edingc, sirchunksalot, Rickp and 7 others 10 Quote * Staff Professional* Driver: Stealth Plus+ (7.25*) - Fujikura Ventus Black 6X Tipped 1" 3 Wood: Stealth Plus+ (14.25*) - Fujikura Ventus Blue 7x Tipped 1" Driving Iron: P790 UDI 2 iron - HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 100 6.5 4 Iron: P790 - KBS C-Taper 130 X Irons (5-7) P7MC - KBS C-Taper 130 X Irons (8-P) P7MB - KBS C-Taper 130 X Wedges: MG3 Black 50.09 / 55.11 - KBS TOUR FLT 130 X 60* Wedge: High Toe Raw - KBS Tour 130 X Putter: Custom Black ER2 or Custom Black Del Monte Bag: FlexTech Stand Bag Glove: Tour Preferred Glove Ball: TP5X #11 RangeFinder: R1 Smart Rangefinder Instagram: @dpattgolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it! When I am swinging poorly I need to concentrate on making good swings in a practice round. But when I am swinging well or just OK, I LOVE playing worst ball. You still get to hit good shots, you just don't play them. And turning your worst shot into whatever your level of a good hole is, can be very rewarding. And of course hitting 2 really good shots is it's own reward. And if you really want to amp up the pressure, play worst ball with a partner. Choosing the worst of two when you want to support your pard after they hit a great shot is even more difficult than doing it alone. sirchunksalot and cksurfdude 2 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

I've quoted myself because I actually stood on the tee box thinking I need cut this because I have too much club if nut it, and I did bloody hell been along time coming that shot. These Mizuno MP32 irons are getting better and better, I've had a buzz for a few days just enjoying this feeling even if I don't do it often I've proved I can do it again.....

Popular Post Sluggo42 Posted November 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2022 Yay, I made it thru 18 with the “easy swing”, and while it was definitely different, it still worked Ok. @Lacassem will be happy to hear I shot an 82, but considering this was the first full round in about 5 weeks, it only makes sense… just kidding.. 41/37 for a 78… rkj427, cksurfdude, Bang60 and 8 others 9 2 Quote TSr2 on tensi blue stiff Speedzone 3-wood on Tensi blue S Epic Max 5 and 7 woods on HZRDUS Reg flex Paradym 9 wood on HZRDUS reg flex P770 / P790 combo set on Ventus R-6 shafts 6-AW T22 Denim Copper 54°, 58° on Kinetic X Trajectory ER3 or, E.A.S. #4 (“Fang” or “Adele”) ProV1x, or, Maxfli Tour X .Org 14 cart bag Adidas Tour 360 , or Sketcher shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
