Man, I gotta quit with the +3 after 2 or 3 holes every fricking round!

3 super hard holes, always wrapped up in 3+ jackets, cuz it’s fricking cold, and bam- 3 or 4 over just like that- then, an easy-ish par 5, then the #1 hdcp hole, where par feels like a birdie…

then it’s always a 39-40 front- then ya gotta dig down and play clean on the back to stay in the 70’s

ive got nuthing but problems man, nuthin but problems…. The struggle is real man…

I'd love your problems dude....lol

I've not played for over a week due to Cyclone Gabriel, I live bottom of the north island and only had to deal with lots of rain. Around Auckland they've had slips and huge rivers that were tiny creeks houses have been washed away cars floating around streets, it's been absolutely shocking what people have suffered and watching it on TV is depressing and my heart goes out to those people....

Thanks, big problem she only has minimal eyesight in other eye.  She had surgery years ago and the surgeon screwed up so preserving her eyesight is her big concern.  Lots of anxiety around here.  Docs have been really good.

Well at the moment if I could I'd like to SUE the surgeon for my treatment injury, I spent 3months in hospital and a month in a Coma and I've spent $5k of my own money getting treatment drugs since 15/12/2019 that's the day I can home. But in NZ doctors are immune from prosecution or being sue'd, plus 2-3 weeks ago I played golf with a guy who suffered the EXACT same treatment injury as I did at the hands of the EXACT SAME DOCTOR. HOW CAN HE STILL PRACTICE...

That does happens and some investigation efforts should happen.  In your case why it didn’t I have no idea.

Ok, I figured the game out… just need a 1.5 hour frost delay, and then add a cold 30 mph wing and I shoot a 2 over- 

simple as that

See, that was easy 😁

You could have played in our group today, then ... add in some wet, sloppy fairways and you're golden!

 

Played a Shamble today (5 drives max per player) in sloppy wet conditions and cold with 20+ mph wind ...  I managed to come in with an 82.  My partners shot 84, 97 (female partner), and 98.  Only 5 brave teams showed up to play (several canceled because of cold and wet conditions) with one team having only 3 players. My team finished at -8 for 3rd place (of course, they only paid 2 places!)

I popped out for 4 holes to see if I could film and it not look crappy. I could film and it looked ok but a silly mistake and some poor lag putting meant I scored like crap.

Had a really effortless 38(+3) this morning. I really focused on some exaggerated feels in my swing, and used flightscope mevo+ to do some driver testing before I played. It was really eye opening to see my angle of attack to down with the driver. I tried the Srixon zx5 LS in Ventus blue w/ velocore, and Mitsubishi av white, and I hit it okay. I was working on trying to get my aoa up, but it will be something that takes time. My numbers were good, but my callaway triple diamond was carrying 285+ on average about 10 yards more than the Srixon. On the course I drove it well, got my high draw back, and my feels with the irons paid off with amazing ball striking. I also put my odyssey two ball ten back in the bag, and I felt a lot better with it. 3 over with 2 three putts on dormant greens I’ll take for now.

Golf is such a strange game. Played again this morning, and hit the ball better from tee to green than yesterday, but putting was absolutely atrocious. The greens were a new level of slow that I have not experienced before. If I had been able to putt, I think the round could have been decent for the conditions, but I don't know how bad it was. I typically don't write my scores down and just find out afterwards when I upload the Shotscope information, so that I don't think about it during the round. Unfortunately, my H4 ran out of battery on 16 and I did not bring the charger with me to Florida. Next weekend I'll upload the partial round and see what happened, but it was crazy windy. I mean, 130 yard 5-iron windy, and not a mishit 5-iron. It was flushed and just died in the wind. I haven't played a ProV1x in the wind enough to compare, but I used the Proto 348 from the test today and if that was improved performance in the wind, I am scared how the previous model would have handled the wind.

Finally pulled the round into Shotscope. Exactly like I figured, felt like a played much better on the second day, but scored worse. Went from 42/43 for an 85 on the tight, short course hacking it up with mostly irons all round to a 45/45 for a 90 on the longer course. 20-30 mph winds and 35 putts will do that to your score I guess. Got my irons bent from 2 flat to 1 up yesterday, so hopefully I can make time to play a round this week to see if that helps with the right miss I have been trying to deal with.

Stunk it up today.  The Edison wedges did NOT like the wet sand, at all!  Lost far too many shots out of the sand.  Even when the sand is our normal sand, I've never liked these wedges out of the bunkers....they don't fit my swing well, I guess.  I do much better with more traditional wedges.  I had been playing different wedges before today due to course conditions and just put them back in my back prior to this round ..... Anyway, after struggling big time out of 2 green side traps, I decided to use my A wedge out of further traps and "voila!"...just like the doctor ordered!   Grounding these wedges until further notice!
