How'd you play?

Played 18 early Friday morning. Had decent expectations but was coming off a 2 week vacation followed by a 3 day work trip.. anything could have happened... Driver was super consistent all day, 10 fairways hit, rusty short game after 1.5 months between rounds. Struggled to 4-over through 6 but made 5 birdies the rest of the way in for an even-par 72. 14 greens in reg, 30 putts and one giant 3-putt bogey which kept me from going -1 on the day. Also, didn't birdie a par-5 all day long which feels like leaving strokes on the course given 300+ off the tee... onto the next!

Owen and I played the front nine at River Heights again this morning.  Owen's becoming pretty predictable:  he started slow and finished strong.  I kinda sorta did the same, just far worse.  I had three doubles and two quads to start before finishing par double par bogey. 

Today was another overall misadventure.  I can't do anything with my long clubs.  Irons were bad.  Full wedges were good but I suddenly had some chipping yips.  Chunked just about every club at least once.  Putting was better today compared to yesterday although I realized too late that I was opening the face slightly on my stroke.  Frustrating day but still beats most alternatives!!

Mens league today.  40/43 which yielded a T7 for my flight. I stepped up to #18, par 5, with 35 strokes and proceeded to dunk my drive and then shot #4, resulting in the first snowman I've had in about 3 months 😑.  Were it not for that meltdown, making par, I would have been T3 or T4 🫠.

BLUF: struggling with approach shots, annd scoring irons aren’t.  My new Miz JPX923’s that I was fitted for are 3 weeks on order….told there was a 4-5 week back order.

Im really looking forward to the new, lighter irons, and struggling with accuracy with my old/current set.  On top of that, I was throwing (long toss) a football with grandson 10 days ago.  Felt fine but woke up the next morning with what was diagnosed 4 years ago (last occurrence) as a displaced back rib (around T7).  The rib head puts pressure on the nerve root, causes pain under the right shoulder blade.  Pain wraps around to the front making it difficult to take a deep breath, cough or sneeze.  As of a week ago today, I couldn’t swing a club.

As of Sat, I took full light swings.  Again on Sun but fuller swings.  As of Monday, still some discomfort, but played 9.  Iron accuracy is all over the place.  Not extreme, but miss left, miss right, repeat.  Drives were excellent. Played 18 today with minor discomfort.  Drives were great with 14/14 FIRs.  Irons - miss left, miss right. Mostly easy shots. Good news - I avg 34.4 putts, but today had 30.  It was also 90* and we definitely felt the fatigue. Shot 87 that easily could have been 80.

Shot 41 in my 9-hole men's league tonight. Par 36, course handicap is 8, so that's playing a couple strokes above my head. Ended up winning my match 6-3.

A bit of a roller coaster. Back to back doubles, including one from 50 yards out in 2 on a par 5. Followed up immediately with a nice chip-in from about 20 yards for birdie.

Played 18 with little bro and pops at Glen Annie GC in Southern California. It was great to be back with the gang and the game was trending in the right direction. Ended with an 85 but carded a couple birdies. Still working on getting the penalty average under 1 per round, but encouraged by how the round went.

So I filled in and Played a League Round for my Grandsons team at a local 9 hole course. It is 2 man scramble format. It is more of a fun semi competitive league, a lot of beer drinking.. LOL  anyhow we as a team struggle on 1st tee we warmed up and waited on the 1st tee almost 30 min. So we double the first hole, I know.. 2nd hole we bogey.. tough start.. then we reel off 4 straight Pars, ON 7 I uncork a monster drive and am 10" off the green on the drive, end up with birdie, and go Par, Bogey to finish 3 over 10 strokes clear of the other team.. had a great time grandson just played golf instead of trying to beat me, we tried to play as a team.. the kid hits it way higher and way farther then I do. and I can still send it.. 

 

Thanks

One of the guys had to leave early for a dr appt, so we played a round in 2:15, and unfortunately our scores also reflected that. But still snuck a 79 in. But two doubles on the back didn’t help the cause…

Did not play well today.  Had to WD from a tourney.  I tweaked my back last week, felt like it was fine then tweaked it again a couple days ago.  It felt okay this morning, but a little sore, but I could bend and pick things up and twist so I decided to give it a go.  Long story short, back swing was fine, but the moment I tried to load into my lead leg and come through was where the twinge started.  The result was that my lower body would stop cold and I became all arms.  I gutted through 9 with a kind of Scotty Scheffler slide (forcing the lead leg load) before I decided I was going to actually injure myself if I continued.  The one bright spot was putting.  Got up and down a couple times, 'saved' bogey from 25' and 17' respectively and didn't miss from 5 feet and in.  14 putts for the front with no three putts.

9 holes today, birdie 1, 2, 3, and 5. Had a few doubles inbetween, really up and down, walked away with a 2putt par for 39 🙂 my 3rd 39 and the first this season 😊

I hit more fairways and converted some of those to GIRs, had a 50ft birdie putt, and a holed chip from 3ft off with 30' of roll. 

Shot of the day? Not sure. A slightly mishit 85yd pitch to 2ft? A 200yd layup downhill with my 7i? The long putt, holed chip, and 2 or 3 drives that felt and went really well. 

Tugged a few PW shots. I pured one with it on hole 1 but a couple pulls got me in trouble. I may have shot under par if the PW behaved. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️😱😱😱

Played 18 at Bey Lea GC, Toms River muni. 43-46 for bogey golf. Hit the ball like someone who knows what they're doing, but the greens chewed me up and spit me out today. 39 putts with 6! 😱 3 putts. 

This is golf. The day I had 28 putts I hit it OB 3 times. Today I played the same 2 balls in rotation for most of the round before losing 1, hit a bunch of greens and punted the chances away bad.

I'm back, baby!!  Several of us decided to take the day off for golf today.  Owen and I were joined by our friends Mark and Kevin to play Mill Creek in Geneva.  Owen and Mark had never played it before; totally fun course with lots of forced carries and multi-tiered greens.

Started a little rough but got my swing situated and played pretty well.  Weakened my grip a little on my driver and started hitting them long and straight.  Stood a little more upright on everything else and mostly hit them well, too.  Putting was alright but once again I had a bunch lip out.

The four of us are playing a charity scramble tomorrow and we're looking forward to it after the way we played today.  Kevin shot in the low 100s but putted fantastic.  Owen and Mark shot in the mid 80s and we're all around pretty solid.  I went 46/45 for a (+20) 91.

Look holistically at the round it was an absolute grind and for how bad I was off the tee it was an incredible score.

83 (+11) with 4 driving penalties. Two of them I made par which was just a tribute to my wedge and iron play.

I had my fair share of good drives but when I was off (pulling left) they were gone. Putting was very strong until the last hike where I could have strung together my last 4 holes at par, par, birdie par but 3 putted for a bogey.

All in all good solid round with my dad so ya can’t beat it.

course had some brush fire recently from the dry spell we had. Needless to say we needed the rain

I did not grind so well. Few good swings my biggest obstacle was the grey matter between my ears and my lack of focus. Definitely one of my worse rounds over the last 5 years 57/54, the other was with him also at Franklin 57/52.  It was just nice being out on a good course and walking 6 miles with Lacassem. Even better was a couple beverages after and a nice sunset!!!

Played better today and all was pretty good.

still missed 3-4 makable birdie putts within 10 feet- I’m just not a good putter, and I really need to get serious about improving that aspect. I’m good at lags, it’s just those inside of ten feet I seem so good at missing…

I guess I need to buy a good putting mat or something

... Like everything in sports, a positive attitude is absolutely essential. That said, I get it and it's difficult to have confidence when nothing is going in the hole. However it is a catch 22 and the more you think you will miss will produce exactly those results BUT the more you think you will make it the better your chances are of sinking putts. The first step is learning to love putting. I hear so many say they hate putting and it reminds me of the saying that hating someone is like taking poison and hoping the other person dies. I would suggest keeping a putter and some balls in the car and when driving by a golf course with even 10 minutes to spare, go to the practice green and hit some putts with the thought that it will increase your confidence. You get to putt on different slopes with different speeds and missing a putt doesn't hurt your score while making some can boost your confidence and make putting more enjoyable instead of a chore.

Right, and by the time you get there he is gone and nobody believes you 🤷‍♂️

Funny you mention ricochets.  I hit a shot ... last season, long story short, guy in front of us were jacking around and I got fed up with it so I hit my drive, it ricocheted off the top of their cart, straight down the fairway giving me a wedge into a par 5.  Sometimes ricochets work out for you.

... Like everything in sports, a positive attitude is absolutely essential. That said, I get it and it's difficult to have confidence when nothing is going in the hole. However it is a catch 22 and the more you think you will miss will produce exactly those results BUT the more you think you will make it the better your chances are of sinking putts. The first step is learning to love putting. I hear so many say they hate putting and it reminds me of the saying that hating someone is like taking poison and hoping the other person dies. I would suggest keeping a putter and some balls in the car and when driving by a golf course with even 10 minutes to spare, go to the practice green and hit some putts with the thought that it will increase your confidence. You get to putt on different slopes with different speeds and missing a putt doesn't hurt your score while making some can boost your confidence and make putting more enjoyable instead of a chore. 

That’s interesting, that’s exactly what my buddies were saying. My self doubt was taking my brain over, and i was fulfilling my doubt. So from 15 on, I started claiming the hole had better watch out cuz I was gunna drill ya!

then I actually saved par on 16 with a confident 15 foot bender that walked right in. Finished out unremarkably, but have decided to practice and EXPeCT putts to drop. It’s funny because a 6 year old putting has no fear at all about missing.

Not sure how I played. I made it thru 5 holes walking in 2 hours and decided the groups ahead were just too slow to wait any longer. 25 min per hole is just too long for me.

Played better today and all was pretty good.

still missed 3-4 makable birdie putts within 10 feet- I’m just not a good putter, and I really need to get serious about improving that aspect. I’m good at lags, it’s just those inside of ten feet I seem so good at missing…

I guess I need to buy a good putting mat or something

Putting seems to the part of the game that cycles from good to bad more so than others (at least in my experience).  Could the reason be because it's the hardest part of the game?  I mean we're generally happy with a 2 putt over 20 feet after having just hit two preceeding shots covering 350+ yards.  Looking at it from a stroke to distance ratio, it's bonkers 🤪.

Owen and I were joined by our friends Mark and Kevin for the Golf Fore Kids charity scramble put together by the local park district at River Heights today.  There were opportunities to purchase mulligans and putting string and the chance to tee off from 90 yards on the longest par five.

Because of all that, the winning score was a five way tie with 48 with three others scoring 49.  We played really well and shot 51.  Really good team effort where everyone pitched in almost equally.  Good times all around!

Copy that.  I thought it looked familiar.  Play Navy & Marine? A buddy just got back and said that course was in great condition.
