How'd you play?

Played league tonight. The swing is starting to finally feel like it’s coming around. Shot a 38 with a triple on a par 3 which was more of an all around bad hole. Tee shot under the tree, punch out, poor chip, 3 putt. luckily it didn’t continue for the rest of the round and we leveled off from there. Lots of pars and a couple easy birdie misses. 

I feel really confident with my driver now which is something I haven’t had all season. All in all it was a good 9-holes.

Played Esmeralda in Spokane yesterday. Finally left to driver in my truck so I wasn’t tempted to hit it since it hasn’t been working out lately. Ended up shooting a 103 (slowly bringing the handicap down). Could have been better without make two 9’s (one on the front and one on the back). Only a few poor strikes this round.

Havent posted on this thread in a while, and its completely unrelated to those couple weeks where I was way out of form...

But recent have been playing well again. Last Thursday was my last time out, played a 9 hole game with some buddies and shot a +5 41 on a tough course that I do not play often. Started off tough with a double on the first hole after hitting a pitching wedge 40 yards too long on my approach, I think a combo of a flier lie plus landing on a slope away from the green kicking it way down a hill. Bounced back with a birdie on the Par 5 second though. Played real solid the rest of the way through with a couple tough lip-out par putts but thats just how it goes sometimes.

Figured there'd be a letdown after breaking 80.  Fortunately it wasn't severe.  +4 over 9.   I followed up one of my best striking days with an uncharacteristically poor one.  Swing just felt a bit disconnected and lacking in power.  In any case after four straight bogeys I played the swing I had for the day and managed to grind out par for the last 5.  Wedges & my putter bailed me out.  Four one putts to close out on a day where I made a single GIR.

For some dumb reason we played last evening in 90* heat after working all day.  🙄. We got in 12 before calling it off.  Lots of fairways and greens hit so i am still in the good swing rut.  A couple birds and 1 bogey and decent putting.  I am getting better with gauging the soeed of the putts.

It is now confirmed that the 15th hole has taken up residence in my head. It's a fairly hard hole, but not that freaking hard. I sure do make a mess of it, though. My scoring average on that hole this season is 6.4(!!!!) with 4 triples

Since I had a minute, I went through Arccos from last two years. Scoring average in 2021 was 5.1, 2022 was 5.2. I played that hole a total of 29 times with "only" 3 triples. I need to get my head out of my a$$ on that hole and soon. It's my kryptonite and has derailed too many decent rounds.

I'm still happy with an 80 but must admit that seeing 70 scores more frequently of late is shifting my expectations.

Afterwards, a few of us left were chatting about his play and one asked how I felt getting lapped by a 14 year old.  My response; the only thing worse would have been that Beau was Betty 🤣.  Pretty damn amazing.

Several years ago I was lapped by 14-year old Angela and we were both playing from the Blues.  She just finished her Freshman year on the U of Washington golf team.

Shot 42 again, started out with birdie on 10. Then 3 doubles in a row then a bogie followed by 4 pars. The model of consistency. The thing I start doing is bending over too much at address and I start hooking the ball and that's what happened today for 3 holes.

Thanks Kenny.  This post was better than a condolences card 😊.  I'm sure their were 14 years olds back when I was 14 years old that had games like this... I was not one of them.

Yeah, the sad part is it wasn’t a terrible mishit. I caught it off the heel a little bit and that was the end of it. Very sad day.
