Popular Post bens197 Posted October 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2023 Played my last round on Thursday but did not keep score. Why? Because more than anything I just wanted to play. Off the tee was silly good. Wedge play was mid but did hole out for birdie from 40 feet on a par 3. 11/14 fairways and 12 greens. Felt good to put an exclamation point on the season of some real quality improvement. I feel happy and satisfied and grateful. sirchunksalot, cksurfdude, GolfSpy_KFT and 8 others 8 1 2 Quote Titleist TSi3 Fujikura Speeder NX Blue 60X TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Fujilkura Ventus Blue 7-X Titleist U505 2 Tensei 1K Black 85 X Titleist T100 4-P Nippon Modus 3 120X PING S159 50-S 55-H 59-T DG X100 Vokey SM8 50, SM9 54 & 60 Nippon Modus 3 120s L.A.B.

Vegan_Golfer_PNW Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) Rough nine today. Played back nine of a course I haven’t played in two years. First time this nine from tips. This nine always game me trouble. It’s tight and requires shaping or dropping down several clubs on some holes from the tee, which I didn’t do and it got me in trouble. Aim points were off on some tee shots which lead to penalties or punch outs. Did have three pars though. Just too many other big numbers.

Josh Parker Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Got out this morning to play what I thought would be a quick round but the course was busier than normal. After playing the last few days, I know what I need to continue working on... Quit firing at flags and go for the center of the green. I wasn't missing by much but it is making getting par much more difficult than it needs to be. Shot an 8 over 80 but only hit 9 GIR today. My driver however did much better today and I was keeping it in the FW when I was hitting driver.

Popular Post rkj427 Posted October 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2023 Played my second round this weekend earlier today. Tee time was 12:00PM noon, and weather was 48 degrees on the first tee, but the sun came out and it made it to 53 degrees by the time we finished. Played very well, a lot of leaves made fairways and greens paramount to not only scoring but also having any hope of finding your ball. A lot of pictures posted here, as Jason @sirchunksalot seems to love the changing colors of the trees that the fall season brings. Shot a 75 with 1 natural birdie on hole 10 where I stuck a PW from 118 to about 3 feet and made the putt. Hit 9 of 14 fairways, those missed were not too far off or bad except for a left miss where I had to punch out leading to a bogey on the par 5 11th hole. Hit 14 of 18 greens, so irons were dialed in too, and a long drive of 274 (wind aided). Hoping to get more rounds in here, as long as the temperatures stay above 40 and the precipitation stays away.

Big moose Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Played mount vintage in Augusta s.c. shot 45,46. Very hilly course, I could have done better if I didn't have so many down hill lies. I just can't hit the ball solid off of those lies. I did win 3 skins and our team came in second place so it wasn't all bad. Playing the river course tomorrow.

Kenny B Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Not so well this weekend. I hit the ball OK but couldn't buy a putt. I offered the golf gods $20 today and they didn't seem interested. Saturday I miss 6 what I would call makable putts for birdie and a few more for pars. Shot 80... 41/39. Today I didn't hit my driver as well as I did on Saturday, but scrambled my way around the course for an 81... 43/38. I'm not sure why I wasn't putting very well. Last weekend I could see the line and make my stroke and made many putts for par and a few birdies. This weekend I could see the line, make my stroke on that line and nothing... I mean nothing dropped. Doesn't look good for next weekend with overnight lows near 32º.

MaxEntropy Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Got out with @DiscipleofPenick and a couple of his friends yesterday at Manakiki (a Donald Ross-designed course that was originally private, now public). It was typical fall golf in NE Ohio (mid to upper 40's with decent wind) and the greens had just been punched Monday. It was my first time there and I really liked the layout. Driver was generally very well behaved until 14 - then I started leaking oil on the last few holes. I ended up shooting 41/44. My approach game is brutal and I need to figure it out. I only hit a handful of solid irons and otherwise made every mistake possible - fats, thins, pulls, push/slice. Not good. Given how tight some of the holes are, I am actually quite pleased with the score.

Today is not that day, either First hole was decent on in 2 but then I 3 putted; after that I was kinda all over the place... Actually turned into a practice round soon anyway (aren't they all, really?) after adjusting my driver and taking a Mulligan off the tee. Fortunately I woke up for the last 3 holes and played something more closely resembling golf ... par on the short Par 3; par on the single Par 5 on the front 9; almost par on #9 after another not so good tee shot - really good punch out to get back in play and near the front of the green, good wedge a little left of the back pin .. but then just kinda choked on the first putt...

Popular Post barney_bogey Posted October 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2023 Bit intimidating see you fellas post such good scores, tbh. Played 18 this morning at a new course. It was 39 when we arrived and a bit breezy, it stayed cool but warmed to 54 and breezy. Continued teebox woes, as is my way, left be chipping back into the fairway far too often. Distances were a bit short today. Sometimes a club wasn't enough. Was unable to lean on my strength today which is inside 20 yards with a wedge. Not so tidy. Mulitple 3 putts on wet sandy greens. Irons were pretty tight though. And I felt comfortable over the ball with a new swing. Shot a 93. Meh. The only takeaway is this: What a wonderful time that I was blessed to be able to share with a great buddy! I'll remember the good ones more than the bad. Oh, and only spent 1 ball which is excellent by my meager standard. I just wish I got back into golf at the start of the season instead of at the end. Another round next Monday. Another new course.

Got away with a hybrid on a couple short ones also. It really is time for a driver lesson. I try to remember that golf instruction is expensive because it's worth it. I have gotten alot out of the ones I have taken. It's also left to me to learn what I was taught and train the brain to reprogram the muscle memory.

Shlax Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Played my second round with the Shot Scope X5 in the afternoon. It rained for the last 3 days in my area so the course was drenched and the greens hadn’t been cut for a while. Consequently, they were very slow. Nevertheless, ended up logging a nice 82(+10) with 32 putts and 2 birdies. Incurred 4 penalty strokes total and 2 on the very last hole… I managed to get myself out of bad situations off the tee by punching out and being quite successful of the following approach shot and short game. Happy to see my stats in comparison to 5 handicap players!

Dweed Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 @rkj427 nice pics and great looking course. Do they keep the leaves at bay? In the Saginaw area they are starting to drop quickly now. Time to load the leaf blower as my 14th club. rkj427, Josh Parker and cksurfdude 3 Quote D- Ping G 400 SFT 16*- Adams Tight Lie 19*- Adams Tight Lie 4H- Ping G 400 5-U- Ping G 400 SW- Nike 56*- Ping Glide 2 P- Sub70 004 Mallet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, they seem to be all over, even greens, but those on the green I will move from my putting line area to prevent any natural obstacles from impeding the putt. It really depends upon the weather during the week, as I typically can only get out on the weekends due to work and limited daylight hours now. cksurfdude and Josh Parker 2 Quote Driver & Fairway: Titleist TSR3 10 degree - Ventus TR Blue & TSR3 15 - Project X Hzrdus Smoke Black Hybrid: Callaway Apex UW 19 - Hzrdus Smoke Black Irons: Titleist T200 3G (4) & T150 - (5-G) - Project X LZ Wedges: Vokey SM8 54, and 58 Putter: Cameron Phantom X 7 Ball: Pro V1 & Maxfli Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
