How'd you play?

Got out back for a quick 9 earlier. Definitely played well, but much room for improvement. I'm shaving my HC pretty good, hoping to get back to scratch this year. The shot scope stats are really helping me improve as well.Screenshot_20240317_134942_ShotScope.jpg.65d35e2d4af35481aa43848ca6a48fcf.jpgScreenshot_20240317_135212_ShotScope.jpg.00e06ddc0c92a20efe97589fe87b4a09.jpgScreenshot_20240317_135222_ShotScope.jpg.8f03a9e8390b1293c076a99efc8af0d5.jpgScreenshot_20240317_135228_ShotScope.jpg.efc9498d87181982a968ded6262fcbf1.jpgScreenshot_20240317_135323_ShotScope.jpg.f18723db3d9412c117267a8ba7a34268.jpg

Played 11 of Gearhart Links last night.  +3, I will gladly take a round like this.  Aside from a 2 iron that went too far and cost me a penalty I played some really good golf.  Second round of the year, and I’m in better form than I had been the last few.  I’m a little slower than I was, but I’m going to start training again.  Averaged around 270 off the tee with the driver with a 303 yarder in there.  The UDI is still a laser Beamer, 272 on one occasion. The wind was a little stout, but overall a great round.  No real “you dummy” shots, only an unfortunate huge hop into a pond that should have been unreachable….

Played the course i’m a member at, Sidcup in SE London, today and did it as a solo 2 ball scramble. Played some really nice shots, and didn’t bother with a second attempt on quite a few of them. Managed to go round in 2 over which I was very pleased with as my course handicap is 17

Got out for a round this morning. Usual Sunday group of me, my father in law, one of his buddies and his son in law. We decided to do a scramble since it’s been a while since we did one. I know my roll on scrambles is hit the ball far and be the vibes guy by after we used a few of my wedge shots I was pretty happy

Without a doubt. Vibes, hit ball far, unnecessary flop shots. If you need putting from me in a scramble we’re screwed😂

All the practice, lessons, time at the range or on the chipping/putting green, the drills and obsession; only to play worse than ever, is simply disheartening.
Compounding errors, poor putting and brand new misses... Sometimes it's like I'm playing in someone else's body. Like every movement is foreign and uncomfortable.

Gutted after this morning's round. Taking a week away from the sticks.

I pray you all better fortune out there.

Today's round was sub par. Had some absolutely terrible shots but also some great ones!  I guess that's what keeps us coming back. 

Shot 84 today. Had a few drives that were duckhooks and that's not close to the norm. Made scoring tough when you are either taking another tee shot or dropping. 

Irons, wedges and putting are still great.

Like I figured, today was a different day than Tuesday. Nothing felt right and it was a grind on almost every hole. It feels being able to look back on a round and know you shot 78 without your best stuff. My driver was all over the map with my shortest at 255 and my longest at 351. It was about 25°-30° cooler than Tuesday and I repeatedly failed to take the cooler temps into account when calculating my yardage.  Also had a 10mph wind, most often in my face, as well compared to 0-5mph on Tuesday. Again, continually failed to adequately account for wind which combined with cooler air temps led to most approach shots being 30’-50’ away from the pin. And that was when I hit the green. Putter also struggled today. Had my first three putt with the Odyssey (twice actually) and speed control was a challenge. Hoping to is again a sign of things to come as I would be ecstatic if my bad rounds this season are in the high 70s. All in all, it was a great day and my first official handicap round for 2024 in the GHIN. 

A score of 78 with the shortest drive of 255?!?! I only wish I could be part of such a "grind"! 🤣

He played with me and as expected, he was keeping pace with me until about the 5th hole and then his mental game imploded because of one bad shot. It was all over after that, 😂 

They do that don't they 🤣 I keep telling mine that he's really not good enough at Golf to get angry when he hits a bad shot, but weirdly, this seems to make the situation worse 😉

Bag full of mostly PING, apart from Cleveland CBX wedges..I need all the help I can get!

I put in a lot of work on my short game for days like these. When my driver is unpredictable I really need my putter to step up. It’s the days when both fail me that I question why I keep playing this game. 😂

Hoping one day soon he will understand why a strong mental game is needed in order to excel. The ability to make pars and limit bogeys when it feels like the wheels are falling off is the key to taking his game to the next level. He’s already at a point where he can beat me. He just doesn’t realize it yet.

Happens to everyone. Even the guys on tour go through periods where their game or an element of the game leaves. Golf is like life. It’s one big roller coaster ride. With all the excitement in both the highs and lows. All we can do is keep our head up and keep grinding. Put all effort in the next shot!

Play like a champion today!

Played 18 on Saturday and shot 102 because I continue to be betrayed by my wedges/short game. I blasted a drive 350 yards, I smoked this ball like never before in my life, an absolute laser that left me 125 to the green on a short par 5. I'm thinking Eagle on this hole so naturally I hit my approach short & to the right, blade my chip over the green and do the exact same thing on the next shot that left me scrambling to get up & down for bogey....after a 350 yard drive. It was that kind of day; I hit a lot of good shots and a lot bad shots. 

Long iron play is much improved but it seems to have come at the cost of my short game. I'm taking good lines on my putts but can't seem to get my speed right, I'm blaming that on wonky early season greens.

Took a 5 day break from swinging a club and paid for it today. Spent the first 14 holes or so swinging way to hard. I know at times I can be thick headed and today showed my just how long. 14 holes long. Once I figured out what I was doing holes 15 through18 went par, birdie, par, two put birdie on a par 5. 

So Wednesday is another day on the course.
