I wonder why we put ourselves through this torture we call flog  golf sometimes🙄

Looking forward to playing, new swing bedding in nicely (I thought) then followed a round of thins, fats, bogies and doubles including a 4 putt on our hardest hole. Even managed to drive a ball off the tee 12" off the ground into a bank 20 yds in front, never to be seen again!

I need to see the pro and sort this nonsense out.

/LoveGolf 🤭

Update- had a 30 min Trackman and video lesson with the pro today. It's very clear what the issue is and very clear how to improve.

By about 15 mins in he had me hitting sweet 6 iron draws about 180yds. Now it's just about repetition and convincing myself to commit to this lower half change/improvement. Playing tomorrow so will see if it stands up with on course pressure.

Played quite well today- lesson has given me extra length- even surprised myself with longer tee shots!

 

real issue is I cant chip! fatted or thinned nearly every chip- reached all par 5's in two (beside the green) then fatted or thinned a par or bogie. Same with long par 4's.

Confidence is higher on long game but short game is killing me.

'Tis a goofy little game at time for sure, and so difficult to be able to put it all together and keep it together. Hang in there...the short game will come back, and then putting will "go away", so you have that to look forward to...😝

Shot a horrid 109 today. Every iron shot was horrible. Low left knuckleballs for the most part and topping it. Had one decent iron shot all day on the 170 yard par over water so that's a bright spot. 

Didn't realize until I got in the car to leave that I was lengthening my backswing too much and couldn't get the face to square properly. 

Wedges and putting we're on fire though. If I could have made it to a green in less than 3 or 4 strokes I probably would have had a good day.

41/41 at Mesa Del Sol with a quadruple 8 on #13. I had five legit birdie attempts and made one.  Missed what should have been a no brainer from just over 2 ft.  Oh, what could have been. 🤪

Didn’t keep official score. Couldn’t get the driver working today. But irons and wedge game was money.

About 6 greens were “temp” due to our prior snow storm. However, the course had all 18 holes open. Short track and wide open. Pretty fun and well taken care of for a Muni.

Just a (boring) update.............but no-one else will listen🙄😄

 

spent an hour and 100 chips at the chipping green today (after watching a youtube video on non rotational chipping issues).

1 thin and 99 excellent chips from any lie, and I mean any lie.......looking forward now to my next game.

Also have a follow up lesson with the pro on the long game to try and bed in the changes.

Played well. Shot a 42 37... that 37 is par on the back. The course finally opened back up as the snow melted. However they 18 was a little funky. You play 1-11 on the longer course, Eagle Talon. And 3-9 on Coyote Creek. Coyote is a much shorter and imo easier course. A lot of frozen greens still but was a fun day.

What a difference a day makes, shot really well today. Figured out the p790’s like a more upright swing. Seriously long and soaring irons today. Lots of fun.

Been two months since Ive played and two months since my left hand had surgery and 6 weeks for the right hand. Finally decidedto hit the course for a test. No idea how it woukd go as a bit weak and tender still. 

The first 3 holes I dropped 4 fours in the 80 to 100 range. Each hole I got a littke better. Almost gave up on #1 but I stuck it out. Pain was light just not mych strength .

It was 40 degrees with 20 mph gusts which didnt help. 4th hole was into the wind so I hit a 5i off the tee. Yea, long irons arent happening. 

The next two holes I piped river off the tee.40 yards short but felt good. 

Hit wedges, short irons. hybrid, driver, 5w, and they felt good. Any iron longer then a 7i Im not ready for. 

 .Planned to play a few more today , but Mother Nature dropped a couole inches of snow over night. 

My goal after surgery was to he hitting easy shot at the end of Feb start of March. The dream was to be playing fully mid zmarch but I think Ill still be going easy another month.

Follow up long game lesson yesterday where he took my swing apart- it sux 🙄

Standing up on backswing, hips stalling, arms and hands flipping, right foot staying planted on downswing etc etc

All fixable. Video really showed the issues clearly.

On a positive note face to path and AoA were occasionally excellent, and smash factor of 1.41 but not consistently.

Hard to change all this after years of swinging poorly, but at least its before the season starts.

Happy but disappointed in my play Tuesday. Worked early morning so had time to get a round in after. Got paired with an later age man and his and the son also had his toddler with him which was quite annoying but it was a $30 round so oh well. 

Shot 48/43 on a tees one back than I normally play at this course and the wind started to pick up a tad. Had a triple on the front and triple on the back and also a 3 putt on each side which of course were different holes from the triples. A lot of room to shave some strokes but overall was playing pretty good minus a few holes.

Well..... After boasting about my new 9-hole PB (on a short course), I naturally followed that up on a regulation 9 with a very messy 49. Which felt like a lot more - I topped a number of tee shots, duffed a bunch of follow on shots and blundered through several 3 putts.... 

Clearly did not meet my goals of hitting fairways and avoiding 3 putts!!

Next 9 hole round, on another new course, started off badly but on the Par 3 #3 I landed it pin high left but just off the green .. and managed a nice up and down for a par .. yea! After that I settled in and started landing on fairways and keeping the ball moving in the proper direction. Several bogies, one double after a tee shot went OB, one par and then a birdie on the last hole - which turned out to be the #1 handicap hole! Go figure.....

On the last day of our trip (South Texas, near S Padre Island) we played 18 and this time I started off really well .. +3 on the first 6 holes with .. an almost par (second putt hung on the edge), par, bogey, par, par with a 1 putt, bogey with a 3 putt (after hitting the Par 3 green).

Then the wheels came off and I stumbled through a major blow-up hole - water carry on the tee shot and then again on the approach. Not sure what I did but I seemed to completely lose the ability to connect clubhead to ball....

Took a few holes to get the rhythm going again, and finished up ok with a string of bogeys.

All in all I'm actually happy with the progress I'm making with my game. Especially the short game - when it's working it's getting pretty good. Yeah still a lotta work to do on full shots but with more lessons lined up and more practice time I really feel like I'm moving closer to playing sub-90s golf.

Well, it was quite accommodating of you to change your swing to make your irons happy..... 😆😆😆

I have many swings, unfortunately... I definitely wish I could just have one good one, instead of 5 different gashes. But some days my body and brain refuse to sync up, so I go with working that day...😞

First official round of the year for our league and my first round in while.
Posted a 88 under cold winter conditions. It was good to be back out on the course.
Highlight was the opening hole. Par 5 that I birdied.
Winter will be back tomorrow. Can't wait for the temp to warm up stop raining every other day lol

Scored my first post surgery round. Reasonably satisfied wven though I played the reds. Cant really hit long irons yet so no point of playing back quite yet. Just not a whole lot of hand strength to generate club speed quite yet. 

Shot 43 after doubles on 8 and 9. Missed a couple short par putts but not a surprise considering Im pretty rusty. Really a good round to be honest post hand surgeries....all good from here on out. 

Hovering mid 40s wirh an easterly wind gusting to 20 or so.

42/41 at Mesa Del Sol yesterday. Pretty stiff winds and they were coming from opposite of normal.  This made two par 5's reachable in two that normally are not. With a good round in progress, I normally would have taken my usual conservative route (layup), but a couple of us in the group with the distance ability gave them a go. Both are across water protecting the front of the green so, even with the aid of the wind, you need a flush hit.  On the first, I flushed my 3w, but pulled it left into a waste bunker - pin high however.  The second, I hit my 4i and it landed dead center of the green but rolled into a rear bunker.  My takeaway is that being able to reach these in two brings in just enough risk that, odds are, we're better off playing layups as typical.

Do any of you play some holes that are like this - where wind really changes how you play them?

Played the Wilson Triton with Hogan irons again today. Shot a birdieless 40/45:85. I gamed the Cleveland HB Soft putter.

 

Not bad for clubs that have not been used in a year.
