Popular Post CarlH Posted June 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2022 80 on my home course today -- one double, no birdies (shot to my course handicap). Didn't feel like I was hitting my driver as well as I have been again today. Not sure what's up with that. Putter was a bit better today, although I did miss a couple of makable putts, burning edges or lipping out. Shot of the day was 155 yard uphill sand shot with my 6 iron to about 12 feet below the pin (missed the birdie putt, but did tap in for par). Played our MGA weekly game of 2 best net from the foursome. We shot -20 and had first place until a 3some got their blind draw and eeked us out with a -21. We also played team skins -- 4 skins were claimed and my team took 2 of them. Our 15 handicap player had 2 birdies on stroke holes and shot 38 on the front side. The B player (6 handicap from the forward tees) shot a 75. Our D player didn't play all that well, but did manage to help us out on a few holes with strokes.

Popular Post Golfspy_CG2 Posted June 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2022 Pretty Good Day despite the final score of 90 Had a Hole In One...My 2nd one, the first coming 3 years ago. I guess they are going to come to me late in life...ha Details are the brand new PXG Gen 5 0311 XP 9 iron from 129, it was a back pin so unfortunately I did see it drop, but I saw it take a bounce and land right near the flag stick. Funny thing, the two ohter guys in the group, both hit it to about 6 feet and would have had closest to the pins, if not for this. Both made birdie, so 3 of us played the hole in -4, pretty good! I had two bad holes ruin what would have been my lowest round of the year, and technically throw in a third one, If Ihad just made bogey on each of those I would have shot an 82 which would hae tied my best ever, which was also the round with my first Hole in One. Instead shot a somewhat disappointing 90 consideirn the way I hit it for 15 holes. sirchunksalot, tommc23, MattF and 15 others 13 5 Quote TSR1 9.0 Graphite Design DI 5R TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM8 48F/54/58 D Grinds Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I didn't get too excited as we knew all three had hit it close, and only two balls were on the green. One of the two was a yellow wihich I wasn't playing. So I knew I had a 50/50 chance. I knda wish I had a better reaction but I think I just said Bazinga when I saw it....ha.. But I don't know if I've ever seen a group go -4 on the same hole before. tommc23, Tom the Golf Nut, Sluggo42 and 8 others 2 2 7 Quote TSR1 9.0 Graphite Design DI 5R TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM8 48F/54/58 D Grinds Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have found my limit as the last 27 holes or so have been filled with tired and sore swings. I typically practice a few times a week but never get to play this much. I will say my putting his gotten significantly better in this short spurt off feel alone but with that comes lots of lazy swings. I'd like to say 5 rounds in 6 days is too much but given the opportunity I would most certainly do it again. In the Yoop huuh.

Popular Post cksurfdude Posted June 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2022 So I'd like to say "Well" as in, "I played well" but it was more like "well ... wtf was that?!?!?!?" Could not hit a tee shot even if you'd held a gun to my head, and then let myself get demoralized about that so had trouble making solid second .. and third .. shots... Wasn't all horrible, though - had a nice up & down on the first hole (to save bogey), and then again on the next hole (another bogey). But after that things got even messier and even the wedges started arguing and fighting with me The one consistent good thing was putting, happily enough -- two 1 putts on those first two holes with the up & downs, then several good 2 putts with tap-in seconds, one more 1 putt on a Par 3 (another up & down for another bogey), and had one 3 putt where I just totally misread the first putt and the ball broke _away_ from the hole and kept running running running further away .. but hit a good second with good speed but ball tracked straight instead of breaking slightly right to left... So 16 putts for 9 holes .. happy with that .. and we won't talk about the total gross score!
