Rickp Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 52* this morning @ 7:20 Tee Time. Little chilly but not horrible. Hit the ball pretty well but hands were cold. One nice bird on 336yd par 4. Hit a decent 7wood 2nd shot to about 6’. Getting used to the 7w and really starting to count on it. cksurfdude, MattF, rkj427 and 5 others 8 Quote Rick Left Hand, Driver; PXG 0311XF Cypher 50 gr Senior 5 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 7 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 5 hybrid; Cally Steelhead, Hazardous R2 Irons; Mizuno JPX 923HM 7-GW Recoil 460 F2 Wedges; Titleist S9 54*, Mizuno SW 56* Putter; Waaay too many to list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rickp Posted February 7 Popular Post Share Posted February 7 50* @ 7:20 Tee Time cold for us. Just kind of hacking around but on 6th hole 110 yds hit a gap wedge and hit the bottom of the pin and ball ricocheted about 8’ from hole. Missed the birdie.

Popular Post Will_Mac Posted February 8 Popular Post Share Posted February 8 40/37/7712 fairways, 10 greens, 33 putts, 2 birds, two 3-putts.Most of my lost strokes were from around and on the green. Save for a horribly fanned full-swing PW approach that fell woefully short and right, that is.Coming from where I've been, I'll take it. sirchunksalot, rkj427, Kenny B and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryF Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) Typically don’t practice or play in Jan/Feb but this year in spite of some very cold temps, we have had some 60s, so the past month I’ve had a handful of range sessions and played 3 weeks ago. Have been working on a tough home improvement project the past 8 days, but finished yesterday. Had a decent practice session a few days ago, and again this morning that i summarized in the ‘What did you practice today’ thread. Am working on 2 swing/setup changes. Temp got up to 72* today and played 9 this afternoon and felt I did well. Shot 42 (par 36) that included 2 double bogies, 3 pars, 1 birdie and one 3 putt by missing a 3’ putt. Greens were very tricky - extremely fast w/ grain, extremely slow against grain. Because of coloring on the greens, they were difficult to read and kind of unpredictable. I chunked a couple partial wedge shots (typically very good with these), but also hit some very good shots while staying committed to my changes.

Popular Post Kenny B Posted February 9 Popular Post Share Posted February 9 My wife was playing with the ladies group today so I decided to keep practicing my short game. It was sunny, 48º and about a 10mph breeze; nice day, so I thought... why not walk 9 holes! I warmed up; got some short game practice in; putted and got called to join a twosome on the tee. Turns out it was one of the "kids" that works in the pro shop and his buddy. Of course they were playing from the Blue tees, so I decided to play there; I've been playing Whites and haven't teed it up from the Blues in almost a year. They said it was fine if I played the Whites, but they were in a cart and I was walking; it just seems easier to play the same tees. They bot hit the ball pretty well, but were all over the place; their short games were worse than mine!! Overall, I think I scored better than they did. I shot 44 (+7)... two doubles and three bogeys which is a little worse than I used to score a year ago, but not terrible. However, it reinforced my decision to move up to the Whites. I hit a total of 3 iron shots excluding wedges; one poorly struck 8i that went in the water on #3 for one of my doubles, 5i off the tee on the par 3 #4, and a mis-clubbed 9i after a poor drive and a layup on #7 (my second double). Every other shot besides driver and wedges was a fairway wood. I hit some pretty good 3W shots, but I don't like to hit it on most every hole. #backtothewhites MattF, cksurfdude, Splatt and 8 others 11 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Splatt Posted February 9 Popular Post Share Posted February 9 I'm swinging it pretty well at the moment. The swing just feels very comfortable, especially off the tee, which has always been my achilles heel. I won my monthly social game with the group I play with this weekend.

Syks7 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I found the basement of my game today. 52/49 101.... Not a particularly difficult course but I had a day like I haven't had in some time. I was just totally lost and could not find any feel no matter what I did. It was frustrating to say the least. 2 Shanks and one block slice OB did significant damage. 8,9,7. but the reality was that from tee to almost green I was atrocious. Very short approach was fine and putting was serviceable otherwise it might have been 107. Didn't figure out what the fault was until I was walking to the 17th tee even though it should have been obvious from the shanks and the lack of power. A healthy dose of Early extension helped along with a whole lot of head lifting. Such a weird day compounded by a fault that isn't one of my normal mistakes. I was frustrated but realized its such a huge outlier that there's no sense in dwelling on it. At least I know how to diagnose that fault now.

Syks7 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) 44 minutes ago, Kenny B said: Next round will be better! It has to be! There were times today where I was questioned whether I'd ever actually swung a golf club before. Then, when I remembered that I had and managed to banish those negative thoughts from my head I'd step up and take another swing -- which would lead to me into questioning whether my memory of the game was an illusion. This would inevitably lead to me questioning whether I was mentally sound. All joking aside I think I've come a long way in the last year. I would have been apoplectic if I'd had a day like this last year. Now I'm capable of recognizing this as a day that is in no way representative of my actual game. It also helps that I have a weird habit of playing some of my best golf after a humbling like this.
