How'd you play?

[Canucklehead]

I didn't play today however I am proud of my wife as she won 1st place gross in her women's league (Eagles Greens) annual championship. Brought home $135.00 bucks plus two gift cards that cover green fees for some nice courses in the area.

Date night!!!

Played the course that I'll be playing in the tournament next week, this morning. We played almost 4 holes in the dark. It rained a little so it's still dark at 6:45am( we tee off at 5:45). First time I made 2 birdie in the dark 1st and 3rd.

 

It's not a short course but I can't hit driver on many holes on one of the hole I hit 7wd/7wd on, and another dogleg par 5 I hit 5wd/7wd to the fringe. Lost 2 balls but still finished with 76. Almost ready for prime time.

 

My brother and I played together but when we were on the second tee there's a guy who drove up and wanted to join us. He played 3 holes in the dark without any kind of light or glow in the ball. He topped almost every shots, I felt bad for him.

4 over playing in warm sunny conditions for a change. Course has dried up really well in the past week.

 

Missed birdie putts from 3 and 5 foot, other than that putted well. Drove it well, and for a change hit my irons ok.

[Berg Ryman]

Had one of those bipolar rounds in my skins game this morning. +8 on front, even par on the back. Didn't make a putt the whole round, had 5 birdies lip out. Won two skins though. Also payed a $5 Nassau against the other threesome, lost that too, Front and Total. So bet loss of a dollar. Not ideal.

[Rusty1885]

I didn't hit the ball that well today but didn't score bad either. Shot 76 but almost every shots seem to stray a little left or right off line. They are not bad shots but just off by a bit. Hmmm! One of those day.

[revkev]

Shot 86 at Copperhead yesterday and 80 on the golf island course at Innisbrook. It's every bit as tough as Copperhead.

 

I struggled with the rough around the green all weekend.

Horrible 40/50 today......with one birdie on the front nine....guess I was thinking too much about the drive to Hilton Head Island after Golf. We arrived just 1 hour before the Kentucky / Florida football game tonight.

 

 

 

Go Kentucky!

Although I didn't score well; 2 OB and a ball in the water,  I was pretty happy with most aspects of my game.  I rolled the ball well and my pitching was pretty good.  Next issue to work on is not hitting the ball on the toe.  Not coming over the top; verified on a launch monitor.  Thinking I am either standing up a touch  or pulling the club in closer to me.

Shot a 2 over 73 today in slow conditions. Apparently today was when every member over 90 played their annual round. The group in front of us was two full holes out of position on the 4th tee. Only saving grace was that they called it a day after 9.

44/44= 88

39 putts

9 Fairways

6 GIR

Got an Eagle on a par 5 yeppy for me.

Annual family shotgun scramble yesterday. 2 old blokes and me shot a 1 under 67. Not bad. I hit a couple of good drives, even better when my FIL mentioned that I was not getting my left shoulder under my chin.

 

Once I did that, I was GTG. 286 yard tee shot ending up in the bunker right in front of one hole. I'll take that at 46 with a busted arse!

[Kenny B]

I got off to a bad start yesterday; no warmup, no putting, just hit the first tee.  I won't be doing that again.  We had an early tee time because we wanted to get out in front of a tournament. Last weekend we were behind a tournament and and quit after 2 hours playing only 6 holes.  At least this time we didn't have anyone in front of us.  

 

Shot 43/40 that included 3 double bogeys.  Putter didn't start working until the back nine; I finally made a 20 foot right-to-left birdie on #16, then finished par-par.

[Rusty1885]

Great day for me. Last potential round at the course I'm playing in the tournament this Saturday. Joined up with 2 guys on the second tee, turned out one works at the course. I told him about the tournament and he was giving me all of his local knowledge. Information overload . After a few holes he got my shot patterns and distance down and start plotting the shot plan for me on each hole.

 

I played spectacularly well when I don't have to think about where to put the shots. Shot 35-35, 2 under. It could have been more but I didn't follow his advice on 3 holes, mostly when he told me how much longer it plays I still didn't play enough club.

 

I feel much better about this Saturday.

[Rickp]

Excited to finally get out after a 3 week layoff due to some illness and Hurricane Irma.

Played like dog cr$9. 44-43 and actually wasn't something could feel good about. Nothing was good except a few decent putts that dropped which saved it from being a 90.

Got home and called a teaching Pro I know and seeing him Monday for a few well needed sessions.

Played fairly decent Sunday in my league final four. Shot 75 with 27 putts. Hit 1 ob ball and had a few less than stellar second shots....but I was super happy with my putting and short game... And the trophy

Another rollercoaster high school golf match (we got to play a very nice course today):

Hole 1: Routine Par

Hole 2: Bogey from the middle of the fairway from 100 yards (chunked a wedge just short because my ball was on a 50 degree downslope and missed a 8 footer for par)

Hole 3: Driver up near the green.  Chipped to 10 feet, hit a great put, but it somehow did not go in.  It went all the way around the hole without touching anything.  I have no idea how it did not go in.

Hole 4: Stuffed an 8 iron 175 with a little breeze to 5 feet, birdie.

5: 530 yard par 5, driver to 210 yds, 4 iron to 10 feet, two putt birdie.

6: Ugly tee shot, ugly bogey.  My par putt stopped right on the lip.

7: on a 315 yard par 4, I almost had a hole in one.  My drive landed in the center of the green, then lipped out on the back pin, and stopped 4 feet above the hole.  I yanked the eagle putt and had to make a 6 footer coming back for birdie.

8-9: Ugly bogey on an easy par three (missed another really short putt), but came back with a nice 20 footer for birdie on number 9.

Overall, I had 4 birdies and 3 bogeys for a one under 34 but left the round pretty frustrated, even though it was one of my best scoring matches of the season, because If I could've just made a putt, I would of had at least another birdie and an eagle or two.  I need to cut out the dumb mental errors that resulted in my bogeys because I can't always make this many birdies to make up for all my dumb mistakes.  Overall though, I hit the ball pretty great, and the score was good, but I left the match feeling like I had just lost a chance for the nine holes of my life.

 

 

I just added up that I had 7 birdies in my last two nine hole matches, but yet only had an aggregate 18 hole score of -1.  Too many bogeys!!

[Kenny B]

I shot my best front nine score this year... +1; missed a 5 foot breaker for par on the 200 yard par 3 #8 hole.  Then I followed that up with a stellar +6 on the back nine; two doubles.  But the 79 was my first sub-80 round on my course since tax day in April.

[Rusty1885]

I play a pretty boring round of golf this morning. It scared me a bit because I don't want to use up all of good Golf before my tournament this Saturday. It's supposedly my last practice round.

 

I followed the note I made over several rounds in the yardage book and pretty much hitting fairways and greens or close to it. Get up and down or 2 putts on most holes. Shot 34-36 for yet another 2 under par round. This is exactly the round I want to shoot on Saturday.

 

Knock on wood and I'm seriously don't want to jinx it but please give me another round like this.

[GolfJunkie302]

Rough week. Three nine hole rounds, 46, 40, 42. First round, first hole. My partner gives me a yardage with his rangefinder, "It's 150," he says. I hit my perfect 150 club exactly 150 yards. Lands gracefully in the bushes. I said, "That is not 150." He shoots it again, "Oops, sorry, it's actually 130." "Do I need to hit another?" "No, saw exactly where it went." Ended up losing it and had to run back. Next hole, par three. Tee shot way right into a hazard, or so I think. Take the drop and continue to play the hole, ending up with a quad bogey. Ended up finding my original tee shot in a perfectly nice spot... Pretty much how my week was like.

Currently playing with aerated fairways and it's a little wet out from morning dew. This is hell.

81 today with 3 doubles off and 5 lost balls.

 

I need to get to rid of this hook. It's killing me and I just feel lost off the tee.

[MGoBlue100]

Snuck out yesterday; pretty mundane 86, but could have been 106! Short game saved me; (Ping Glide 2.0 wedges, THANKS MGS! and Mati MAMO putter (also THANKS MGS!)) didn't have worse than a bogey until 17 (triple ) then hit a bomb on 18 & made bogey from 105 in the middle of the fairway. Ugh...

Did try the Vice Pro for the first time and was very impressed. Doubt the ball felt the same about me.

Last weekend played mostly pretty well (but .. not completely well...) in a charity outing (upstate NY) that my wife and I have participated in the past few years running; one of her good friends is one of the event sponsors. Anyway, we were a 3-man team playing best ball and ended up with a team 78 (gross) .. which I'm really happy with .. especially considering the two other guys only play 2 - 3 times a year! And one guy only started playing a few years ago .. in this tournament! But everyone contributed.

 

We did add a "ghost" member to our team so that we could take 4 shots, if needed, and yes .. many times it was needed. And our friend "Will" (named after the Geico commercial: "Fire at Will!") pulled off a number of good shots all over the course to save Par a bunch of times. Almost made a few Birdies, too, but we just couldn't get those first putts to drop. Way to go, Will! ;-) Ha, but it was all for a good cause and we were certainly not ever in contention for first place!

 

I was able to contribute a few tee shots (surprising myself) and a number of approach shots, long and short, plus some greenside shipping. Putting was also good but here each team member definitely contributed .. including the "weakest" golfer who sunk several clutch putts for us.

 

Didn't win any prizes .. despite dropping a few hundred on raffle tickets .. but again: all for a good cause .. and we got two good meals, a couple of beers and a great round of golf out of it. And the real winner? "Friendship", as my friend Joe kept quipping.

 

So anyway, one of my "takeaways" from the day is that even though I played way waaaay much better than last year (and all prior years) - I'm starting to "get" a better first-hand insight into just how hard it is to score really low over 18 holes .. by yourself! .. in this game!!!

[Kor.A.Door]

45-38, the driver has been put in timeout for a little bit. He has the pull hooks and is getting benched. No drivers on the back nine and hit All but 1 fairway. Hit driver 2 times on the front and it cost me 4 strokes

[Kenny B]

Tied my all-time best score at my course today.  Shot +1 on the front and even par on the back for a 73.  I shot 73 once last year.  The Ping Sigma G Doon has really been working.  I love this putter!!

 

I chipped in for birdie on #3, the #1 handicap hole.  I birdied the par 5 #9 hole, then followed it up with birdies on #10 and #11.  I thought I blew the round on the par 5 #18, driving into the fairway bunker short of the dogleg.  Punched out to the corner, then tried to reach the green ending up in the bunker short.  The pin was back, so I had about a 25 yard bunker shot; hit it to 8 feet and made par.

 

I'm worried about tomorrow.  I've had this feeling before.  When I shoot a really good round, I expect to shoot something similar the next time, and I usually end up disappointed.  

[Rusty1885]

I had the best day in Golf this year. The tournament turned out to be a 4 man-scramble. My team consists of 3 90s shooter and I. We shot -4.

 

I've never done a 4 scramble before, it was a hoot. After 3 holes we had a solid plan. Although from the look of it, we didn't win anything but we were a foot shy of closest to the pin and 15 yard short of longest drive.

 

My job split between playing it safe or go for it. For the first time I actually felt comfortable and thrived under pressure. I sank many key putts or put the ball in play through out which elevated the rest of the team's spirit and boosted their performance. They stepped up when I missed and kept the ball in play.

 

Love the involuntary fist pump after sinking the clutch putts the last few holes. That was awesome.

 

I will do this again in a heartbeat.

I find that most of the time the guys that shoot 90's typically lack distance, and usually slice the ball out of play, so most of their shots while shooting 90's are from the tee, and from hitting it out of play, when playing in a scramble, they likely get to play with clubs they never get to play, therefore they hit better shots, like instead of having to hit driver 3 wood wedge to reach a longer par 5, you hit a good drive and they get to use 6 or 7 iron. And since most times in this format you putt for birdie vs chipping, they make some putts too, they can usually putt ok, but struggle chipping it close, so even though you have high hcp players you can actually score pretty well with them, as long as you strike the ball well and give them a chance with different clubs than they may be used to.

Yep exactly. After a few holes I started my cheerleading routine and pumped them up by reassuring them after shots on the fairways or greens. When it's on the green I'd say that's a guarantee par so we have a free run at birdies.

 

I also found that they are often hard on themselves, it's ok to hit bad shots once on a while. Even good shots they didn't react happily, I cheered on. Bad shots, who cares. Good shots hoo ray!

[Nunfa0]

Had a game of contrasts today, 44 for the front 9 with an 8 on the par 5 seventh. Was hitting the ball well but getting no result for it. Got lucky on 9 and kicked out of the trees. Just missed the birdie putt but felt that things were about to change. Next nine holes went birdie, birdie, birdie, par, birdie, par, bogey, par, bogey for a back nine of 34 and a total of 78 on a par 73 course. Walked off the course very happy indeed.
