How'd you play?

[PING Apologist #9]

If you are playing in the same wind we have 300 miles up I-84, then I am not surprised.  Brutal up here.

 

Today, my wife and I played with my Dodge dealer service manager.  He usually plays fairly decent but I think the wind got to him today; multiple triples and quads!!  I struggled early to a front nine 46 because well, it was 7:30am, cold and windy.  By the turn the sun came out and I warmed up but it was still windy.  I managed a 39 on the back nine for a round of 85 that included a double bogey on #18.

 

Tomorrow we tee off at 9:30am... Oh yeah, it's supposed to rain around the back nine.

Wish I could blame the wind but alas...it was all me and a swing that was just wrong most of the day-Hope today is better for you up there despite the moisture!

Lol, carded another 82. This time it was a 40 + 42. Missed a few fairways that I should of hit. And again left 6 putts an inch low. Those putts will start falling soon, not really going to worry about anything.

 

Going to try and sneak out to the range tomorrow and get some swings in.

Probably belongs in the rant thread, but today on the course I could do no right..! Got to our club early enough to hit a bucket and was very happy with the look and feel of everything. Hit the chipping green and was "ok" and same with putting. Generally was happy and loose going in.

 

First tee...toed directly right and then nothing worked all round except for the occasional chip or pitch. Otherwise a crap round that I go ZERO positive data from at all. VERRRRY frustrated, a little pissed and mostly humbled...

 

Fine.

 

I'll try again next week after some more practice...Hope to have a more positive report then-CHEERS ALL!

Happens to us all man, happens to us all ☹️ just hunker down and figure out what went wrong, then go shoot your low round of the year next week!!

Don't think you're alone, we ALL have horrendous rounds but we ALL get right back out there. I was told you have to be like a baseball relief pitcher, no memory! Forget it and go kill it!

I apologize to anyone I just subjected to reading that. But I had to get it out of my system and I hate being that guy that breaks down every shot of his round to his buddies when you see them in the clubhouse after.

So I guess that means we aren't your buddies.

 

We're here for you though!

 

I got rained out so my son and I sat on the back porch, drank beer, smoked cigar and played Risk. He beat me but it was a great way to spend three hours on a rainy day.

Wondering if I have a similar issue...

Each time that I have been fit for lie angle, it's always been 2 up, since I made the irons longer, it will make them more upright anyway, so I wanted to see what the ball flight was if I left them as standard, but the prevailing ball flight with probably 98% of my swings were a fade, anywhere from 8-10 yards. Some were more but some were less. I read the other day that for every 1 degree that you move upright it will adjust the ball around 4 yards. So my previous fittings for lie angle still seem to be correct. With my prior irons my ball flight was a nice draw, I could not draw these irons even when I tried, the best I could get was somewhat straight. I will post in after a couple rounds to let y'all know how the ball flight is.

Hmmmm, my irons are also 2.5 upright. Like to see where this goes.

This should bring the ball flight back to more neutral. I didn't mind a fade, but it was just way too much. A 2-3 yard fade would be okay, but 8-10 with an occasional 15 just brought way too much trouble into play .

Weekly league round today. Cold windy cartpath only. Same story different day lol.

We started the round with 24 guys and finished with 20. Four dropped after 9 calling it a day.

Wind chill of 36 with a steady 15 mph wind will do that to you.

I carded a 85 and by hole 14 I was rushing all my shots. Wedge game and putting was just a guess between the cold and the gloves. Oh how I long for our southern heat to hurry up and get here. Maybe next weekend will be better. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

I shot an 81 yesterday.But with how I struck the ball.The score should've easily been sub par.Every full swing was about as best as a ball can be struck

[Peanut05]

Played Saturday morning and by the time the 5th or 6th hole came, I was ready to go home.  I just couldn't get a solid strike on the ball with just about any club.  I finally started hitting better on the back nine, but by that time, I just didn't really care any more. I still won $5, but that's only because the guys I was playing with played even crappier than I did.  Planning on getting back out tomorrow and again Saturday morning, so hopefully it'll come around by then. 

[DPattGolf]

Played my first league tournament Saturday. Didn't play great but was able finish with an even par 71 which was good enough to win the scorecard playoff for 1st. Also won the Long Drive with a 330 yard drive on 18. Too bad I 3-putt parred to finish though!

Don't have to set the world on fire. Just gotta beat the rest of the field. $130 payday ain't shabby either. Great stuff!

 

What ball did you play?

I'm going standard on the Cobra F8s one length per the Cobra fitting. I'm normally 1* flat on Mizuno clubs. Well see if the fitter was right...

Got an extra $35 for the long drive too.    Well it was a test round for the Snell MTB Black of course

It doesn't hurt to play a few rounds with them to see if the need for adjustment is there. It's one of those things where you just know. I've been playing a long time and I know my typical ball flight. When the lie angle is off it's something you just know, and it doesn't cost much to have them bent

[JAGolfore]

Got to play Sultan's Run yesterday in Jasper IN. Very nice course. It was very wet and the greens were punched but still had a great day. Shot a 74 which for the conditions I was happy.

 

No golf today as it's snowing (Donald Ross Course was on tap) but should be good for the Pete Dye Course tomorrow.

Yall are my buddies! 

 

But I don't get to see yall in the clubhouses after rounds. I've yet to meet a MGS member who is a regular on the forums. (Sadly)

It'll happen one of these days though!

Day 2 of the Spring Blitz......Day 1 was 85:+4 points. Day 2 was 83:+5 points. So I was +9 and grabbed Second Place.....$400! The winner was +7 both days, beating me by 5 points. Out of 35 players, only 8 finished at Even or better. The wind on aSunday was really brutal......but I am very .

Golf league was snowed out for the second week in a row.  Last week it had all melted by the afternoon and I found an open course to play but this week no such luck.
