Rickp Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Snuck out for a quick 9 after a meeting while on travel. Played Liberty Forge in Mechanicsburg, PA. It was a fun little track and the weather couldn't have been better. One of our guys says it best "this is one of those courses you play like 5 times before you bring your buddies out to take them to the cleaners." Lots of blind/careful shots required and the easy the pins were set up reminded me of the greens keeper revenge thread that's been floating around. Absolute highlight of the round. After we finished, we shot for closest to the hole across the adjacent hole at an island green on the back nine. Guess who has two thumbs and knocked it in from 125?

Sluggo42 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Ran a "practice round" with my buddy yesterday, didn't keep score. This was one of those play two-three balls per hole days as it was kinda slow in front of us. Putted well Hit lots of good shots and worked on a new technique, for me anyways The new thing was keeping my back to the target just a hair longer. This resulted in a bigger draw. Best shot of the day was a 197 yard 3-wood, after a crummy drive. It was over water the whole way, and I played a pretty good cut on it, and it was right into the teeth of a two club wind. Made the green but left a 60+ foot putt that I snuggled up to within 2 feet for a par. Actually hit 3 really good 3-woods- not my strongest club normally MaxEntropy, cksurfdude and Rickp 3 Quote TSr2 on tensi blue stiff Speedzone 3-wood on Tensi blue S Epic Max 5 and 7 woods on HZRDUS Reg flex Paradym 9 wood on HZRDUS reg flex P770 / P790 combo set on Ventus R-6 shafts 6-AW T22 Denim Copper 54°, 58° on Kinetic X Trajectory ER3 or, E.A.S. #4 (“Fang” or “Adele”) ProV1x, or, Maxfli Tour X .Org 14 cart bag Adidas Tour 360 , or Sketcher shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucklehead Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Hole in one! 115 yard par 3 with a little helping breeze. Pin was in the right hand section of the green tucked over a bunker. Anything over the green on the line of the flag bounces 30 yards down a hill. The greens were soft, and I knew I could spin one back. I don't like hitting full swing wedges, so I hit a really easy punch fade PW that was right on line, but when I hit it, I thought for sure it was going over the green and bouncing down that hill. Somehow, it landed a few feet from the back edge of the green, paused for a moment, then took off backwards down the slope, spinning back 40 feet into the hole!Congrats!

STUDque Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Played a round at River Winds just across the river from Philly. Had an awesome time on a beautiful course and shot an 86 I can be proud of. The front tore me up with a 46 but came home with a 40.

Flipper554 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Had a good one today, parred the first 11 holes, couldn't get a birdie to drop. Made two bogeys in a row. More pars then finally a birdie on the 17th finished with one more par. 27 putts will bring in a good score. It was a fun day.

GolfJunkie302 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 36 for nine today. Three jacked for par on two, and made crummy bogeys on 3 and 5. Made a couple of late birds though. For some reason, I just couldn't spin my wedges. I hit a couple of shots that landed about two feet from the cup but rolled way over. Normally they just stop. Unusual...

dang3rtown Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Played Haggin Oaks on Sunday and dropped an 80' putt that started about 6" off the fringe! Felt pretty great! Went out and played an E9 the next day in about 45 minutes. Came to find out, if you pay for the 9, you are allowed to play as many rounds as you like. So, I ask what the record is, 54 holes in a day. That's it? I'll do that before lunch! Game on! The next time I have a full day, I'm going for the record! I would like to throw down 90 holes! Will keep you posted!

Kenny B Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Today was the first full day of play after the course was closed for aerification since Sunday afternoon. The greens were fine, but tees and fairways were plugged. Most of the plugs have been picked up except for a couple holes. We had to move the ball out of the holes in the fairway. A tale of two nines again. +2 on the harder front nine, and +8 on the easier back nine, so 82. I really thought I was going to have a great round, then I got to #10. Finished with a great par on the par 5 #18; took me 4 shots to get to the green after a bad tee shot and a worse second shot.

Jmikecpa Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Played the practice round for the Invitational at Fresh Meadow over the next two days. $100 a team cash pool for the day and took low gross so I am already a winner before I tee it up tomorrow. Played like a dog on the from and chucked up a 40 that was actually better than the number. Played solid on the back with a 35 for a 75 on the day. There were about four pin placements that were flat out unfair today but the course was in good shape.

TSauer Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Small league 2 man scramble tonight. We lost by 1 stroke because we hit two OB shots on hole 9 off the tee, that we ended up shooting a bogey. Then missed an EASY FREAKING PUTT to save par on the last hole. So frustrating. Then did a horse race and we were the final two teams playing. Soooo close to winning the money TWICE!

Chris O. Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Played in a four man scramble today. We shot 56 and lost by 6.

ole gray Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I had a good day yesterday shooting 38 on the front and 42 on the back. I missed a 4 footer on 18 which would have busted the 80 mark. I took it for granted as I rarely miss putts that short these days unless I no brain em.

Chris O. Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 56 and lost by 6? Sounds like there was a bit of going on. Well you could buy mulligans, and they had some players on their team. Gipper Finau was on the team, a guy who just got done playing at BYU and two other guys that are known local players. So there might have been some BS going on but they probably did shoot that. That and the course was short for THEM, not so much me.

ddryan Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Managed to sneak in 9 this afternoon- weather perfect- my game, well not so much. This is looking at my second shot on a good par 5 across Daniel's Run. About 210 out, My first swing I pulled a 4 Iron left, but since nobody else was out there, dropped a second, executed the swing properly and ended up on the green with a reasonable putt.
