pulledabill Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Getting some sun finally and course is drying. Played 18 tonight. +2 front but struggled on the back and staggered in with an 83. Hit 68 percent of fairways and 75 percent Wednesday. Flattened my driver swing and it has greatly improved my game. Instead of snapping a tee on most every box, I think I used two today and about the same yesterday. Havent lost a ball right but will pull one a bit but not enough to really find trouble. Pretty exciting actually especially with the groubd drying out I will probably be longer then ever before at 50 years old.

Kenny B Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I marked this day on my calendar... first day this year that I wore shorts!! Well, except for the two weeks in Palm Springs. It was 75* sunny with a slight breeze. My wife and I played nine holes after she got off work. I had one birdie, one bogey, and one double for a +2 score of 39. Oh wait... I had another double after I got home. tony@CIC, pulledabill, Rickp and 1 other 4 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...

Nunfa0 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Beautiful day today, terrible golf though. Had only 4 pars and 1 birdie to go with 9 bogies and 4 others "shudder". The one birdie was on a par 3 and gets me $10 so that eased the pain.

Kenny B Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Ive been wearing shorts but my requirement us 60 degrees. That's about mine too, and it's been over 60 several times this spring. The problem is that 60* has been accompanied by 20-30 mph winds... like today.

I think I better start practicing those little half wedge shots. I'm really shocked at how well the stock shaft is responding. I'm pumped to say the least and my custom shaft will arrive Tuesday. It might have to sit on the bench for a bit.

Jmikecpa Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Actually got to play 18 today at my club. Started on the back and some good and some not so good. Shot 7 over 41 on the back to limp to the first tee. Shot 1 under on the front with the first eagle of the season to shoot 77. Will take t for the first round on a windy day. Did get to see something for the first time. My partner chunked a wedge into the water off the tee on the par 3 10th then promptly holed out his second for a routine three.

fozcycle Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Played horrible but scored well. Shot 38/47:85 and tied for 3rd in the points game at +2........$42. I lost a sleeve of Q Star Tours to the many lakes of Pebble Creek.....that's 3 penalties which would have me in first place if I had none....LOL. Did have one birdie and putted for several more.

pulledabill Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Played a quick 9. 2 over after 2 and wasnt feeling it. Pulled a driver left off 3, hit a house REALLY hard! Didnt even bother with a provisional as I was pretty shook up and was going to call it a day after meeting Mr and Mrs homeowner. Got up there and nobody looked to be home.Found my ball in bounds so I plugged on to a +5. House literally sits 10 feet from OB stakes. It was the hardest hit on a house Ive made. Not my best evening as I feel like it was a sign that I had painting to do instead of golf.The plus side...A new member is pretty easy on the eyes😠STUDque, fozcycle, MattF and 1 other 4 Quote DRIVER: Cobra F9 10.5 Tensei AV Blue 65g 3W- Callway XR PRO 16 stiff 5W- Alpha- Mitsubishi Diamana Redboard w/band Irons- Mizuno JPX 919 Tours with S KBS Tour shafts Hyrbid- TM 4h mid-rescue Vokey- Vokey SM5 51 degrees, SM7 Wedges 54 and 58 1/2 half 3 degrees upright Putter- Taylor Made Rossa Monza Mini Spider Ball-ProV1 and AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 My wife and I played today... it is our 11th anniversary. On our wedding day we rented a 9-hole executive course for the day, had the ceremony on the 1st tee with about 100 people in attendance. We were married by a jazz musician from Seattle that we have played golf with for several years. The ceremony took 2 minutes, we turned around and teed off. Everyone was welcome to play as much as they wanted. I think our group was a 9-some!! One couple that was in that 9-some played with us today. Sunny, but lots of wind... again!! Every part of my game forgot to show up. It was embarrassing, especially when the GHIN computer says that my score is higher than usual; do I want to post it. No I don't want to post it, but it was what I shot. Terrible... just terrible.

HardcoreLooper Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Shot an 83 today. A couple of fat iron shots and a bladed wedge out of a concrete-like bunker cost me at least three shots today, and my longest putt made was maybe five feet. Arccos is telling me that I pretty much suck all around, but my iron game is the worst of the worst.

Peaksy68 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Awful start on Saturday, 9 over after 6 holes. Found my game and managed to grind it out to finish 12 over. First round in ages with virtually no wind and I wasted it. Played interclub matchplay today, at what would be a Muni in the US. Certainly not the conditions I'm used to, bare or patchy fairways for the most part, and incredibly soft greens. Started poorly again, was 3 down after 3. Improved from there, ended up losing 2 and 1, played 4-17 in 1 over but gave up too big a start. Highlight was a 3 wood from 260 yards to set up a 12 foot eagle putt. Left the putt an inch short, but had 3 putts to win the hole.

tommc23 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I played pretty poorly today. Putted better than my last round for the most part but had one 5 putt where my stroke took a break. I don't carry an official handicap so I stopped really counting. My irons had no distance until I figured out I was taking my club back way too fast. Once I figured it out I played better but my driving didn't work that well and made me work hard to get close to par. It makes me wonder if I need to get my clubs readjusted I'm thinking my lie may be off.
