When I was learning I threw several balls out of the bunker up on the green - and it felt great to get there. I thought it was fun to be out on the course no matter how I played. It was the good players who made it sound like I shouldn't be having fun. Sounds like your daughter enjoys sharing your time and pastime. Embrace that part of it and she'll keep coming back just to do something fun with you.

I read somewhere golf rules for beginners and it included things like tossing your ball back on to the fairway, improving your lie, and throwing the ball out of the sand.

My wife says she has a "No sand policy".  But she does pretty well getting out of it.

Big day tomorrow fellas.

I'm playing the second round of our Members League Championship. After we're done tomorrow, they'll cut the original field of the year's top 52 money winners to 20. The top 10 in Gross and Net advance to next Tuesday when we reset and play it off for the Gross and Net Championships.

I'm sitting okay, just inside the top 10 in both categories (you can only qualify in one) but I need a good round to advance. I'm not good enough to beat the top 5 or 6 guys in gross over two rounds, and the B flight guys, who are included in the field for this one flight event get a lot more strokes than me, so the net won't be easy either. That said, if I play well I should advance. If I don't it's on me... no excuses.

I like that we're playing what I think is the toughest of our 4 courses, so there should be quite a shake up tomorrow, and the guys who advance will have earned a chance for our most prestigious title next week.

I want that Net title bad LOL

Congrats on how you've played so far. Good Luck tomorrow - pulling for you!

I played bad golf today. By score, it was the second worst round of the year, but considering the worst was at Catawba Island (a strange course), this felt worse to me. I took a half-day vacation and met @MattF at Windmill Lakes. It already plays fairly long, but when you are hitting tee balls as poorly as I did today, It can be a beast. Ended up shooting 49/47 (par 70) with 6 (!!!!!!) penalties. Ugh. Easily the best shot of the day was trying Matt's Sub70 3W. I had to manually add it in Arccos, but it says it was about a 260 yard 3W (wind was crossing with a bit of help).

That was an absolute beast of a shot...may be worth getting an @GolfSub70 3 wood demo.

As for me, shot an 87 40/47. I'm more mad about the 47 than the entire score. Driver was a bit iffy, but the little tweak to my setup worked more often than not, allowing me to actually hit off the short grass more than normal. Irons continue to improve with the same tweak.

I'm hesitant to say it, but I may have figured out my timing issues off the tee, but the damage had already been done tonight. Besides that, Arccos stats show the best SG approach I've had since I've had the sensors.

Screenshot_20201013-194757.jpg.e69474eac71c6e4c7e7547954a010a78.jpg

Putting was kind of lame, but the greens were punched this week, so I'm not bothered by it too much, except I had two 10 to 15-ish foot birdie putts that were tracking nicely only to wobble to the side in the last few feet. I don't have a ton of confidence in a 5i right now, but I've learned that choking down about an inch on my 4h gives me that distance comfortably and I had two great shots doing that tonight, so that sort of addresses that gap in my bag, but may need to find a permanent solution.

I ended up +9 with another 3 penalties (all off the tee, of course) :barf: but won a skin with a par on the hardest hole on this 9. That makes three weeks in a row! Yes, I'm shocked too.

Ha!   Last nine holes for the league today, crashed and burned!!!

Last hole had a healthy crosswind into us from the left out of the SW, hit this in to out open face thing that went 100 yds offline, nearly wiped out a foursome on another fairway, yelled fore, should have yelled eight, had 170 to the green on my hole, had this funky downhill/ball above feet lie so much that I had to choke a 5 iron to the steel.  Didn't execute that one so good as I chunked it really bad and it went about 20 yds.

WInd now dead into my face, stomped over to ball pulled 7 iron and whacked it Happy Gilmore style, got it on front of edge of green about 50 ft. short of hole, did the smack and spit putt to about 3 ft. and they gave the bogey putt since that putt meant nothing to anybody, anywhere, even my mother would have let it go.

3 pars, 6 bogeys, nothing else, the sun has set on another year.   

I don't have a handicap but I am stuck at the "urinate" level, (sound it out).   Wild tees shots, mediocre chipping/pitching, less than clutch putting.   Those guys who score better than me hit the tee ball in the fairway, get the approach shot near or on, but get it up and in.  They make the putts.     It sounds simple, but it really is a huge leap.

The body is failing, muscles ache, balance is bad, flexibility and strength need to be improved.    The next season starts in six months.

Anybody know a good golf-related fitness trainer in Metro Detroit?

Oh, what an up and down day!  Mixed bag of junk, mainly.  Had 4 double bogeys, one of which was a 4 putt on a par 3.  Another 3 putt on a different hole.  Putting stroke wasn't bad, but I had issues with burning the edge and putting too far beyond the hole.  Mixed in 3 birdies.  Limped in with an 81.

I know that limp.  The birdies are good, keep those in your kitchen, kick everything else out.

No, the next season starts next week.  Now is the time to work on those issues that you don't work on while you play all year.   😃

Nope, don't know anyone in Detroit.

Yeah, your right, can't shut the motor off....

The body really needs work, yoga, yogurt, whatever.  And I need one of those fancy bio-mechanical fitness evaluation things,  Where am I?  Somebody needs to put me on a path of sanity, "my swing feels like an unfolded lawn chair"...

A winter academy would be really cool.  Maybe I tryout for the Oakland U golf team? 

A lot of the courses near me shut it down in the winter, and the weather can end all debate about playing golf anyway, cold is one thing,  four inches of snow on the ground from Jan to March will mess with your short game.

The local golf dome turns into the local soccer dome at 430pm and on weekends.   The personal golf mat/net with launch monitor capability is highly coveted around here.

Whew!!!!!

I drained a 15 foot par putt on the par 5 18th, which enabled me to make the cut today ON THE NUMBER. It got me into a 3 way tie for 8th, which took up the last of the 10 spots in the Net division. This means I advance with the top 10 gross players to next week when we reset and shoot it out for the Gross and Net titles.

That closing hole is a beast, tight fairway for your drive OB on the right, red stakes left. You then have to carry a big wetland area on your second, and on your third, water surrounds the green on the left side of and behind the green. We call it the "hole where good rounds go to die" but it saved me today! Two of the guys in my foursome weren't as fortunate. They both got knocked out with a 7&8 respectively, and I snuck in the back door.

I didn't make a putt all day until that final hole, and really didn't play well, but I grinded on every shot, even when I thought I was out of it late on the back nine. Once again I learned in tournament comps, every stroke matters. Keep plugging away, you never know... after two rounds of golf, holing one final 15 foot putt was the difference.

BTW I also got a nice little bonus, winning the CTP which gets me a free round of golf! 

Woohoo. Congrats. A reset sounds nice. Good Luck on the next step.

Apart from the bomb of a drive off the first tee.  Today was a horrific round, one of those that you wish you’d stayed at home.  Not fun in the slightest way.  So bad I am not even going to share the score.. 😢

What the Eh F is going on?!  I was not releasing the club, slicing the crap out of the driver and 3 wood.  Block fades on the irons all day... I played an extra 5 holes to see what was going on without anyone in my group, or behind/in front.  A little better, but still something is off...  

going out with the boss on Sunday, have to get that junked squared away... especially for the tournament on Wednesday... 😳

Was stuck behind slow people again on the front.  Then stuck between the same slow people and a single on the back pushing us.

I think it caused all of my issues.  I mean it worked... but I was holding off all of my shots,  which lead to the big right miss.

going to look at the bottom end of the bag closer to see what I can do to get better full swing shots in the 120 and in range.

yes, rhetorical question.  😁
