Shot a 79 today... miracles do happen.  I committed to playing a fade off the tee all day, I had some crap drives into the wind that only traveled 230~ yards, and some down wind shots in the 270+ range. One hole i hit a 3 wood to compare to the driver.  263 3 wood, and like 266 driver.  I really need to figure out what the heck is happening there. I only had one double cross drive, it was pretty bad, but I ended up saving par somehow from a long ways back.

short game let me down all day, the grass is funky right now and it’s pretty mushy out there, so I’ll blame some of it on that.  Great day out there though, and I even picked up a new winter hat, last one on the counter in the pro shop... was a bit chilly out there.

Are you still gaming the Blueprints?

Bladed and hacked my way to a whopping 50 on a soggy and chilly day. The positives..Dinked around a concrete pond and pulled out some practice balls, and i played #18 to a perfect par 5 with a hit fairway and a GIR.  Wouldve hit the bar after for celebration if Oregon was locked down.

Our course is closed tomorrow until 9am.  Shotgun start at 10am for Thanksgiving.  42º partly cloudy with a light breeze.  I think the cover is going on the cart tomorrow; it will be a sloooow day.

Played 9 holes with my Monday walking buddies.  Started par, birdie, bogey, double.  Is that "hitting for the cycle" in golf?? 
Ended up +3 for a 40 on a nice fall day.  Mounds very typical on my course make for interesting lies.

I played 9 holes on the Old Course at St Andrews this evening....on a new simulator at a local course. 

It was a Trackman setup, very nice hitting area and the software and sensors worked flawlessly.  The putting was generously set at 6 foot gimmee's.  I think they are trying to get people to love it and join the indoor league they are setting up.

I had 3 birdies, 2 bogeys and 4 pars for a -1 total.

Since it was another nice golf day, I decided to hit the links this morning. I decided that I wouldn't keep score today. I wanted to work on a few things. I played well probably in the lower seventys. But it wasnt about how I played it was about how a young member of our club just played yesterday.  About a week ago he was trying to break the clubs low score record. He tied it with a 62. Yesterday he broke the record with a 61 from the blue tees with club witnesses. So here's a 16 year old breaking the club record, and when im playing my best from the white tees he beats me by 10 strokes playing from the blues. I would venture to say i'll see him on TV in the future. He was out there again playing this morning.

Theres a local kid in my zip code doing things like that too... Must be something in the water...?

Anyways, Ive been having a few rounds like yours lately, while working on my swing. Still trying to get my backswing higher, and trying to get the wrists to let the club get to level on the backswing. what I'm doing is taking a few practice swings with the John Daly backswing, where I actually can see the club drop down to the left of me. But when I actually swing to hit the ball it doesn't go that far back, but, I am getting it farther back. Am also making some really good ball contact with a much higher flight too. On the hits where it all works, I'm also getting some really good distance.

Some might wonder why I would be working on a major swing change, and I wonder too. But, the driver swing, and even the irons never seems like its all that it can be. So I cannot help myself with the swing tinkering. My one bud that made the suggestion last year that I had an awfully flat swing started it all, and I have to admit as I keep working on it, Im getting better hits overall. And with the latest change, as its still in its infancy stages, is really phenomenal when I get the whole act together. So now its just the determination factor to stick with it, and to let myself accept the change. Thats the hardest part, to make your brain believe its to right move.

I'm working on driver distance currently.  I was at a topgolf with customers and one of them is a really good golfer. ( At another level ) I watched him put 10 shots in a row within the three inner circles at the far target with a 7 iron. I studied his impact position, weight shift and timing. I am trying to incorporate those positions and timing. So far its working well. I've probably gained another 15 yards.  I think I was doing everything well before but I think I was decelerating coming into impact.

Played a very foggy nine today. Would have been better than bogey golf if I didn’t have a tiger blowup on the last hole. Still managed a 47.

Stowe Acres South.

Nearly *impossible* to find a tee time anywhere. We teed off at 8 and when we left the house it was close to 50 but about 30 minutes North and we started with frost on our irons. Never did warm up much.

We lucked out found some down in the cape. Was looking like we wouldn’t get anything but lucked out. Never dropped below 50

I think I’ve played there once I recognize the barn

To say I stunk it up would be doing a disservice to those who stink it up. I journeyed down to the home course of a couple of mates that I play with regularly.  To say the conditions were less than ideal would be understating things, but I had fun regardless of my awful golf and the conditions. The greens were virtually unplayable and I was tempted to call  NASA to get the Mars Rover to find my tee shots as I couldn’t hit the planet.

Despite  my worst Stableford score ever, I came away with a new hat and a bottle of Shiraz for the best “bright colours “ outfit, which was nothing different to my normal ensembles. 
 

I may have had a few drinks on the way around, including a few that @kardboard.kidmight have liked

Cold, foggy day and a 78.  Frost delay until 10 am and then a shot gun start.  Never warmed up during the round, in fact it likely got even colder as the day progressed.   My partner had a terrible day and we ended up losing our match soundly.

Spectacular late afternoon/evening in Florida yesterday.  Played reasonably well for someone who hasn't been playing or practicing much (only my third November round and I've not been on the range except to warm up for two of them.)  Shot 78 at my club which is an extremely difficult course.  A double on 9 really hurt - double hit out of a trap.   I was one over on the back and really played quite well after 10 - making bogey from a brutal fairway trap probably saved my round but it was a tough bogey still - normally on a par 5 you can recover from an out of position drive that doesn't cause a penalty.  I hit 3 consecutive good shots and couldn't make the putt for par - the one out of the trap was incredible - I was in a footprint and since we still don't have rakes that allowed me to place the ball - I hit a great shot over a high lip with 7 wood that took a crappy bounce onto a bank by a hazard - had to hit towards the green with the ball at waste height - didn't whiff - hit it just short of the green, perfect angle to the pin only to find that I was on the side downhill side of a grass bunker, really hit a great pitch from there up the ridge of the double tiered green and missed the 8 footer coming back.  After that it was pretty much fairways and greens on home with one bogey on a three putt and one birdie on a holed 15 footer.

 

I have some great pictures but they are on the phone and I currently don't have the mobile app uploaded.  I've buggered up my Apple ID (can't remember the stupid thing and for some reason the phone that it wants to send info to doesn't exist).  I have multiple emails so it's a matter of setting up a new account.  Perhaps tomorrow while trying to sit through the Giants.  

I get to practice those waist high shots from our rough quite a bit.  The worst ones are waist high, but on a downslope!!  

We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.”
