How'd you play?

[PMookie 11,748]

Miserable 9 Big Boy this morning. I live 3 miles from course and I had 1” rain overnight, received 3”+ same storm. CPO and actually course should have been closed. We all played like garbage including a 6 hcp who was riding with me.
On top of that humuggity 90% and heat index 100’+.
Hope this weather pattern breaks soon.

We had that index yesterday. I teed off at 9AM, and was soaked-through my shirt and shorts by the 9th. I had to buy a shirt in the pro-shop just to get home without dripping.

Played Moore Golf and Athletic Club today - I'm not a member but as a perspective one they let you play once. I played the tips (6758) in 105* heat but had the course basically to myself. It's a good course with a couple par 3's of 230+, a drivable par 4, good bunker ing, some good risk/reward holes and good greens. Played really well except for a silly bogey on 18 from the middle of the fairway from 147 yards... And I had just made a great par save on 17. Besides that I played really well and for the most part controlled my golf ball and met some great guys.

Only played 9, the back was being aerated.

-1, 35 from the tips. Was -3 through 7 before a double on #8. Dangit!

- 42 (+6) 

- 4/9 FIR  

- 2/9 GIR (0 birdies)

- 16 Putts (7 2-putts, 2 1-putts) 

- 1:05 Round Time

I'm convinced that you never actually hit good shots in golf, just that your bad shots miss by less!

Driver was OK today, not laser accurate or long, but didn't really hurt me much either. Putting was great. Very little stress, most of my second putts were tap-ins. Irons were awful. Didn't hit a single good shot with an iron all round. Kind of carried over into my short game where I left too much work for my putter on several chips.

It all balances out. According to GAME Golf my driver and putter had a better than five handicap day. Just need to get the irons back on track.

Playing in a work scramble tomorrow. Unfortunately my home course has outings both Saturday and Sunday so not 100 percent sure next time I'll be out on the course in a non-scramble fashion.

Hot streak continues with a solid 73 today. No birds, just 2 bogies. Narrowly missed 3-4 birdyputts.

scoring low seems to be connedpcted to new driver move, which is basically just a one piece takeaway... games a lot easier with shorter clubs coming into the green...

I hadn't touched a club in 3 weeks due to vacation and moving our daughter to her apartment. Expectations were low going into league tonight. I wasn't sharp at all, which isn't terribly surprising. Nothing too terrible, but nothing really good either. Ended up +9 with 16 putts. I had 2 3-putts tonight. Ugh, I hate three putts.

Truer words have never been spoken than “golf is a game of misses.”

[CarlH 4,542]

Arrrghhh!  Another decent round ruined be 4 bad hole.  3 of the 4 bad holes were set up from a really poor drive from the tee box (yes, still fighting that over the top move that's been my recent issue).  Anyway....4 double bogeys and shoot an 83.  I hereby dub myself the king of doubles.

[Rickp 20,515]

Another 2” rain last night but tried 9 this morning anyway. CPO again. This is getting very old.
Didn’t play that bad, irons were very good (did I mention I love the Mizzie’s!). When courses are this messy really can’t keep score but around 42-43. No roll at all and had to move ball due to “casual ponds” in some areas.
Almost forgot the ridiculous high dew point and 95% humidity.
Still better than staying home.

Took first place in our work department scramble. (Four teams, wasn't much of a real competition but I'll take it, nonetheless.)

- 34/34 = 68 (-4) 

- 7/14 FIR  

- 14/18 GIR (5 birdies)

- 29 Putts (Including one three-putt, sadly...) 

- 3:30 Round Time

I had a terrible warm up on the range. All sorts of weird swing stuff going on that I haven't dealt with in a long time. Specifically today I was flipping a lot at impact because I was very steep into the ball. Couldn't figure it out and it really messed my mindset up for the round.

Altogether I ended up gutting out a pretty OK performance. We used my drive/tee shot on something like 12 of the 18 holes, and had I been playing by myself I would have been happy with almost every hole. Had a few good approaches, a good chip or two and several good putts. I'm not going to beat myself up about this in any way. I had a lot of fun, and lost only a single ball (unfortunately on my final non-putt of the day) on a course that usually plays very, very hard, especially when it is windy like today.

Played in a scramble today with a couple of my customers and all proceeds went to the Folds of Honor that benefits fallen and disabled veterans spouses and children.  In terms of the golf, I played really well and had one of my best driving days that I've had in a long time.  My team made  alot of good putts, but I was able to sink a couple when it counted which was great.  

We ended up with a 58 for -14 and won the scramble by two shots.  I also won a close to pin and long drive, but donated the winnings back to the cause.  Really fun day and a lot of money contributed to a wonderful organization and cause.

Got out and shot 43 from the tips!

Not really sure I have a ton of business playing from the tips in general, but my driver was on today so there was a solid amount of driver to 9i/wedge approaches.

My putting has been spot on, and my oh my does that really help the score! Had 15 putts today, probably 2-3 from 10ft+ that dropped.

Approach game was a little spotty, my irons have been chunky lately. But all in all great round for me, gotta love days like today!

Played today at Lincoln Park West - it was sweltering and SLOW. That said, I was paired up with a couple of really great young men - both started their Senior Year of High School today and are members of the golf team. Courteous and well-spoken and good players - one of them made birdie on 18 to shoot under par. For me it was the story of two nines. I opened with a bogey on the par 5 1st and ended on a bogey with one birdie in between (37). The back nine I started to play much better with a crazy card: 5 birdies and 2 bogeys (32). I can't remember the last round where I had 4 bogeys - good grief.

37/36 = 73 from the tips.

Finally, the irons swing is returning! Been a struggle all season but only with irons. Over the past 2.5 rounds I've gone +3, -1 (for 9), +1.

Season low was previously +2, accomplished a few times but every one of them was scramble-city. Today was nice, fairways and greens.

I'd been hitting off the toe all year when I recently realized that my back foot was pretty square at set-up. I theorized that not only was my turn compromised but this set up encouraged me to take the club back slightly outside the target line.

All I did was flare the back foot open maybe 15° more. Although I didn't change my heel's placement, this offered the sensation that my foot had dropped an inch or so back. My takeaway felt much more natural, like seasons past, and my downswing more powerful and coming from the inside.

Strong draws all day long, just like yesteryear. Rather than hope for the best as I had been, now I wanna go on the attack.

Decent night in men's league last night, 46 that was marred by triple and double both from really horrible lies and bad decisions with the wedge shot attempted on each. 

Driver short as usual but on point, 5/7 fairways. 

Hit the new 919's very well. I was 3/4 with them when shooting at a GIR.  The 4th one came up maybe 10 yards short and I was probably feeling a bit cocky ejbt them and went I club less than I should have...ha 

Putting returned to a very confident stroke.  Several putts from the 15 to 30 feet range that litteraly were tap ins.  

Will tee it up again this morning in the Sr. League and be playing golds. So the irons should see even more action.

Played with the assistant super last night after work.  We played the forward tees for a change of pace. 5209 64.8/110  I had 1 really bad double when I made a terrible swing with a wedge and buried it under a lip of a bunker, but other than that, things went pretty smoothly.  5 Birdies and an Eagle for 67. I missed 5 putts inside of 10 feet, so that could have been something special....

 

Oh well.. There is always today....

Good job!!

Just remember... triple double in golf = bad; triple double in basketball = good.

won my quarter final club singles matchplay today by 6&5, sounds good but you know that game where you play badly but your opponent plays worse? and we're both single figs.

Nice to win but I'd rather win by playing well as opposed to my opponent 'falling on his sword'............but I suppose I've also been there many times.

How can I simply forget how to swing a golf club in less than 12 hours.   Followed up last nights decent league 9 hole round, with a very disappointing 94 today, from tees that were roughly 300 yards closer.  Two of my strengths this year, driver accuracy and wedge play seemed to take the day off after working the night shift last night.   After a par/bogey start I went Double from 115 yards out, then Triple from 105 yards out.   it was mostly up and down from there.  

We did putt on freshly aerated greens--Tuesday--for the front nine, so that didn't help much, but it certainly isn't to be blamed for the poor wedge play. 

One silver lining I guess I can take away, is that as my handicap is dropping is that I now consider 94  a "disappointing" round for me. where as at the beginning of he year, I was happy with a 94.
