Knew I should have fielded bets! Sometimes luck overtakes skill still a good round, solid GIR!

I had forgotten you specifically called out a sub-80 round. Glad I could make that happen!

I'm finally starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel! It's probably been close to a year since my game started taking a nosedive, but today showed the most promise yet that I might finally be making a return to form.

Played bright and early this morning as a single and carried my bag. I was paired with another single who was in a cart. The starter called us to the 1st tee early and then had the next group go off right after us for some reason which meant I immediately felt rushed. Found the fairway with my drive though, but had tree trouble. I intended just to play a low pitch with my 9 iron, but opened it up through impact and shot it up into the tree. I never saw where it went and spent maybe 30 seconds looking before dropping a fresh ball down with the group behind already waiting in the fairway. 🙄 Opened up again and missed right, hurried up for a chip and a few putts to finish the opening hole +3 (I wound up finding my original ball in a better lie than where I dropped so I chose not penalize myself under the circumstances). From there I'd play the rest of the front at -1 (two birdies, five pars, one bogey)!!!

Unfortunately, the stellar play wouldn't hold up on the back 9 and I basically wrote it off. My playing partner wasn't much help with pace or any help at all when it came to finding wayward drives. Wound up claiming 2-3 lost balls that disappeared into the rough. Those balls probably could've been found, but it never seemed to occur to the guy that we both might have a better time if he took 2 seconds to help identify my ball while he was 100 yards ahead of me... Perhaps, it's just my fault for not asking him to help, but the only time we were ever in close proximity was on the green (if he waited for me). I told the guy at the first tee not to let me hold him up since I was walking. Let's just say it was all quite awkward.

Now that I'm starting to see some progress in my game, I'll be returning to my "home" course where I never walk and would have to deal with such an issue. I've just been trying to save $ because nothing's worse than paying ~$60/round and feeling terrible about the experience every time you finish.

EDIT: In regards to pace, I should add that the round was not exactly slow. We had a foursome (maybe a fivesome, couldn't quite tell) in front of us and still made the full loop in 3 hours and the nines were evenly split @ 1:30/1:31.

Played at Plantation Palms today as we were rained out on Tuesday…I pulled my 3W, changed my 20* 6W to 18* 5W and dropped a 7W into the bag.  I got it as a mystery club from Patriot Golf.  That said, I choked down on it and striped it on the 162 yd Par 3 #7 hole today, then from a foot off the green, drained my ER2 putter some 15 yds away!  So my numbers today were 42/48:90. Really had trouble on back nine with 5 doubles…..Ugh!

Patriot 3w!  Had a guy play with our group a while ago and he had 3 Patriot woods and he was killin them 👍

Just an absolute gorgeous day in New England.

Didn't play as well as I would have liked but CT National is a true hidden gem. The conditions are as good (or better) than some private courses in the area and only 49 on a very walkable track. 

Paired up with another single who shot 74 from the tips. 🤯

Played there once several years ago!  Such a nice track. I need to get back there. Get those tuneup rounds in before NH!

79 (36/43). Barely held-on for the back nine. Sheesh. 
Found a dozen Snell MTB and put them in my bag today. Wow. I LOVE these!!! I know they don’t make the MTB anymore, but I gotta figure out which ones took its place. Great golf ball!!!!

They were just rebranded the MTB Black. Similar to standard Prov1 and TP5

Gracias. I looked at the Black and they’re 7% softer than MTB…. I wonder if that makes a difference off the driver.

Played in a 4BBB, a rare morning round as we struggled to get on the timesheet in the afternoon. Course was playing very long off the back marks and lots of recent rain. 
 

My round was very much a better ball round, equal parts good and bad. Started with a birdie for the second round in a row. Drove the ball well but struggled with 40-60 yard pitches. Leaked a series of soft bogeys through the middle of the round.
Played the last 5 in 1 under, with a couple of putts just missing. Hitting greens in regulation certainly makes scoring a lot easier.

Adjustments to my setup and posture are still a work in progress but seem to be getting there

I had a good round today by my standards, 90 (45/45), which is a net -7.

42% FIR 22% GIR and 30 putts. Had a couple of awful holes tho with 2 trebles and one where I hit 3 off the tee, the first 2 both going in the water 😕

It’s getting better though and I’m hoping to improve some more now I’ve started playing regularly

I haven't played since last Sunday; I have been working on the PlaneMate protocols.  Today my wife was playing with the Ladies group.  I didn't have a tee time, but the ladies only had two groups and I was able to join them.  It is getting hot during the day, but at 7:30am, it was pleasant so I walked the front nine; rode in a cart the back nine since it was in the mid-90's when we finished.  When I was on the 1st tee, I was waiting for the clubhouse to announce over the loudspeaker... "Will the gentleman on the Ladies tee please move back to the Men's tee."  😂  (I was actually standing there while my wife teed off, and Yes, my drive was past the Red tees!!!)

Started OK at +1 through the first 4 holes, but strung bogeys together on 5, 6, 7, and 8... so a +5 score 42.  I started the back nine with another bogey, but parred 11 and 12.  Then I strung 3 birdies in a row on 13, 14, and 15.  Sadly, I limped in with bogeys on 17 and 18... so an Even par 35 back nine.  A decent round of 77 and no blowup holes.

 

👍
