Popular Post cksurfdude Posted May 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hit the rebound side of my Yo-Yo golf game = one up/one down/one up/... Was out with my honey and I finished with my PB for 9 .. edit: at this course .. @ +4 (Par 35). But... note, tho, this is a short (just under 2500), easy (not even rated) 9-hole course. I just felt more relaxed today and the groups were well spread out; in fact, the group behind us was slow and we never really saw them. So it was nice and quiet and mellow and it was warm and sunny with a light breeze and just a *GREAT* day to be healthy and alive and out on the course! Tee shots still need work - especially on the two Par 3s I somehow managed to duff both (low-right) - but a few were solid and "out there". The bright spots were my approaches and wedges - got to use my divot tool a bunch of times today! Not sure whose PW was in my bag today but it was hot Even pulled off two high lobs with the 58 from about 37 yds out each time, and putting was good with 2 x 1-putts and no 3-putts. One bogey .. almost kinda funny .. approach was short and plugged waaay down under the front lip of the front bunker; took the 58 and jammed it down hard under the ball to pop it up and out .. which i did .. a little too well, maybe .. it went about 10 ft in the air STRAIGHT UP in fact I had to lean back as it came down literally 4 inches in front of me!!! Hey but at least it was out Made a nice up and down from there (yea!). Oh, PS: Played the MaxFli today and maybe that ball just suits my game? Had been playing Truvis and Srixon Q-Star.

Popular Post zrumble Posted May 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2020 First 18 hole round in months today, one 9 hole round previously, and I shot an 82 in a moderate breeze (15mph). Gave up most of my shots around the green, even though I was hitting chips and long putts solidly I was just not getting within about 5-6 feet enough. Usually right on line too, just too short. I did hit the best 5 wood of my life today. Tried to hit a draw around the corner on a long par 5 off the tee. Blocked it, and it ended up on the next fairway. Bit of frustration came out on my next swing with a 5 wood, hit a nice little draw 270 yards on the neck between the two green side bunkers. Got up and down for my only birdie. Go figure lol.

CarlH Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Greenskeeper Revenge 2 man scramble today. Pins were tricked up pretty good using various obstacles, mounds, slopes, and whatnot to make it tougher than tough. If that wasn't bad enough, both my partner and I played just poor golf. Rules required 7 drives from each player. I actually had to take a few less than optimum drives to get my 7 in. My partner is a 6 hdcp and I'm a 7 --- we shot an 80!!! That's poor playing no matter how you slice it (pun intended!)!!!!!!

butters Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Was not in a good mood when I saw the conditions of the greens when I arrived. Definitely were in my head the first few holes. Was just about ready to leave. A few beers later I calmed down a bit.

Popular Post mr.hicksta Posted May 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2020 Got in a much needed, daylight chasing round at Enagic Golf Club at Eastlake which turned out to be nice little round to prep for my round at Torrey Pines South tomorrow!!! 84 (40/44, 82 ESC) - 2 birdies, 8 pars, 5 bogeys, 2 doubles and 1 quintuple bogey FIR 6/14 (43%) - Aside from a couple holes, I was strong off the tee today and it felt great! GIR 5/18 (28%) - Irons and wedges were so so overall, but I made it work! 28 putts - 8 1 putts and ZERO 3 putts. The putt total probably should've been 2 or 3 less, but I missed a few short looks. All in all I couldn't be happier with my putting today! Absolutely fantastic out today!

Josh Ross Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Solid day on the course, but definitely could have been better. Shot 79. Highlight of the round was getting birdie on a hole that in over 100 rounds I had never birdied before. The par 5 10th at Whitepath Golf Course is only 531 yards but requires the most precise tee shot ever if you want to go more than 6 iron off the tee box. I took it safe with the 6 iron, it goes downhill to a pretty tight fairway but being down the mountain it goes a long way if you hit it in the short grass. I then hit a mammoth 3 wood and found myself with a short pitch shot to set up a 5 foot birdie putt that I drained. Happiest golf moment of my life, this hole has terrorized me for 16 years and I live 10 seconds from the tee box so it's always just laughing at me daily. I've shot under par on the back multiple times, birdied the hole before and after, but that hole is the Bermuda Triangle of golf. Today, I conquered it! It quickly became the second happiest golf moment of my life on the next hole, a par 3 that's almost 150 but plays 118 going down the mountain again. I hit one pin high, had almost 10 feet left for birdie. But my 6 year old nephew hit his driver inside of me and had a chance at his first birdie and par, but settled for a three putt bogey. Still such an awesome experience.

Popular Post Peaksy68 Posted May 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2020 First round back after courses were closed late March. Pretty scrappy, 11 over with a couple of 3 putts. Greens were a bit slow and I struggled a bit with reading the speed. Going in to a round with new wedges probably wasn't ideal, but practice opportunities weren't available so I decided to roll the dice. Highlights were a birdie on a hole I hadn't birdied yet this year, and a recovery from the knee deep jungle that I managed to get on the green. Weather was cool but sunny, and it was great to get back out there. sirchunksalot, THEZIPR23, Rickp and 10 others 13 Quote 849 Pro Evenflow Riptide 6.0 F8 3 & 5 Woods Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 TS2 7 Wood Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 MP18 MMC - Project X LZ 5.5 Zipcore Wedges 50,54,58 - Project X LZ 5.5 MLA Tour Mallet 33" Z Star Pioneer bag buggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlow206 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I got a round in. Overall, didn't play that great, but there were glimpses of hope. When I am not playing that well, I don't keep score, just focused on trying to hit good shots. Previously, my demon was off the tee. Started out the round with too many OB shots. My course is very narrow, so its easy to be OB off the tee. After settling down after the first few holes, my drives off the tee weren't super consistent, but stopped hitting so many OB shots, and had some glimpses of great drives. My current demon is fat short iron shots. I waste too many shots hitting the ball super fat on approach shots. A 100 yard approach shot should be the easiest shot for me, but then i find a way to hit it 20 yards with the biggest divot you have ever seen. cksurfdude, Kenny B, CarlH and 5 others 8 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 07/15/2022 Driver: Rogue St Max LS - Autoflex Fairway Woods: Rogue Max St 3HL and 7 Wood Irons: JPX 921 Hot Metal 5 to AW - Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff parallel tip Wedges: Glide 4.0 54 and 58 Putter: PLD Custom Kushin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncwoz Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Got to sneak in 18 after work yesterday down at Diamond Springs. It's a Devries design, and an awesome course. Tons of really interesting holes and elevation change. Turns out it's pretty tough too haha. 50/46: 96; 6/14 FIR, 5/18 GIR, 40!! putts. I had a few bad tee shots that didn't help me, but I think the putting is really what did me in. I didn't have a single 1 putt, and had some good chances. And somehow, to my surprise, I actually ended up shooting net par!
