Jmikecpa Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Got out and played golf at the Jersey shore for the first time in about 5 years played Cape May National for the first time and a nice layout. Started with two opening bogies and then righted the ship to shoot one over threat of the way. Had a few nice birdie looks that didn’t drop but overall a nice day out.

Popular Post chisag Posted June 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2020 ... Like the middle linebacker on my high school football team wrote in my Yearbook "It have been fun. But fun have to come to a end. I had a great time knocking you down". After 5 rounds in a row under par, yesterday came crashing down around me and the Golf Gods must have been napping, then woke up to my lower index and were not pleased. ... 4 birdies including one very lucky chip in out of deep rough that I played like a bunker shot and 5 bogies, so not very sharp at all. Gusty winds to 30 mph had me guessing too much and 93* made a 5+ hr round a long day in the heat. Played behind a slow outing and paired with a Dad with his 2 teenage sons and on the first tee he says "Probably been 20 years since I played and it is Justin's first time on a golf course." Justin proceeded to miss the ball on the tee with 3 swings. Took a little over 20 minutes to play the first hole but there was a slow 3some in front of us so nowhere to go. After a rough start to the 2nd hole the Dad says why don't you just go ahead. "Are you sure?" I asked as I almost sprinted forward. Caught up to the slow 3some on the next hole and a 90 something guy that walked in shuffles and literally s-l-o-w motion was the culprit. I am gonna be that age one day but I hope to play late in the day and not middle of the afternoon. Took another 20+ minutes to play one par 3 and the guy that had joined them suggested the 2 of us go ahead and let the older gentleman play with bis daughter as they were in a cart and we were walking. ... Wearing jeans and a black shirt with bright sunshine and no cloud cover, I don't know what he was thinking. We went ahead for 2 holes then we caught the outing. Nice kid in his 20's but a poor golfer that probably lost 10 balls but pleasant company and of all the problems he had, I chose to help him with his chipping and to his credit, he made changes and some progress. Front took just over 3 hours (sigh) and I had no rhythm, hot as hell and gusty winds that came and went quickly making picking a club and then hitting a shot that could start with 30 mph winds gusting sideways and when the ball was in the air it could just stop completely. Slow play an d gusty winds with the heat... yea... that is my excuse LOL. ... For those interested I played my P760's for my 73 so the under par streak with the T100-S is still intact. Maybe it was a sign I should keep them in my bag. Gonna be crazy windy and rainy the next 2 days so I get a forced rest. Hopefully back in a groove Thursday, with winds still predicted to be around 17+ mph at least it will be in the 80's. 10 bogies in 5 rounds and then 5 bogies yesterday. Golf is a fickle mistress. 11 1 Quote Driver: SIM2 Max 10.5* ... AD-IZ 6SR Fairway: SIM2 Max 15/18* ... Tensei Raw Blue 65R Hybrids: RBZ Tour Hybrid 21.5* ... Diamana Ltd 65R Utility: UDi 18* ...

Popular Post HeathS16 Posted June 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2020 Broke 80 for the second time in a week, so that’s awesome. But I can’t get out of my own way with the driver in hand, like going from smacking one 280 to barely hitting the face...very annoying. Saved myself by playing lights out with the irons and wedges. I hit every green on par 3s this morning! Just 1 birdie but I missed at least 4 birdie putts by a combined foot as two lipped out. If I could just tame the big dog I feel as though I would be flirting with even par.

Popular Post bens197 Posted June 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2020 Today was a farewell of sorts. I played with my retired Captain who is leaving for Florida at the end of the month and another friend on our crew. The three of us worked together out of HQ for the past 3 years. The company made the swings feel that much better. The funny thing is, I had an approach to every single green and could not, for the life of me hit a flush iron today. I got away with a LOT of bad swings. 42/38 with no birdies, 6 bogeys and one double. 33 putts, 9 greens and 4/14 fairways however 9/14 were first cut. Not a bad driving day by any measure. 13 Quote Titleist TSI3 LAGolf DJ 65 5 TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Fujilkura Ventus Blue 7-X Mizuno HMB MP20 3i Nippon Modus 3 120S Mizuno Pro 223 4-P Nippon Modus 3 115X Vokey SM8 50, SM9 54 & 60 Nippon Modus 3 120s L.A.B.

Popular Post MaxEntropy Posted June 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2020 I had a pretty good night in league. Driver and irons were very good for me (don't ask about putting). My swing felt very relaxed, yet distances were good. I blame SuperSpeed I had two more drives that were in the 260's, so I was definitely hitting closer to the center of the face today. Ironically, my opponent made a comment after an awkward swing on the second tee. I intentionally felt like I was adding a Hideki pause at the top and started ripping the ball. I ended up crushing him, so thanks for the tip! In reality, I scored decently, but I've never seen him play so bad. He's a 3 for 9 holes and shot a 45. 11 Quote Driver: Epic Speed 9* (set -1) MMT 70X 3W: RAZR Fit TourAD something or other 3H, 4H: Tour B JGR 19*, 23* Recoil 780ES 4-AW: Tour B JGR HF2 Modus3 Tour 105 SW: Zipcore Black Satin 54* LW: Zipcore Black Satin 58* Putter: Stroke Lab Marxman Bag: BigMax Dri Active Lite Ball: TP5x Pix Pushcart: BigMax iQ+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jddaigneault Posted June 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2020 Finally got out on the course for the first time in over a month. What a gorgeous day! High 80’s, light breeze, perfect conditions. For the amount of rust I had to knock off, I’d say I played pretty well. I ended up 16 over with an 88 (47/41) but took ten penalty strokes. Once I get things cleaned up I’ll be in the 70’s in no time! Not bad for having a 6mm disc protrusion at L5/S1! Hopefully back out there soon! 15 1 Quote Taylormade M5 Driver Cobra F9 3 Wood Srixon ZX5 4-6 Iron Srixon ZX7 7-PW Taylormade MG2 Wedges 50/55/60 Taylormade Spider X Putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially now that they fixed the old 5th hole. Dumbest par 5 ever.For everyone else, reading this: You teed off with a 8 or 9 iron to a corner, then a fairway wood up a hill, then another 9i or wedge into the green. You could try to cut around the corner if you hit a hybrid perfect, but otherwise you were hitting 3.Take Dead Aim 4 Quote Take Dead Aim Driver: PXG 0211 10.5* Fairway: Titleist 917 F3 15* Hybrid: Adams Idea Pro Boxer Gold 18* Irons: Titleist 714CB 4-PW Wedges: Vokey SM5 & SM6 50/54/58 Putter: SeeMore X2 Costa del Mar Ball: Srixon Z-Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbonecrusher Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I was supposed to take the weekend off to spend time with my wife, but she said that I should play since this coming weekend is booked with helping a neighbor move (remind me to hide my truck in the future), and then traveling around SE Arizona since we are restricted to a 60 mile travel limit by the installation Commanding General. Glad I went out to play because it was a good scoring weekend, even with the wind. We had about 15-25mph winds on Saturday and Sunday. The winds didn't hit till the back 9 on Saturday since we teed off early, but Sunday was a noon tee time, so we played in the wind all day. Saturday was good as I had a little bet with a friend. I birdied #2, and he slam dunked a wedge on #5 for eagle. We both birdied #6, I birdied #7, he birdied #8, and I birdied #9. We both shot 32 (-4) and halved the bet. My buddy had a rough back 9 and shot 37. I kept it steady and birdied three more holes. This was the first bogey free round I have had all year, but it was awesome to birdie all four par5s then add a few others for a smooth 65 (-7). My blind draw partner loved it because he only helped on one hole, shot 77 and made a little money. Sunday was good as we played the other course in town and played their mixed tees. This really shortened the course but gave the shorter hitters a better scoring chance. Even though the course only plays 6200y from the mixed tees the wind made it play a lot longer on some holes. I continued to play well and birdied the first two holes (drove the fringe on #1, and hit a SW to 2 feet on #2). Ended up getting lucky on the #5, a par5, and dropped a bomb from about 60' away (I thought I hit the putt a bit too hard, but the wind slowed it down). Birdied the par 3 #8 and missed a 10 foot birdie putt on #9 for a 31 (-5). Then I started to suck on the back 9. The 10th green is small and tough with a false front on the front right. The flag was placed right at the transition to the false front. I was 18 feet for birdie, rolled the putt just across the right edge with enough speed to have the ball stop about 3 inches past the hole if it was on a flat green. The ball almost ran off the green and gave me a 10 footer back. Missed that bad boy. The green really sped up on the back due to drying out from the wind. Add to it being on the wrong side of the hole and you could not become aggressive on the putts. Finished with two more bogeys for a 70 (-2). Disappointing back 9, but the course is really a tale of two 9s. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a similar par5 here at a course I play. The tee shot requires a straight shot of about 200y that leave over 340y left or you can hit a high cut out to 270y and still have 270y left. Nothing quite like hitting a 3 iron or 5w off of a par5. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmikecpa Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Played AC Country Club today and what a fun and quirky old golf course. Haven’t played it in close to 10 years and forgot just how fun this place is. The round starts with the first tee on the far edge of the putting green. Great little par 70 layout with 6 par 3’s and a bunch of long par 4’s and par 5’s. Shot a decent 74 with some shots that I would like to have back but looking forward to playing it again next month.
