The course won.  I only know what my wife and I shot.  We all had some great shots, and we all had some real stinkers.

I feel like the course wins a lot

Tried to get 9 in, only made it to the third hole before this rolled in

80 40/40

1 birdie / 11 pars

8 GIRs / 9 FIRs

33 putts (only 1 3 putt this time)

I got to play Craft Farms Cotton Creek golf course down in Gulf Shores, AL while on vacation here at the beach. I played from the tips (7127 yards) and very happy with the results. I usually play around 6500-6600 yards. Hot and humid today, had a tough time gripping the club at some points. I still missed 3-4 putts around 6-8 feet.
 

Shot of the day for me was an 8 iron from 160 that landed and stuck right next to the hole (a inch or two from sinking it). unfortunately a yanked a drive into the woods and had to pitch out. Saved a par at least.

5 over 76, including a triple bogey. Ball striking was good again, 10/14 fairways, and the misses were small and didn't hurt me. Irons were solid. Chipped the ball well, had a few tap in pars. Putted ok, using a putter that was my daughter's as mine is in getting the shaft reseated. The triple came after a run of 1 under through 11 holes. 10 consecutive pars might be a record for me. 

5th round in 15 days is helping my game, unfortunately not playing next weekend.

Well, our first round of golf for the 2020 MGS PNW outing at Circling Raven GC south of Lake Coeur d'Alene in Idaho didn't go as well as I had hoped.  Beautiful day on Friday, temp in mid-80's with a breeze.  My wife and I with @Thin2win and @fixyurdivot were delayed off the tee by nearly 1/2 hour.  Resort golf, I guess.

I'm on the 1st tee showing Chris and Bill how to hit the fairway after they didn't.  Unfortunately, I wouldn't hit another one until #8.  LOL.

I scrambled around the front nine shooting 42 that included a triple on #4; not a hard hole, but I made it hard by a bad tee shot.  Missed the native area, but not by much!!

The back nine started great with a par on #10, but that was the only par; had 6 bogeys and 2 doubles for a whopping 46.  So, a round of 88.  I was better putting; 30 putts with no 3-putts.  I got a lot of bunker practice in;  I was in 6 greenside bunkers, but I was able to get a couple of them up and down with tap-in pars.  

We are playing here again on Saturday.  Supposed to be 10º cooler and winds stronger; hope I can hit better drives.

So the wife and kids were out of the house. Perfect time to go play yesterday and try out my fathers day gift ( a golf gps watch )  I get to the course and get to the first tee and realize I left the watch charging at home. So I'm off to an annoyed with myself start. Still managed to play ok. Shot 38 on the front nine and called it a day. I'll play 18 tomorrow and remember to bring the gps watch.

Had an interesting round this morning in the Saharan dust, with 3 doubles and a hot streak in the middle (double, birdie, birdie, eagle, birdie, double, birdie) Shot 74, but made a lot more money in wolf this way than having 16 pars. 

[juspoole]

Wife gave me the ok for practice, but I took that opportunity to go and walk 9 holes at 7:45 last night.  However, I left so fast I forgot that I had been putting in the basement so I played without a putter.  Ended up with a 38 on a par 36 and had some nice shots overall.  Nothing amazing, but just feeling good about my game and confident over the ball at the moment.  Also tried out the Bridgestone Tour B XS ball and really enjoyed the feel and ball flight.

2 FIR

6 GIR

16 Putts

For the most part, better ball striking today, but was 5 over on the par 5s today to shoot a 42/40 for the day.  Pleased with improved ball striking, but it's still a work in progress.  Driver was not my best friend today.   Since Covid 19, my index has gone from 7.6 to 9.6 and no signs of turning in back around, yet.

I got to play Kiva Dunes Golf Course in Gulf Shores, AL down here at the beach. Beautiful course sitting between the ocean and the bay...

The fairways are tight with little wiggle room in the rough. Greens are fast with many ridges and false fronts. Challenging yet fun. With how humid it was, I started to loose my grip on the back 9 with the driver and was just happy to keep it in or close to the fairway. As for my 4 putt, thought the wind was in my face on a 156 par 3, so I hit a full 8. Unfortunately, I hit it too good and it went on the back part of the green. 60 ft putt with a ridge in the middle that made it impossible to stop it by the flag once up and over. Hit a bad second putt back up the hill and the rest is history.

Second consecutive round in the 70s..(one more is call a winning streak.)

Had 4 lip outs and some closed putts. Which I take every day. Since they where consistent putts. 

Driver was decent, wind could have affect some shots. But I didn't spray the ball. 

Irons continue to be sharp. Need to bottle that feeling. 

Eagle on #7 was pure 6 iron fromm 192yds into the back portion of green, then made a 12 footer down hill. 

Looking forward to next week.

Really struggled off the tee again today. Was able to rid myself of the 3 putts but missed some close ones and buzzed 4 edges on longer ones. Shot an 86 on a course I had never played under some pretty brutal wind conditions. Felt like every hole was into the wind haha.

Struck the ball very well today, shooting 39/42:81.  I had two birdies and three birdie lip outs.  I had replaced the Tour Edge with my Cobra F8 last week then switched it back, changing the rear weight from 14 gr to 11 gr.  Although not long, they were straight.  I gamed my TA Impact #3 putter last week, then went back to my Bellum Winmore blade putter....finished the day with only 25 putts!  The big downer was both my birdies were cut and the money stopped at +5.....I was +4!

There were some 4 putts.

I have that same book .. and it's hilarious!!

Weeeelllllllll, played the the bluffs today. If you've never heard of it, it's in Louisiana and the layout is unlike any other in the region. Very hilly, Arnold Palmer designed course.

Once again chipping and putting are saving the game. Driving and long irons are killing me right now. Overall a great day with friends. One of those days you dont keep score, just take in the comradery. Which is what is great about golf.

Any momentum after shooting 75 is out the window, lol. I wish I had something external to blame. I mean, it was pretty hot. Yeah, let's go with that!

Yeah it was very Windy today.. It was challenged not trying to over swing into the wind 

[edingc]

- 38/40 = 78 (+6)
- 6/15 FIR
- 10/18 GIR (1 birdie)
- 33 Putts (1 3-putt, 13 2-putts, 4 1-putts)

Another good round for me this morning. Had legitimate birdie opportunities on several holes but could only convert on No. 1. Really awful three-putt after being hole-high and 15 feet away on the par-3 sixth hole. I was a little amped up after the good tee shot and gave it too much gas.

Driver continues to let me down. Lost the ball right into the trees on No. 3 and got lucky with two really nice punch outs that let me two-putt par. Had to punch out under a pine tree on No. 14 and saved par. Went left but hole high on No. 15, but hit a poor chip across the green and saved par. On No. 17 lost the ball right onto No. 18 fairway again and took bogey. Still lots to work on.

Pulled my 8-iron approach from just off the fairway on No. 18 but had a good look at a chip-and-down. Left my chip about six feet short and my first putt didn't even come close. Settled for bogey and my second 78 in the past week. No complaints!
