I was too bundled up to get a good idea of how the irons were.  But the few chances I did get a good chance to hit them from semi dry conditions they felt fantastic and held the line very well. 

New irons?

Best part was playing around the sprinkler system on 8.  We hit our drives, waited for the sprinkler to pass, then rushed up and hit our approaches and darted away before we got wet.  Fun mini game!

I’ve played that game a few times.  It’s more of a challenge when the sprinklers come on unexpectedly.

39/46 for an 85 yesterday. Round was a bit of a mixed bag. I only hit 6 fairways and 6 GIR with 34 putts. Not sure if that says more about the state of my game for the positives or things that need to be cleaned up. Pleased with my scoring but not pleased with the mistakes I’m making off the tee and with my irons. Really hard time making quality iron shots and on the back 9 lately I’ve lost my driver frequently. Gonna need to take a step back and re evaluate as these are typically my strong points

Had a sprinkler pop up one time with my 3 wheel push cart over it, OOPS, Big Oops😱.

96 with no birdies 3 pars and ton of other stuff that’s just no bueno. I only hit 3 greens and those resulted in the only pars today that kept me halfway sane.

it wasn’t the course it was 100% me. I struggled right out of the gate and couldn’t shake the funk. I had a few decent tee shots that put me in good shape and I proceeded to shank my wedges in (about 40-60 yards on 3 of them) which have been an absolute strength for me this year..

Putting continued its brutal performance from yesterday blowing everything inside 5’ by.

This was my game in a nutshell today 🤦‍♂️ I would love to hear folks interpretation on what happened here lol

Don’t worry folks. Mark is just mad that I beat him today…. Errrr I mean the course beat me up a little less than him.

It looks like you had a good time with great company on a beautiful course. Man, some of the courses I see some of the members here make mine look like a goat track. 

Don't worry about that hole, we all have them. Looks like a tight fairway and a bladed wedge might have caused some havoc. You're just getting the bad mojo out and I see some better rounds in your future.

...I thought it might be a good distance for my new 9W; for a front pin I hit the ball to the back of the green some 35 yards too long.  Grabbed the head cover... it was my 3W!!!

I've gotten into the habit of double-checking the number on the club when I pull it out of the bag .. especially wedges.

Picked that up from watching the US Open when it was at Merion .. and when good ole Phil Mickelson was still a fan fav and going for his first US Open win .. and was coming up to #18 on Sunday afternoon either tied for the lead or with a one shot lead .. had like 60ish yards to the pin .. .. flew the green, lost the lead .. .. and later said he pulled the wrong wedge..!!

Used to happen to me all the time at my old course... a 9 hole exec that was an old goat field.  The pro had a lease on the property and the city wanted him to use city water for irrigation... expensive!!  The property had a shallow well that would irrigate all of it, but he couldn't water for very long before the water table dropped too low; so he couldn't water the course all night long.  He had to water during the day too.  When it's 50º in the spring and the sprinkler pops up when you were teeing off, it's not much fun; but when it was 100º+, it actually felt good.

We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.”

I learned the hard way too.  Nothing like hitting that short green with a ... 6?  Damn.

Yep I watched it safe inside with the A/C blasting after a wedge testing and adjustment session yesterday. I was just about puzzled as he was in like WTF? Came upon the conclusion is that if one of the Best in the world can have a brain fart then anyone can.

We had a Tragedy here yesterday on the Grand Strand. A gator killed a man. There are not real details yet.

It happened over at Myrtle Beach Golf and Yacht club which has neither golf (anymore) or Yachts in fact one would do good getting a Jon boat in those waters. The course there Heron Point has been closed close to 10 years now. There are a lot of small houses and older condos there so a lot of full time residents. I know back when the course was open there were a lot of gators there I can only imagine now with the course closed and things grown up higher than my head.

Like they said no real details have been released yet but they did confirm the gator killed the man and they got the gator and destroyed him. DNR and the County Police are evidently still investigating. So my fellow coastal and Florida folks be aware that Gators can and will kill

That’s not a way to go.  It drives me crazy in “Bird Season” that the visitors look for gators and then feed them😱

Owen and I were joined by our buddy Paul and our supervisor Chris yesterday at River Heights for a charity scramble to support Golf Fore Kids, which helps provide opportunities for area kids who might not be able to otherwise participate.  Where we work only one of the three of us would be allowed the day off, but when I framed it as a volunteer day to supervisor Chris and invited him to be our fourth, he was happy to approve, LOL.

Owen and I played reasonably well, but the better story was Paul and Chris.  Paul has been working through some swing changes with Owen and they're starting to come along.  When he hits it well the ball absolutely takes off, but he doesn't trust his alignment yet so his good shots go right.  But the process is encouraging and you can see it in his eyes.  He's the one that really helped us along when we started last year so to see him coming back is outstanding.

Now Chris, he never golfed much and hadn't picked up a club in three years; he was there mostly for the beer.  Fella had a beer a hole and looked none the worse for wear!  We took a couple of his shots including an absolutely beautiful chip from under a tree that stopped about a foot from the hole.

We had a blast!  We shot 68, second highest score.  Winning team posted 46.  Chris won some Sub70 swag and Paul won a foursome to a course in Aurora that none of us had ever played before so we're excited for that.

Never before have I shot par or better in my 40+ years of golf.  May never do it again... but this was a day I will never forget.

I had just finished a coaching session with my club pro (we have been working weekly for the past 10 weeks or so), and walked out to the course to play 18... I left my card on his desk after the round with a note of appreciation for helping me achieve something I never thought possible. 

Just catching up on this thread / post -- a big CONGRATS!! on that very spectacular golfing achievement!! 🥳🎉👏

And leaving that record scorecard was a very gentlemanly gesture, and I am sure very well appreciated by the pro! 👍
