How'd you play?

[Getoffmylawn 2,043]

I just played in a 2-man scramble that took 7 freaking hours.

Played okay; really hard to get into any kind of rhythm.  5 under, not sure if we’ll place, but first time playing a tournament at this course and based on that pace probably the last...

I didn't know that it was that slow in Nebraska.  Guess that's why I never stopped on my drives through.

7 hours is torture even for a Charity event.
Hope you win something decent.

2nd place, $100 pro shop gift card.  It’s something, but won’t do this one next year.

Takes some of the sting out but not quite enough.

Last round at Hilton Head was played at Old South, a Low Country course with plenty of forced carries over the marshlands. Shot 50/45:95, but the course was in terrific shape, well cared for and the staff were very friendly. Definitely a try again next year course.

Pretty damn well if I do say so. Something just clicked yesterday and I shot a 39/43 82. Hit some good shots and some crap ones but all in all it was a great day.

7 hours????? That's insane!!!!  I think I would have sent out a forward scout with a rifle to take out the slow players

Those are some long drives!!!!  Must be using illegal balls!

Almost got through a round without one.....sadly, doubled number 18.  Sheesh!   9 over with 41/40.  Greens are still difficult to putt post aeration and sanding a few days ago.

I'm not a drinker on the course, but at least at that pacing you might even be able to manage a beer per hole and still be able to stand up at the end.

Yesterday I found myself once again waiting to see if FedEx arrived with a nice box before my twilight tee time and once again they didn't (I knew they wouldn't but you gotta have hope). with 3 G.I.R.s in a row, but no putts dropped until a surprise birdie on 5 (a hole I don't think I ever birdied before). Focus started drifting a bit as the sun set, so a couple of duck hooks came out, but then I got a nice "skipping stones" visualization going and mashed a few good ones on my last holes before it was completely dark.

83 (+11, net -5), 35 putts, 6/14 FIR, 8/18 GIR

Ball striking was killer for me this round. Going through a little swing change to shorten my back swing a bit and a few little tweaks that are giving me waaay more consistent results. Missed 3 (or 4?) birdie putts within 10 feet, which I can usually convert those. I've also been deploying a nice little stinger that I've been loving and keeping me out of trouble. 

Gotta love a beautiful Michigan fall day of golf!

Nice!  Always great when a swing change pays dividends. We're now getting strong hints that fall is in full swing.  Chance of snow tonight/early am... not unexpected at 5100' elevation.

... I can't believe you used the S word!?!?! It is only September and I won't get out to Phoenix until at least November.

So apparently I'm destined to not string more than two good rounds together ever again, LOL.

Moved up a tee to the greens today for league play, as it was wet, CPO, and well, we're old. The shorter layout didn't help me at all, as I shot 90 and finished out of the money. Six shots higher than I did on the same course from the whites earlier this week.

I've got to stop joking about how poorly I'm hitting my irons and buckle down and fix things. It's really become an issue.

Oh man, talking snow already?? We've got a little indian summer hitting us this week, so we don't have to think about the white stuff for a while yet fortunately
