First off, it sounds like you had an awesome time and I'm glad you got to play at such wonderful venues. 

How were the nerves standing there on the tee of #17? 

How did the 923's perform for you? The 921 line is amazing and I really enjoy being able to pull them out of the bag and hit them. 

I was kind of OK the first shot but was shaking a bit the second one after I rinsed the first.

I think they're going to be great once I get a few rounds with them. Playing that course with irons I got the night before was not a good idea, but we were all in the same boat.

The Tale of Two Nines for me today.  Still not driving the ball like I should, but scrambling for pars... until the back nine; then I didn't scramble very well.

Shot a 38 (+1) on the front nine, then a 41 (+6) on the back nine for a 79.  Two doubles killed me, but the greens are very slow and not rolling very well after being punched last Monday.  Still... my last three rounds have been in the 70's, so there's that.

Nice Kenny!

I have a little bit to unpack from my round yesterday.. shot 79... which is ok... had back to back triples on 9 and 10, which is not ok.  One birdie which is 'almost' ok, with plenty of good looks for birdies all day which is both ok, and not ok.  Both my triples were the result of an 'out of the blue' outside in swing with an open club face, which is not ok.  But the rest of the day - considering I was 6 over in two holes and still shot 7 over par total... is better than ok on 16/18 holes.  As I said... a little to unpack, 😬

Monday morning overcast but didn’t rain.  Swing is starting to come back little by little.  Short game is well …coming up short, needs some attention in upcoming weeks.
Shot a +6 for the 9 holes and had a legit shot at 2 birdies but putting wasn’t up to it.

Bonus material: we got to see nature at its finest as a coyote nabbed a squirrel about 100 yards ahead of us. It was a real sight to see. 
 

 

Nice course to see a good variety of nature.  There's a couple of eagles that nest there that you can usually see over the lake.  Beautiful place for a long walk.

Nice bird!  That's a tough hole, I often lose a ball or two on that one.  The aerial doesn't give the elevation changes justice.

Ya, i actually hit my 4i and it settled right near the tree. There was a branch that was coming out from the tree 45*. I could had rested my head on the branch in posture but also not hit it with my club. Luckily I am right handed. i basically punched out my Hybrid hard and tried to stop my swing quickly.

Sometimes the slightest fault can explode everything else down the line.  Played Glendoveer West yesterday, my home course.  Felt like I was swinging ok, but managed to duff it a few times.  That's my normal, no sweat.  Tee to approach is not my strong game.  

Chipping on the other hand is usually pretty decent, and I couldn't keep myself from hitting the ground most of the time yesterday.  That, or way over hitting it.  Anything within 10 yards was just not getting anywhere close to the flag.  This led to way more putts than I would normally take, including a 4 put on the first hole (sheesh!). 

My long game was stronger than I though though, still got a new index score (107) for my handicap and shot well below my normal average (115).  Was "chipping" from 60-70 yards out with my irons and they were getting to where they needed to be.  No more hail mary's with full swing wedges.  Those can backfire. Things are looking up.  The birdie on #4 didn't hurt either. 

Getting new clubs this week, can't wait to see if they help tighten things up.

Nice Kenny!  

Thanks!  Except for the driver, I've been striking the ball better than ever.  I'm hoping the streak continues, but in the back of my mind I'm waiting for the big crash.

Played Sat. In Eastern WA, Played Rock Island golf course outside Wenatchee, WA.  Haven't played it in a long time..  Wind was howling, Did not score well, but hit the ball well, shot a 90. 41/49.. Had a couple of miscues, but pretty happy with Ball striking across all clubs.. Driving the Ball consistently in the 250ish range with a couple around 275... The biggest issue I had was putting, the greens were punched and sanded.. I had putts that ended up short, I had putts that took turns. I only made 2 putts outside of 2 feet.. If give myself 2 putts on Half the holes I 3 putted, Just half, I would save 5 strokes.. But I spent the day with my Father in Law Drinking beer and golfing... Sure as hell beats shopping with the wife and Mother in Law.. LOL.. 

I was not pleased that the course did not give me a heads up when I made the tee time.. but Oh well still a great day..

First round at Hilton Head Island this year was at Golden Bear……shot 45/45:90 with 9/14 FIR for 64%; 2/18 GIR for 11%; only 28 putts and had a 50% Up & Down. Longest drive was 197. 

I played the Gold Tees at 6,145 yards. A bit long for my game as I usually play 5,500 yds. I put a 3W in my bag and used it a fair amount.

My Strokes Gained as compared to a 15 Hcap was +.57 and to a 20 Hcap was +6.22.

Next round up is Country Club of Hilton Head…..

On Friday afternoon myself and a friend decided to play a quick 18 holes. With our home course being a 9 hole setup we each played with two balls, one from each tee box to get 18 holes done in just under 2 hours.  The last time I played I had some real issues with a very flat backswing and wanted to work on that to get my swing back on plane, so focused mainly on that and didn't hit any of the shots at 100%. Surprisingly it really worked for me, even though I putted like a clown, I carded a 4 over par 76. Equaling my best round for the last 2 years.

On a side note, a bright orange Srixon really flies of a driver and 3 wood. 

I didn't play over the weekend as it was super hot (107 degrees F), so decided to rather go and drive in the Kruger park looking for the big 5 in an dual airconditioned minibus.

Played in a charity scramble tournament a week ago - team consisted of me, my brother, my brother-in-law, and his brother. We were playing decent and had a lot more distance off the tee than most groups out, and managed to tie for first with a 56 (-16). Unfortunately we lost the count-back tie breaker, but it still felt like a good showing!

And now I'm heading out to play this afternoon to test how Arccos works on my new Apple Watch that was my prize from the tournament.

A nice sunny day; my wife was playing with the Ladies group, so I decided to walk 9 holes.  Met 3 guys on the 1st tee and I used to work in the same group as one of them!!  It was windy, maybe 15-20 mph; most wind we have had for over a month, quite unusual.  My wind game apparently needs some work.  

Doubled the par 4 2nd hole. which is the easiest hole on the front nine and a hole that I have birdied more often than any other hole on the course.  Hit my tee shot where I have never been before; off to the right in the mounds between #2 and #3.  Ball below my feet on a steep downhill lie in thick grass.  Moved the ball about 40 feet, then hit into a bunker that has a 12 foot lip and 30 yards short of the green; got out but short of the green... up and down for double.  Fell on my arse getting out of the bunker!! Note to self... never go there again!!!

Also doubled the par 4 7th hole after hitting my tee shot into the #6 fairway bunker.  I have to get my wind game in order.  Score:  41 (two doubles and 7 pars).

Owen didn't want to play today so I walked eighteen at River Heights today.  Probably should have stayed home.

Weather was great; sunny with a good breeze.  Course was deserted for some reason.  Just a great setup for success.  And then I showed up.

Had four really good drives and my wood and hybrid were really good too.  Everything else was hot garbage 😂.  Just couldn't make clean contact.  Pretty equal mix of thins and fats.  I was swaying pretty badly and couldn't help myself.  Ah well...given the chance to do it again, I would be out there every time!!

Shot 54/51 105 (+33).  On a positive note, I would have been pretty good with this score a year ago.

Just keep focus on the positives and don’t beat yourself up on the negatives.  Some days are just like that.  Swaying is one of the easier things to fix, but with that being said, nothing in golf is easy.

Exec 9 this morning, a tough 9 and after rain every evening makes it tougher.  For so treason the Tee location we’re set back to make matters worse.  I had my best ball striking day in a long time, before knee replacement.  Had 3 drives plug and so did everyone else so it was a search if didn’t hit the green.  And the greens they were really nice, bit slow from rain and my putter was liking it.  
Ended up with a +6 and considering conditions felt like even Par!

We had a player drop out last minute due to his wife’s illness so we got a walk on.  He was a player, Mostly PXG sticks and younger than us maybe 60.  Anyway he was a really great guy to have with us.  
Playing Big Boy course tomorrow hope rain holds off a bit.
