Played 2 saturdays ago and one of the worst 90+ rounds I can remember over the last few years.  It was extremely wettttttttt and CPO/slow. A few days later went to the range to erase, and hit pretty well.  Then went to Fl to watch grandson play baseball but hit some new clubs at pgatss to start narrowing my search.

The last three days served as a volunteer fir the Southern Conference Championship tournament and on my feet 5 hrs each day.  East Tenn St won at -31, UT Chattanooga was -25 and Furman at -21.  A lot of great golf and nice kids.

After the final round today, played 9h with tWife not expecting anything great.  However, shot 38 (par35), 6/6 FIRs, 6/9 GIRs, with 1 birdie.  A great day with 19,000 steps.  The beer tastes great!

Yesterday I couldn't control the ball, today I did a much better job of it on 9 holes at Atlantis GC, my home county course. Haven't been here in years, so had to get reacquainted with the layout.

Scored +7 on the par 36 front 9, tough double on #4, 3 pars and 5 bogeys. Had trouble getting any putts to fall outside 5' though a couple were very close.20230425_175811.jpg.dfd9a977c0f8ff0a62292302772ce272.jpg20230425_170837.jpg.f4fe6c1b7d16586a25f85b611a4735b5.jpg

Filled in on my brother-in-law's work league tonight. Woke up to 30s and snow storm, hard to believe it looked like this at 4 PM.

Played some of the best golf I've ever played. Solid all around, couple shaky tee shots but scrambled well. In all honestly the league also played gimmes and our partners were a little generous in tapping the ball back to me on a few knee knockers.

  • 36 (-1)
  • 4/7 FIR
  • 5/9 GIR
  • 14 putts (5 2 putts, 4 1 putts)

Can't wait for the weather to warm up and cooperate. Mid to upper 40s is not the ideal ball flight weather!

Love that course, one of my buddy's dad has been a league member there forever! Which 9 did you play?

White. First time out on that nine, had only previously played Red or Gold. 

The par 5s were favorable, but I hit my mid irons well. Couple 6 and 7 irons into greens. Overall a nice mix of shots and a very fair layout. Wish it was closer to me because the range and practice area is top notch, and course is quality, too!

Nice! Totally agree, and really reasonable rates too. I haven't played white or blue, but I really enjoyed the other 3 that I have played!

Generally a 45/45 90 would be frustrating for me. Today though, I played a LPGA caliber course, in a tournament, and tournament conditioning.  I've never been on a golf course as immaculate as Saticoy CC was today.  I actually played pretty well, but I made the mistake of being above the hole on the greens too many times.  Something like 4/ 3-putts on the day + at least 4 doubles.  😑  My first putt was a 4 footer that broke heavily left to right.  I aimed 45 degrees left, put a 1" stroke on it, then watched it slide by and trickle out to 20'.  Slippery...  It finally got to the point where I realized that I could not go at the pin if I was above it.  I turned those downhill birdie putts into defensive lateral putts to flat areas closer to the hole.   It worked and the three putts stopped.  There was also a lot of elevation change and wind later in the day.  Tournament -- so no slope function allowed on the laser.  I did pretty well judging, but there's definitely a few strokes in there that I dropped because of it.  

Highlights on the day:

195 yard (playing 210-15?) 3 hybrid to 12' (unfortunately above the hole, but it was a par)

30 yard uphill greenside bunker shot to 1" for par.

Bunker shot over the lip to 2' to 'save' bogey

Lots of fun short game shots today.  The greens though slippery were relatively easy to read from a chipping perspective and I had one of my best days in a long time on short approach.   Plus, legit sand in the bunkers was a pleasure.  Its surprisingly easy to get the ball out when there's sand in bunkers and not compacted clay under dust.  

Pretty good day on a tough site unseen course in tough conditions.  

Par 3 with 110 ' of elevation drop and water.  This caused the group behind us a LOT of trouble.   150 Yards into the teeth of the wind.

PXL_20230424_191853644.jpg.7bbbca375f1affdd6bf2aa53bf6aaaef.jpg

Par 5 wrapping around the cliff edge.

PXL_20230424_200824828.jpg.2a6ed9f625ecc843b12ef812be8d5034.jpg

Same Par 5 from the top of the hole.  (you can see the 50' downhill putt for birdie I have left)  

PXL_20230424_202102572.jpg.ea8442fe2ed01296df1585f409dbc81e.jpg

Turns out the course was much harder on people than I thought.  My 90 was good enough for third in the top flight gross. (12-0 indexes in a smaller group) Pipped by two guys who shot 87.  

In other good news I won net.  So I 'made' money.  🤪.... At least enough to pay the entry fee for the next tournament.

Rewind to Sunday.  Played in the cold, well it did make it into the low 50s, and the mist let up after the 2nd hole so who can really complain.  Missed a 3 foot birdie putt and two very makable par putts to go into #18 at +8;  Blocked my drive out on #18 and ended up making double to put myself out of the $$ for the day.  ARG!!!

Fast forward to Tuesday.  I think it actually hit 60 degrees today.  Because of a CRAZY day at work I had to race to make my Tuesday night league tee time, mostly because I didn't want to waste a great weather day.  Went from the car to the tee and the other 3 players waiting on me to head down the 1st fairway.  Ended up being just what I needed to recover from work chaos.

Not a bad day all things considered. Glad I decided to stay home cause that would have caused problems. Apparetly I found the line for what it takes for me to cancel golf, and that is hell literally freezing over.

welp 48 in league.  not my best effort.  ended the day with an ocho after losing two balls on the same hole... into the same creek (went in after that little s*** though).

couldnt get any putts to drop so had a lot of tap in 3 putts (brutal).

lost one findable drive somewhere so ate a penalty there.

obliterated a 3w farther than I expected... hit it too long and... ate a penalty there too.

overall brutal day lol.  Not to make excuses but Im blaming it on running a 5k the day before.  Gonna have to switch my workout days to after golf instead.

Its new to me to be hitting balls far enough (above average for my hcp anyway) now to actually have to worry about... maybe I should club down for this next shot.

good news though is my iron striking was vastly better than the week before so that helped make up for the other potato moves.

tldr:  tired and sore as hell from exercise day before, completely mismanaged the course, paid for it with more penalty shots than Ive ever had in a single round.

Sunday evening I finished everything I had to do just in time to make it up to the course and walk 9, so I quickly got up to the course. Putter was really working for me (14 putts on 9 holes, 0 3 putts). Working on distance control with my chipping since my first lesson, need to adjust and find a rhythm. Irons however I couldn't hit to save my life, chunking behind the ball way too many times. 2 pars, 3 bogeys, 3 doubles, and a blowup quad: 49.

Had my second lesson yesterday, so definitely got some lessons on iron shots. Walked 9 after the lesson, had one of my best 9 holes ever. Putting wasn't as great (19 putts on 9 holes, 1 3 putt). But I consistently was able to get my ball down the fairway much straighter than before. 2 pars, 6 bogeys, 1 double bogey: 44

Hoping to play like that during a full 18 and meet my break 90 goal for this summer. Gonna go walk 9 again today. 🙃

It was down the middle 🫣 plus it’s a stuffed up driver shaft that I broke the tip while removing the adapter from too much heat, probably the one of the first few I did from a old Nickent driver 😎

9 holes at Clearbrook GC. Aerated greens again, 4th different course recently, about 2/3 of my recent rounds. Guess April is a popular time to punch and sand the greens.

Couple doubles hurt, made a ten foot bogey putt to keep a 3rd off the card. Ended up +8 on the 9 holes with 2 net birdies.20230426_130641.jpg.cc20d146d7b7190b807fdfc5fd15a859.jpg

Went to Colonial Terrace afterwards for another 9 holes walking. Played great aside from a pulled drive OB on #7. Even birdied #2 which always challenges me. +4 on the 9 holes including double on #7. Played 6 holes at -1 net.20230426_171456.jpg.cf5531e764c03a414ab889499dea16ea.jpg

Owen and I got out and mostly played the back nine at River Heights today.  Crews are still working on the new irrigation system; holes 1 and 18 were under repair so after 17 we jumped over to play hole 9 to complete our round.  Little chilly to start but it was mostly open in front and got busier and busier behind us so it was good we started when we did.

Starting on a pair of par threes is always a boom or bust situation with me, even more so now when my iron game is toast.  Today was on the bust side as I started out triple double with three chips on ten and three putts on eleven.

Twelve didn't start much better as I hit a poor drive that hooked.  I ground my clubs behind the ball before I start my back swing.  If the head catches something as I pull back it pulls everything out of sequence.  I either need to learn to hover my club or learn to abandon the swing and reset.  Wound up bogeying the hole.  

Actually parred the next two holes.  14 was an especially big deal to me.  It was my nemesis hole last year; the last one on the course that I managed to par.  To knock it off my list early was a confidence booster.

Fifteen and sixteen had poor drives and equally poor recoveries leading to a double and a bogey.

Seventeen was a good sequence of shots leading to a par and then over to nine where I wasted a good drive with a mediocre chip and bad putting for a bogey.

If you're following along at home, that's a (+10) 46 for the day, pretty in line with my recent performances.  Owen played well although his chipping was a bit of a struggle.  He beat me by a stroke.

Played 16 today. Had to leave to pick one of my kids up from school. Playing at University Club of Kentucky on the Wildcat Course, playing with my dad and two other senior golfers so I play their tees to keep pace of play up, shot a 42 on the front and was at 31 with an easy par 4 and a par 5 the toughest hole on the course left.

Been on the road working for awhile, so decided to go play 9 this afternoon. Our course is soaked, and the greens are struggling from winter. The greens are getting better, but the nights are not getting warm enough to really get some growth. This makes making putts difficult, but I’m using it as a way to work on my mental game. My swing is really coming together. I’m starting to trust it on the course, and my ball striking is getting clean. My misses are now mostly directional, which is leaving me short sided pin high which is where I need to start focusing on improvement.

Yesterday not so good. Played new course by myself and had no clue of the nuances I was running into. Today, weather was 10* warmer, 62 and sunny. Played much better. At least I felt better playing an old reliable.
