Popular Post Rob Person Posted May 29 Popular Post Share Posted May 29 Squeezed another 9 in after golf course duties. Didn't walk it because they literally let me out between turn times. Also didn't have the ability to snap but 2 pics. Last 4 holes I actually paired up with a twosome after I was able to play through a walking 4some of High school kids. There 2 4somes behind me and they were just out enjoying "nature's light" finest beverages and music. Shot decent off the tee. 6/9 fairways. Approaches were decent, but still overshootimg my club distances by 10+ yards on long wedges. Hit 1 of 2 greens on the par 3 holes. It hit the flagstick 2 feet above the hole and ricocheted off the front of the green down a hill about 30 feet. 60⁰ saved me and put it 2 foot from the pin, saved par. The other par 3, 120 to the front, and 140 yards to the pin, and used my PW as I was hoping for a little roll out as I was elevated 25 feet above it on the box. No tee, off the deck, I pured that shot because it landed 20 feet past the pin! One of the guys I was playing with used a tee and a shortened swing with an 8i. It dunked the cup and bounced out!!! He nearly cried! I had 2 , 3 putts also. I know i missed some opportunities on fairway to green shots, and i really need to get my distances dialed in at a top tracer range. The best part was this sun setting photo on #9. It just spoke to me in silence how grateful I am to be out here, able to play and enjoy this sport.

TuukkaH Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Got to share here the round from the last Saturday. As background, I started to play golf last year May and progress has been steady and going forward quite nicely. Last summer I was getting some sort of consistency even though the results were not exceptional yet. I was playing normally a bit over 100 strokes a round, broke 100 couple of times. After the season, in the winter time I went lot to the simulator and practiced my swing. The season started this year at the end of April / beginning of May. The first rounds were already quite promising and I played my best round, 93 quite soon. However, the Saturday was something exceptional. For some reason, everything felt more or less automatic and everything just clicked. I played 81 which was 16 under my handicap. On one hole, there was a downhill put for eagle that ended up being a par. I guess that breaking also 80 with that round would have been too much However, basically all my targets for this summer were crushed in one round and the feeling during the round and after it was euphoric. I had already quite good spark on the game but this amplified it even more. I bet that next rounds will not be always as good as that one but it was nice to see the potential that is in me. cksurfdude, cnosil, Swood1994 and 6 others 7 2 Quote Ai Smoke Max 10.5° driver - Graphite Design Tour AD CQ-6 X Aerojet 5w - MCA Kai'li Blue 60 Stiff Cobra LTDx 4h - KBS PGI 85 Stiff P790 5-PW - KBS Tour Lite Stiff FG Tour PMP 50° - KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 Model 56° - Dynamic Gold 120 S300 JAG Blade Putter (Finnish microbrand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxEntropy Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Interesting evening in league last night.... Driver was not terribly sharp again, but approach and short game were pretty stout. Putting was kind of iffy - I got there late and only got to roll a few putts before we tee'd off, so distance control was terrible. At the same time, I made a lot in the 5-7 foot range. I only hit one solid drive all night and ended up in a pond. 3rd shot into a greenside bunker, up and down for a bogey. Almost every other drive was a weird, heal-y slider that was low and short. I guess the good thing about them being short was they couldn't reach as much trouble. All told, I ended up with 5 pars and 4 bogies with two of the bogies being 3-putts (one was bad, the other from really long range). Once again, I had GIR's on all three par 3's, which almost never happens. Anyway, happy with another 39 (+4) given the way I was getting off the tee. I'm playing with @DiscipleofPenick Friday afternoon - we are going to figure out what I am doing with driver. I thought I had it figured out a couple weeks ago, but apparently not.

Popular Post Shapotomous Posted May 29 Popular Post Share Posted May 29 (edited) 9 hole league night last night was a good luck / bad luck experience. I had 3 tee balls that worked out much better than the contact would have suggested thanks to a very strong tail wind on one getting me past the dogleg tree line, a nice cart path bounce on another getting me past the dogleg tree line and the third somehow found all the open spaces in a tree and ended up in the fairway on another dogleg. Bad luck balanced those out, in two cases immediately. The 2nd shot on one rolling out right up against the heavy rough collar and the scuff from the cart path being bad enough that you could see the ball flight take a sharp left turn and come up about 10 yards short. I didn't get up and down in either case as the person doing pin placements needs to understand that pins 5' from the fringe is frowned upon. The third bit of bad luck was another questionable pin placement at the top edge of a false front. I had advance info from someone saying to make sure you are below the hole there on the approach. I positioned myself perfectly with about a 10' uphill putt from the right side for birdie. The putt lipped in and then sadly out and had just enough juice on the lip out to trickle 20' down the steep left side incline to the collar of rough/fringe. So i took a 3 putt bogey there. The scoring ended up with 3 birdies and only 1 par paired with 4 bogeys and a double to end up 3 over. As is said here often...thats G O L F. I did end up winning the match 5 1/2 - 3 1/2 so it was a decent points night to help the team.

Popular Post GolfSpy_KFT Posted May 29 Popular Post Share Posted May 29 First night of league last night and while we didn't score great as a team, had some solid ball striking and a great finishing hole. We weren't keeping the scorecard as the group we played with was, so I'm not even sure what we finished at. my guess is somewhere between +8-10. Keep in mind, my partner for the scramble league hasn't golfed in about 6 years, so there will be an acclimation period to getting back into it. He hit some great approach shots yesterday which was awesome, and we had a really good time. On the final hole, which is a shorter slight dogleg left par 4, I hit what is so far the best on course drive with the Darkspeed X. I have never carried the furthest fairway bunker on this hole, so I was absolutely thrilled with the shot. Hit my 60* to 13 feet, then missed the birdie putt by about 6 inches. We've got some better golf ahead of us, and overall I struck the ball quite well. Feeling really good with the direction my game is going right now, and putting for me was much better last night than the day before.

Jacob10 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I was able to play 9 holes last Friday in preparation of a family outing on Saturday, with a new driver, Ping G425 Max. It neither helped nor hurt during this 9 holes. I hit it mostly solid but could never get it on line. I managed to shoot a 39 (+3) with 19 putts, thankfully, I two-putted each of the par 5s for birdie, otherwise it would have been rough. I narrowly missed a 12 foot downhill eagle on the first, but i hit it about 4 feet by. After that, I gave nothing over 5 feet a decent chance, including a 3-putt from 35 feet on 6, and no giving an 8 footer on 7 a chance for birdie. Iron play was very solid for me, finding 6 of 9 greens. My oldest daughter (6) begged all afternoon to go to the golf course that day after I got home. We got to the range to found several balls left, so she had field day trying to hit them all. She got the ball airborne regularly, and she carried a couple 50+ yards. I took a few of the range balls to work on the new driver to see if I could figure out the setup to get it on target. I hit probably 15-20 solid shots with my normal mid height fade, but still struggled getting it to start on my intended line. Probably a personal issue as I rarely, if ever, work on setup and ball position. Nevertheless, I felt comfortable with the ball flight. Saturday's round (details below) was not as comfortable with the driver and cost me a few strokes. That brings me to our annual Memorial Day family event. We can have up to 15-20 people with us and most play, but only a few of us are competitive about our score. Three of us placed a small bet before starting and we were off to play in soggy conditions with casual water on most of the course. That is close to where the fun stopped for the day, for me. I had good looks for birdie on 1 and 2, short par 4 and short par 5. Left over from Friday's round, I hit these with little conviction. No. 2 was the first driver of the day, and it was similar to the previous day, off line but playable. On 3, I had about 5 feet for par, and I finally had good pace and line. It rolled over the edge for a bogey. Very disappointing to be +1 through 3 with the putts I had missed. Not only did it not get better, it got worse on the front 9. A 3-putt on 5, not a good look for birdie on 6, shortish par 5, OB on 7 and 8, but salvaged a bogey on 9 after 2 chunks to keep from closing with 3 doubles. A 44 (+8) with 18 putts, 1 fairway and 3 greens. Going into the back 9, I was down $10 and had no confidence in my game. Holes 10-13, I managed to be even, thanks to good shots around the green, and 1 good putt. After this, I was thinking, I can at least make some money back with a short par 4 and short par 5 coming up. Made par on 14, and destroyed my hope on 15 by bogeying going into the closing stretch which is the toughest part of the course, finishing bogey, bogey after a drop, par. I closed the back with a 37 (+3) with 12 putts, 1 fairway and 1 green. Not sure when my next round will come, but I need it ASAP, to get the taste out of my mouth and get some swings in with the new driver. I imagine I will figure the driver out, as with any new relationship, it takes some work.

Popular Post Jim Shaw Posted May 29 Popular Post Share Posted May 29 Good morning spy's I have been playing and practicing quite a bit lately as tournament season cranks up starting this weekend. 3 tournaments in June. I don't know if this will help anyone but my process usually is, I play social rounds and takeaway areas of opportunity, not too many but ones that stand out. Currently it is my chipping, I am not delivering the "up and downs" that I feel are available to me, so off to the chipping area i go and get to work. I have been working for about a week and yesterday they were about 50/50, I made some really nice chips and some not really nice chips, so after time spent with my grandkids today (on the climbing wall) back to chip and work on those up and downs... anyway happy practicing out there spy's keep the grind going....

Popular Post bens197 Posted May 29 Popular Post Share Posted May 29 Played Durand Eastman today. This is Robert Trent Jones’ first course and of all his designs, this one is a fun walk through Irondequoit, NY on Lake Ontario. It’s a county course and in peak season costs $16 to walk. Yes you heard that correctly. Shot 80, 8/14 fairways, 8/18 greens and 31 putts. I hit the ball really well but could not for the life of me put it all together. 3, 3 putts is close to becoming the end of days for the broom. One highlight among many was my approach to 13. 439 dogleg left. I had a downhill lie off a mound with the ball above my feet and hit an 8 iron from 160 to here. Missed the putt which was on brand for me today.

Yes you heard that correctly. Shot 80, 8/14 fairways, 8/18 greens and 31 putts. I hit the ball really well but could not for the life of me put it all together. 3, 3 putts is close to becoming the end of days for the broom. One highlight among many was my approach to 13. 439 dogleg left. I had a downhill lie off a mound with the ball above my feet and hit an 8 iron from 160 to here. Missed the putt which was on brand for me today. Some additional photos from today… Looks like a nice course and can’t beat that price! Pay double that around here and aren’t nearly as green as that. cksurfdude, Syks7, bens197 and 5 others 8 Quote TaylorMade SIM 2 Max Driver TaylorMade Stealth 3 wood Titleist U510 Hybrid (3H) TaylorMade Tour Preferred CB Irons Vokey SM8 Wedges (52/56/60) Odyssey Ai-ONE 7S Putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a really great test.

Popular Post TomBomb51 Posted May 30 Popular Post Share Posted May 30 I did it boys! MY FIRST HOLE IN ONE! My only green in regulation the whole night, played awful....but it only takes one! Hard hole, tight, 185 yards, 6 iron. One of the toughest par 3s in our area (Skenandoah). Pitched a foot or so behind the hole and spun back in the hole. I refused to believe it but it actually happened. I've been playing golf 30 of my 36 years on this planet, being around scratch the last 5 years and honestly never thinking it would happen and it happened. Bar bill wasn't too bad, about $200. cnosil, tdroma98, barney_bogey and 20 others 5 1 17 Quote *insert WITB here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations!!! I'm still not on board with the whole idea that YOU buy everyone's round, considering it is they Who should be celebrating your achievement!!
