How did you shoot today at Golf

I figured we could have a thread on golf rounds. I'll go 1st. Played Whirlwind Cattail course today. I was hitting the driver far. Pushing 290-300 75% of...

Golf_ghirl WINS, 4&3. Final on Saturday afternoon, she's in with a shout. Although it's a scratch match their handicaps are pretty close so it should be a good one to watch. I'll just do what I did Monday and tonight - turn up part way thru the match and she wins 3 in a row, never looks back after that.

I keep trying different driver head-shaft combos. Gotta just stick with something. Played yesterday front 9. With so many lessons and clinics in addition to the pro shop I just don’t have time for 18 anymore.

Shot -5 and was happy to make a few 10-12 foot putts. I’ve been missing those this year. Only birdies usually came on par 5’s and if it put a shot to 2’ for a tap in birdie.

Typhoon Thanks for pointing out all of your difficulties and struggles in -5 over 9 holes. We all feel better now…. 🙄

I don't know how you stay motivated after shooting those scores. You are persistent! I'd get all pissed off and quit........ 🤣

Nice score, John.

Shot a +2 on our easier 9 last night in our league last night to tie my match vs an 18 capper. That was on the heels of a 44 last week on the tough 9 where I had my butt handed back to me.

I shot 38-38-76 today at my 'home course,' Chippewa Golf Club, near Toledo. The place was in the best
shape it's been in all season, and greens really rolling. We've had GREAT weather for the last week or so, with
high temps in the 70's or low 80's, making it a pleasure to play. It's all coming to an end though....they're calling for temps in the 90's for the next week or so, so I'll be riding instead of walking next week!!

Men’s night tonight. Gonna be humid. VS proto is back the Gmax. YES Natalie is back in the bag. Trying to improve on 19 putts taken last time.

79 today. Shot a 42 on the front, was hoping for low 80's and caught fire at the end with birdie-par-birdie and a 37.

My putting had been so bad lately I put the old Bobby Grace 6.4K back in the bag and got some magic back. 😅

It changes, but this is the current bag:

G400Max w/ Graphite Design AD-HD
Pinhawk LF 3 wood
G425 Irons w/ Aerotech i110
Bobby Grace 6.4K

ValueGolf That g425 Aerotech 110 sound like a great combo. I put one together from my fitting stuff using an i210 head.

Played in our men’s night last night - 37 on the front with 2 birdies and a 37 on the back with one birdie for a smooth 74 (my cap is at 12 right now). Made some putts that I should’ve missed but also missed a few putts I should have made and left 2 hanging on the lip. Didn’t use the gps on the watch and just played by looking at the fairway markers and guesttimating the distances. Also played with two other guys I had never played with before that weren’t playing men’s night, but just out there having a good time. Also not playing for any money and I think I was able to relax and go back to having fun.

Scramble with my wife today 41-36 77. Slow start and fast finish. Nice back nine. Bogeyed 18 to miss out on a -1 on the back nine.

Hit the range today to try and figure out the Geek Floyd Driver. The extra length (46 inches) and hard stepped stiff Grafalloy PL Supercharged Red is doing a good job keeping me right. I didn’t get great launch when I played my first round with it (but was getting ok distance on poor hits around 275). I started with more low launches from low strikes. I got a few videos of my swing and I was really hitting down on it. I teed it a bit higher and focused on hitting up and caught some great ones. Still a work in progress but the Floyd is very forgiving and I’m keeping it strait.

The Thriver Mini (at 5W length) is a rocket launcher. Bombs off the tee and piss missiles off the deck.

Something I’ll try when I feel like I’m hitting down on it. I’ll actually take it more outside on the backswing and focus on dropping it to the inside on the downswing. Sort of think about how Jim Furyk does it.

Played the 1st time today in a month. Between my back issues last month and my cataract surgery 1.5 weeks ago I have not been able to play until now. My eyes are not fully adjusted yet so I wanted an easy course. Took me a while to get m6 eyes adjusted. Shot 46-42. Front nine was a struggle with chipping. Finally got it figured out a bit better on the back nine. Felt good enough to book a round at Quintero next Sunday.

Mattyv Congrats on getting back out there. More good rounds to come.

88 at a pretty easy course I break 80 a lot. Freak day I was pounding the ball for me anyways. Pumping irons over greens that I thought wasn’t possible. A handful of shots like that cost me triples and doubles. Oh well golf is weird some days but I always have a blast

Played our back 9 today which is tougher than the front because of all the uneven lies, blind shots and doglegs. Shot -1… no bad shots, just lazy round really. Funny thing was on 18 I had 120 to the hole and hit a gap wedge from the right rough. I looked up and never saw it. So had to keep scanning to see it come down somewhere. Shocked me to see it land a foot directly behind the hole and not move. Never saw it in the air.

Yes, I made the putt.
