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...

rsvman2 No, Uncle Steve, i'm talking about the Hamptons on the Eastern end of Long Island, NY, where the rich and famous live.

My bad...... 😂

78 today at Hobbs Hole, Tappahannock, VA. Turf conditions were as good as any public course I've ever played. Low slope, short, friendly layout. Golf is fun there.

First time back out since playing with lucky Mattyv two weeks ago enabled me to break my months long 80s streak with a 74. Today was at the Morgan Run Resort/Club in San Diego - nice course with some nasty rough. Ball striking was ok, although my driver fade wasn't, so I played out of that left side rough quite a bit. Chipping was good and putter was ok in the 4-6 foot range, so I saved quite a few pars. Missed 4-5 birdie putts under 15 feet though - but finally broke through making birdie putts on 14 and 18 to finish with another 74. The Mattyv luck continues.

I can not take credit but glad to see you playing well. Based on my round Sunday, I think I left my game in Ventura somewhere.

Mattyv where did you play last, I'll try to go find it... 🤣

Walterjn

I think I left it in the back nine at Olivas Links. I will send you $12 if you find it and ship it to me.🤣

Walterjn

Mattyv wait, you mean I'd have to give it back and not keep it and get better??? Oh man, here I thought I'd found a shortcut to a good game! 🤣

Mattyv I may not be a "real" golfer but I don't like playing more than two days in a row. A day off and Im excited to play another 2. Three or more days in a row seems like a job to me. I can see why your game would suffer playing 6 in a row

That might be the case, but what else would I do with my time on this trip. No wife, no kids and no other responsibilities. Even bad golf on day 5 is better than no golf.😁

Shot another boring 89. Im in a rut where every round will be between 86-92 and really 88-91. Every round. For awhile it would be 39 or 40 on the front followed by 48 on the back or vice versa. At least I had one good nine. Now its 45-45 or thereabouts everytime. And its usually different screw ups. It's like going to the casino knowing you're going to break even. What's the point?
I used to go thinking I could shoot in the 70s. I didn't do it very often but the chance was there and usually shot low 80s. Now 88-91 guaranteed

garyt1957 While Steve is probably out playing right now, I'll step in for him......have you considered it may be as simple as......you need new clubs?

Gary, I'm just coming out of a 1-year slump. I'll have to go back to my "I'm in driver hell" thread and se when it started, but I have no clue what contributed. COVID vaccine (Toulon)? 😂 My neck issues? Playing different clubs every 5 minutes? Since the middle of August, I'm back and don't know why. Hitting the ball as far as I did over a year ago (farther even) and scoring in the 70's half the time. My buddies say it's the XXIO stuff, but my confidence is high right now and golf is fun again. YOU'LL BE BACK!!!!

Man, I've tried all hybrids, all fairway woods, 4 drivers, yada yada, it ain't the clubs

garyt1957 Maybe take a few weeks off and go back at it.

Typhoon weather change will soon give me 3 months off.

fixed it for you: Maybe take a few weeks off and quit

Par4QC

Typhoon Yeah, like we can play year round otherwise? There is no 'taking time off' in my house, at least. I play, shoot 98 or 78, don't care. It's all golf, outdoors, in shorts weather.

KCee

Are you sure you're from New England? We're already forced to take 3-5 months off every year; we can't afford to miss a few weeks!!!

gawddam, tears to my eyes.

Might you be running for President soon??

It’s just not life or death for me… I couldn’t care less if I played or not.
