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...

Probably played the best I have in awhile yesterday...

First time playing the Mt. Prospect Golf Club, a muni near Chicago. Interesting course design, in that it was remade in the design of Seth Raynor and the holes are modelled with historic British holes in mind, as you can see from the card below. (Here's a link [https://www.golfmtprospect.com/course-overview/] for more info if interested.) So to say the least the greens were well-contoured and multi-tiered in most cases.

Keep in mind I am a 20+ capper. I started out like a house on fire: two pars, a bird, and two more pars. The first four greens were all one-putts. Did play the gold tees since that's what my driver distance warrants. Had one blow-up hole but ended up one-putting at least 6 greens (no kick-ins) and only 2 3-putts. The guys I played with were struggling on the greens, and couldn't believe my putting. Well, that's my strong suit I guess. Putter responsible is the Snake Eyes Viper Tour SV1.

Was even 2 out of 3 on sand saves using the Maltby Sand Putter. 😀

Went around twice yesterday with a friend and her daughter. She hasn't played in about 14 years, since her daughter was born. She's been wanting to get back in to golfing, and her daughter decided to try. Daughter is having a great time, plays most of the course with a 9 iron. Hits her 9 off the tee, follows it up with her 9 from wherever her tee shot landed. Might take her 6 hits to get to the green, and a few putts, she's getting the hang of it, and enjoying herself.

Is her daughter tall enough and strong enough to handle women’s clubs yet? I’ve got a couple heads I could send ya.

Walterjn

colej she is almost as tall as her mother and is using her mother's clubs, they are both about 5'.
As far as them needing clubs; my friends husband used to play almost every day before he passed away a few years ago from cancer. She still has all his old clubs, and her old iron set. She bought a new set of Callaway X18 before her daughter was born. Most of their issue right now is needing to replace the grips on the wedges, woods, and driver. The grips on the irons are still soft and feel to be in good shape, still recommended that they get them all changed.

Only played a scramble tournament this weekend and we just did ok, but somehow I won long drive. Not quite 270, but apparently no one was hitting the fairway. It is a hard fairway to hit and surprised they used this hole. The Epic Max LS may stay in the bag a while.

Played ine of my favorite courses yesterday. The Links at Las Polomas in Puerto Penasco Mexico. Shot 42-46. I fell apart on the last 4 holes. I wasn't worried to much about my score. Vacation golf and I got to play with my son. We had fun and the course was in excellent shape. $65 for me and $25 for my boy for golf next to the ocean. Can't complain about any of that.

Mattyv Awesome!!!! 🙂

Mattyv Very reasonable for Mexico golf from what I've seen. I'll have to look into that, Where'd you stay?

80 at Fox Hollow with 2 birdies. Was losing $5.00 (won one match, lost two and lost 3 greenies) until garbage time when we had two holes left and played individual one tie all tie with two of the guys getting a stroke. Pared 17 and 18 and ended up winning. Won a buck. 😎

Sneakylong Nice round, but no lunch?

Forgot. 😀 Half a toasted tuna on dry wheat toast with tomato 🍅 and 🧅, with a cup of broccoli and cheese soup. Very good.

Going to Olive Garden tonight with my golf buddies and the wives. Started to get together for dinner recently. Going with the Shrimp Scampi tonight.

My turn to pick the restaurant next month. Going with LongHorn Steakhouse.

After not playing for 3 weeks (Canada trip), my partner & I shot -10 to place 2nd in our big $$
Member-Member. DanO needs a new set of irons. Gonna get fitted and see what works best to
replace my Cally CF16's. 🤑👍🏌

I see pics of the course like that and I feel like I'm there on vacation....its just soo familiar of a feeling seeing it.

Wow, cannot even BEGIN to imagine having my wife out with anyone I golf or work at golf with. The hate she has for the sport, anyone that plays it or has anything to do with it is second to none. I just can’t imagine what they’d be like. I’m jealous that you have that.

Sneakylong

That's too bad. We had 10 at dinner last night and everyone had a great time. 99% of the conversation was non golf. Why does she hate golf so much? I have a sister in law who hates golf. It's because her parents were always away playing golf.

Guess I'm lucky too!
My wife knows jack squat about golf, but she had a great time at the PLDA last week.
She probably got more pics of Bryson than I did and thought he was a really nice young man,
especially when he started signing autograph's for everyone.
And the guys I golf with on a regular basis, she likes some of them better than I do! 😁

I think she just hates people doing things they enjoy with people they like. She just hates everyone. had to quit the gym…. I don’t even bother playing anymore. She’s even told me to take all the golf shit off my resume and linked in profile because I’m not a golf pro…. Yet it never said I was🙄… just said what I did.

That’s my life🙄

KCee

Typhoon I think she just hates people doing things they enjoy with people they like.

Sounds familiar. My wife seems to think my working 45 hours/week and sometimes commuting +8 hours/week is all the joy I need in my life. Why would I need to play golf at all? Of course she goes out with friends all the time, but mainly during the day when I'm at work so it doesn't cut into our family time 🙄

LogicalOne

Typhoon We all deserve to be happy my friend. I hope things change a bit for the better for you.

Typhoon Seriously, why are you still married?
