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...

Not that I played today, but a trend I noticed a while back that finally caught up with me.
I could almost call in my game from bed - "mark me down for an 86 boys!" - and stay home. While not a terrible score, its a rather lackluster one to trend on. Here it was...

86, 86, 86, 86, 88, 87, 86, 86, 85, 86, 89.

Its now knocked off all of my 'good' scores and my handicap jumped. So its accurate, but still disheartening. 🙁
UGH.

hobbit I was stuck on 84 for about two years. No matter what! So if I shot 38 on the front I wold shoot 46 on the back, and if I started with 45 I would shoot 39 on the back.
I would come home from playing and my sons would say 'Lemme guess, you shot 84.'
I wish I would've kept track of how many 84's in a row I shot. Eventually I broke the cycle.

Monday morning golf group - I went from the Penthouse (was low scratch 2 - 3 times this year) to the Outhouse by posting an 85 for the high score. Very few pure solid strikes with the irons in my hands. Mediocre putting. It could have been really ugly if I wasn't straight and average distance for me off the tee consistently all day.

I'll keep on playing in our Chamber of Commerce beautiful weather for a few more weeks. There's no way I'm going into hibernation with bad play on the mind all winter.

I shot 41-39-80 today. My back and neck were stiff and sore all the way around, and I felt that my range of motion was very poor.....like the geezer I'm getting to be, you might say. I made all the deadly sins today: 1 penalty stroke, a 3 putt green, and a double bogey. I did manage one birdie, but not much else to write home about. Played a nice course in good condition though.....a course called White Pines in Swanton, Ohio.

garyt1957 HaHa shot 100 on a course I would usually be disappointed to shoot 85.

One of members walked in after 4 holes yesterday. I thought something was wrong. He said he just hit it all over the place, was awful, just decided he had enough. He said the final blow was he had 170 over a little pond and was hitting his irons so bad he didn’t want to go for it with his 7 iron so he figured he’d go sw-sw instead. He bladed the first sw and chunked the next one in the pond.

I'd be hitting driver..........and hoping.

If I walked in every time I butchered the 1st few holes, I'd never get 18 in.

Went around twice yesterday. First time, I was put on standby for a trip to the vet while on hole 4. Got told that the trip to the vet was a go on 6. Caught up with the two groups ahead of me on 8, so I headed out to deal with the horse. Shot a 26 on those 7 holes.
When I was able to get back and go around again, putter seemed to be on fire, I was sinking almost everything, on 4 I drained a 10-13' putt with a right to left break for par. # 6 was 15-20' r-l break sank for par. I was scoring 4's across the course, until 9 when I just couldn't hit shit, not even my wedges. 5 iron off the tee it went 170 yards right up to the fence surrounding the putting green, bladed a wedge over the green, almost did the same thing going back the other way but got on the green. Then I 4 putted for a 7. Got a 39, not unhappy with that, I was extremely consistent through the first 8 on that second time around

Walterjn Sounds the Walter-Speed Stick is working, good for you

Shot a 79 on a very easy course. 66.7/107 5763 yards par 71from the tips. At least I hit a few good shots and did hit 13 of 13 fairways on a not that wide open course. But driving hasn't been my problem. My only thought was to get to a full finish. Still lots of weak spots in my game , but a little light at the end of the tunnel before we head to Vegas and Utah for some serious golf.

If nothing else he will gain by getting a bigger turn and follow through

77 at Timber Greens. Had one birdie. Won one match and tied the other two. Lost three greenies. Overall lost a buck. Cup of seafood gumbo and a half tuna sandwich for lunch. Beautiful day.

83 today in our Thursday skins game. Different mentality in this format. Gotta make birdies. All my potential skins were matched, unfortunately.

Sarnella

Personal best on my easy course, 39 - 36 = 75. One 125 yard 9 iron
second shot in the hole for an eagle and 1 birdie. Two more pars I
would have shot my age.

Sarnella Congratulations!! That kind of round doesn't happen often enough for most of us,
but they're sure nice when they do...!!! (P.S. Congrats on the Eagle too!)

rsvman2

Sarnella Awesome round and a great eagle, too! Congratulations.

Played 9 holes on Monday since we had the day off for the last day of fall break. Course was busy since it was $20 Monday, pretty much unlimited golf for $20 with cart. Seeing as I hadn't played in a couple months, I didn't feel like fighting the crowds as a single so only went out for 9.

At the driving range I was hitting irons off the mat really straight, even the driver was going in pretty much the direction I was pointing. I only hit half a bucket before I decided not to push my luck and hit the first tee. First tee shot was straight and right in the middle of the fairway with my trusty Jackaroo II 18° hybrid. Of course I proceeded to blade a SW from 80 out......I continued a pretty good day of golf with a few random terrible shots I chalk up to the layoff. Over all I had 4 pars 3 bogeys and a couple others.......

What it did do though is reignite the golf fire I really haven't had recently. I typically decide to go fishing when I have free time, but I will probably try to carve out some more golf time before it starts getting dark at 5pm.....

Me and 3 old friends took on 18 today. At start, it was only 49*, which is the lowest temp I've ever played in, but they insisted. Luckily, very low wind & it did warm up to 54 before we got done. Thanks to these 3 old friends, I carded a nice 1 over, 73. Had some really long drives, a couple the longest of the season(on those holes), and only missed 2 fws. Only 1 birdie, 2 bogies.

I did snap a couple pics of the fellas......

The old guy in the middle, 1st pic, was almost missing a limb when I discovered him hiding last night. A bit of doctoring up, and he was good as ...well, as good as he was 15 yrs. ago, when purchased for $1, no tax. Found the iron heads while digging thru some boxes last week and have played them(7-PW) the last 5 rounds, with great success. Fall is my 'silly season' and it is fun.👍
