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...

Typhoon OMG Power 90!!! How old is that??

LOL! They revised it a while back; I have the newer version. It's more boring than the P90X stuff, but simpler and probably a good starting point.

I liked P90X, but it can be long. P90X2 is stupid doing pushups on slam balls. To me P90X3 was the best as it had variety, Easy, Medium and Hard levels and it's 30 minutes. I haven't done 90 days of it in years, but I still do some of the workouts.

KCee I think I sold you the P90X discs maybe. Doing push-ups on slam balls is for core stability so it’s actually good for you. I have a video of me at the gym doing med ball push-ups …. One med ball under each hand and one under each foot

Well you're a Crossfit nut. I just do regular pushups. Sometimes I elevate my feet, but the X2 stuff is just asking for me to hurt my shoulder again. Yesterday for me was 12 sets of 5 chinups, 10 pushups and 15 squats along with a fast 15 minutes on the elliptical. It's not P90X, but better than nothing.

I think that is one of the CrossFit workouts, just can’t remember the name. I think it was 20 minutes total rounds. My best was 27.

I shot 37-38-75 @ Detwiler Park in Toledo today. The course was still damp from all the rain we had this weekend,
but luckily, they had mowed the greens, which made it playable. Played the senior tees, as usual, and even without
the roll, it was doable. Our Tuesday group is basically done for the season, so just the diehards are playing now.....our threesome shot 75-75-77 in 50 degree temps. I should add though that we had to play the front nine twice (they were plugging the greens on the back nine today), making par only 70 for the round. We're fast reaching the point where each round could be our last for the season though.....😞

Shot 80 today and my partner shot 82 in our final Ryder Cup match. Our format was best net ball of the 2-some for 18 holes. We lost the back but won the front, and lost the overall 11 to 9. Each hole was worth a point and each 9hole match was worth a point , so 20 points available. I got 12 shots (full index) and partner got 9. The guys we played were getting 12 and 16 and they shot 75 and 81. The 16 capper kept throwing pars at us.

sdandrea1 The 16 capper 🙄🤔 kept throwing pars at us.

Fixed it for you.

Eguller Fixed it for you.

I mentioned his name a the after-round drinks and one our club members says the 16 capper shoots in the mid 70s "all the time". 🤪

That was my point - we've got more than one of them also.

One of our guys lost in yesterday's flight to a 20 handicapper who carded 76. That entire group needs an audit.

As this year started, the new handicap system knocked down our memberships handicaps about 1/2.
Most could not believe it. But it did work to even the playing field for the low hdcp -> high one. 😉

I've checked the system on a few guys and found that several have not entered a score in months or even years. 25 to 27 cappers.

Eguller

sdandrea1 several have not entered a score in months or even years.

Our club requires at least 5 home scores and 10 total to play in the Member-Member. They
try their best to level the field but it is an uphill battle. Sandbaggers are well known.

sdandrea1. seems like it should have to be more recent then that to count for anything official

This is all unofficial. We're not club-sponsored groups. Self-organized clubs of 70 (ish) members.

garyt1957

sdandrea1 still official enough to not let a guy play with a handicap that old.

We had a problem in our league this year too. So, a few of us are going to take it over and run it by committee. I'm in charge of the handicap committee and I'll get a couple of other guys to enter the scores after EVERY league round with me next season. Between league scores and then what they play, and post, on a casual Saturday morning is the difference between a club champion contender and Joe Hack.

League scores are the only scores we use in our leagues for handicapping, tends to weed out the sandbaggers.

Its a shame you have guys out there who will cheat at a stupid game.

Sad to hear it happens everywhere. Our handicap committee had to go after some members this year.

Typhoon Yes I can't remember, maybe the Cindy? I do this workout every so often, but I usually just do 10 sets of it and then some cardio.

Even when I was "in shape" I'm not sure I broke 20 sets in 20 minutes. I suck at pullups, but chinups don't seem to bother my shoulder. P90X3 has a workout that's a variety of pullups and pushups for 30 minutes in sort of an EMOM. It's brutal IMO. I don't want to kill myself anymore, but just be able to walk 18 holes and hit a ball lol.

Yup Cindy… I always confuse it with Barbara.
