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...

sdandrea1 I stopped playing in those a long time ago. Just sick of seeing the idiots from the Budweiser ' Whasssup" commercials winning because they cheated.

77 at timber Greens (37- 40). Had two birdies. Won all three matches and a greenie. Won $6.00. Breakfast for lunch. Scrambled eggs, bacon, tater tots and toast.

Chilly morning. 52 degrees when we went out at 7:30. Long pants day. Sunny and beautiful though. Tonight is our monthly dinner outing with the wives. My pick and we're going to Longhorn Steakhouse. Flo's filet for me and my wife.

I wish it was that 'hot' here. 😏

Finally played well yesterday. 39-41 on a par 71. Could have been even better if I could putt. Missed 3 good birdie putts including a 3 footer.🤬 Even with the lousy missed putts I only had 30 putts on the day thanks to 2 chip in pars. Felt great tee to green. Hopefully more rounds like that in the future.

Shot 87 (42 + 45) and 86 (40 + 46) this weekend. Both days it got cold(er) and realy windy on the back 9 and I didn't handle it well. The Raynaud's kicks in and my hands of stone become ice. Nice to still be playing in November though.

84......and it was ugly.

76 today at Rainbows End, Dunellon, FL. EASY little scoring-friendly muni. Just a 9 holer that you go 'round twice. Par 72.

How did I shoot at golf today? Terrible! No short game whatsoever.

I shot wind-blown 39-40-79 today at Bedford Hills in Temperance, MI. A nice little course that has 3 nines: Buckeye, Wolverine, and Irish (it is right on the border between Ohio and Michigan, with some holes in each state!).
This course stays open pretty much all year, so whenever all the other courses are closed, you call Bedford
Hills! A pretty good crowd out there today, but we made it around in 3 1/2 hours walking! Looking at the
long range forecast, this could be my last round of 2021 (until I get to Florida, that is!).

There is no golf in Rexville, 'til at least March.
Unless someone sends me a plane ticket. 🤔

Mattyv You forgot my address, is that why you are sad? 🤣

Just sad that there are places where golf doesn't exist year round. Can't they put a dome over the courses or something? You might want to look into getting a Halodeck or something.😁

Mattyv. Its really not too bad and might even be a good thing. A little forced break can keep the interest up. Hete in Michigan, while in the past I've played every month, usually you're going to be down Dec-March. Throw in a winter golf vacation or two and its not bad

There used to be a golf dome here in town....you hit a ball about 75-100 yards before it hit the end of the dome.
The owner (who also owned the golf course the dome sat on) had an agreement with the property owners in the
neighborhood next to the course to have it down by March 31 every year. He seemed to violate that agreement
almost every year.....don't know if it ever wound up in court. Finally, to the delight of the homeowners, the dome
developed too many leaks to repair, and he no longer puts it up.

Of course there also are a couple of those "indoor ranges" where you can "play golf" at Pebble Beach or TPC
Sawgrass, etc. by hitting into a screen with images of those courses. Not for me.....I'll go there just to hit balls
and get feedback from Trackman occasionally though.

Agree 100%....It's about time for me to rest my weary old bones and not think about golf until after Christmas.

PS....It also helps Mrs. Fatshot remember how sick she gets of me hanging around, so in the Spring SHE's ready
for me to get out and play!

Couple of friends played a Trackman round last week, on auto-putt mode; there's no good way of replicating putting that I can see unless you use a golf "studio", and even the few I've been to are sketchy.

Anyway, tied after 17, #18 both of them on green in regulation. Auto-putt holes a 23' biride for player 1, player 2 2 putts from 10' and loses match. Player 1 is still laughing ... and still waiting on player 2 paying up 🤣

My wife has me sit around the house miserable and doing nothing…. Makes her happy. Last thing she wants is me out enjoying myself.

Banged it around today. 43-49 with a 9 on the 17th hole. Need to learn how to play that hole, but it is hard to play a hole that you detest.
I'll get it one of these days. But I won't succumb to it's temptations. Mf'er. 😡

Bravopilot You look like this and we can talk

Nice pussy. 😜

Only day I'm going to be able to play this week, so I went around twice. Shot 41 both times. Had more than a few beautiful hits, hit the ball in the club's sweet spot and never felt the impact. Had one hit the green about 170 yards away and roll off the left edge. Boy that was a beautiful draw, too bad it started just barely to the right of center. For some reason playing seems to be a better lesson for swing work. The range is great, however the course is where the swing really gets tested. I realized that if I let my wrists relax in my downswing that I'll hit it fat. So I'm concentrating on keeping my wrists and elbow firmly in place. The shoulder turn is feeling a little bit more natural to me, as is the smaller lower body rotation and loading of my right foot (not sure that is the right term). I'm trying to make sure that my hips start rotating after I push off my right foot, and before my shoulders do, that still feels awkward. Hopefully I can get videos next week after I get paid and have some time.

Walterjn Yeah, keep the left arm straight.

Me too. We call those Lack-o-nooky pin settings. The greens keeper who set those pins hadn't had any in a long time and was pissed at the world. 😛
