DonM Can't lie.....they are usually from the course's website. I'm usually worthless at posting pics !!

    Shot 38/40/78 today. Last three rounds have been 79-85-78, the oldman having fun. Todays round was strange. We have 10 par 4's on our course. I had 10 fours on my round, 2 bogies on par 3's and a birdie on a par 5. So I had 7 out of 10 pars on the par 4 holes. Pretty sure I have never done that before.
    Strange lovable game.

      That is correct Don. Obviously you missed my post a week ago titled "Finally".

          FauxAmish No, I didn't, I was just making sure to bring it up again. 🙂
          Congrats. Now that you've repeated the performance, what has improved?

              I concentrated at the start of the season working more on putting and chipping. I think it has progressed to my entire game. I didn't play well in Arrizona, but I attribute that to playing on Bermuda and not having that ability on a normal basis.
              Another is that I just got a couple of pairs of new sunglasses that have a blue lens tint, and I am seeing the ball in the air better.

                Played yesterday with BIL and Nephew. It was hot and slow. We were behind a little outing , maybe 3 4somes so we couldn't play through. We quit actual playing around the 15th hole. We always play $1 closest to the green on par 3's so we just started playing the remaining holes as par 3's. We'd pick a distance in the fairway and tee off from there. Then go back and do it again because we had nowhere to go and luckily the guys behind us were slow as shit too. I won $4, woo hoo.

                Solid front nine of even par 36 ( bogey 7 , birdie 9)

                Was -1 after 12 sitting pretty in the fairway and made double , then another double on 16. Both when my cut 7iron didn't cut and went long left.

                Ended with a 4/over 76 so a good day

                It wasn't a beautiful day in Missouri. Overcast and occasional spitting rain until the last hole where it was actually raining. Temps were in the 70's so that was good.

                As well as I putted last week, today was the opposite, two three putts in the first three holes and the two putt was after starting on the fringe so it felt like three putts. I was doing okay until the 10th hole when the wheels came off for 4 holes, I couldn't do anything. But I figured it out and played decent the last 5 holes. 47/49. 11/14 FW, 37 putts. 😞

                Shot 93 in the senior golf league, which thanks to my handicap was good enough for 4th place in my flight. It was a mixed bag. A birdie #18 won me a $155 skin (only two skins so we split the pot). I've had great luck with skins the last 2 weeks. 😁 Three triple bogeys ruined what began as a nice round over the first 8 holes.

                  DonM I have a new idea about what’s wrong with my irons.
                  It’s my swing.

                  Pump the brakes there fella! That kind of talk puts people out of business! 🤣

                    We had 8 guys go out from work this afternoon. It was 85 here in central PA - probably the last gasp of summer. We had a 2 team match (4 per team) going. Basically everyone played their own ball the whole time but we calculated 2 man and 4 man best balls for front, back, and total and each person had a one on one match play for front, back, total. We played off the lowest guy’s HC (6) so at a 24 myself, I got a stroke every hole. The other guys ranged from a 9 to 19 so they got less. A bit too complex and exotic for my taste but I’m told we won.

                    I shot 113 overall but it was a bogey and snowman kind of day. Mixed in a par on each 9. My driving was insane. I played with the 6 HC who is regarded as a bomber and I out did him by 15-20 most holes. I pushed one drive right and OB and one found the creek at 295 but everything else was playable and long. I hit the new Adams 18* VERY well. 220-230ish. I can’t see myself using a 3W much. I was magic out of the sand. My Ping Glide 3.0 Eye2 grind is a cheat code. Got two gimmes out of green side bunkers. I can also flop that thing really well and had some great ones from tough spots today.

                    Everything else was 🐶 💩(see 113 above!). My irons were thin city! I had an 8 and a 7 on par 3s. My putting was also mostly rubbish. Greens were lightning and I had no feel for anything over 15 feet. Either smashed it waaay past or left it waaaaay short. I need to learn to lag!

                    I shot 82 (40/42) today with no birdies and 2 double bogeys.

                    29 putts
                    12 fairways
                    6 GIR.

                    I shot 40-38-78 today at the old home course, Chippewa Golf Club in Curtice, OH. Missed every makeable putt on the front nine, but made EVERYTHING on the back nine! Hit only 5 GIR, no birdies, 6/10 up and down, 30 putts.

                    84 at Tarpon Springs. Had one birdie. Irons continue to suck. Driver and wedges continue to shine. Everything else in between is fine except the 7, 8 and 9 iron. They just refuse to cooperate.😏

                      Snuck out for 9 on a cloudy, rainy day. Have a skins game Saturday so wanted to get some swings in. Boy did I! Ended up playing 36 holes! (In 3 hours). Got poured on a bit, majority of the time it was quite nice. Shot 40-40-80 and 41-41-82, consistent I guess. Only missed one FW on the first round. One birdie on the day. Hdcp dropped to 11.6

                      First time hitting a ball yesterday after 12 weeks off due to receiving a pacemaker.

                      Bogey or slightly better golf until 3 consecutive birdies on the back nine. Putts of 5 , 15, and 1.5 feet. A new course to us so all were due to lucky guesses on yardage, a lucky guess on a blind driving hole and a fortunate kick toward the pin on a sloping green.

                      44-39= 83 for my 70th birthday round.

                      Been scoring + - 90 all season.

                      I want to extend my sincere thanks to my driver for showing up yesterday.
