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...

Eguller Ever hear of the 8 shot rule ? Just curious....

I don't think so? We used to have a rule in after work league that you would pick up after 8 shots. Some of our current tournaments require you must hole out. I made an 11 on a hole once after piping a few OB. Another guy that day made a 12 and a 14 so no one noticed my 11 lol.

77 today on The Meadows. Team got 1st. A player in the group in front of us made an ace today on their 2nd hole. Our group hole-in-one self-insured pot picked up the bar tab for all 40 of us. Now we gotta pony up another $5 each to fatten the pot back up.

sdandrea1 Is the pot for the guy who made the ace, or just the drinks? Here it’s for the player, and he gets the drinks.

Today 49-48- 97.
I kinda got off to a rough start a double, and pair of single bogeys for the 1st 3 holes. Only 1 par, and 1 triple on the front. The back wasn't much better with 3 triples, 3 pars were nice. Had a good time, my 5 wood impressed the guys I was playing with. It was just reliable, and sent the ball down range nicely, nice high ball flight off the deck. Driver was ok, it got me into a little bit of trouble on a few holes. Putter was great, mostly 2 putts, with a few 3 putts and a few 1 putts tossed in for good measure.

Walterjn Walter,!you play a short course… have you tried not using driver? Don’t know how good you are with irons or hybrids but teeing off with one of those amd leaving still a short iron to the green. Might save you more strokes than you think.

Walterjn

Typhoon I have done that. Probably should try that again. Tee off with my 5 wood like I did on #16. That hole was 5 wood, 5 wood, wedge 2 putt bogey. It wasn't all trouble caused by my driver, I screwed up and hit my 7 iron fat a few times. There were a few times I pulled the wrong club for the conditions and fell short.
My driver did leave me out of position a few times, yet I was able to advance the ball and get back into position fairly well. I'm thinking that even with my driver nor working really great, a few poor iron shots, 3 lost balls, that I walked off with 8 strokes over my absolute best round. I just need to play the bigger courses more often. The course yesterday was 6126 from the whites.

Typhoon Screw that! Pay big money for the driver I'm hitting it, score be damned

Walterjn I started out playing some nearby shorter courses using 4i off the tee, then a large 3w, then a short heavy 12* driver before using a "regular" driver. Partly to use what worked best to keep in play and then to add distance as I got older and shorter.

garyt1957 My man!! You bring the tears of happiness when you post like this. 👍👍

garyt1957 Another idea that I’ve done on short par 4’s is to hit a stinger driver. Tee it at normal height, take it halfway back and halfway through. Mid height running shot that’s dead straight. If Walter plays a flat course this would be an option. I hit it probably 20 yards shorter than an average drive

Monthly Saturday scramble at our club today. I subbed into a men's division team. We managed -9 gross, -14 with cap. 2 strokes out of the $. Lunch was included, though. 😏

What division do you usually play in? 😏

Typhoon I hit something like that yesterday. I teed it up lower than normal and one of the guys playing from the blues was only 10 yards beyond me, he flat out drove me by 20-25 yards, and mine was dead straight and a runner. I just can't always make good contact when on the course with my driver. I'm inclined to keep playing it, and just try to get used to hitting it on the course. On the range I have all the time in the world to set up perfectly and not worry about how much time I'm taking. The course kinda requires less time spent on most everything, to keep pace of play. Been told a lot, you can suck at golf, just do it quickly. No 5-10 minute set up per hit.

garyt1957

Typhoon I do that also. I'll also choke up to the end of the grip and use it on long par 3s. Trust it more than a 3 wood.

The "don't ask, don't tell " division.

77 at Timber Greens (par 71). Had 1 birdie. Made a long putt from off the green. Lag putted very well today. Typical of a high functioning hacker I didn't have my best stuff, but managed to hustle my ball around the course for a decent score.

MidwayJ

Sneakylong The word "hacker" should never even be said with the scores you shoot. 🙂

Shot 39-48/87 today with a birdie on the par 5 #9. I played about as well as I can on the front, and then the back nine was more of an adventure. Felt like I shot over 50, lol.

Walked 9 at my local course here in CT. High 40's temp starting out, windy but sunny and got in into the 50s as I moved along. Shot a 41, with two birdies despite being inconsistent with the driver. Everything else was clicking though. Nice to get out.
