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.

Beautiful cloudy cool day. I shot an 82 that felt a lot worse. One birdie and one double. 11 greens but 38 putts. I couldn’t make anything. 🤢🤢🤮

Our team got our butts kicked. It looks like we lost the full ante of 10 bucks each.

The counter weighted SS (Swing Science) irons are awesome. Seriously. I’m going to have to try it in the hybrids next. Plus, the SS irons spin a lot more than my TS2s. It’s night and day. I am convinced I need very low COG irons. The TS2s are not that. Or maybe it’s the spring face thing that is making less spin.

After a long good run that saw my handicap drop 3 points since late August, In a little funk past week or so. Hit some good shots today particularly on the back where I hit 8/9 greens in reg but could not get any putts to drop

42/40

Just catching up on some pots. I have been very busy lately. This gets my vote for post of the year. Happy belated birthday, hope the pacer is working well and nice round!

    Played on Friday the 13th. The wife and I took a long weekend trip to Laughlin. I got to play one of my favorite courses and the wife got 3.5hrs in the spa at the course.

    Shot 46/42 at Laughlin Ranch. Wind was blowing a steady 20mph for most of the round.
    No birdies but I hit 8/14 fairways in that wind. Only 2 girs and 30 putts on pretty slow greens. Green cost me a couple of strokes but the course was coming off of overseed. Played with 2 course employees and a member. I was consistently out diving them even though my tees were a good 1000 yards longer. They got a kick out of watching it. I played from 6550 with a 71.4/137 rating. Really fun day and the old timers were great to play with.

    Lunch and a beer with the wife on the clubhouse patio capped off a great day.

    I shot 38-39-77 at Bedford Hills GC in Temperance, MI today. 7 GIR, 30 putts, 2 birdies, including a chip-in. Just a perfect fall day, sunny with temps in the low 70's!!! We have about 2 more days of this weather in store, and then the shit's gonna hit the fan. Low 40's, rain and wind in the forecast all next week.....

    SWMBO and I teamed up with another couple for our annual Guys& Gals scramble. Our gross 66 won Low Gross!

      Beautiful day in Mi, my car said 81*? Shot 43-43-86 at a really nice course, Cherry Creek. Two way miss off the tee cost me early on then got that straightened out but just didn't make a putt all day. One birdie, three 7s killed my round.

      43/40-83. I played a new course today. I have been driving by it for years, today I got to play it. It is a par 66 course with 10 par 4's, 7 par 3's, and 1 par 5. I got 10 bogeys, 3 doubles, 1 triple, 1 par, and 2 birdies!! I was a few inches from making the green in 2 on the par 5, granted it was only 450 yards, I made birdie on that one. I started off the round with 3 bogeys. My playing partner I was paired up with was a Persian singer, who moved here 6 years ago. He's a pretty cool guy, he was constantly out driving me, my short game was better. He started last year, so he's got time, like I do. On the back 9 we got a 3rd added to our group. Turns out he's from aspen and here for another month, then he's heading back there to ski during the day, and play music at night. He went 9 over for the 18. It was a great afternoon!!

        Walterjn Great round Walter! Nice job avoiding the big numbers.. not one triple and 3 doubles over 18!! Sometimes a different course gels you focus better. Nice!

        Walterjn a Persian singer,

        Is that a person who sings Persian music or a person from Persia who sings? Is Persia still a place? Ponderous.......

          sdandrea1 this guy sings Persian music, and from what I understand, Persia is now Iran. He said he was there up until about 6 years ago. The government there had him thrown in prison for at least one of his songs.
          So I think both in this case...

          Shot 91 in the senior golf league (par 70). No birdies, so the streak of skins ended at three. Couldn't adjust to slow greens today after playing on fast greens the prior two rounds. I 3-putted 4 of 5 GIRs.

          The positive was no blowup holes. Nothing on the card worse than a double bogey. Again thanks to my handicap I sneaked into the money with 5th place in my flight.

          Five GIRs
          38 putts 😕

            Improbable Chip in birdie on the first set the tone for a good start....but tripled the par 5 , 9th from 50 yards out ( bunker Hell ) for a plus 4 , 40 front. birdies on 10 and 17 mixed in with a double on 16 and a couple 3 putt bogeys for 38 back.

            A lot of coulda shoulda woulda but can't complain, plus wRm enough for wearing shorts in late October here is a bonus

              Thanks!

              Pacemaker is doing it's job! Don't even know it is there.

              That putter needs a timeout. Or at least a good threatening. Mine has been on good behavior all summer. We will see how it performs on the winter grass. Way to keep the blowup hole off the card.
