How did you shoot today at Golf
Quick nine this morning, CPO and muddy. I wore black shoes and socks for Mike. @SMT
I used an armlock putter without any real practice time to get used to it. I didn’t do very well with it. But I chipped well. Maybe I need a putter that you hit with a chipping stroke.
Anyway 42, 16 putts. 3 greens, and I 3-putted two of them. Bah.
Got out for nine at the local muni today. Good weather except for a gusty breeze. Bookend birdies ware the highlight. Missed two 4-6 foot putts because I didnt hit them hard enough (didn't leave them short, but missed them both low). Had ona blow-up hole, with a water ball and a two-chip, leading to a triple.
Despite that hole and the missed short putts, I managed a 41.
Mostly the round was disappointing, but the way I birdied the last hole was so fun it made me forget a lot of the other issues.

Another incredible Mi day. Wore shorts on October 27th! I shot 42-44-86 but actually hit the ball really well except for wedges for some reason. 3 times on Par 5's I had wedge in hand for my third shot and lined them all over the green, and over the green is pretty much dead. Cost me 4-5 shots easy. Not sure what that was all about.
I think we're kinda done for playing for score. Greens are getting a bit rough and all the leaves are impossible to putt through.
garyt1957 Went out for a quick round yesterday around 2pm. Between the sun and leaves it was nearly impossible to play. I lost every ball I hit on the first 3 holes that didnt land on the green and only one wasn't in the fairway. Think I lost 8 balls in 3 holes. Wasn't just me , looked around and all you saw were carts circling. I didn't have the time or patience for that so I quit. Played a couple more holes just dropping balls at various distances and hitting into greens. Even a ball just off the green was hard to find. Packed it up after 40 minutes and went home.

85 at Timber Greens. Stunk it up on the front with a 46, but came to life on the back with a 39. Probably the worst front nine I've ever had at Timber Greens.
One of my buddies had a chance to break 80 today, but shot an 82 instead. He had 3 birdies which is a lot for him. So we were rooting for him.
39* F plus a 20mph wind and some drizzle and wet flurries. Did I play, F yeah.....even played the deeper tees at 6650.
43/39
Ball was not going far. Eg: par 3 , 4th hole plays a bit down hill but today into the fan.
@167 yards would normally be a 6 or 7iron with the 10% elevation, today nutted a 3 iron ( my usual 190-200 club) and came up 20 yards short lol
Typhoon This time of year you play the shit balls you have in a shag bag
These were all found balls, so no big deal on the loss but it's just no fun if you literally never find a ball. I should have taken a picture, on a lot of holes the fairway was clear as could be until 200 yards out then the leaves started and went to about 250. Then a little clearing and the greens were covered. It looked like they dumped all the leaves right where 90% of the people would drive the ball.
36* F, a 2 club wind ....lets play golf !
3 of the staff ventured out just before lunch. Definitely a cool, Fall day, even a few snow flakes flew but mostly sunny and a great day for golf.
Started on the back to avoid a couple of groups of walkers who just teed off.
41/40 and played in under 3 hours
Shot 48/52 in the senior golf association tournament. It was 31* when we teed off but it can't be an excuse. It had warmed up to the 50s when I went 12 over par on the last 4 holes. 
Glad I'm not playing next week.
.....not exactly "my cup of tea" at my age, but I'm not ready to quit for the season, so we'll see how it goes.
