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.

        Then I could have played the same ball ALL DAY LONG!!! 😂 😂 😂

        garyt1957 Right after I read your post yesterday I was talking to a friend of mine who played Saturday amd said it sucked because it rained leaves all day and nobody could find a bal

          Typhoon Whiny bastage. I would have played in rain and leaves rather than the Friday and Saturday I had.

          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.

              Weirfan 36* F, a 2 club wind ....lets play golf !

              Nice playing in those conditions!! We're playing tomorrow in low 40's temps 😞.....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.

                Not my favourite conditions by any means but our season is rapidly coming to an end so any day that I am not working and the temps are above freezing is in play now.

                MidwayJ Ever play Oakmont? We are thinking of moving over by there. In which case I need to find a new club. Also looked at lantana.

                  No. I've played very few private courses. The NTSGA rotates each week to various public courses in DFW.
