Today was one of those days where everything went right. 33-37-70 at White Pines Golf Club in Swanton, Oh,
tying my personal best. Three birdies, one chip-in, and 24 putts, my best-ever on the greens. My only bogey
was on the 18th, the toughest hole on the course for me, and I KNEW that I needed to make par to break 70. Oh
well.....not complaining....I'll take a score like that anytime!!

    Typhoon My best rounds are when I don’t pay attention to my score

    Agree 100%....but it's hard to "UN-KNOW" after a good score on the front, etc. 😜

        I shot 37/40 for 77. On the front nine I was a Putting God. I had 13 putts. I was -1 after 7 but then three jacked #8. Back nine putting was back to normal, including 2 more three putts. I had 3 birdies overall.

        My new steel shaft irons have been amazing. I should have done this a long time ago. I’m hoping I don’t get pain at some point.

        One of my partners had an ace. He’ll win $525 from the pool.

        Took a trip to a course about an hour south of me, just outside the Outer Banks of North Carolina, for 18 holes today ('The Carolina Club'). Weather was nice, although there was a 1- to 2-club wind throughout, increasing in the afternoon.

        Anyway, I started off slowly, with bad putting and a few bad shots. Only hit three greens on the front nine and made the turn at 42.

        Played much better on the back. Hit 5 of 7 fairways and hit 7 greens en route to a 37.

        The greens were very fast and it took me about 10 holes to really get the hang of them.

        All in all, though, a great day on the links.

          fatshot I don't bother to add anything up until after my round. I do know that when I'm on a roll and having a good time, I just don't look at the card. I finish the hole, count my strokes and write it down. Then on to the next tee.

          That said, Nice round!

              Walterjn I don't bother to add anything up until after my round.

              Yeah, me too! I remember when I coached the high school golf team I had two twin brothers who would always
              add them up on the last tee, then screw up that hole b/c they were excited / nervous about what their final
              score would be! I used to harp at them all the time NOT to do that, usually to no avail. The difference yesterday
              was that I was playing way better than usual, so I couldn't help but know what I was shooting and what I needed!

              Good thing we weren't playing for money....!!! 😜

                I've played there twice over the years I lived in Hampton. The wind is ALWAYS blowing there!

                    I started playing and honed my game in that area against the ‘sharks’ when I lived in Norfolk/Virginia Beach in the early 80’s. Fun courses back then and probably still are. 🏌️‍♂️

                      Another beautiful day in Missouri. 83* when we finished. I shot 89 which is good for me. I thought about quitting after 9 because my partner invited another twosome to join us on the second hole. They were slow and and kept walking in front of me when I was trying to play. It was very distracting. It was better on the back nine, but I wouldn't want to play with them again.

                      80 at Tarpon Springs. No birdies. Typical round with driver, fairway woods and wedges shining, but the hybrids and irons acting squirrelly. Always been a decent fairway wood player and I roasted a few today.

                      Went around my little course 2x today. The 1st time I went around and ended with 3 over. The 2nd time I was doing well until the mini golf green thT is #7 kicked my ass. On in one, 6 putt for a 7... which put me at 7 over through 7. Hit a 2nd ball on 9 and played that one and ended up with another 3 over, had great company on the 2nd 9. It's all for fun...
