rsvman2 I glanced over at the barrel and what did I find? A 9-degree SMT Nemesis on a Graffaloy ProLaunch Blue regular flex. Well, for $25 I had to buy it, right?

So proud of you Randall.

    fatshot Yeah.....I'm 78, so I beat my age by a lot this time!

    Didn't realize you were 78. Shooting your age is commonplace for you.

      Typhoon yes.....often mind is on other things and just playing naturally....also tend to play my best in really tough conditions, like today when it was windy as hell out. Forced to swing easy and play conservative, lower shots with taking more club....not expecting to do much and boom.

          ode I have also found that sometimes i play better when it is quite windy.

            Indoor round tonite on Spanish Bay. It’s funny to say when playing on a Sim but the greens were brutal. Came in at -6

            Typhoon you ever get out this way, I'd love to hear how easy you find my little course, especially the green on #7. 😊

                Cool, breezy, and soft today. 78 with 30 putts. No 3 putts. 7 GIRs, no birdies, one double. Our team got skunked. In fact none of the four of us made a birdie.

                Played a scramble event yesterday at Whirlwind golf course. Team went 29-33. Good enough for a T5. This was one of my favorite scrambles I have ever played. No mulligans and no absurd charity booths asking for $100 to hit the ball on the green or have a pro hit your shot. Just straight up golf as a team. Front nine was 3 pars, 5 birds and an eagle. We could only muster 3 birds on the back nine. Everyone on our team contributed. 5th out of 36 teams wasn't bad for not having a ringer. Bonus of the day was being in group 1A!

                82 at The Eagles Forest Course. No bridies. Hit a couple real squirrely shots early on, but hit some nice shots after that. The greens are Bermuda and not in great shape. Kind of bumpy.

                Only two of us this morning. We teed off at 7:04 and were done at 10:13. Nice morning, a little breezy but nice. We used our free round that we got with our new winter Paradise Golf package.

                Shot 52/42 this morning. The first 6 holes were so bad it was almost comical. I was pretty happy with the back 9 where I had 4 GIRs. No birdies, though, and I missed a par save on #18 after flopping a shot over a sand trap to 3 feet.

                Played a course yesterday in Tucson called Quarry Pines. Shot a 44-43 on one of the tightest courses I have seen in AZ. Front nine Played flat and through a neighborhood. Fairways were probably averaging 20 yards wide. Back nine Played around a reclaimed rock quarry and was even less forgiving. I had 7 unplayable lies and 6 were from the tee. My iron and wedge play were decent and I only had 28 putts. This is a course I need to play again now that I know the layout. My driver will not make as many appearances next time I play the course.

                  Mattyv Is that the one that is right along the west side of the 10, on the north edge of town?

                      42/37 for 79. I was 7 over after 5 holes, and played the rest of the round in even par. One triple and two birdies. Both of the birdies were net eagles in the money game. 8 GIR and 30 putts. I missed some sweet birdie looks inside 15 feet. The steel shafted STi irons are really working great. I feel very confident now when I have a 7 iron or less into a green. Especially the wedges. I'm starting to get good at knocking them down, taking more club and hitting a softer shot, etc. Those shots were impossible for me with the 65 gram graphites.

                      Our team did pretty well, which was a surprise to all four of us.

                        Mattyv No, I never got there. Drove past it a lot. Those homes must get shelled.
