How did you shoot today at Golf
Just got back from the Ocean City MD golf trip. We played Baywood Greens on the way down, then Lighthouse Sound, Rum Pointe and Heritage Shores. All very nice courses, the only negatives were that 2 had recently aerated the greens and it was crazy windy (which also made it really cold) every day.
I shot a lousy 93 every round and finished 1st, 2nd, 1st and 1st in our daily matches lol. I felt like I should have shot 83 every day, but just couldn't do it.....luckily for me everyone struggled as much or worse. I also lucked out partner-wise each day as my partners had their best rounds with me. Some great zigging and zagging too as I was pretty consistently making a par and then a double, but the pars were at the right times.
I had fun, but I may pass on the trip next year. I was wearing winter mittens with hand warmers in between every shot and a winter knit hat most of the time. The cold winds off the water were just brutal for someone with Raynauds and 4 rounds in the same conditions were uncomfortable. I have definitely become a fair weather golfer in my old age.
- Didn't shoot my age, but I did shoot the temperature.
I shot 38-38-76 today at Eagles Landing GC in Oregon, Ohio. Two birdies, 11 GIR, 33 putts. A little cool
when we started, but then the course is right across the street from Lake Erie, and it warmed up to almost
60* when we finished. Beautiful fall day with almost no wind.....
garyt1957 The drive is long enough and last year we lucked out with warmer weather for all but the last day. We hit Florida in the winter. The OC trip came about when 2 guys found some great deals on hotel and golf. I loved last year, but this year a bit sick of being cold. Of course I always say I'm quitting golf all together and keep playing so.....
garyt1957 I would imagine it's REALLY busy there in the summer. I would certainly prefer the weather though. A few of us were thinking of doing a shorter trip in May before it gets busy but hopefully with nicer weather. There are some very nice courses and very different from what I normally play which is cool.
Another beautiful day in Missouri. 50* at tee time, 70* when we finished. The front nine started out well with two pars and then fell apart. The back nine started out poorly, losing 2 balls on number 10 but got better after that. Ended up with 50/45. A little worse than average but still within a normal range.
It was CPO (which it will be until April 1) but we got around in about 3:45.
Chic-Fil-A for lunch.
85 with 32 putts this afternoon. Only 4 GIR. I missed a lot of greens by just a few feet and then chipped and putted poorly. I hit the ball pretty well and it felt like my score could not hardly have been worse.
Chick-Fil-A for supper! 
Sloppy short game led to an 84 (12 strokes higher than last Friday). Putting was horrible.
I missed my quota by 5 but my teammates carried me. We got first $8 each.

Played Rock Creek in Mobile Alabama. Pretty nice course. They had just replaced the back 9 greens, so front 9 greens were slow and back were fast.
Thank God we played alone. I hit 5 (five!) balls off the first tee and not one got airborne! Played the first 7-8 holes like that. 100 yard grounder off the tee, 100 yard grounder second shot, third on the green, two putt for bogey or three putt for double. Talk about no fun. Just couldn't figure it out.
Finally was able to get it airborne on the back nine. Shot 47-44 -91. Ug-lee
Played yesterday. My driver, which has been solid for 6 months, suddenly went completely AWOL. Luckily, this was the first time on this course that I moved up from the back tees, and I was able to get away with 4-5 150 yard pop up drives. The new Wilson D9 forged irons, with the first serious attempt to return to steel shafts in 10+ years, continues to go well. Driver sucked. Missed several putts I should have made, but I did make a few. Good chipping was a surprise. Still managed a 77 somehow - despite the awful driving I never got in any real trouble.
