Another very blah round, this time at The Oaks GC in Mississippi. Decent enough course. I shot 94. When I'm not hitting well and scoring well my short game and putting concentration go down hill. Just don't care too much so I half ass it.
How did you shoot today at Golf
Shot 43-43 yesterday at the Arizona Golf Resort. Course was a 35-37 set up. Back nine was much better but ruined by back to back doubles on 17 and 18. Also had 2 birdies on the back nine. It was raining on my way to the course but was due to end right around my tee time. Front nine was very wet and sloppy and contributed to the poor play on the front. Never played the course before and I believe this was the 80th course I have played in AZ. I am on a mission to play as many of the 300 courses in the state as possible. Had a fun day despite the weather.
Second worst score of the year, 89. Been jittery the past several days, like over-caffeinated, from meds and itβs killing my golf for the last two rounds. Aggravating. Itβs just no fun to play when Iβm like that. Iβve been through it before so I hope to get it worked out.
Played Grand Bear in Biloxi today. Absolutely perfect day. Got off to a good start bogey, par , birdie, par. Then we caught up to the 8some (yes8!). Obviously things got slow.
Until hole 7, 150 par 3, HOLE IN ONE !
Never saw it go in. Hit a decent shot, saw it on the green and thought I saw it stop. When we get to the green we can't find it. I hit a draw so thought maybe it rolled into the left bunker. My w8fe says " Maybe it's in the hole", she looks and there it is. Second one in two years after going 0 for 20 years.
Meanwhile there's now 3 groups backed up as the 8some finishes 9. I call the clubhouse and the guy says he'll talk to them. We get to 10 and the guys ahead of us haven't teed off. Look down the fairway and the 8 some hasn't split up. Now the guys behind us are seething. They call the clubhouse and a kid comes out to talk to them. Passes us and says they'll wait for you and let you play through. Of course they don't let us play through. The foursome behind us are livid. They are likely not finishing. They call again. Didn't see anybody come out but the 8 some quits after 15. Things pick up a bit and we finish in 5 hours and 10 minutes.
Congratulations, Gary! That's awesome!

garyt1957 I still say they're luck.
Of course they are. Most of us are just hoping to hit the green. The odds of finding the hole are low! I've had 4 aces and none of them were perfectly struck shots. One of them was downright shitty. I don't consider it an accomplishment as much as something that happened to me.

My one and only HIO was pured and right at the flag. I thought it was too long when I hit it. When we got to the green we found out that it went into the hole on the fly.
76 (38-38) at Heritage Harbor. No birdies. Had 14 pars and 4 bogeys. One of those days when everything performed well. Lag putted fine, but the few makeables for birdie didn't fall. Bermuda greens were slower than what we're used to.
Just two of us today. Went out at 7:07 and were done at 10:10. Just a gorgeous morning.
