How did you shoot today at Golf
42-44 today at Encanto 18 close to downtown Phoenix. About as flat of a course in the history of courses. Made for an easy walk in beautiful 72° sunny weather. No birdies a couple of others but mostly pars and bogeys. I did try out a different driver today. Big Bang 450 10° with DTG FGS Tour shaft. I didn't hit many fairways but it was a consistent miss just to the right. Had good distance and I really like the way it felt. Thanks @Sparky! I will keep it in the bag for another round at least. Leftover Thanksgiving for lunch.
79 at Heritage Harbor. One birdie. Windy and cool this morning.
Sneakylong yelled my typical "drinks!!!"
You definitely need to stop yelling this. It's got to be a jinx.
Hour and a half frost delay this morning but it was sunny and warmed up nicely to the 50s. Shot 43/43 with one birdie and zero triple bogeys. A good ball striking day for me with irons, but three 3-putts and three drives yanked left into trouble kept me from scoring better. Super nice weather to play in!
Played yesterday. The new Wilson D9 irons finally clicked (12 greens hit, and only 1 miss was a D9, and that was the first hole which flew right over the pin and long). The driver was back after a bad round (12/14 fairways). Of course, the golf gods had their ways, and no putts went in at all.
Another beautiful day in St. Louis (for late November. About 44* at tee off, 55* on the 18th green. And Sunny.
The round was meh. The driver was good for the first 14 holes but was terrible after that. My lag putting, which normally decent wasn't today. 4 3 putts. Everything was short. 3 lost balls didn't help. 47/46, so not out of my normal range.
Even though it was CPO, we got around in about 3:15, so that was good.
Shot 46/43 today in the senior league, which was a net 72 and 5th in my flight. No birdies, but some solid stress free pars to offset the doubles and one triple. To my surprise, I won a $50 skin with a par (net birdie) on one of the par 5s. Usually net birdies are only good enough to prevent someone else from getting a skin, but the hole was playing long into the wind. No one birdied it and nobody else with a stroke parred it.
I had a rough 85. 35 putts with the armlock putter. Strangely for an alternative putting style, my lag putting is awesome. But I am not making anything in the birdie range. The greens are just about dormant, and they are FAST. Downhill putts are like glass. That’s where some of my 35 came from.
I had 9 GIRs but it sure didn’t feel like it. It’s been a rough stretch lately.
