How did you shoot today at Golf

Mattyv I'm in Vegas right now and it's been beautiful. 10 * warmer than normal. We didn't bring our clubs this time because it was supposed to be colder and I'm golfer out. Sometimes I think the forced break is a good thing

I can relate to the forced break. Where I live in Canada we have a forced break every year from November to March. Except for the golf game and simulators which I'll hit two or three times a month starting in January.

I agree. I don't mind not playing for a couple of months, but I hate when I have to go 4-5 months not playing.

KCee I agree. I don't mind not playing for a few days.

Fixed it

I always liked the break because I could focus on just hitting balls, or working on speed without the worry of it affecting my game the next day. Now… I don’t play at all and don’t miss it one bit.

Typhoon methinks we need to get you playing again, and more often!!!

Typhoon I could focus on just hitting balls

This seems to work well for me. Many times just hitting balls into my net seems to improve my swing. I don't worry about where the ball is going or how far I just try to make good swings with good contact. Last week I used the net Fri night and then for 10 minutes Sat morning and hit the ball great that day.....of course my short game sucked, but whatever.

KCee Put a piece of masking tape on the face to see how you’re doing

Typhoon I use foot spray sometimes. I do have a PRGR SS monitor, but I don't use it much. I was thinking of getting a decent launch monitor mainly for winter use, but I don't like spending too much time in a cold garage lol.

Shot 92 today in the North TX senior league. I was hitting the driver pretty well but couldn't do much of anything else. It's frustrating when the driver swing works and the iron swing doesn't.

Today I combined some bad full swings from Sunday with bad short game and putting from Monday. I’m lucky to have shot 87. It felt so crummy. 5 GIR and 35 putts. The greens are getting so fast, probably 12 on a stimp meter. No exaggeration. Our C and D players were blowing everything way past all day. My short sided recoveries and sand shots were just awful. We lost our entire entry fee, which is real hard to do because we pay 4 places out of 7 for first six holes, second six, third six, all eighteen, and trash (greenies, birdies, and sandies). So we couldn’t even muster 4th place in any of those. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Oh, and just when the bunkers were finally down to a good amount of sand, they filled the fucking things up again. I’ve never played at a place that wanted so much sand in the bunkers. And it’s not nice sand. It’s heavy.

I’m canceling for Friday. I need a mental health break.

Oh, and I missed another 2 foot putt today.

Typhoon I find it easy and it just wipes off the club. It does get on my mat at times, but I don't care and it does hose off easily enough. The tape is certainly neater, but I find that more annoying to use. When I go to the actual driving range I don't use anything.

The greens have been getting a lot faster on most of the DFW courses we've played lately. In last week's tournament and yesterday, there was one pin placement that warranted a windmill on the green. I'm one of those C or D players and I figure I've benefitted from blowing fewer putts past the hole than others in my flight.

Another beautiful day in St. Louis. 67 degrees when we finished. Struggled to start out, but things got better later with a 48/44 which is pretty much my average.

We played the front 9 in about 1:45 but the back nine took over 2 hours. The group in front of us spent too much time looking for balls. They had two groups waiting on the 16th tee.

50/54-104...
Not my best round. One of my better driving rounds. Only had issues on #7, 11, 13, 15, most of that was all me. #7 I teed the ball too high and pop fly to the very beginning of the fairway. #11 put one in the drink, 2nd ball was in the rough on the other side of the fairway. #13, put one ob left, 2nd got wet. #15, beautiful high slice onto the practice green, good thing nobody was there...
It was a windy day today. Not sure what the gusts got up to, but downwind holes were fun, into the wind holes sucked unless you could keep it low...
Hole 18 was downwind, 354 according to the card. After my drive, I was left with maybe 60 yards to the green.
Today was enjoyable. 3 one putts, and 2 three putts. Everything else was a nice 2 putt. Maybe it wasn't a 2 putt par, probably a bogey. I did open with a nice 2 putt par on #1, after that it was kinda downhill from there...

I did play again this past weekend. Probably should have skipped it. It was supposed to be low 50's, but sun went in before we teed off and never came back out; felt like 40* with the cold breeze. Was also a shotgun start with 2 groups on most holes and it took +5 hours waiting on every hole.

I was killing the driver again, but struggled to a 90 with poor irons and the pins tucked on slopes. My game has completely flipped as I've picked up 20-30 yards on drives (that go straight!), but can't hit an iron or wedge.
