44-41-85 at The Club at Westminster in Fort Myers. I am such a hack. Lost 2 club lengths off all clubs. But I'm still hitting them pretty straight so how can you misfit it that bad that you lose that much distance but still hit it straight?. Such is my golf life.

    Eguller costs at least 1 club

    garyt1957 good point but I'm still one club shorter , then

    At least depending upon elevation. I spend a fair amount of time on the Southeast coast and
    always plan 'at least' one extra club, potentially more.

        Played yesterday in cold and damp. Stocking cap weather. CPO and the course was a soggy mess. Packed wet sand. I hadn’t played in 5 weeks and most of us hadn’t played in a few weeks at least.

        I shot 84 with 4 really bad holes. Sand shots sailing over the greens into bad spots, and the same for flop shots. Lot of woulda coulda shoulda in my decision making. I should have known better but I specifically practiced sand and flops before the round, and did great on both of them. Why even practice?

        9 GIR, 32 putts. Kinda humorous stroke averages:
        Par 3s: 3.50
        par 4s: 5.10
        Par 5s: 4.75

        Looking at the app today, I see the course got an overnight PCC adjustment of +2 for yesterday. (From the USGA black box algorithm.) That means yesterdays scores were pretty bad on average. It really means we played a much tougher course and/or conditions than usual. So my 84 effectively became an 82 for handicap purposes.

        Our foursome sucked the least and we were the big winners.

        I played my first round of 2024 today at a place called Zellwood Station Golf Club, north of Orlando. A hilly course, esp. for Florida, and in really nice shape. I shot 42-42-84, and was pretty happy, although I missed a couple of putts and messed up a chip or two on the #$%^&* Bermuda turf. I liked the place well enough that I'm playing there again next week! Oh yeah....$45 green fee!

        Played last Saturday at Western Skies golf course. Shot 39-46. Couldn't hold it together on the back nine due to the pace slowing to a crawl. Started out, par, par, par. Finished with 666, bogey, double, double. 4:45 to play one of the easiest courses in town.

          Mattyv Gotta love Never Ready golf. Or do all the groups stop at the turn to load up on food and beer like they’re going away for 10 days? That’s usually the problem

              Typhoon

              There are just so many people on our courses right now. They pack the courses as well.
              Saturday golf is the worst here in the winter months. To top it off, this was the cheapest regulation course close to home and my greens fee after tax was $101.🤬

                46-43 with the 20+ year old X-14’s that I have never used before…legit irons for sure.

                Obviously a bit shorter than today’s offerings but really not by all that much…and this particular head is definitely a forgiving one and does not seem chunky to play at all.

                Typhoon I don’t understand why people can’t go 4 hours between meals

                That's because you don't eat.........you don't even stop moving.

                  Typhoon I like to have a box of triscuit crackers, maybe cheese and crackers, jerky, and jellybeans, with some bottles of water, maybe mango Arizona.

                    Played 2 days ago, first time out in a couple months, picked up like I was playing in high school again, except this time I understood course management a little, cruised around to a 45 for 9. BUT that was with a triple at the last and really solid contact all day, so in my mind it felt like a 42, I’m going to mentally bank it as such. I had a really good (for me) day with 7 of 9 holes in regulation, I did however conclude either my putter got bent or I need a new one bc I can’t get that thing lined up comfortably and it’s driving me nuts.

                    I played my first round of the year today in St. Louis. A beautiful February day, 50 at tee time, mid 60's when we finished. Sunny although it did cloud up towards the end.

                    I shot 45/42 which is pretty good for me. It could have been better as I had 5-6 3 putts which isn't my norm. It was one of my better driving days and irons were mostly decent. I only had one penalty stroke and played the entire round with the same ball.

                    It was CPO so a round of about 4:10 wasn't too bad. We did wait a fair amount.
