Bravopilot It's farther whether it goes by his drive by an inch or by 40 yards.
My post is taking this discussion further.
How did you shoot today at Golf
- Edited
76°, 30-40 mph constant wind.....who loves it?
I do. Always have liked playing in the wind.
And I now know what a 'red flag warning' from the weather service is all about, as there was one today for this area.
Had seemingly little effect on any of my drives, and only a few of Jake's boomers. Was still hitting drives past where was normal from the past couple years. A couple, longest ever on the particular holes; both allowing me to reach 2 Par 5 holes....in 2!! Eagle putts were narrow misses.
Didn't really do anything great nor bad, had 30 putts, which is over my norm. But in my defense, I was having a few GIRs. That is not normal.
I only used 2 irons today....GW & SW!! Strange.
Jake hit a couple that just were head shakers, esp. with the wind as it was. 568yd. Par 5 he was driver/mid iron to 12'(missed the eagle). Had a couple more drives over 350 also.
Great fun, great day, even if I did have to load the pockets with balls to keep upright
. Kidding aside, I was nearly blown off my feet more than a couple times.
I think the hernia removal/repair job is working, at this point.
Just can't wait for hot weather, fast/hard fws.
btw, shot the temp, Jake was @ 74. shitass.

43-41
Played Whirlwind Devils Claw today. Driver was much better, no penalties today!! Had 33 putts with the LogicalOne 3 putter for its maiden round. Best round I have had in some time and it felt like I was actually playing golf. Going rate for this course right now is $250. Thanks to my buddies buddy who gets a Tribal Discount, we paid $53 each.
81 at Timber Greens. Had two birdies (back to back). Off first at 7:00. Did the front nine in 1:40 and the back in 2:29 because they have members that go off the back and we run into them. All in all a nice morning for golf.
46/42 today. I hit the driver pretty well but my favorite shot was a three wood off the tee on #18. The hole curves left with water on the left side all the way down. I hit it really solid with a perfect draw for the shape of the hole. The higher front 9 score was mainly from butchering the 8th hole into a triple. Iron shots and putting were just OK but any score under 90 is decent for me.
I shot 40-39-79 today at Giant Oak GC in Temperance, MI. GREAT weather.....high of about 76*.....and the course was in surprisingly good shape for having just opened a week ago. Hit 6 GIR, 1 birdie, 31 putts. I didn't chip or
putt as well as I would have hoped, but still glad to be playing in shirtsleeves in Ohio in early March!
Back to reality for me.
85 with poor iron play and some other crap.
7 greens, 31 putts.
Had a triple and a double.
Our team sucked and I think we will lose our entire ante.
Bah.
Par4QC Missing multiple greens from 100 or less will do that to a guy. I did that 6! times today. Seriously. Three of them were on the fringe, but the other three were costly.
So will sending bunker shots flying over the green. Both times after missing the green with a wedge.
And I’m not pin hunting. Just can’t hit an effing short iron.
DonM I have a set of practice balls and a big yard/culdesac. Whenever weather permits bt I don't have time to play, I hit PW or GW or 9-iron into the culdesac. Over the last three years or so I have hit hundreds of shots with my short irons.
When I get on the golf course and have a short iron shot to hit, I tell myself just to hit it like i'm hitting another practice ball at the house. That gives me a lot of confidence and I tend to hit those shots quite well.
are you saying you 
'd a few
DonM And I’m not pin hunting. Just can’t hit an effing short iron.
That was me on the golf trip. I was killing the driver, but struggling to take advantage of it. Sucks to have so many wedges in and you can't hit a green. Short irons and wedges used to be my strength, but I feel more confident with hybrid into a green these days.....at least the expectations are lower then.
