How did you shoot today at Golf

I figured we could have a thread on golf rounds. I'll go 1st. Played Whirlwind Cattail course today. I was hitting the driver far. Pushing 290-300 75% of...

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.

Don't let the name fool you. I only had one 3 putt yesterday and that was on me with a poor read.

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.

You're trying too hard!! And def thinking too much. 👍😉

Let be, what will be.
The only thing you are ever going to beat/beat up, is yourself, which is what you are doing every time you are 'disappointed' with anything mid 80s. Relax, play golf. I hear it can be fun.

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 😄After being off 7+ months, let's just say I've kept the gophers at home the past 2 Sundays, with my SW.

But it seems like it is going much farther than ever!!😲

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.

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.

I've got that shot.......

rsvman2 I used to have a similar setup. I was good with short irons then.

ode I did that yesterday. He was sitting on top of the ground and I walked up behind it with the blower going. I kicked it trying to get it over the fence, it got stuck on the fence. Pretty sure something was wrong with it before I walked up.

ode They knew not to poke their heads out!!

No animals, or humans, were harmed in the playing of 18.
Twice.

Played today. Another beautiful day. Sunny and low to mid 50's.

I don't have a score as I picked up on one hole when I got to 10. I haven't had a blowup hole like that in a long time.

I had one of my best driving days in a long time, but I couldn't do anything with them. Frustrating.

I did par the last hole, a par 5, so now I'm ready for another round. 😄

We got around in 3:08, CPO, so that was good.

Ahhh golf. So I went to hit balls last Thursday and after a slow start I'm striping it. Hitting in a dome with a monitor so I can see ball flight. I'm just hitting green after green with everything even up to 3 wood. Driver is great, pitching is superb.
Fast forward to today and I start out shanking pitch shots. Same for irons. Got a little better with hybrids. WTF? I'm leaving for Az on Monday and last weeks session had me looking forward to golf. Now I'm back to not interested. My golf life sucks.

Shot 88 today in the senior golf league, good enough for 2nd place in the hackers flight. No birdies, which was disappointing because I missed a birdie on one of the par 3s after a hitting a sweet feeling TS3 PW to 5 feet. I only had one bad drive, which hit a tree and deflected into a pond, lol. That led to the only triple bogey of the day. I didn't make any long or even medium length putts, but I was getting them close. There's something to be said for low stress 2-putts.

Another discouraging day.

41-50. I just lost my swing after 8 holes. I had been playing well up till then.
8 GIRs and 37 putts.
The putter was cold but once again the biggest problem was the irons. Like @Spartan I wasted some great drives. I practiced irons yesterday with a purpose, and did great. I just couldn't repeat it today.
Our team only lost a buck per person.

Oh well, maybe we will get rained out Friday.
