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.

    DonM Back to reality for me.

    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.

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

                      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.

                          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.

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

                                  Played a two-man indoor scramble today with three teams . We played Arnies Bay Hill course in honor of this weekends tournanent. My partner and I were 3 over on the front side.
                                  We were still doing fine on the back when we took a 9 on a par 5. Hey, skitty things happen. We won by 1 stroke.

                                  81 at Tarpon Springs. Had two birdies. Same as Monday, just not back to back. Excellent ball striking today, best in awhile. The greens at Tarpon Springs are Bermuda and are slower than the SeaDwarf Paspalum greens at Timber Greens,

                                  Also, Paspalum is much less grainy. So you really don't have to read the grain, like Bermuda. Anyway, never really got adjusted to the slower speed and left too many putts short. Happens there a lot.

                                  We went out first at 7:00 and were done at 10:03. After the round we were in the car and one of the guys in the group behind us came up and tapped on the window.

                                  He said he was very happy with how fast we played. Said he played in a 5 hour round recently. Another gorgeous morning on the course. 65 degrees when we went out.

                                    We've had similar comments made by groups who follow us. We walk, and usually it's riders who come up and say
