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...

Jelopster 42 (par 33 9 holer) in a scramble with my 11 y/o (his second time playing). We used 17 of his shots so he was thrilled. Probably the best day I’ve had on a golf course!

Congrats! That's a great way to introduce a boy to playing the game without his having to feel like the game is "too hard." Enjoy his growth as his game improves! I can't even remember anymore the first times I took either of my sons out to play, but they're 53 and 47 years old now, both love to play, and an occasional round with them is absolutely one of my favorite things to do! Along those same lines, here's a picture my son just sent us yesterday of him and his 4-year-old at Golf Galaxy!

78 (42-36) at Timber Greens. No birdies. Parred the back nine. Great morning for golf. Went out first at 7:15 and were done at 10:18. Had the place to ourselves.

83 today. Started slow again. 5 greens, 31 putts. Nothing noteworthy. We won a few bucks.

Off to a hot start today. Needed par on the final hole to shoot 73, so I double bogeyed it🤬 for a 75 (4 over)😄. Best round of the year for me. Team won 2nd in best-2-balls and I nailed a CTP on #12 (with my driver). 170 yard par 3 into the breeze. 10'6". 😁

Only club I've got to cover that shot. 😣

sdandrea1 Been there. Should still be doing it, and no reason not to on some of those holes. I used to do it a lot, but not since I 'moved up'.
There is 1 hole (185yds.) on 1 course I play where I've been hitting 3wd. Every damn time, I hit it badly. Next time I'm using driver.👍

I shot 41-38-79 today at Riverby Hills in Bowling Green, OH this morning. A little breezy, but a good day to play otherwise. Riverby is a little hillier than most of the courses around here, so part of the challenge is walking and pushing the cart up and down those hills. Chipped in for a birdie, hit 7 greens, 32 putts. Hit the ball more solidly than I have all spring....

We have a few courses around here that have 'hills' in their names. For good reason. And I love playing them, but of course, never walk.

This is the course from Sunday, #18. #1 is on the left. iirc, only 1 hole is flattish, but does have a darned hill on/within the green!! 😲

fatshot you take the best course pictures

Riverby has one nine that is flat-ISH, but the back nine has no less than 6 holes that are a challenge to walk. I suppose I'll reach a point where I'll maybe ride a cart on the back nine, and eventually for the whole course. But at this point, I'm either too stubborn or too cheap to give in yet...!!!

Bravopilot Tough Par 3 for the Geezer group??

Our par 3s here from the red/white combo tees are as follows: (2 courses)

130, 120, 160, 150, 170. (Par 71)
155, 170, 110, 188, 115. (Par 70)

It's tougher from the whites 🤬

Bravopilot

sdandrea1 170 and above is not right.

Bravopilot 170 and above is not right.

Agree 100%. We have one at my "home course".......185 from the senior tees and the green sits right on top of
a rather steep slope. Nine times out of ten, my tee shot hits right into that slope and dies right there! The tenth
time, I choose to hit driver and run it over the green....! 😡

Bravopilot 170 and above is not right.

There's a few short par 4s to make up for it. Even Steven.

Bravopilot 170 and above is not right.

Concur 100%!!! 2 of the 4 par 3’s at my course are 205 & 191 from the whites…carding a par is like getting birdie.

And #6, the 205 yard par 3 with water along the left, is right after #5 a damn 425 yard par 4…let’s just say that little stretch can humble many a dude if you are not making the right decisions.

I shot 46/45 on a mostly cloudy, windy day. Driving was decent, putting was okay. On the back nine I figured out something with my irons that seemed to help. Hopefully I'll remember what it is the next time I play. That won't be until May.

Got around in less than 4 hours.

Fixed it. 😁

My course opens on Thursday, but the weather will be cold and rainy until Sunday. My first round of the season will be on Monday. Finally. 😁⛳
