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....

    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.👍

      fatshot a little hillier than most of the courses around here

      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!! 😲

        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)

        1. 130, 120, 160, 150, 170. (Par 71)

        2. 155, 170, 110, 188, 115. (Par 70)

        It's tougher from the whites 🤬

            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....! 😡

              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.

              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.

                  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. 😁⛳

                  I played 18 last night, just getting in before dark. Very quick round walking with 2 friends. I scored horribly, shooting 93, but I did finally start hitting my irons. Unfortunately that's mostly what screwed me as I flew greens and long at my club is OB or just asking for double bogey. I was 2 clubs longer with my irons, but of course I was short and crooked with the driver and even my hybrid.

                  80s and super humid, is summer here so soon?

                  I shot an eventful 81.
                  Bad: 2 drives OB left.
                  Good: Each time I got a one putt bogey. And net par.
                  Bad: Lost 3 balls, again. I only carry about 5.
                  Bad: You know that hole I documented a few days ago? I’ve hit my tee shots into the lake on the last two rounds. Today it was only 200 to the lake. I used a 9 wood, which is my 160 or so club, and it rolled in with no doubt. 😡
                  Bad: 6 hybrid. I’m sick of it.
                  Good: 11 wood replacement for 6H. I hit the 6H left into the junk on the first par 3. The next one I tried the 11 wood for its first shot in a real round. Straight at the pin, and at the time it was closest to the pin. I don’t know if it held up.
                  Average: 7 greens.
                  Bad: I 4-putted my first green.
                  Great: But I only had 27 putts total.
                  Good: 3 birdies.

                  I just can’t stop shooting myself in the foot. I’m striking the ball well overall, and chipping and putting well. But the mistakes are killers.

                    DonM Nice recoveries from those OB drives! 27 putts would be unheard of for me.

                      Thanks, but I can't really take credit....I'm far from being any good with phones, tech, etc. Usually the pics come from the course's website....Copy / Paste is my friend!
