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...

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

garyt1957 fatshot you take the best course pictures

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!

In the senior golf league today I played the first 12 holes 1 over par (1 birdie, 2 bogies). Eight GIR. I haven't been in a zone like that in several years. Of course the last 6 holes were back to reality, so I ended up shooting 82. A disappointing finish but it was still a net 63 and won my flight by 5 shots.

DonM how's that new Eleven hybrid? #7 wasn't it?

First I had the 8, then I bought a 7. I loved the 8, but the 7 is too flat, believe it or not. Anyway I figured out a setup problem that was hurting my irons, and now I'm hitting my irons a lot better. So no need for the 8 hybrid right now.

79 at Tarpon Springs. No birdies, but had several chances. We went out first at 7:00 and were done at 9:43. Just two of us and we had a twosome behind us.

The same guy thanked us again for playing so quickly. The best clubs in my bag continue to be my fairways woods. Hit some beauties today as well.

Do you find these hit higher than irons? My buddy who’s 84 can’t elevate his irons anymore. I told him about the Eleven hybrids.

I played in a geezer scramble today. It was the MGA event this week. A NET scramble, which I have never heard of. I don't know how they calculated the strokes but we had 11 of them. We had 7 birdies and 1 bogey for 66 gross, 55 net. We won. So now I can no longer say I've never been on a winning scramble team! 😃

Our D player had a lot of old infomercial clubs. He had 4 Square Strike clubs, and a couple iRT-5 hybrids which I had never heard of.

DonM

Sneakylong Yes but not crazy higher. Hi loft woods are the real answer.

Played the slumpbuster course near me AND moved up a tee because I wanted to hit more short irons. It's only rated 68.4/111 from there. Shot 37-41-78. Got tired on the back because I hit a million balls besides the one I was playing. Had about 21/2 sets of clubs with me. Didn't hurt -anything which was a plus as last time I was swinging so bad I hurt my knee, back and wrist!
10 Fw , 7GIRs, nothing special but a light at the end of the tunnel. My only irons next round will only be wedges.

DonM

I realized that yesterday was maybe my best driving day ever. And being a scramble, I was swinging 100 percent. This is not supposed to be the way.

I think it was more about a different mental approach to the shots.

The idea that there are no real consequences when hitting a bad shot in a scramble is freeing.

DonM

garyt1957 That must be it. I was in the zone. Every drive was 90th percentile or better. That’s nerdy, but it’s the best way to describe them. There has to be a way to get there again.

DonM Have you tried recreational drugs? Not completely joking, I suffer from the same problem and wonder if that helps?

DonM There has to be a way to get there again.

I suggest reading, believing and trying to implement Bob Rotella’s books ( his philosophy).
Get out of your own way basically. 👍

DonM Tell yourself you have a mulligan in your pocket every time you tee it up?

DonM

KCee Hah, no that’s not me.

garyt1957

KCee I tried CBD for tournaments to see if it would relax me. Jury is out. I think it might have helped a bit.
