How did you shoot today at Golf
- Edited
I have to explain something that may appear as 'slightly unusual/perhaps unbelievable'.
I won a new putter a few months ago. A L.A.B Link 1, with an upgraded KBS Tour GPS shaft. It was a very professional build by a top clubmaker. Zero costs...absolutely free. And this sumbich has made me an even better putter. I've actually been embarrassed to post total putts, but have been in the 25-27 range since using this, the last 3 rounds. It truly does seem like it has GPS on the cup. Absolute nicest feeling putter I've ever held. And with what it sells for, I'm having a hard time not selling it.
But, today's round was an almost S-M-A round of 73, with just 25 putts.
1 double
1 birdie
11 1 putts!!
I did buy a Zero Friction ball(orange) in the clubhouse, just for S&Gs. I gotta look these things up. Very nice feel, very long, and either due to my swing today or it's makeup, straight as an arrow.
Finally got my first round of the season in. I was fairly pleased with the outcome.
43-41 for an opening day 84. I had 28 putts (1 3-putt and 1 chip-in), and I converted 8 greenside opportunities. That's what helped my score. I hit 11 fairways and the misses were all in the first cut, so no real problems there. The biggest problem was lack of distance off the tee which put some pressure on the rest of my game.
All in all, a satisfying start to the season.

Good for 4th place in our flight (4 flights total)
Missed 3rd place $$ by 0.2 strokes in our flight…
Sandbagging lying bass turds I tell ya!! 
Have never driven the ball as well as I did today…EVER…and all of them longer than my personal norm…only missed 1 fairway…crazy shizz…I earned the new title “fancy pants shaft guy” …go HOF go!
Decent 85 today considering the wind. Great zig and zag with my partner to win low net. Also won a skin. Driver was a bit straighter.
VigilanteTrail Fivesome?
Bravopilot Fivesome?
Yes…no idea why the Opening Day scramble is a fivesome format…but it always has been…must be a story behind it I imagine
Another 85. No real wind just horrible putting.
Due to flooding we played the back nine twice today. It's a little easier than the front nine, at least for me. I shot 81 with 2 birdies on par 3's, and a triple. My swing thought was not working so I only got 6 greens. I adjusted it and was better on the second nine.
The triple was just me doubling down on stupid. I KNOW that on this course, when I have a bad shot, I have to switch to bogey mode. But I didn't, so I followed a topped shot with a hero attempt that ended up in the woods.
Went out today but quit after 9. Chiropractor says I have a "displaced rib" whatever that means. Couldn't get through the ball so figured why struggle. Beautiful day though.
So I got out and played my first 18 hole round since God Knows when. Used the Nike Vapor Pro combos I picked up last week. Haven’t played more than a 9 hole round or 2 over the last 3 years and that was with only a couple clubs.
Hit 16 greens, hit every fairway ( which never happens). Shot -4. Didn’t try to swing hard because of the rib cage pain. Worst club in the bag, and the faulty club on the 2 misses greens were the 56 and 60 degree High Toe wedges. High right blocks on full shots…Odd….
After the round I worked in the shop and took the 60 with me and hit a few shots. Seems I was too steep and not a good weight shift.
Bet you're embarrassed about all those putts.Got in 9 this morning before my meeting. Biggest concern was the couple full wedge shots from yesterday. Dropped a few balls here and there and hit them fine.
Shot -2…. Just missed a few putts, seems the guy doing the holes doesn’t teams down around the hole. Every put breaking toward the hole and then gets to the hole and falls off in the opposite direction.
