Today I played 36 holes with a buddy. He booked the round via golf moose. Round for 2, plus cart, plus replay, total of $90.00
1st round I carded 48/46- 94. My buddy went 48/48-96.
2nd round I carded 46/51-97. He carded 43/51-94.
My driver went south on the 2nd round, so I started to take a partial swing and just try to bunt it down into the fairway so I could hit my 5 iron which was almost golden today. My 7 iron let me have a beautiful straight, long, high shot that hit the green nicely.
They had us starting on hole 10, not sure why. They did have guys working on the bunkers on the front 9, yet they didn't close the front 9...

ode one can get up and down for any score.

Up and down means getting on the green from the vicinity of the green and one-putting for any score. Prove us wrong Sexy Rexy! 😂😄

The interwebs says @ode is correct, so.....

This is different from scrambling, which has a clear definition: The percent of time a player misses the green in regulation, but still makes par or better. An up an down doesn’t have the requirement that the player has to make par or better, making it a stat that captures more successful occurrences.

    Typhoon You’re hitting a 42” driver? Who are you… Dorf?

    Correction, it's 43". It's a shaft I've always hit well no matter the head I put in it.

        Typhoon Donyou have that shaft in 45”? If you like it that much it might me worth a try

        I do have another and it's just not as good. Maybe it's the length that makes it work?

          We played this afternoon. 90° with a dew point of 75° for a heat index of 101.
          Phuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkk. By the end, I was close to heat exhaustion or whatever the first stage is called. I’m not ready for this.

          85 and couldn’t wait to get home.

          Long busy fun week but I think I hit a wall today. Got up early to play and just couldn't get going. Shot a horrible 49 on the front. Just a lack of concentration. Hot dog and two Diet Cokes at the turn for some caffeine and energy I was determined to keep my attention and play better. Shot 40 on the back to make me feel better. Two shots in the sand on 18 kept it from being a 39.

            Worst round in history.
            44/43...87. 😲

            Every facet of the game escaped logic to my brain. And to my **&% clubs. The only decent chips I had was from the snack bar. Putts were by demons. Drunk-assed, weak, demons at that. Drives were the distances of a seed spitting contest. Double bogies were sometimes a blessing.

            But, if we lived in a small rural town, the local paper would have it written up as....."a good time was had by all"😅.

              Didn't play but one thing I have to add from my last round, this new swing is really body friendly. Played M-T-T-F and my back feels great. Also played BB Mon and Thurs. Usually my lower back will be stiff after playing that much but nothing. This alone makes the change worthwhile.

                Another hot day but this time I took better care of myself.
                38-38 / 76.
                9 greens and 29 putts. I made putts from everywhere. I owned the par fours, which is super unusual. 3 birdies. Did not hit any par threes and only 1 par five. I missed 2 of the par fives from 50 yards, lol! That distance has been a real weakness lately.
                Driving and irons were boss. And putting. What a funny game.

                Our team did well. Our 91 year old D player shot 81 from the reds. He only gets 10 strokes from the reds, but still, that’s a great round.
