How did you shoot today at Golf
4 over 75 at Timber Greens. One birdie. Solid ball striking continues. Putting was fantastic.

Played yesterday and it was not good. Again.
41-43/84.
Every shot was short for some reason, even Jake's were; except for some drives. I'm short of GIRs anyway, but was shorting every chip/pitch on top of it. Tried putting a few from off the fringe but that didn't work well either. FW clubs came up short also. Escaping with a low 80s was a blessing, it seems.
This course is normally dry, hard, and fast and was expecting to see some real bombs on the long Par 5 holes. But, when we got in the clubhouse I noticed a sign that said 90* and rough only. WTH? Once we got on the 1st FW we found out why. Wet, mud, standing water in some areas, inc. teeing areas. Had no clue it had rained there, and would never have gone knowing such. Never had a drop at my place, nor was any forecast for the area. Then again, they've had 3-4" of snow when I got none, in the winter. Only 17 mi. away.
We'll try the place again in July. IF it ever stops raining every other day.
Sneakylong Solid ballstriking and fantastic putting are hard to beat!
Back nine twice, CPO, same old story. The front nine is SO flooded, I hope it can recover. And it is pouring again as I type this. 
40 with 1 green and 13 putts
38 with 7 greens and 18 putts
Each nine included a birdie, and a missed two footer. 
Both of them missed left so I'm assuming I decel'd. Frick. But I sunk several medium to long putts. It's always something.
Full swing was excellent throughout the bag. I really, really have to take some time to work on the partial wedges though. Boy oh boy.
We made money today. The teams were loaded with good hardcore players today, so scores were low across the board. Our foursome had 3 of us in the 70s.
44/41 today. I drove the ball well but missed a lot of greens from 100-130 and then failed to get up and down for par. Five gir on the day but, shockingly, 3 birdies. All 3 in the 18-25 foot range. First time I've ever made birdies on the first and last holes. It was nice having nothing worse than a double on the card, too.

39/46 with a brutal 41 putts which included a 4 whack.
Day one of a two day tourney, putted myself out of contention but hopefully I can have a good bounce back tomorrow and sneak into the top 10
Played Lees Hill today from the 5800 y tees. Jesse played the 6200 y tees. He's 14 and hit a drive 270 today 
. He shot 85, I carded 82 with 2 doubles. 
Played 9 today after the day job and before the pro shop job. Came in at -4. Played one ball for score and a few others just to find some sort of tempo. Tee shots were ok, did hit 2 bombs to places I hadn’t been in a while or ever. Irons were either high right or a little flip. Not the ballflight I’m looking for still.

I shot 37-40-77 today at White Pines Golf Club in Swanton, Ohio. Today was the first time I've played
halfway decent in most of the areas of the game so far this season. Hit 6 GIR's, 29 putts and two birdies....hope it continues!!
Eguller Hmmmm - sounds like a minor body release/turn coordination with arm speed/swing issue.
Basically I had no F’ing idea what was wrong.
Went to the range this afternoon for a couple hours. Much better. Driver needed to not come inside so fast and not closed. Almost a Fred couples backswing feeling. Irons was more of a timing issue. You know how you know the feel you want and it’s a matter of time before you hit one and say, “that was it”. That happened and I was able to know what it was.
Shot 42 in league. Butchered 2 holes trying to match my opponent. We won our matches and all 3 points to win the first half. Cash prize!
sdandrea1 Played that once, Thought this was/is the course that closed and your former community/house there was built to support? Clearly not. Remembered the course was narrow
Well, another day of abysmal putting, shot an 86 and had 41 putts again. 6 three putts and a 4 putt. No yips just could not for the life of me read breaks and speed control was was off ...blew everything by.......so frustrating because the driver was amazing, only missed 3 fw over the two days.....ended T13 but even average putting would have gotten me top 3.....oh well such is golf. Another event next week at a course with notoriously fast, and challenging greens....oh joy
82 at Tarpon Springs. Everything was a little off today, but was still able to hustle my ball around the course pretty well.
My wife and I got out today. She played great 42-44-86. I played pretty well also, especially the front nine, 39-42-81.
I actually putted side saddle today. I've actually been putting pretty good for me, low 30's but the last two rounds were bad so the last few holes the other day I putted side saddle just as a joke. Can't say I really made anything but my second putt was always a 6 incher so I thought...maybe?
So I gave it a try today using a standard putter that in no way is made for face on putting. I was pretty good on the front nine with 16 putts. I had two 3 putts but one was completely from a bad read and nothing to do with the side saddle. Had 0 putts on the 9th as I putted in from the fringe. Again, I really didn't make anything other than on 9 but I was close every time with mostly 6" 2nd putts. Back 9 was a little more erratic even though I had the same 16 putts. Makes me really want to give side saddle another go with a putter that is actually made for face on but every side saddle putter out there is too expensive for an experiment.

Back nine twice but NOT CPO for a change. The front nine might reopen sometime next week. Hot but not that humid. Iced towels and a breeze helped a lot.
79 with 9 greens and 33 putts. One birdie, one double. Everything was pretty average.
