Eguller Hmmmm - sounds like a minor body release/turn coordination with arm speed/swing issue. šŸŒ

Basically I had no Fā€™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 itā€™s a matter of time before you hit one and say, ā€œthat was itā€. 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.

          Played 18 today after the gym. Shot -5. Hit it a little better than the other day. Pm grinds were better on full shots than the high toes but a couple up and down chances were blown because of worn grooves. The g400 max kept me on play but thatā€™s about all I can say. Irons were better but still not great. Thinking itā€™s an alignment issue. Iā€™ll hit the range tomorrow and see. Probably left 4 shots out there easy.

            Played 9 on Lackland AFB early afternoon today with a couple younger active duty NCOs who are in my classā€¦temp hit 100 by the 7th holeā€¦glad we quit after 9 as I was beginning to overheatā€¦managed to still shoot a 45 with this mismatched set of rental junk with clubs missingā€¦

            The purple 3 wood is womenā€™s modelā€¦Kirkland 56* wedge performed the best out of the bunch šŸ˜œ

            Pic was taken before we teed off on #1ā€¦yes I returned the clubs cleaner than I received them šŸ™„

              Heck, those aren't bad at all.......one pro I worked for in the summers filled out his "rental sets" with junk out of the Lost and Found department. A typical "set" would have a Wilson Sam Snead laminated driver, a Spalding Jerry Barber 3 iron, a Kroyden 5 iron, a Ram Tommy Bolt 7 iron, a Northwestern Chi-Chi Rodriguez 9 iron, and a Putt-Putt. blade putter. This god-awful arrangement rented for $10 bucks back in those days, LOL!!!!

                Typhoon Played 18 today after the gym. Shot -5.

                Even the best golfers in the world don't break par every round, but you do. šŸ¤” Is your course that easy? What's the length and course / slope rating? Most New England courses have some woods and are not wide open.

                You say you hit bad / errant shots, but still are always well under par, even for 9 holes. šŸ˜Æ Must be the easiest course around. Either that or you should be on some kind of Tour. lol

                    VigilanteTrail I got my first hole in one using a rental set. Usually if I go somewhere I call ahead about rental sets ā€¦. Hate dragging my clubs on the plane. And I play the same with rentalsšŸ™„

                      Sneakylong Itā€™s not a tour quality course with 500 yard par 4ā€™s. Itā€™s tight but not long. As Iā€™ve said before Iā€™ve shot par with a 7 iron, 56 degree and putter.

                      The par 5ā€™ are reachable in 2 with an iron other than the 17th which is 575 yards. Itā€™s tight but you also donā€™t need driver all the timeā€¦ you just need to play smart. Our 10 th hole for instance i drivable at 300-320 but tighter than a Nunā€™s coach. There is a creek as well, at 170. Lay up to the creek and an easy approach but 90% of the people whip out driver and make 8. There is some water but nothing crazy.. I donā€™t make big mistakes or panicā€¦. Been shooting these scores for years.

                      Landon is still pissed at meā€¦

                          Yeah, the Blues at 5700 plus are short for you. And a 123 slope isnā€™t that high. And 6 par 3ā€™s. Still to be able to shoot under par every time at any length you still have to get the ball in the hole. šŸ‘ Never a bad putting day? lol

                              Sneakylong Bad putting day is a lot of 2 putts. I canā€™t remember my last 3 putt. Putting this year hasnā€™t been greatā€¦ probably costing me 3 shots. ā€¦ the inside 8 feet ones I expect to make
