46/48 in the senior league. I was on in regulation the first 3 holes. Then I sucked the rest of the day. Only 1 more gir. I felt tired the last 5-6 holes and my swing was a mess. It wasn't super hot for Texas but humid. I'm not looking forward to July and August.
How did you shoot today at Golf

42 last night. 7 on the tough, extremely uphill last hole overcooking a drive left, when only a 3 or 5 wood is all that’s needed. Got to be smarter.
Par 71 again, probably for quite a while still. I shot 78 with 6 greens and 29 putts. I finished with a 3 putt which killed the joy a little. 2 birdies from great approach shots. Our team was not good and we finished DFL. Ten bucks down the drain.
This was a hybrid-free game today. First time in a long, long time. But the 6 iron that got put into play was lousy instead. And the 27 degree 9 wood never hit a green either. So I dunno. Those two spots in the bag have been jinxed for a long time. And I have several shots a round with them. I need to try something different. Maybe a shorter heavier hybrid. I have Pinhawk 5 & 6 hybrid heads. I didn't like them when I tried them, but I'm getting desperate.
The new to me Jetspeed 7 wood is very good. I didn't try the new 3 wood today. It's funny but the actual FGS Plus shafts seem to be better than the equivalent iDrive Tour shafts.
78 at Tarpon Springs. Had one birdie.

Had planned to go to a better course but got talked into putting in a light fixture so I ended up just going to the slumpbuster near home.
3rd hole in, the head flew off my driver. Surprisingly the drive still went 185 and in the fairway. The head went about 50. Bad thing is I couldn't find the screw. So I moved up to the senior tees to finish the round and used my 3 wood. Shot 76 with two birdies, one a par 3 from 150 to 18".
Played in 2 hours 10 minutes. All my best rounds are alone or with one other person where we play in under 3 hours or thereabouts. I can't seem to keep my concentration for 4.5 -5 hour rounds. Played a 5 hour round Tuesday where I shot 37-50. And before that a tournament round where I had a good front nine and sucked on the back that we played in 4.75 hours. It's always something.
I'm kind of wondering if the loose head played a part in the 50 on Tuesday. I was really striping the driver till the 12th hole when everything started going weak right. Found water right 3 times on the way in and today everything was right in the tree line till the head flew off. Sounds like a reasonable excuse.
Had a weird game this morning, but decent score of 78. Only 5 greens, with 30 putts. On the front nine I got up and down 5 of 7 times. The back nine, only 1 of 6. I missed several “Rorys” on the back, including less than 3 feet for birdie. The heat was wearing me down. Monday afternoon is gonna be a challenge.
The Acer XDS React 6 hybrid made a very good case for a spot in the bag. I’m going to build its 5H sibling.

Back at the home course finally…my boy & I knocked out a quick 18 tonight…had some swirling/gusting wind for a few holes due to a thunderstorm that skirted us but then it finally settled down..
10 FWs, 6 GIR, 34 putts
Carded an 83…
These Ping iE1’s are staying in the bag…have not had these kind of dispersion results with irons for a damn long time…if ever…something about this set of sticks is just working for me…
VigilanteTrail Getting to drive the cart is such fun for a kid!

Par4QC just sayin…. It’s happened here and the parents weren’t too thrilled when they saw they had to pay. Had a Dad tell his kid to bring the cart back… not smart to begin with, kids goes by the shop doing 90 right into the back of the ones in the cart return. Kid got hurt too unfortunately.
Typhoon kids goes by the shop doing 90
Piss poor parenting IMHO…neither of my kids would ever do that…they have been raised better and know the ramifications if they were to ever attempt a shit show move like that…
We don’t let them drive the cart solo without one of us with them…but my daughter will earn this solo privilege once she has her driver’s license in a couple weeks.
VigilanteTrail Thought courses required drivers to be 18? Or is that the age for DL's up there, instead of 16?
Par4QC Thought courses required drivers to be 18?
Not at our private club…or maybe it just isn’t enforced…I see teenagers driving carts every now & then…and they usually play later in the day when the “adults” are already done…probably because their parents said so…
One of those kids is my daughters age (15) and is a way better golfer (4.3 index) than 80-90% of the membership…including me…
@"Par4QC"#p374389 We have cameras out on the course too, a lot of places do now. Liability and stupidity force it nowadays..
