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…

        DonM Getting to drive the cart is such fun for a kid!

        And illegal…insurance doesn’t cover it

            Ok, Debbie D.😄, we all know that.

            And if you read 'the fine print', those drunks that wreck your carts are also not covered.

                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.

                        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…😂🤣

                          rsvman2 We do 21. Used to be 18 but we realized their brains still aren’t developed yet.

                          People come in because they can book tee times online but have to come in for a cart rental. They ask why, I tell them do we don’t get 5 year olds renting carts.

                              From Wisconsin Dells...

                              Wild Rock. 78 with 2 Lengthy Par Putts and 2 Natural Birds.

                              Cold Water Canyon.....(98) Yes you read that right. I Sh*t The Bed on that round! Highlight was a 9 on a 160yd par 3.....don't ask.

                              Christmas Mountain, The Oaks. 75!
                              Played Outta My Azz! Not 1, but 2 chip ins! One to save par, one for bird. Hell, even the Mrs chipped one in for par!

                              These were my 3rd, 4th and 5th 18 hole rounds this year...

                              Shot 91 Saturday and 84 Sunday. Stupidly walked on Saturday; I thought the electric trolley would save me, but man was it hot & humid out. Even my belt was soaked lol. Took a cart Sunday even though it was a bit cooler. Went back out Sunday afternoon for 3 on 3 scramble.

                              If I could stop piping a drive OB a few times each round I'd be doing ok. I'm hitting it farther than I have been in a while, but we have OB and/or water on 11 holes and I am swinging a bit too freely. Short game sucks too, but some practice would probably fix that.

                              My handicap is still high so hopefully I can make use of it in some upcoming tournaments. Playing with my buddy's son in the next tournament which should be interesting. He has my game score-wise, but can hit it +300. It's modified alternate shot so I will either have a wedge to the green or ball in pocket lol.

                              9 hole Wash, rinse, repeat 🙄. -3, keep birding the same 3 holes. Hit all 9 greens, got nothing close. Driver came alive… I started crouching in my backswing and then pushing up from the ground on the downswing and hit it solid again. No more thin ones.

                              Irons…. It’s me…. Don’t know what… best iron of the day was on the first hole par 5 nice drawing 4 iron on in 2. Everything else is a pull compared to where I want to start the ball and then draws or I flip. Tomorrow might be the range.
