How did you shoot today at Golf
- Edited
DonM. One of his earlier efforts, LOL. And I also think he took into consideration that it was / is a municipal course, so not as penal as some of his others! There is a rather deep bunker in front of the green on this hole (#9, a par 5).....it's just not visible from where this picture was taken.
Solid 40 in league last night and a win. Just bogeys and pars. A few bad breaks led to bogeys, but a few good ones made par easier. Great back and forth match. I couldn't make a putt, but chipping was much better. Hit some great drives too.
On our #14 hole (~ 410 yards) I was in right rough about 175 yards into a little breeze...my shortest drive of the night. I hit 7i about 15 feet above hole....I was playing for front of green lol. I felt like @Typhoon although that would probably be a 3/4 9i for him.....and he would made the putt.
Came together a bit today. Played 18 because for some reason the course was empty. Birdied the first 6 out of 7 holes than parred 8 and 9. Birdies the 10th and 14th on the back. Missed makeable ones on 17 and 18
. Ended up -8.
Drove the ball extremely well with the g400 max and something new I’m doing. Irons came back a bit, still working on them. Wedges were money when I narrowed my stance a bit amd keeping still on putts brought back a good stroke again
scotts33 I played that course a number of years ago visiting friends in Toledo for a bowling tourney. What tee box did you play? 78 is damn good for over 6000 Whites. I enjoyed Detwiler Park very much.
Anymore (we're all over 70), we just play the senior tees.....about 5700 yards. Detwiler Park IS a nice course, but they've let it go to hell the last couple of years. It looks like the new management company is working hard to bring it back to what it should be. Yesterday it was in the best shape I've seen it in years.....I say good for them!!!
How's it going Buzzers! I've been away for a little while. I haven't been playing much do to life. Daughter graduated high school, I strained my rotator cuff and took 6 weeks off and I have been busy with every thing else under the sun.
Been on vacation since last Saturday in the beautiful SF Bay Area. Got to go out and play today at the Presidio Golf Course. Shot a 47-46 teeing off on #10 to start. Awsome golf course if you are in the area. Temp was 56° with a solid 25 mph wind for the front nine. Wind stayed but warmed up enough to lose the sleeves on the back nine.
My shoulder is all healed up so I should be back to playing on a regular basis and posting a bit more on here. For my own sanity, I had to block out 99% of golf related stuff to keep from rushing back into the game. Hell, I only watched the last 4 holes of the US Open!
79 at Tarpon Springs. Had one birdie. First out at 7:00. Finished at 9:45.
My new swing has been slipping away from me . Had to go look to see when I first posted about it and it was April 30th. So it lasted about two whole months but might just be done now.
Played today and shot 47-43-90 , two 8's on the front killed me. Hit 9fw's and 8 GIRs but nothing felt really good. Probably back to the drawing board soon. I hate to give up on this swing as I get absolutely no back pain from it.
Partner and I only managed even par in a 2 man scramble. We just couldn't hit greens. My irons and hybrids stunk. It is tropical humid.
On the bright side some of my parimutuel bets had a good Day 1.

Second and final day of the member member tournament. I went 37-43. Two doubles, one birdie. My long putting was great but I missed a few inside 5 feet. 
The heat was rough, I heard some guys couldn’t finish their rounds.
My partner lost his swing yesterday for the scramble and still had nothing working today. He felt terrible about it but what can you do. It happens.
It looks like I have a winner in the parimutuel. Yeah baby.

Another blah round 44-40-84. Nothing worked. I suck.
Edit to add: it was even worse, I forgot to mark the 9th hole so that 44 on the front was actually 50! My handicap has jumped from 10.3 to 12.5 in a couple weeks.
Quiet day at the course with threatening rain and tstorms so went over and decided to tip it up on the GOLDS at just over 7000 where the blocks were today. Maybe not the brightest move with a 2-3 club hurting wind on 9 holes and really only helping on 4.
Tough front at 43 , with 7 bogeys and only 2 pars.
Played much better on the back and was -3 standing on 16 tee ( and missed a 4 foot bird on 11) went bogey, bogey, double to end one over on the back but quite happy with an 80
Played a tournament Saturday with my buddy's son. Modified Alt Shot the front 9 and scramble the back 9. He's a big hitter, but unfortunately he was pretty crooked until the back 9. We scrambled well, but didn't do much in the Mod Alt Shot portion. We finished with back to back birdies to wind up 2 strokes out of the money.
Sunday round was cut short on #15 by big T storms coming in early. I shot 40 on the front, but was probably heading for a 44 on the back as I made 2 triples to go with all pars. The GHIN app gave me an 85 so it thought less of me lol.
I am killing the Rogue ST Max. It must know I ordered the AI Smoke Max. I hit some drives on Saturday that I haven't hit in 30 years. They may make me pee in a cup soon.
