I should have stayed home and played with myself today. 51/43 @ San Marcos. I whacked my left thumb last night with a serrated grill spatula trying to separate 2 frozen burger patties. Had a little swelling that hurt pretty bad on my downswing. It got better on the back nine as did my score. Had the f'ing y!p$ again with my chipping. I need to hit the practice facility and work that shit out of my system. Happened 5 times today.🤬

Golf next Sunday in SoCal with @Sparky playing Hidden Valley in Corona,CA. One of my favorite SoCal courses.

    Mattyv Had the f'ing y!p$ again with my chipping.

    Next week we will have a chunk-off. My chipping has been awful lately.

    My driving has been awful lately. My putting lately? Awful. 7 iron has been ok, but that is all.

        KCee Next few days we have those “feels like 105” temp days. I haven’t played in almost 3 weeks due to vacation and getting caught up last week at work. Should be able to get out for 9 the next 3 days. The time off is usually good since I wasn’t hitting the irons great back then but reset everything with a great range session last week.

          Got in 9 after a 3 week layoff. came in -4. Driver was meh, took out the SLDR for once and ballooned a few, hit 2 good ones. Irons were not great again until I figured out my left elbow was not pointed at the target. Birdies both par 5's and made a couple 8 footers for birdies on a par 3 and a par 4.

            DonM I go out alot of times with a 7 iron from our lost and found. I'll just do the front 9. Usually anywhere from -1 to +1. I hear about it for weeks....

                Typhoon Sometimes we go out after lunch and play a 7i match for a few holes. No one scores that well though lol.

                  DonM Done this a few times way back when I was playing often. Once just a putter--of course i was just 17 then, cheap old putter from my first set.

                    And people come in telling us what great condition the course is in…. So do they not know what good is? Where the f*ck else are they playing ??

                    Yes, this is a tee box.

                      Walterjn so, why hasn't the grounds crew closed that tee box and reseed it??

                      All the tee boxes other than #1 look like that. There is seed… but they don’t water and they put the markers where the seed is so it’ll never grow

                          Just got in, decided to play 18 instead of 9. Temps in the mid 90’s so the course was empty. Shot -9. Missed a 10 footer on the last hole for birdie, thought it’d break, didn’t. Went back and tried again, it was straight…. Damn!!!!! That would have been -10😔

                          Hit every green, irons were decent, getting better. Hitting the driver longer than I can remember.

                          Called off our usual Tuesday travel group today b/c of storms this morning. Finally got out later though with #1 son who took me to the cleaners, 82 to my 84 at Detwiler GC in Toledo. My back continues to bother me when I play, typically tightening up on the back 9. Aside from getting to play with my son, today's 41-43-84 round was not too much fun.....3 GIR's, 32 putts, 1 D.bogey, 0 birdies. Maybe I'll try riding next time.....

                          Had to walk 18 since carts weren't allowed out due to storms. It was hot and muggy when I went out at noon. Virtually had the course to myself. Tons of water on the course making you walk way out of the way to get to a ball right in the middle of the fairway. Played pretty good, finished in 2:45. Got tired at the end finishing double-double which hurt. Shot 83.

                          Typhoon what the f is wrong with them??
                          We've has an entire tee box closed off and move the tee markers to the other box.
