How did you shoot today at Golf

Clubs.
Oh, and in the best cheap Golf Buzzard way, I bought my golf ball supply used from kids on the street.

First 18-hole round of the year here: https://www.eaglewoodresort.com/golf.htm
Played the silver tees, about 5400 yards. Shot 90 which I was pleased with, particularly with a 5-6-8 start (all par 4s). Had 7 pars, including 4 in a row on Holes 5-8.
Bunkers were fairly penal and on one hole a fried egg leave took me 3 shots to get out (the 8 above). Greens were tricky and undulating and the scorecard shows I had 40 putts!
Had just put together a Wishon Micro-Groove HM SW that worked beautifully 4 times today and set up my best birdie chance, which I left short. Partial credit to GolfBuzz and @SVonhof for the deal a few years ago.
The driver, the Honma XP-1 that I picked up based on Uncle Steve's recommendation, was excellent all day. Hooked two drives starting the back 9 but righted the ship after that. The shaft is the most excellent @LogicalOne Leveler untipped at 45". For my slow SS I am consistently getting a slight draw out to 210 yards after roll, even on shots towards the toe, and the occasional 220-230 yard shot. Not one slice today. I don't think that has ever happened for me on an 18-hole round before.

Wow, that was a while ago!
SVonhof Only 3 years...what can I say, I am patient.
I bought some @LogicalOne wedges, but have not shafted them up yet. I got them to replace the ones I have when they wear out, but they are just starting to rust now, which is cool, so I don't know how long until those see any play.
He sent me some poker chip ball markers and I have left a few of them in random places on the courses for people to find, thinking maybe they would look up the brand.
41-38-79 today at the old home course, Chippewa Golf Club, Curtice, Ohio. I bogeyed the first 6 holes, then played the last 12 in 2 over. Two birdies and 29 putts helped.....!!

Now, THAT'S not a bad idea!! I might have to do that from time to time. Maybe leave a LogicalOne divot tool stuck in the green...

Another not so good 46 on nine holes. Still rushing the transition to the downswing and hitting more bad shots than good. The good part is that I forced a little time to play. The bad part is that I know exactly where my main issue is and still donβt have it under control. 3 pars, 3 bogeys, and 3 others.
Getting closer to putting things together. Managed a -1 on the front nine with 3 birdies.
#10 - wedge to 4 feet. Missed it.
#11 - 6 iron to 5 feet. Missed it.
#12 - 7 iron to 5 feet. Missed it.
Birdie putts today < 10 feet? made 0 of 5.
Birdie putts today 10 to 25 feet? made 4 of 5. Stupid game.
Last 5 holes here are arse kickers, and they got me. Finished +4.

39/37
Felt like the best round I've played this year and ended up with that 76.
Had a rare double thanks to a bunker and being extremely short sided; flag was only 5' on. Maybe less.
Another rarity was 10 GIRs! Which led to 30 putts. My fault for leaving several putts 6" short.
9 fw hit, but in my defense 3-4 actually went through the fw, I was hitting so well.
Took out some older toys this time, along with the Neuro.X Tour driver (a few holes) which is an amazing club, with the Leveler shaft. Acer Tour Blades are highly overlooked/underrated. New stuff is overrated. Yet I have both.
Nice round
Not golf shooting but last night I went 5-0 in my pool league. In addition, I went 5-0 last week as well. I currently have a 13 game winning streak going on. Over my last 4 weeks, I am 18-2. I am playing very good and have shot up to 9th in our league from around 35th in 4 weeks.
Is it OK to thread jack my own thread?
Mattyβs a shooter
Incomplete. I made two mistakes today. First trying to play golf after mowing the lawn. My back is stiff as a board from all the walking with and maneuvering of the mower. Two, was to go to the nine hole goat ranch course on a nice Saturday afternoon. After taking two hours to play 6 holes (and this is an abbreviated par 33 nine hole course) me and the boy decided to walk back in since that was the closest point we would be to the parking lot for the next hour. Went to Wimpy's and had delicious burgers.
