75 at Longniddry on a breezy day earlier today - very much a round of two halves, as I couldn't make a par early on (five straight bogeys before my first par at 6), and then a pretty solid back nine. The hole positions hadn't been changed since the Professional's Day scramble tournament on Saturday - the par 3s were all in the middle of the greens (probably because of the hole in one prizes), but tough locations on the other holes with a lot of big-breaking putts. Add in firm conditions, and it made for some interesting golf - hit an 8-iron shot over 160 yards on the 9th (downwind), and 3-wood on the 13th from about 165 into the wind. That was the right club for the shot, too, as it finished about 6 feet under the hole for one of my two birdies - the other was a holed pitch shot from 65 yards on the 17th (bounce, bounce, roll, disappear...)

ode or Team Shitt

😂
I really do need to find out who was on that team so I can start my jabbing…LOL

      I shot 37-39-76 this morning at Bella Vista GC in Coldwater, Mich. Our travel group took a road trip (about an hour and a half from Toledo) b/c one of our guys commutes from there every week to play with us. Great course in beautiful condition!! 8 GIR, 1 birdie, 30 putts.

      I shot 41-38-79 at Detwiler Park GC in Toledo, OH this morning. The greens today were the fastest I've played all season, combined with some "challenging" pin positions, which made putting a real challenge. 10 GIR, no birdies, and 35 putts.

      I failed to beat the temp today. Was only 75* when I got done, and I needed to birdie that Par 5 18th hole to tie. Missed the 15'er.
      37/39.....yeah, another 76. With yet another set of irons (new build, Acer XV standard) and different drivers in the bag than the last 3 76s.

        Got 9 in early this afternoon. Really good weather. Started with 3 consecutive bogeys, but from 4 through 9 I was only one over, hitting all greens in regulation except one. Couldn't make a birdie putt, but I had a lot of chances, which is good. The more greens I hit, the lower my scores will go.

        I played a rare Sunday round with #2 son who happened to be in town. We played Detwiler Park in Toledo, the same course I played just a couple of days ago. I shot 38-39-77 to his 83. I can see why we seniors play on weekdays only, as it was VERY slow (waited on nearly every shot!), but still a good time playing with my son.

          That’s weekend golf for you! Doesn’t matter who you are… you gotta play during the week or forget it. As I’ve said before… nobody knows how long golf should take. Ask them and they say “we’re here for the day.” Weekend shooters are about drinking and driving a golf cart, not about the golf. You guys were a rarity!

            Shot an 86 today. 4 triples. Ugghh. Struggled with the driver and tried to do too much. Chipping and putting were hot and cold

              sdandrea1 Old school lofts. You can't play those. They don't go farther!

              Me and you, we're smart enough about this shit. I didn't even put the PW in the bag, used 5-9 and a 58* SW, not even a GW in the bag!! They played great, shot a 76 using them and................

              Typhoon Or as accurate!

              ................they were deadly accurate! Dead straight. Those Uniflex shafts are nice.

              And went just as far as I hit them. (read into that what you may🤣)

                    Typhoon Yeah many of my recent rounds could have been under 80. I was good thru 8 and then tripled 9 and 10. I was a bit wild all day but my chipping and putting were saving me a lot. Oh well didn't lose money.

                      Hence the reason for not needing a rangefinder from the box🙄
