Shotgun start tournament today. Shot 38/41 for 79. Made 2 birdies but no skins and not sure we even placed.
How did you shoot today at Golf
Played 9 with my dad in Utah at a cool track called Talon's Cove on the west side of Utah Lake. Never played it before, using clubs I don't know, etc.
Hit 'em really well today. Had two bogies and the rest were all pars. Good times. Perfect weather, too.
38/36-74
6 GIRs
10 FWs
1 birdie
3 bogies
25 putts
Was trying to beat the temp again, but the forecasted high of 76 never made it; only got to 73. And I had 3 of the nastiest strokes ever on #18, to set up an ending bogey.
Last weekend being Labor Day weekend and today being NFL opening, I cannot believe how packed the courses were both Sundays! And slow AF.
Great weather, but summer is coming back for the rest of the week.....upper 80s/lower 90s.
I did an emergency reshaft over the weekend. I put the iRN shafts back into my irons, took out the heavier, stiffer shafts. Today I hit 10 greens, so the universe is back in balance. 
Front 40 with a birdie, double and triple (just a bad bounce, basically)
Back 37 with two birdies
29 putts.
I again missed some good looks at birdie from 15-20 feet. Just like last time, they were right on line and just short. The LAB putter continues to make me better, though. And Aimpoint Express, definitely, although nobody wants to hear about that.

Agreed! I have been playing around with a Cobra 3D Printed Agera Armlock Putter. I definitely see much the same as a Mezz same roll same low dispersion rates at the hole. Tech in putters is real and I'm more of a traditionalist. I can see the improvement in performance tech allows.
Eguller Hmmm. Imagine how great Corey Pavin would have been if he had ditched that low tech Bullseye putter.
I'm no Corey Pavin and if tech can help hackers I'm all for it. BTW, do remember Pavin played Cleveland VAS irons the most high tech shovel irons of their time for that 1995 US Open win at Shinnecock Hills.
Pavin's 4 wood shot. Steel shafted 4 wood a club that is obsolete in today's game.

Typhoon Youāre judging that based on watching pros, who almost all take a long time to read putts no matter how they do it. I walk partway to the hole, quickly feel the slope, then go hit the putt. No walking around to look from other sides, no books, no plumb bobbing, no asking my partners to look at it. Often I can get my read before itās my turn. I make sure not to slow down play for my reads. Anyway, letās not re-litigate this here.

DonM I walk partway to the hole, quickly feel the slope,
So, are you putting with your feet or your eyes?
I've seen no one, ever, use this system outside TV, and I've seen no improvement in putting stats since it become 'something'.
And I would never use it myself. If you do not 'look' at the putt/the line, read the green....from down low, you're gonna miss something.
And usually that is an easy putt, that you made harder than it was.
Par4QC Itās greatly improved my reads here on these greens. The more Iāve done it, the better Iāve become at it. At this point, itās so simple.
I think youāre one of the one percenters who are gifted putters. You definitely donāt need Aimpoint.
Do you know enough about any proās putting to know that they havenāt improved with Aimpoint? I donāt. āI see them use Aimpoint and miss a putt, so Aimpoint doesnāt help.ā ?
Honestly I donāt even listen to guys like Brad Faxon. Thereās no point. They have the gift. I might as well listen to Lebron tell me how to dunk. Anyway, I regret bringing it up in this thread. Iām done with it here. Iām glad to talk about it in the right topic.

DonM Was playing with a couple of fellas the other day that I'd just met. I had a pitch onto the green, then putted the ball in with my SW. On another hole, I chipped with my 8i and proceeded to drain that one also...with the 8i. 1 guy just looked at me shaking his head, and I said...'just showin' off'
.
He said he'd never heard of Steve Mizerak when I asked.

I shot 39-40-79 at The Legacy Golf Club in Ottawa Lake, MI this morning. Played well on the front, then lost it for a while on the back, but finished with pars on the last couple of holes. 8 GIR's, 32 putts, no birdies, 1 D. bogey, including a penalty. Course was in excellent condition.....lightening fast greens!
DonM Don, after reading your trials and tribulations with putting over the past couple years I think, and if you think about it, I might be right, that now you are not over reading things and more or less putting blindly and it works better.
You would listen to us and over complicate thingsā¦. I think. Now, like Rex says, and I agree with the āI donāt putt with my feetā thing is itās simple and youāve taken the overthinking thing out of your mind and just hitting the putt.

Par4QC. "fatshot, I can picture myself on that hole.
Right in the shadow of that bunker. 
"
It's a short dogleg left par 4, around a pond. It's possible to drive it in the bunker if you're trying to play safe,
or in the water if you're trying to cut the dogleg short. I lucked out today....pull-hooked it left, and JUST cleared
the water so I only had about 60-70 yards left to the green!

T7 in a charity scramble today. -10. No mulligans or string nonsense. L to R, nephew, sister, PapaD, SIL. Nephew and SIL are bombers and overall good players. Sister and I are high functioning geezers, but we all contributed.
