KCee My main course usually only takes around 2.5. But lately, even mid-week afternoon, it's been backed up to at least 4. No clue as to why everyone is out all of a sudden. And they play sloooowwww........🤬

      KCee It's just a local low level course in the middle of the city. Gets tons of play from leagues between 3:30 and closing and of course weekend play but earlier on weekdays it's usually open. They have 3 18's so plenty of times available. Usually I have to jump around some groups and go back and play the holes later but 2 hours is usually doable.

        Can't play golf right now. Several weeks ago I hurt my foot. After stepping out of a greenside bunker I did my usual tap my shoes with my wedge to get the sand out so I don't trapes sand on the green.

        Only this time I missed the sole of my shoe and banged my wedge above the sole and right on my foot. OUCH!!! Hurt for several minutes, but carried on with little trouble.

        Fast forward a few weeks after playing golf with no issues and all of a sudden I'm limping and the whole lower side of my right foot hurts and it runs up above my ankle. Tried to play golf, but had to quit after 9 holes. Hurt like a bastid.

        Made an appointment with an orthopedic doctor for next week to see what's going on. It feels like a bone contusion with a high ankle sprain. Weird there was such a delay in symptoms. Hopefully an x-ray will show no real damage.

          Played Poston Butte today in Florence AZ. Nice Troon course in excellent condition. 43-40 from 6400 yards. Had 10 fairways and only one bad miss on the 4 I didn't hit. 6 GIRS, which is good for me and 28 putts. I was +1 after 7 holes and +7 after 9 holes.🤬 I have been shooting decent lately and in the last month have taken my handicap from a 13.3 to a 10.9. Playing again tomorrow on my slump busting easy track.

          Typhoon Funny.....I see these old(er)guys out there playing from the reg. tees and always wonder WTH are you doing? Then they will step up and hit the ball around 230-250. Straight out there.
          Then I watch them hack & chop their way to the green, every green, for their bogies/double bogies. And just forget about ever hitting a Par 3 in reg.. (they should use a choked down driver) their iron games are shit. Oh and that.....they gotta hit irons all the way also, no woods for them.

          ....'gotta play the back tees because I'm so long!!!' SMFH

            Yesterday I’m watching one group that has a member in it, kid in his late 20’s. I look out and see people on the par 5 ahead of them probably 100 yards from the green. I’m about to say something because I have groups right behind them, and the kid gets up and kills one. Good swing, musta hit it it 300. The next 2 get up… one hits a hybrid with this slow shorty swing, next guys skulls an iron 100 yards.

            I said to them, “ ok you gotta be smart about this..Owen, you kill it, let the guys who can’t hit it 150 tee off first and then by the time you get to hit throws guys will be far out of your way. Don’t wait 10 minutes so you can hit first “. He says,” oh yeah… never thought of that…”

              Typhoon When playing with Jake, I often do this. I'll walk up to the forward tees and hit. And still have to wait so he can. Some holes we have to wait til the group is actually on the green! And still pray he doesn't hit someone.😄

                  Par4QC When used to play with a group of guys M/W/F at my old 9 holer, we had a “fixed batting order “ based off of how far you hit it. Longest guy hit last… even if he got a hole in one on the previous hole!

                    rsvman2 I got some of the unluckiest bounces ever too. Went OB 4 times and I was nowhere near close enough to go out. Didn't think i needed to hit provisionals and took 2 stroke penalties. Should have been in rough but I wonder if my new found distance hurt me.

                      38-40 at Las Colinas from 6000 yards today. 7 GIRS on the front nine, 3 on the back. Front nine was 7 pars 2 bogeys. Back nine was a roller coaster. Bogey, birdie, birdie, bogey start. Triple on 18🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. Good round that could have been excellent. Iron play was good,driver got loose on the back nine. 32 putts due to all the GIRS. Feels good to be playing solid again. I just need to eliminate the blow up holes.
