Got out for a round after a 2 week hiatus.

41-43 at the home course yesterday from 6590 yards. Had 6 birdie opportunities and didn’t make a single one of them 😡

10 pars, 4 ea. bogey & 4 doubles.

3 of the 4 doubles were due to being left off the tee box and in tree trouble…I continue to be an idiot by trying for too much on the punch outs 😡…the fourth double was a superb downhill lie skull out of a par 3 green side bunker that flew over the green and past the OB stakes 🤮

The reshafted Pinhawk PDI shined on a few holes yesterday…much better results built to 40” with untipped @LogicalOne 85S…195’ish carry on the solid strikes with good rollout afterwards…straightest stick in my bag right now when I need it.

I shot 38-40-78 today at Stone Ridge GC in Bowling Green, Ohio. The tough Arthur Hills course was in great condition, and I played one of my better rounds (2 over on the front, 2 over on the back through #17), only to dump
one in the water and double bogey the @#$&*% 18th hole. It's the #1 handicap hole, and I butcher it up every other time I play there.....🤬. Anyway, 9 GIR, 0 birdies, and 32 putts.

    I feel your pain. Was 2 over on the back on Sunday heading to 18. Tripled 18 after dumping my tee shot in the water that only required less than 100 yards to carry. Came right over the top of it with top spin. My re-tee only cleared the same pond by 10 yards after I hit the same shot almost!!! 🤬🤬🤬

      fatshot It must be fun to have a 35 yard shot from the front bunker towards the water on 18.

          I was having iron issues the last month. Lucky to find a green. Over the past 5 days I worked it out finding the flaw. Played our front 9 today and it was all fixed. Sorta suprised that I played so well actually 😂.
          Shot a -6 28. And parred the last 3 holes. Accuracy was great but distance control was a key. It’s was weird to pull off shots the way I pictured and have a good result.

          Made an eagle 2 on our par 4 3rd hole by holing it from 80 yards. Funny thing is I hit the shot exactly where and how I wanted to hit it.
          Every putt was inside 15 feet. The last 3 pars were makeable birdies and the other par 5 I lipped out the eagle.

          It was nuts.

            Tell ya what.....this guy has had his fill of those days. Never again.

                Agree!! I would've preferred that though to the penalty stroke I had to take for pulling it into the water!! 😞

                    Par4QC The guy that sets the cups pisses me off because he doesn’t put the metal thing over the new cup to tamp it down. All our cups are raised and a lot of putts fall off as they get to the cup.

                        Typhoon That's the case everywhere. It's the reason you see, on TV, the ball rolling perfectly and then just stop at the cup.
                        Open hole.....evaporation/drying out.....soil will rise.

                        And there will be a bump where they replaced the plug in the previous hole. Because they poured water on it.

                            Typhoon are you fucking shitting me??? Someone kick that guy for me, he's not even half assing the job.

                              88 with 44 putts, also couldn't chip. Only missed one fw but c'est la vie

                                Typhoon That happens at our course. They have 2, but one doesn't have the metal plate and you can usually tell which 9 was done with which.....except when they don't use the plate with either hole cutter.

                                Cracks me up because for 2+ seasons now they have been using new hole locations to let the standard pin locations heal.
