Typhoon but it ends up just not being golf.

…. Like using Handy Sandies. 🥴

Went around my little course 2x today.
1st 9 was 5 over with one double bogey and 5 pars.
The 2nd was the same score 5 over with one triple bogey, one double bogey, two birdies, 3 pars.

I shot 39-42-81 this morning at Bedford Hills GC in Temperance, MI. I played OK the front, but fell apart on the back.
8 GIR, 35 putts, 0 birdies, and I got up and down from off the green only ONE time ouf of 8......terrible chipping! 🤬

Today was day 1 of 2 of the club championship. I shot 78 net 73 which puts me in 4th both gross and net. First gross had 73 and first net 71. Bear in mind we’re all 55+, we don’t have any scratch or better index guys here.

I had no birdies but no doubles. I missed a 5 footer for birdie. It had some break, but I made a crap stroke. Too much thinking. 3 great shots wasted.

Had to cut it to 9 holes due to my wife’s sore shoulder. A great day to be alive in the outdoors, not a great score with 48. Hit 6 very good drives, but the only green in regulation and only par was on a 175 yard second shot up the hill with a 4 wood rolling 20 feet past the hole. Played on a course with a 128/69.7 slope/rating from the white tees, which is above my pay grade. I love to play it though. Just over swinging the irons on most of my swings and combined it with a really sucky short game.

Whoever was inhabiting my body today did not know how to putt.
I shot 86 with 38 putts, and that is not counting the ones from the fringe. I had three 7's on the card, all involving 3 or 4 putts. I hit 9 greens, which should yield about a 77. It was the worst putting day for me in a long, long time.

Oh well, shit happens.

Fall Shootout today. I sucked. No idea where the driver was going. Shot 91 but my 19 index partner shot 80, his PB, and we qualified. True alternate shot with final 10 teams and we breezed thru the first fee holes before we fell apart. Our first Shootout we didn't place. Bound to happen I guess.

13 FWs
9 GIRs
2 birdies (with 4-5 missed short by an inch or 2!)
1 bogey(on a Par 3, of all places)
26 putts....and I'm complaining that was too many!!

Best round in a few years; hit every club really good, even the new 455DB, 8*. Did not get the height of the old days, but they went as far as I've been hitting lately; a couple to new spots. And anyone that says those heads are not forgiving......I was all over the face...see FWs hit above.😉

Oh yeah......-1.....71. 😲

    Much different day today. I shot 74 with 34 putts, including 3 three putts. The greens are running faster now, and that is pretty darn fast. It's easy to run one too far past the hole.
    But also 3 birdies. 13 GIR. No doubles.

    Where was this on the second day of the CC?

    This is the approach shot on 1 for the A player and me:

      Nice..... who got the 'greenie' ? 😉

        Another scramble today. Pretty hard and long course. Very tight. We shot -10 which was good considering one guy hasn’t played since before Covid and was awful anyway. Took 7 practice swings, every one with a divot … divots with his driver as well. Then he’s hit it 50 yards. Putted like he was blindfolded. Second place.

          Par4QC Even I can make that birdie putt. 🙂

          I shot 37-35-72 this morning at Ottawa Park GC in Toledo, Ohio. Just one of those days when EVERYTHING was
          working right, I guess. It helps that Ottawa Pk, being built at the turn of the last century is shorter than most of the courses we play (5100 yards), so lots of 7-8-9-W approaches into the greens. 14 GIR, 3 birdies, and 33 putts.

            Snuck out to the slumpbuster after my 12 hour shift at the rehab facility. Should have gone home to sleep but what the hell.
            Played the up tees at 5500 yards. 37 -40-77. 8 Fws. 6 GIR, 30 putts.
            Coming way over the top on pretty much everything. Missed the green from 80-100 yards like 3-4 times.
            Added my score 3 times because it felt more like lower 80s.
