How did you shoot today at Golf

I figured we could have a thread on golf rounds. I'll go 1st. Played Whirlwind Cattail course today. I was hitting the driver far. Pushing 290-300 75% of...

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:

Eguller He did. I had the yellow ball.

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. 🙂

KCee So it was a tournament for the blind. You could try the putting challenge, 3 balls for $20 wearing a blindfold. It was a 10 footer. He did it, I watched while our other guy went back to his car for more marijuana.

The guy looks like Danny Noonan peeking under the blindfold to line up and then blasting it 30 feet past the cup. In the meantime, the other guys gets back with the pot. I asked if it was for glaucoma 😂.

We start playing again. We have a 15 foot uphill putt for birdie. The guy who tried then blindfolded putt hits it off the green and into the rough. Had to have hit it 20 feet past the cup AND uphill. I said to him , “ Jesus Christ… you still got the blindfold on?”

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.

fatshot Great playing!

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.

Typhoon Sounds like a fun day! I have to play a scramble this Saturday at my club. Stupidly agreed to sub if people couldn't make it and figured I was safe since last week everyone was accounted for.

Getting stuck with 2 brothers that actually can golf, but are raging alcoholics. We tee off at noon and these guys will be tailgating at 10am and fall down drunk before the back 9. At least I only have to pay for the cart and I get a free steak dinner.

Nope, I had 45 one time. Tough course, I had probably my best ball striking round ever. Hit every FW and 14 GIR. 40 total strokes tee to green and 45 putts for an 85! And some of those were 5 footers for birdie that ended up 3 putts.

KCee Sounds like a typical weekend round at our place except for the part where they are decent golfers

Tuesday Oct. 1, 2024......not a good day for golf. As I played it anyway. 🤣

Only got to mid 60s tempwise and a howling wind of 20+mph. But, no excuses.
Well, maybe just 1....I played from the back tees with everyone else. A few 100 yds. might have made that big diff.?

44/44....88.

Hit driver(s) fine. Actually hit the 20+ yr. old generic irons good also. End of story.

Played a course we had not been to in over 20 years, and scored about the same as then. Pretty little 9 holer/twice around course out in the boonies. Family owned/run operation since the 70's.
The course was in the best condition of any course I've played the last several years. Nice greens and not much in the way of ballmarks this late in season. FWs closely cut; something I'm not used to. I'll go back on a better day to see how the scoring goes.

Today, we head out to a course we've not played....Fyre Lake (@ode). A bit warmer, a bit less wind(hopefully). Details to follow, maybe pics. I'll ~~take~~ relish a score under 90 on this course.
