How did you shoot today at Golf
Played out back 9 which I rarely play. I usually only have time for 9 holes between jobs and go off the front. This time of year not many day time midweek 18 holers so I got out on the back. It’s tougher than the front… tricky, hardly use driver. It’s an ugly 9. Most of the holes were added to make it an 18 hole course. It’s cut through the woods and it’s visually ugly… still stumps in the rough
. Anyway… shot -2. Still not happy with my irons at that time. More ugly shots on the green but that was the only good thing about them. Went to the range afterwards with only a 9 iron. I know I keep thinking I found the problem but this time I did, it was my set up and just having one club with me was a good idea
Played a fund-raising scramble today at Virginia Beach National with three guys who aren't very good. The weather was perfect.
I played pretty well. The driver was particularly good. We went 7 under, and two of those were my solo birdies.
All in all, a great time.
After I posted about yesterday's scramble, I remembered that it wasn't two but three of our birdies that were my solo birdies.
Also, tee to green, over the first four holes we took my shot four out of eight times; thereafter, the team took my shot 21 times; the other three guys combined contributed 7 shots total. And yes, my shoulders are a little sore from carrying the team all the way around.
Funniest part is that this was the second tournament in a row that my team would have won the second flight if we had just been one shot worse. So we ended up tied for last place in the first flight, instead.

In my last 2 scrambles, our team was last in the first flight 
. In both cases, had we missed one birdie, we'd have won the 2nd flight. This "divide the total entries equally into 3 groups" is just plain luck for winning a flight.
Temp was 75 when I finished and that let me shoot 1 under....38/36.
This was on a 'short' course though
, where I played a mix of senior and middle tees around 5700 total.
Darkspeed X driver & $7/doz. Maxfli StraightFli (orange)balls were the shits paired together!

I've heard of flights in tournaments but thought it was based on handicaps, ie 1st flight is 0-5 handicaps 2nd flight is 6-10 etc. But your saying the second flight just starts at a certain point? Like the top 10 finishers are the 1st flight then the next ten are the 2nd flight etc? That sounds like the dumbest thing ever to me?

garyt1957 Our local Am Tour does it the same way. No handicaps used, eliminates the urge to cheat. Putting down a lower score may cost you a 'win'. Decent payouts there. Charity tourneys use the method. Just about any tournament that does not use handicaps use it. Or should. No one gets beat up feeling like they shot poorly. Makes it fun for all involved.
My hometown tourney is a 3 day deal, but you only play 18, all in 1 day. Little 9 hole-twice around and town pop. of 2600....they get that many entries. Been that way for 70 years, & Pros used to come in to play. iirc, 1st place now is $500. Only in the last 10 years have they gone to a senior division. And it is flighted also, even if under 20 enter.
garyt1957 Yep. If I had lipped out the 25-foot birdie putt on hole 7 instead of draining it, we would have won the second flight.
The last time this happened to me it was even funnier... the guy who kept score wrote down a par on a hole where we actually made birdie, and he turned in the card with the wrong score. Charles comes up to me after the round, angry that the other guy turned in the wrong score. So I told him if lt bothered him that much, he should go let the officials know that we actually scored one shot better than the card showed. So he did.
And we would have won $75 in the pro shop if he had left well enough alone. 
Played in a scramble tournament at a local golf course with 3 buddies. We shot 10 under, but left a couple
of putts on the lip...!!! Oh well.....still had a good time in great fall weather, and each guy made $10 bucks!!
Not well enough to count. Fortunately my son forgot to record the score for a few holes so I don't actually know the total, but it wasn't worth knowing anyway. A bright, sunny, and actually fairly hot day. Course was good, greens were fast, the group 3 ahead of us definitely weren't either.
Back to the slumpbuster. 38-36-74. 2 hours. Didn't do anything special but if you keep the ball in play and putt reasonably you'll score. Hit 9 GIR and 30 putts.
And finally breached single digits. This is the ultimate vanity cap. Won't travel for shit but I can say I've hit single digits for the first time in 15-20 years.
Improved my last score by 2 strokes with a 92 today. The golf swing seems like a foreign movement. 2 pars, 12 bogeys and 4 doubles. Beautiful weather. Got around in 2 hours playing the dew loop alone.
