How did you shoot today at Golf
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! 
rsvman2 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.
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.
Played Ozarks National in Missouri today. It's a Coore-Crenshaw track, and it is spectacular.
It was somewhat cold at our tee time, and the wind picked up throughout the round, blowing 20-30 mph most of the round. So we were layered up.
Tough track, especially in those conditions. I hit the ball pretty well, for the most part. Shot 38 on the front, but ballooned to a 44 on the back, which is much longer and more difficult anyway, and we played it in much higher winds.
Overall, I was pretty happy with the way I played.

Payne's Valley today. Better weather, with less wind. Beautiful views from the course.
Hit it worse than yesterday and scored a full six strokes higher. Some of that felt a little bit like getting screwed, though. For example, a fairly good iron shot that looked like it would hold the edge of a very narrow green takes one more roll and then goes down a very steep slope, leaving an almost impossible chip shot. On the 18th I took one club too much for the approach, flushed it right at the flag, but that ended up off the back in fairly long rough. Decided to belly a wedge up there gently. The shot looked almost perfect, and almost stopped about three feet from the hole. Thereafter, it picked up steam and rolled for another 50 feet, leaving, instead of a kick-in par, a very difficult two-putt for bogey.
Anyway, it was still a good time, and the scenery from the course is absolutely amazing. And yes, I hit the green at the 19th hole and had a tap-in par.
Playing Mountain Top tomorrow. Watched a guy hit a hole in one there tonight right after our round.

My local PB DYE course (The Gauntlet) features this design (flaw) on nearly every hole.
