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...

Weirfan Time to move full time to AZ?? It is a tad warmer year around

That is a nice thought.
Weather here is enjoyable. We can comfortably golf pretty much 8 months ( April through end of November) with the fringes being meh.
I have talked about spending a couple months in winter in Zona, when the kids are done University maybe. Son wraps up his 4 year Computer Science degree in December. Daughter who got her BSc , just decided to do another degree. She wants to be a golf course Super and was accepted into the only Uni program up here that offers. So 2 more years of those bills to get away from.

38 39 today (77). 14 of 14 fairways. 1 birdie, 6 bogeys for 5 over. I have no idea why I played so well. This game continues to baffle me.

sdandrea1 Nice to see you back in the 70’s!

Typhoon Nice to see you back in the 70’s!

Thanks John. Felt great. I won 3 of the 4 bets. We play quota points with 4 bets. 1st 6 holes, middle 6, last 6 and total. I made 29 points today on a quota of 20, so my new quota will go up before the next round.

Sparky

Off the tee - great. 13/14 fairways.
Irons - great. 13 GIR.
Chipping - good. 3/6
Sand - great 1/1
Putting - 32 putts, made nothing over 4 feet. Ugh.

Sparky So, a 72?

Slumpbuster, 41-41-82. Birdied 18 for the second round in a row. Still hitting some shanks from 50 ish yards.
Second round in a row where I played all hybrid set. Still not sold on the 9- pw- gw. And definitely don't like them for short chips when you have to get the ball up.

Sparky

DonM Nope, 74. Tried to carry a bunker on the longest Par 4, missed it by 5 feet and cost me a double. Had a new putter that developed a little loose wiggle in the hosel area - bothered me. Got worse over the round, and by the end could move the head ever so slightly. Need to take that apart and figure it out.

Typhoon

Guy I texted to play with me never showed up or texted back so I went out myself. By the 5th hole I caught up to 4 drunks from one of our Thursday nite leagues. Joined them. Had a good time playing with them, good guys, love seeing them every week when they come in.

I only planned on 9 but I played the 18 with them. They’re drinking, smoking weed, in no hurry😂.

Typhoon Could you not just said "joined with a foursome" we already know all the players and their status at any given hole😎

81, 41/40
Hard course for me to break 80 on, so I'm good with that score.

Only 52* when we started and 59* when we finished, so never tried beating the temp today.🤣

Nothing to brag about, never kept track of any stats. I did have 2-3 drives that were my longest ever on those holes, on that course. Made no sense with the weather. And I was using a Penley Tour Light, S flex shaft!!

Par4QC Penley Tour Light was one of my favorite shafts!! My actually favorite Penley!

Par4QC

Typhoon I used to get them from Rob, wayyy back when he started HOF. Him and Carter were(are??) good buddies.
Penley Tour Light & Harrison Striper were my 2 'go to' shafts. I have some new Stripers also; a couple are already in 455DB heads. Had 1 out a couple weeks ago and they are still an awesome combo!

Also have a couple Stealths, but are painted the colors for the old Ruger heads, gold/dark blue. At 72g they get a bit heavy now.😖

I’ve wasted the whole month of October, with excellent weather, on the injured list.

First I had a 3 inch incision on my arm to remove a skin cancer. Golfing was not allowed while it healed. Then on the day I got the sutures removed, I managed to split open a part of the incision while working on my golf cart. So more delays for further healing.

Now that I’m okay to play, I’ve had bronchitis for several days, following a cold. Going to get into the doc or urgent care tomorrow.

I had been hoping to play 100 rounds this year, but that’s not going to happen.

Hang in there, DonM.....better days ahead! 👍

81 today in my quota game. Won the middle 6 and the total. New quota is 26.

garyt1957

Played yesterday, shot 83. Lost several shots to shanked chips again. Drove it great. Last round with the high lofted hybrids I think. May restart them and revisit.

DonM

What's happened to all of our golfers here? Where is everybody?

Par4QC

DonM 😄Can you read/understand this, knowing what mph means?? They are talking gusts of over 40-50.
I may still go out. I'll just tuck my shirttail in to keep from ballooning.🤣

We did play Saturday. Only 52* at start....coldest temp I've ever played in. Only 59* when done. Wind was up a bit also, so not many problems with leaves on greens. But, can't believe how nice it was out there.

DonM Last week was soo nice, I played 3 9 hole rounds of 27,30 and 30. Then Friday I played 18 and shot 60. Could be it for the year even though the end of this week will be warm. Trying to resist going out.

DonM The weather is changing and the days are getting shorter.

DonM I quit playing in early August when it was hot and by the time I started playing again in late September I had lost interest in discussing anything about my lousy golf rounds. 🙂
