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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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😂.

      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!

          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.

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

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

            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 😄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.

            Played a 2 man scramble yesterday. Was a bit too cold for me early on, but did warm up a bit. I used the last of my pro shop credit for new mittens and a toasty warm jacket.

            I either hit a spectacular shot or an awful one. My partner was about the same, but luckily we only had 2 holes where we both stunk at the same time.

            Didn't realize they were making it a greenskeepers revenge thing, but there were some unique pin positions. Don't recall ever 3 putting in a scramble, but we did so 5-6 times and we were not alone. Apparently there were 2 separate 8-putts....in a scramble. Was kind of funny, but it also slowed the round down a LOT 😡
