How did you shoot today at Golf
Oh happy day! Been feeling like I was getting close to clicking for a few months now. Got off to a good start, -2 through 4, then added a couple more bogeys and birdies on the front to stay at -2. Putt fooled me twice on #10 for a 3 putt bogey. Driver started to vanish on 12, but my hybrids came alive to keep the pars going. Rolled in a 15 foot bird on 17 to get back to -2. 18 is a short par 5, but the dogleg left does not play well with my fade. 3w off the tee for safety, but still couldn't keep it out of the trees right. Get to the ball, and two small trees are all that is there, but it completely blocks me. Could pitch back to the fairway left and have 200 in. Decide to take a 4h down the adjacent fairway, then hit a great 8i over the trees to 20 feet for an easy par. Whew! Lowest round in 5 years.
as I just got in from the 13* temp...W/C 3. And a bit of ice/snow on my car.
82 with 2 double bogeys. One guy won the 1st 6, another won the middle 6, I won the last six. All 3 of us hit our quota on the number. Zero $ changed hands. Nice sunny winter day.
46/46 yesterday. It was 40 degrees and overcast when we teed off at 8:00 am. It gradually warmed up to mid 50s and partly sunny, but those first few holes were cold. I think I only had 3 GIR. No birdies but a couple nice par saves. One was a 50 foot chip that rolled softly into the pin and somehow didn't go in, and the other was a 40 yard pitch to 6 feet that I made. Of course there were some bad shots, too, lol. I hit 2 balls into the creek on the last hole to card my only triple bogey. It was fun getting out, though.
Working indoor golf tomorrow 9-1 so I’ll be hitting balls all morning. Maybe a sim round if one is open.
Had a 4-some today in the fog/clouds. We had a tie on the 1st 6 holes, I won the 2nd, 3rd and the total by 2 strokes. Not sure what I shot, but I made 25 quota points. Close contest, but I'm up $4
Another round today where I didn't notice that my rangefinder was on M and not Y until hole 14. Could not understand why my irons were coming up 10-15 yards short. Stoopid.

Played in a 4 man scramble yesterday, about 60 guys showed up for our men's league year end finale.
The really cool part was our new Yamaha carts have the YamaTrack GPS.
It has a scoring feature where you can see every teams score in real time.
We played like crap, still had 8 birdies but 2 bogeys and finished in 3rd place, 1st flight.
Plus surprisingly only took a little over 4hrs. to finish the round!
Had the unexpected confluence of time off from work and beautiful weather, so I headed to our local muni to play 9. It was crazy crowded, as you can imagine; we don't get that many 65-degree days in late December and when pretty much everybody is off work.
The round started with a horrible shot but ended with an absolutely fantastic one. I missed the first fairway wide right by about 40 yards.
On the 9th hole I had 82 yards for my approach shot, uphill, with a left-to-right wind. I had been hitting a little draw witu my irons all day, and I thought that the wind and my little draw might offset about perfectly, so I took aim at the flag with my A wedge.
I hit it solidly and right on line. I said 'be the right club.' I saw the ball land very close to the hole and i thought I was going to have a tap-in birdie. Well, I wasn't sure, but it looked like the ball was still moving and it looked like it was less than a couple of inches away. At that point, I said 'Go in the hole!,' but not expecting that it actually would, but then the ball just disappeared into the bottom of the cup for eagle!
I have been playing golf for 54 years and today was the very first time that has happened for me! I was extremely excited.
It was also my second eagle of the year; I made a one-putt eagle at a short par four in Utah in September.
