60* day here today and played a course I don’t typically play in the spring/summer months. Shot a comfortable 82 with a triple bogey 7 on the 10th hole.

One one of the par 5’s I had 190 into the green. I decided to use my newly acquired paradym 7 wood (I tried to choke down and hit it easier)
But hit an absolute piss missile over the green. Had to hit my next shot left handed due to being next to a tree. Hit two really good shots with this club today. Really happy with it! Thanks pappy @Par4QC

    colej had 190 into the green. I decided to use my newly acquired paradym 7 wood

    Thug life!!😲

    I never hit that thing past 150. Of course, that is all I even bought it for, was 150.
    So I had that going for me. 😖

        colej I could maybe get more from it, but it's the yardage I wanted, so I just learned how to hit full swing and nail it(closely). Remember, I play a lot of rounds with Jake, so it never bothers me to see how far someone else hits any club. 5wd from the rough, over trees, from 250+ doesn't faze me anymore. Even when it hits the green.
        That bastard.

          Shot 46-39 today. I was very happy with that back 9 (Birdie on #10 and nothing worse than a bogey). Funny, on the front nine I missed 2 par putts from 4-5 feet but on the back nine I made 2 15 footers for par and the birdie was from about 20 feet.

          Edit. It was great to get out and walk the course on an unseasonably warm day. It's going to be quite a bit colder a few days from now.

            MidwayJ nice shooting! What are you putting with these days?

                ode Thanks! I'm using a Yes Eleanor that's been in the bag for quite awhile. I also have a Yes Penny that I occasionally rotate in. I guess I'm fond of the "C groove" face, lol. The most recent new putter I bought was an Odyssey Marxman a couple years ago, but I ended up not liking it so I gave it to my son-in-law.

                  Played men's club tournament today. Shotgun start, hole 8. Started par, par, double bogey. Ended up 46/43-89. Before he is factored in for whatever final score. I got to break 90 properly, straight up.
                  My driver was working well. The last hole is a 397 par 4. When I ranged the pin for my approach shot, I was 133 away. I don't think I got much roll on that drive, ball flight was high. Then I doubled that hole 😝

                    Typhoon yep, a beautiful drive that was 260ish total yardage. Then I push a 9 iron to the right of the green, chip on, and 3 putt. All in all, I'm surprised at how well I did. I didn't feel like I played that well. I played some dumb shots, yet got away with them. 6 double bogeys, and 5 singles. My driving was really good today, I'll see if I can pull it out the next full 18 course I play and see if it's still working.

                      Well, I just saw results of last week's men's club tournament. I won my flight.

                      So I almost paid for my entire round. The round, $10 mandatory buy in put me to about $80, I also tossed $20 into the skins, and closest to the pin contests as well.
                      Shit, I'm just happy to have played well, even though I didn't think I was.

                        Thanks, I had a really good round that day. My driver was on. I only lost 1 ball ob and that was on a 2nd shot on hole 5.

                        Typhoon. You say that like it's odd or something?

                          Typhoon Double bogey from 133…

                          In the groups I play in, most double bogeys occur from short game errors.

                            Shot 46/47 in the Wednesday league. My chipping and short pitches were good but I couldn't putt. I missed four par save putts from 4-8 feet. Also had two 3-putt doubles and one 3-putt triple. Finished 4 strokes out of the money in my flight.

                            Today I shot 48/39. I hacked up the first two holes and started triple double, but the putter came alive on the back nine. I made 4 par saves from the 8-12 foot range and didn't have anything worse than a bogey. Where was that in the league on Wednesday, lol.

                            A cold front is coming in this weekend so it was nice to get a couple rounds in this week.
