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.

                    MidwayJ Seems like ball striking is good too, if the putting was a little better you’d have cleaned up.

                        Typhoon A lot of par 4s seem to be going like this: Decent drive, mediocre approach, good pitch or chip, then what the hell will I do with the putter. LOL.

                          Played 7 holes yesterday at my new (old) course in 7 over par. I forgot what pristine turf conditions were like. Now if I could find a golf swing. My index has gone from 11.4 to 15.8 in 6 months and is now on a Soft Cap. 🤬
