How did you shoot today at Golf

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.

( sim golf mind you)

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.

I wish I was bagging. I need my swing unfucked.

Maybe time for a winter break from golf?

KCee Maybe time for a winter break from golf?

I just took 5 weeks off for snow closure. That's most of the problem. I'll find a swing

Read that thread. Not going back in.

sdandrea1 Yeah you need to keep expectations really low after a long layoff. I haven't swung a club since early November and have a golf trip coming up in 3 weeks and I'm expecting to suck. On the plus side no one else going on the trip has probably played either.

I'm looking at the positives of playing badly. I will probably get at least 5-6 rounds in on this trip, I think I can post them and I have 3 low rounds immediately dropping off my index. I may start the season at my club a few strokes higher myself

Got another 9 holes in today. Played the Blue (senior) tees (5200 yards). Looks like this will be the appropriate box for my wimpy tee distance. Finished in 5 over par with 3 par putts just missing, but they would have been 1-putt pars, and we're not short putts. I was hitting the ball much better, but still struggling to reach greens in regulation. I managed to par 4 holes, and bogied 5. Walked behind a push cart.

sdandrea1 Sounds like the perfect set of tees

Big hitter! 5200 yds for 9 holes!!!

Got out to play one of the free executive courses at The Villages. It was actually a nice set up, attractive holes. First swing of the day was a beauty from 140 to 3 feet. Made the birdie. Birdied the second hole too but that shot wasn't too pretty. Hit it on the ground the whole way to about another 3 feet, lol. A birdie's a birdie. A couple pars then mostly bogies to finish two over for 9. Glad to get the rust off for today's round at a full course.

There's some pretty good eateries over at the Brownwood Station Town Center. There's a really GOOD Golf Store there called Golf Central. Check 'em out!
