Hang in there and get stronger. Enjoy just being out there. 
How did you shoot today at Golf
sdandrea1 They are saying that if you hit nine greens, the upper end of the expected score is 79, which is seven over at most courses.
So, they are assuming you two-putt at worst on all the greens you hit, and that you get up and down twice on the other nine holes, meaning you would be allowed two putts on the other seven greens you missed.
Total putts 34 to score 79, 30 putts to score 75, qt the low end of your 'expected' score.
No double chips.
You're back in the game, Bill!!
Hammer4413 Nice Bill!!
Hammer4413 Happy for you that you were able to get back out there. I would probably have planned 9 holes for my first time back; not surprising that you got tuckered out by the 14th hole.
Still, fantastic news that you were able to get back at it!

Awesome man!

Played the original course at The Villages, Orange Blossom. Shot 93 with 40! putts! This is ridiculous. I have absolutely no control of speed, and can't hit my line. Indifferent chipping isn't helping. Actually hit the ball reasonably well. but only hit 3 GIRs. Just embarrassing.
Remarkably my hdcp has remained at 10.7 but 7 of the next 9 rounds are counted in my best so it is going to explode upward pretty soon.
garyt1957 Man went the doctor with severe headaches. Doctor could find no reason but told him sometimes men's nuts caused such things. Only way to alleviate the headaches would be removal of them. The man was in agony and said to do it. A couple weeks later, free from headaches, he felt like he needed a lift in spirits. So he went shopping for new clothes. Picked out a nice suit, shirt, etc.. The salesman reminded him to get new underwear and asked what size. 32 the man said. Well, I think you need 36 at least said the salesman. The man told him he had worn 32 for several years. The salesman said that may well be, but wearing underwear too small will squeeze your nuts and give you severe headaches.
IOW, are you sure you want to keep visiting us doctors here for putting advice?
garyt1957 In all seriousness if your speed is horrible, which it sounds like it is, then you may want to adjust your focus before you stroke the putt. On chips, pitches and putts I tend to get too focused on the hole. I constantly pitch it right at the hole, but really I wanted to land it short of the hole; now I'm 10 ft past 
I was never as bad with putts, but I wasn't good. Can't remember where I read the tip (Stockton or Pelz), but the more uphill a putt was the more I would focus past the hole and the more downhill the more I would focus short of the hole. I just found that even though I knew where I wanted to hit the ball I was constantly refocusing on the hole and that could throw me off. More so on a pitch than a putt, but off is off. Just my $.02 and sorry if you've heard it all before.
Shot a 41 on the front 9 at this place during simulator league last night. Managed a birdie out of the gate on #1 but the well went dry after that
My parents moved to the Villages in 1987. I've played that course MANY times. My late uncle's house is on one of the fairways.
