How did you shoot today at Golf

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

KCee I don’t want to turn this into an advice thing because the last 2 guys we gave advice to never came back… north BC and Don

sdandrea1 Ugh… I can feel the dark cold and rising in a cart. Brrrr

Typhoon

T shirt, sweater and a wind shirt. Stocking cap, flannel-lined pants. Felt great.

rsvman2 I think the Sims vary a bit too. I've played on a few different ones now and they all seem pretty accurate on full shots, but some widely vary with bunker shots, shots from rough and pitches/chips from rough. Some places provide a lot of different height plastic cones for tees while others don't give you much choice.

We played one last weekend and selected the Copperhead at Innisbrook. We couldn't figure out what it really wanted us to do from bunkers or rough either. In the end we think it wanted a 10 yard bunker shot to be like a 15 yard pitch whereas the last Sim we played wanted like a 30 yard shot for the same 10 yard bunker shot.

The ones around here are a bit pricey IMO. They all remind me of TopGolf a bit where it's fun and you can have drinks, but it costs too much to do regularly.

Played Tierra Del Sol at the Villages today. Beautiful well maintained course. The putting green was as fast as anything I've ever experienced, I think. I hit some 20 footers that I literally took like a 3" backswing and just touched them and they got there. Luckily the course greens while still really fast weren't quite that fast.
I had an exceptional day on the greens with 30 putts and I had a ton of 30 footers that are usually sure 3 putts. Just missed holing a 50 footer by about 2". I was 2 over after 7 holes and then just lost it for 5 holes. Pushing drives right, weak second shots, then got it back and finished strong. Ended up 42-45-87 but that bad 5 hole stretch killed me. Fantastic day, played with a great couple from Quebec.

Was sitting around doing nothing waiting on the rain. Decided to go to the practice green 3 minutes from the house. When I got there the executive course was empty so I played instead. Started out pretty blah with a par and two bogeys then played the next 9 holes in one under! Two birdies and a bogey, the rest pars.
I feel like if I lived here full time I could really improve my game. With a practice green a 3 minute golf cart ride from home and the ability to jump on an executive course late in the day for free would be pretty cool. At home, I'm not driving 30 minutes to get to a practice facility.
I putted quite well again today and my chipping/ pitching is improving. Highlight was a birdie on a par 4 where I hit a wedge from 105 to 3".

Florida is golf friendly for sure

Can’t believe the people that worked there were no help when you asked them

Typhoon There was just 1 guy running the whole show and he was fetching beers for players too. We initially had to ask him how to get the thing off of AIM mode into SHOT mode, but after that we just didn't bother.

I noticed this SIM didn't like my wedge shots, but thought highly of my longer clubs. I hit a couple 210 yard 5 hybrids (probably not), but couldn't hit my PW over 95 yards (usually ₁₂₀ for me).

garyt1957 I hit a wedge from 105 to 3".

KCee There is a place that opened in Billerica and it’s like that with help…. The kid tending bar is also on SIM duty. Doesn’t work too well.

Depending on the Sim and if ball /clubhead data is measured or calculated, you will get what you got. Our Sims would read driver distance too low, but our system breaks down adjustments. We can adjust driver, mid irons, short irons. So our settings have driver boosted so it reads correctly

Typhoon Honestly it was fine for me and fun. I normally prefer the covered range with the shot tracer, but it's been so cold that going there is not fun. The overhead heater just doesn't cut it and hitting a white ball out into the white snow is tough to track. That said I may hit some balls there tomorrow before the trip to try to stay loose.

KCee I’m at our place 3 days a week working but I hit balls while I’m working. Towards the end of the night usually a couple friends come by and we play. I like using it just to keep swinging and make sure ballflight looks ok
