How did you shoot today at Golf

I figured we could have a thread on golf rounds. I'll go 1st. Played Whirlwind Cattail course today. I was hitting the driver far. Pushing 290-300 75% of...

I have a handful of very nice putters, I just don't always use them properly 😞 You can never have too many though

KCee it's even a nice logicalone blade putter.

49, 39 today. Good grief. 🙄

The upside: 14/14 fairways. Two birdies, the first of which was a 3" putt. Closest I've been to an Eagle in a long time. Only one 3-putt green, the rest were 1 or 2 putts

That front 9 score included some of the worst shots I've ever hit.

82 at Tarpon Springs. No birdies. Had a nice draw going all day with the driver. Hit several good shots with the other clubs. Compressed my wedges real well. Putted like crap though. Never made a putt.

The feel I had before my months long hiatus is still alluding me. But we'll keep searching for it. It's in there somewhere. lol

Sneakylong It's in there somewhere.

I hit 2 iron shots today that felt like magic. Solid effortless high flying iron shots. One was a 9 iron that led to the tap-in birdie and the other a 140 yard 6 iron that ended up 5 feet from the hole. Both with PING ZING2 irons. I have no idea how or why I did that but "it's in there somewhere." 😉

sdandrea1 "it's in there somewhere."

Yep, inside each and every one of us is one........

sdandrea1 have no idea how or why I did that but "it's in there somewhere."

The difference being for several months I had a repeatable feel that led to the best ball striking evah. Because I shortened and flattened my swing.

There’s hints of it, but before there was no thinking. Anyway, I too hit some great shots today. Hit some really solid irons using the Marcus Emblad right palm down. Great compression.

The hybrids are still a little off though. Those were spot on before. Driving on the other hand was spectacular. Brother in law gave me a dozen Pro V1’s. Put one in play on the back 9 today. Would never buy them myself, but for free I’ll play them.

44/41 for one of my best rounds in a long time. Drove the ball decently, 11 of 13 fairways, 30 putts. Pretty decent around the greens. Struggled a bit from the fairways.

It was a nice day, mid to upper 60's but overcast. Got aound in about 3:45.

I might have only hit 10 fairways. On one hole the cart path is right up against the fairway and my ball ended up on the cartpath. My drop was in the fairway so I figure if I'm playing my second shot from the fairway I must have hit it. Where I ended up is about where I want to be on that hole anyhow.

Took a ride to River Ridge GC down by Mohegan Sun casino yesterday. Shot 44 + 45 so not so good. Struggled with the driver and 3-jacked quite a few times on the slow greens. On the positive side the round was only about 4 hours, it didn't rain, had a great meal at MJ's steakhouse and gambled for a few hours after and walked away up $40.

KCee very nice!

I shot 41-38-79 this morning at Detwiler Park GC in Toledo, Ohio. It's an Arthur Hills layout that has "suffered" through 3 different management companies in the last 6 years or so, but this current one seems to be getting it right.....the course was in VERY good condition today. My round was nothing exciting.....9 GIR, 0 birdies, 35 putts.

42, 44. Meh.

Messed up day again like the whole week. Was supposed to rain all day, not a drop. Nick took the car so I took his to play 9. Shot a 30. 4 under. Irons were my big concern because I really didn’t have a grasp on what was working until today. Driver was passable, didn’t really hit anything bad, just nothing really solid.

Sneakylong

Typhoon Shot a 30

How many 59’s or lower have you shot? Seems like when your swing is on that would be easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

My wife was feeling a little better so I was able to sneak out for a quick round. I'm still stiff and sore but I think I'm OK other than that.
Didn't have the confidence to follow through early on and was hitting liners. Started bogey, double, bogey. 43 on the front. Got it going on the back a bit, shot 39 for an 83. Felt good to get out and see how I'd feel.Going to try basketball tomorrow.

Typhoon

garyt1957 Glad you got out!

Got a break from the rain. Shot a 43 in league play. Tied into the last hole, missed a 4 footer to win my match, so we ended up tied. Third 43 in a row on Thursday nights.

Sneakylong Twice… I’ve shot 58 and 59. I shot those at a longer Par 70 course, although much more open and in better shape. At that course I hit a higher number of short irons.

My course par is 69 and I know I’ve broken 60 but for some reason, maybe because it’s a par 69, I don’t remember it as a huge thing. The year before last I think I played our front 9 in -8 and didn’t bother playing the back 9 because I had to be in work. Another time I remember a great back 9 where I birdied in from 14 but don’t remember how many under I was on the front 🙄🤣.

Because of whatever job or combo of jobs I have that day I usually only play 9. I never have a whole day off during the season unless I ask.
