How did you shoot today at Golf
44/46 this afternoon. Our group struggled mightily with super fast greens. I hit the ball well on the front 9 (5 gir) but only parred 2 of them. Twenty-two putts! It wasn't so bad on the back but I stopped hitting good iron shots and only had 2 gir.
51/44 today. On the 5th hole I started yanking everything left. I was 12 over par on the last 5 holes of the front 9. I somehow got the swing back on #10 and played the first 7 holes of the back 9 at 2 over par. At that point I was quite happy with the turnaround but carded an 8 on the par 4 #17 and missed a 2.5 footer for bogey on the last. Damn game.
Another nice day, another 83. 7 greens and 31 putts. 5 one putts and no three putts. I played the par 3s great and the par 5s like shit. So that’s a switch. Full swing has been pretty sketchy, but putting has been very good after a recent change in my approach to it. Especially since the greens are so damn fast.
I feel like it wouldn’t take much at all to get back into the 70s, but I just can’t keep all the plates spinning.
Played last Saturday, haven't pulled my clubs out of the truck since. It has been wet and rainy since Monday, storm should be past tomorrow or Saturday. Just over 4" so far this week....

81 at Tarpon Springs. Three of us this morning. Had one birdie. Windy and 57 degrees when we (first) went out at 7:07. We were done at 10:16.
I played today. Probably my last round of the year. Probably my worst round of the year. I kept hitting everything thin or off the toe. Throw in more three putts than I'll have in 3 rounds and it made for a disappointing day. I think my head just wasn't in it today.
Weather was decent for late December. Around 58* by the time we finished. We did get around in under 4 hours. AFAIK, this is the only course in the area that lets you off the cart path in the winter.
CPO on a muddy track today. The kind where you hit a short iron and it splats all over you. 40-40. Had a 7 or 8 footer on 18 for 79, and I hit it right where I wanted it but over-read the break. 28 putts and only 4 GIR. No 3 putts for the third straight round. That might be a record. No birdies but no doubles either.
Irons were sucky but putting and green side pitches and lobs were great. According to the GIR formula my predicted score was 87. I've never beaten that formula by this much. I'd love to see what would happen if I could learn to hit irons.
I think we won $4 per person.
Nice weather here in SE Virginia. I had to work in the morning so I only had time for nine holes.
Got paired with three guys who play together a lot. They were playing bingo-bango-bongo for a hundred bucks a point.
Temp was in the mid-50s with just a little breeze, so it was actually pretty nice. I hit a lot of good shots. Putting was harsh. I had four putts that lipped out, two of them were for birdies. On the fourth hole my tee shot looked like it might land in the hole but it actually landed about a yard short of the green and bit hard.
I just counted and I think I shot 41 with four lip-outs. The Srixon irons are a lot better than I am, lol.

Got out for another nine at the local muni. Rained off and on all day yesterday so it was wet, muddy, and cart-path only. Also cool and breezy. Tough day for scoring. I played lift, clean, and place. There wasn't more than one tee box that was actually playable; they were almost all casual water. I found the nearest safe place to tee up my ball, sometimes ahead, sometimes behind, but mostly to the sides of the markers.
I hit the ball pretty well. Couldn't make a putt to save my life. I had five pars and four bogeys including three 3-putt bogeys. A couple of up and downs from off the greens almost neutralized those.
I had two really makeable birdie putts but missed them both.
Overall, though, it was a good time and during the course of the round I had several very good iron shots that were buttery smooth and the kind of shot that makes a person keep want to keep playing this stupid game. 
As a side note, that old Adams driver that I bought from Steve has now become the go-to off the tee.
I got to play 18 today. Went out with a buddy, we got paired up with a couple from Colorado. They were great to play with. My buddy has been playing longer than I have. He and I decided to play the blue tees today. The blues play 6480 according to the scorecard. I was fairly consistently the longest off the tee today. That was the best thing I had going for me today.
I scored 50-54-104 today. I had 3 triple bogeys, and 2 quads... my driver was working until hole 15, I sliced the crap out of it and almost hit the clubhouse. Retee, and slice it into the trees on the right, got a bounce out and back toward me. Hit my 5 wood and put it up by the green. Ball went into the pond, so there's more penalties... that was my 2nd quad, and 3rd 3 putt...
I had a great time!
