DonM Do they get irritated that you are not carrying more clubs?

Today's game required all 36 players to carry 4 clubs and a putter, but it was my idea. I usually carry about 9 clubs and the only guys who get irritated are the ones who pay me $. 😉😂

      76 at Timber Greens. Had one birdie. Cool morning with just a little rain toward the end. Got a dozen Chrome Softs for Christmas from my niece. Use to play them and always liked them. Played the same ball for the round.

      sdandrea1 I go out an play our front 9 with a driver , 7 iron, 56 degree and putter.

      Occasionally just 7 iron, 56 and putter.

        This is why golf is a four letter word; last week I played well from tee to green but ended up with 4 or 5 three putts, today I played poorly from tee to green (except for a couple of par 3's) but had no 3 putts. Ended up with 49/44, about normal for me.

        It was CPO and we got around in 3:40.

        As we were coming up the 16th fairway we saw smoke behind the green. As we got closer we could see flames. I was trying to decide if I should call the clubhouse. But as we got to the green we could finally see a couple of course workers had arrived and they quickly extinguished it. I asked if it was intentional and they said no.

          Spartan It is 2/7/2024....in the Midwest....htf can anything be that dry in order to burn freely? I could pour gas on my lawn, and would have to hold the flame to it before it would burn.

          I have never seen brown grass in the winter, only summer.

              Par4QC I don't know. The fire wasn't close enough to the cart path that a carelessly tossed cigarettes could have caused it. And it's not a spot that that one would normally be. I've never been in that part of the course and I've played it a lot.

                Playing Kaanapali Royal course tomorrow with rental Pxg clubs. Me my dad and son in law. If winds keep ripping like the last 3 days 90 will be the score to beat

                80 at Tarpon Springs. Had two birdies. Colder than a whores heart in flight time this morning. 🥶 Tale of two 9’s.
                Shot a 10 over 45 on the front and a 2 under 35 (Par 35-37) on the back 9. I’ll attribute the difference being it warmed up on the back 9. 🏌️

                Went around 3x today, all from the forward tees. First 2x was with the same 3 ladies. I didn't keep score, probably a good thing, I did birdie holes 3 and 4 the 1st round. Used my 8 iron on both holes, hole 3 I was just past the pin and just to the left. Hole 4, ball plugged into the green, 2 putt for birdie.
                The 3rd time around, I was part of a 4 man team scramble. Hole 4 I hit my 7 iron we had a head wind by then, i hit it thin, like its ovwr the green thin. Ball ended up 8" from the hole. Made the putt for eagle too. My team went -4, over 9 holes, we came in 2nd. That last round, I had two hits I'm happy with, both were mis hits, the thinned 7 iron on 4, and I mis hit my 3 wood on 6. Almost skyed that shot. Ball mark on the face, was about a 1/3 of the ball on the toe. Ball ended up to the left of the green, just past pin high. 200 yards into a headwind. Good shots and bad shots, the good ones will be remembered for a while.

                  Sometimes those thin ones spin like a bastard. Back to back birdies though… nice!

                  DonM I'll have to check my personal weather station for the monthly total. I got more than 4" hete st home so far this month.

                  Edit: just checked, and this month alone I got 7.3" of rain. Total for the year is just over 9".

                      Walterjn It has arrived here now. Been raining pretty steadily since early yesterday morning. Pretty sure we've had a couple of inches and counting. Supposed to rain most of the day today and then clear out.
