How did you shoot today at Golf

Eguller
No tornadoes. Just derechos here.

Typhoon You’re hitting a 42” driver? Who are you… Dorf?

Another hot day but this time I took better care of myself.
38-38 / 76.
9 greens and 29 putts. I made putts from everywhere. I owned the par fours, which is super unusual. 3 birdies. Did not hit any par threes and only 1 par five. I missed 2 of the par fives from 50 yards, lol! That distance has been a real weakness lately.
Driving and irons were boss. And putting. What a funny game.

Our team did well. Our 91 year old D player shot 81 from the reds. He only gets 10 strokes from the reds, but still, that’s a great round.

DonM In the end, it's almost always about the putting

Was supposed to sub in a league today. Got to the course and it was closed due to heavy rain last night. So I drove to the nearby slump buster but everybody must've had the same idea, it was jammed. Took a longer drive to another course and pretty much had the place to myself. Surprisingly not too wet.
Shot 41-39-80. Pretty decent round, nothing outstanding, nothing terrible. 11 pars, 3 doubles, 33 putts . Oh, brought along a 14 degree driver thinking it's so wet might need carry mote than roll. Go to put a tee in on the first hole, must've leaned a little too hard on the driver and Snap! right at the hosel! Would have liked to have hit it a couple times first.

I shot 42-40-82 at Sandy Creek GC in Monroe, Mich. today. The course (which is usually in very good shape) needed mowing today due to all the rain they've evidently been getting up there. It was OK playing today, but POURED on the way home. Nothing great to report....I decided to ride today to see if that would help me have
"something left" on the back nine, since I've been feeling tired and stiff on the back 9 lately. So, I parred the first three holes, then proceeded to make 8 consecutive bogeys !!! Frustrating game!!! 4 GIR's, 32 putts, chipped
pretty poorly.....

Sounds like rain is everywhere. We got 3.6 inches this morning, with another big one expected tonight. Our game tomorrow will be back nine only, if that’s even possible.

garyt1957 That sucks about your driver.

Any of you Canadians playing?

Me, Jesse (grandson), PapaC (his other grandad) and a buddy played a 4-man scramble with our tee time today. Wanted to see how low we could go. Self-imposed 3 drive minimum for each player. We started with 4 birdies, an eagle, then bogey, birdie, par to get to -6 on the front. Cooled off a bit to shoot -4 on the back. Beautiful day, good company, fun times

I played three times in the week but haven't got around to spending too much time on the forum.

Did manage to make my league last night. Probably should have skipped it. Maybe the stress of recent events came out because I was crushing my irons, but could only manage a 44 and lost my match. Luckily my partner's opponent must have shot a 60 so we took 1.5/3.

Started on #10, with back hole location it's playing about 190 and I fly the green with the 5 hybrid. I was posing on it only to see it carry maybe 210. Long is no bueno at my course, but made bogey. Unfortunately even clubbing down I went long on too many other holes and my short game was horrible.

#17 they have the tees up so it's maybe only 190-210 to get a good look around the dogleg. I pipe the 5h through the fairway maybe 230 Next shot is 130 to front pin into a pretty good breeze. I hit PW and fly the green; had to have carried 150 so I guess just no spin out of the rough although I got it up over a really tall tree. Made a double. #18 I took advantage of the tailwind and hit driver and half a SW, but left the birdie putt short

We played the back nine twice due to flooding. Again.
38 - 36 / 74.
3 birdies, no doubles. 10 greens, 31 putts. I put two new wedges in the bag. First, a Cally MD4 54/10 with an Accra 100i shaft. I wanted less bounce than my 54/14. I made 2 of the birdies after shots with the new wedge.

And I’m trying the Eye2 grind in a Ping Glide 3.0 58. I kind of like it but it didn’t get a big workout today.

Planned on 9 yesterday but there was nobody out there so we got in 18. Disappointed -4. Hit 16/18 greens but couldn’t make a putt to save my life. Sorta been the trend the last 2 times. Also hit the driver poorly. Combo of bad swings and trying too many drivers. I need to stick to one. If it clears up this afternoon before work in the shop I need to hit some balls. On a good note, I fixed my iron issues.

Typhoon Doesn’t sound like the driver hurt you any!

Yeah - the temptation is almost irresistible to try new toys. Just ask, well….. you know who.

Typhoon Disappointed -4.

Dude, you are banned from ever posting in this thread again! JRock, make it happen.

Sneakylong Smoked my 3 wood from 200 to 10 feet.

Those are special shots for guys like us.
