40-49=89
The driver went to the bench after 2 holes. Enter the three wood and had some surprisingly long drives.
Front nine was a Seve day. Miss a shot or two on a hole to be followed by a great chip, pitch or short iron and or drain a putt.
Example: 4th shot on par 5 ...35 yard bunker shot with ball below my feet. Hit to 8 ft and made putt for par.
Made 5 putts from 8-15 feet. Never had a 9 like this one.
Ran out of steam and magic on the last six holes with 5 doubles and 1 par.
Driver sucks..........getting mental now.

    Turns out my 40 + 49 = 89 yesterday was good enough to win my division / 3rd flight ..........net of handicap with a 74.

    Surprisingly there were no net scores in the 60's in the entire field, which is what you usually need to win. Guess the heat and course took it's toll. Pulled a Rory and didn't stick around for the posting of results thinking if I'm not in the 60's / net.....no chance.

    Overall I finished 14th out of 108 players.
    Is that better than two tournaments ago where I finished #106 out of 108? šŸ˜­šŸ¤¬ thankfully if you play all 9 tournaments your worst tournament gets dropped. šŸ˜

      I shot 40-42-82 at Bedford Hills GC in Temperance, Mich. today. Played OK, except my lower back got tighter and tighter on the back nine, and I limped home with double-par-double. Disappointing finish......6 GIR, 31 putts, 0 birdies.....

      Shot 43 in league last night and we lost again. I stupidly piped tee shots OB on 14 and 15; just double crossed with big pull draws instead of my usual fade. I did finish with a tap-in birdie and a skin so that was nice.

      I played today. The first 18 hole round in a month. The remnants of Beryl passed over us yesterday, but the course was in decent shape.

      I started out Bogey, Birdie, Par. I should have quit after that. The front nine was decent, but I completely fell apart on the back. I just couldn't maintain my focus. That's all I'm going to say about that. I've put it behind me.

      Tee game = Piped a couple great ones into position but overall underwhelming
      Approach game = Above average
      Short game = meltdown
      Putting = sucked

      Managed to shoot the end of round outdoor temperatureā€¦94

        40 at Tarpon Springs. Only got 9 in because of the weather. Gave us a raincheck for the full 18 for next time. šŸ‘

        42/37 in a quota tournament. 2 short of my quota, and no skins. The greens were punched. Anyway it was a strange round with 11 greens but a lot of poor iron swings too. I was shocked to break 80 and shocked when I added up 11 GIR. It felt more like 89, not 79.

        Played the slumpbuster (She ain't pretty but she's always available) today. 39-42-81. Only 29 putts. I don't understand why I putt so well here. Always 4-7 less putts than usual. The greens aren't fast or terribly undulating but they're not totally flat either. Whatever it is I wish I could pack it up and take it with me to other courses.

        Another day on punched greens. I had several good looks at birdie and only made one. I canā€™t blame the greens for all of it, though. Some I just read wrong.

        44/38 with 9 greens and 35 putts.
        Our whole team played bad. We finished DFL.

        I airmailed the first two greens with 9i and PW from the fairway. I have to think the Wilson Triad that I played today goes farther off irons than the Maxfli Tours. From then on I took one less club and that worked out. Hmmm. Also it flies real high.

        Shot 85 yesterday in Senior club championship. Short game was better thank you @Typhoon for the tip. Unfortunately piped a few OB again and 3 putted a few times. Still I was tied 5th out of about 50. Hitting some beautiful drives and irons but just need consistency.

        Can't finish the tournament today as I have a memorial service to attend, but would probably have to go really low for even 3rd. A 10 index shot even par and is leading. My buddy shot 84 as a 21 and hopefully he can go low again

          KCee Nice to hear there were some bright spots. Sorry for you loss today with the memorial service. Howā€™s the heat down your way? Nick played in Hamden last nightā€¦ 2.5 hour ride

              Typhoon it's low 90s and super humid. Feels hotter. My baseball cap weighs about 5 lbs after only a few holes.

                  I should have stayed home and played with myself today. 51/43 @ San Marcos. I whacked my left thumb last night with a serrated grill spatula trying to separate 2 frozen burger patties. Had a little swelling that hurt pretty bad on my downswing. It got better on the back nine as did my score. Had the f'ing y!p$ again with my chipping. I need to hit the practice facility and work that shit out of my system. Happened 5 times today.šŸ¤¬

                  Golf next Sunday in SoCal with @Sparky playing Hidden Valley in Corona,CA. One of my favorite SoCal courses.

                    Mattyv Had the f'ing y!p$ again with my chipping.

                    Next week we will have a chunk-off. My chipping has been awful lately.

                    My driving has been awful lately. My putting lately? Awful. 7 iron has been ok, but that is all.

                        KCee Next few days we have those ā€œfeels like 105ā€ temp days. I havenā€™t played in almost 3 weeks due to vacation and getting caught up last week at work. Should be able to get out for 9 the next 3 days. The time off is usually good since I wasnā€™t hitting the irons great back then but reset everything with a great range session last week.
