DonM 😄Can you read/understand this, knowing what mph means?? They are talking gusts of over 40-50.
I may still go out. I'll just tuck my shirttail in to keep from ballooning.🤣

We did play Saturday. Only 52* at start....coldest temp I've ever played in. Only 59* when done. Wind was up a bit also, so not many problems with leaves on greens. But, can't believe how nice it was out there.

DonM Last week was soo nice, I played 3 9 hole rounds of 27,30 and 30. Then Friday I played 18 and shot 60. Could be it for the year even though the end of this week will be warm. Trying to resist going out.

Played a 2 man scramble yesterday. Was a bit too cold for me early on, but did warm up a bit. I used the last of my pro shop credit for new mittens and a toasty warm jacket.

I either hit a spectacular shot or an awful one. My partner was about the same, but luckily we only had 2 holes where we both stunk at the same time.

Didn't realize they were making it a greenskeepers revenge thing, but there were some unique pin positions. Don't recall ever 3 putting in a scramble, but we did so 5-6 times and we were not alone. Apparently there were 2 separate 8-putts....in a scramble. Was kind of funny, but it also slowed the round down a LOT 😡

sdandrea1 I've noticed this happens pretty consistently during Autumn. I'll

Funny enough, every year it gets pretty cold shortly thereafter. 🤔

    I noticed that too. One research problem at a time, OK? I'll get back to you.

      Thanks. I may forget. 🙃

      DonM it will be warm this week... hoping to get out. If it weren't for my pesky job, I would be able to play a lot more.

      We played today in some of the highest winds I have played in for a LONG time! The local weather said 20-25 mph, with gusts up in the 30's. I managed for a while, but on the back nine, just ran of of gas (or luck, LOL!). My score of 39-42-81 was sort of irrelevant....it was hard as hell to stay still over the ball, esp. on / around the greens. Oh well, chalk one up for experience. The Legacy in Ottawa Lake, Michigan was in great shape......just a tough day to play!
      5 GIR's, 1 birdie, 1 double bogey, 31 putts.

      DonM I quit playing in early August when it was hot and by the time I started playing again in late September I had lost interest in discussing anything about my lousy golf rounds. 🙂

      Shot 48-41 today, after some time off for our daughter's wedding and a little vacation. The front nine was full of crappy chipping and putting, but I turned that around on the back 9.

      DonM What's happened to all of our golfers here? Where is everybody?

      I'm still playing but I figured no one wanted to read about my scores in the 90's.

      I played today, very warm day for late October. Low 70's when we teed off, mid 80's when we finished. 20+ mph winds with gusts to 35. We may have reached a record high.

      I had gone to the range Friday and I thought I had figured something out. But except for my tee shot on one, it didn't come to the course with me, three lost balls on the first three holes. But I stuck with it and ended up shooting 50/43 without any more lost balls (except for one lost in the leaves). If I had putted better (too many 3 putts and a 4 putt) I could have been in the 80's. That's golf.

        Spartan I'm still playing but I figured no one wanted to read about my scores in the 90's.

        I very much identify with this. 🙂

        Got out for a quick 9 today. No score because I played mulligans and practice shots on several holes, but I do have some highlights.

        On the third hole, a par three over a lake and a bunker, I nearly made a hole in one. It looked like it might go in, as lt landed slightly right of the hole and was moving left. Ended up about ten inches short. Easy tap-in birdie.

        On 7 I hit an approach shot to about three feet, but the putt broke harder than I thought and I missed it. On 9 I had a 5-6 footer for birdie; because I had under-read the break on 7, I read it as breaking about two inches left. It broke one, so I missed that one, too.

        I did make an 18-footer for birdie on the first hole.

        I saved my best brag for last: on the 9th hole I bombed a drive (for me). I lasered it at 259 yards from one of the tee markers, 262 from the other. I turn 66 in three weeks. This was at sea level. 💪

          Beast mode!!

          They all count....whether sea level or mountain top. If it's long (personal standard)...it's long. 👍

          Total meltdown today, 49-43-92. Only hit 2 Fws on the front and 0 greens. Putted pretty well,29 putts. One birdie.
