Took my sister and SWMBO out today to Pendleton Golf Club. Sister's 76th birthday. Nice 18 hole round in 72 degree temps in November! SWMBO'S first outing with the new knee and she's killing it. A little rust around the greens but good ball striking day for her.

45/40 for me. Ok round.

I shot 40-35-75 at “historic Ottawa Park” golf course in Toledo, Ohio today. Started out in cool, misty weather,
but finished in bright sunshine and breezy. This could be our last round of the season, as the forecasts are
for cold weather for the next week or so, so we were all glad that we managed to get the round in today. One birdie,
10 GIR, and 32 putts.

I got out for 9 holes walking at an executive course in Portsmouth, VA. Six par 3s and three par 4s, the longest of which reads 292 on the scorecard.

Thought I had an ace on the first hole. PW shot hit the flag on the fly, near the bottom of the flag. Didn't see the ball bounce off. Had a prior 'slam dunk' ace as a kid, so I thought just maybe lighting would strike twice. Ball was in a bunker behind the green. 😢

On the 292-yard par four I busted a drive to 45 yards from the flagstick. I think the flag was really only 284 from the tee box, though, according to my laser. Still a good drive for me.

On the whole, the round was so-so. Only had two really good looks at birdie and missed them both. Hit some good shots but some iffy ones, too. Took me a good four or five holes to get used to how slow the greens were.

Overall, though, being able to play nine with a pushcart in mid-November with temps near 70 and blue skies was a win.

83 today at Lee's Hill. Once again, short game struggles on very fast greens kept me over 80. 1 birdie, 1 double, too many bogeys.

    Dint plan on playing but figured I’d see if it was busy. Course was empty. I thought I only had time for a few holes so I took a cart. Nobody in front of me. Flew around 9 holes in under an hour. Shot 31. After having my driver head break I got to #9 , 400 yard par 4. I had to lay up short of the brook with a 5 iron. From there I hit a nice 7 iron to 8 feet and made the putt for birdie. Nice way to end the year.

    Shot 47/47 today in the league. My first iron shot of the day felt so nice and I almost made birdie. After that I really struggled with irons. Only 3 gir. Too many double bogeys and not enough pars to offset them. Three strokes out of the money in my flight.

      Walterjn 6 over par is solid. I was thinking of taking a 7 iron and wedge and play with the pro shop guys but that’s out the window🙄. Sounds like you’re minimizing your bad holes.

        Typhoon I took a break from playing so I could get the tack trunk done. I played once last week, and so far 3x this week. Hopefully I can get back to playing more as I'm almost done with the trunk. I just need to get one or 2 more things to finish it off so I can take it south on Tuesday. Then I can see about working on Christmas ornaments.

        sdandrea1 that it is. The longest hole is 250 yards, with a narrow window for your tee shot from the back tees, and about 200 yards from the forward tees. The greens are All sloped, yet play about a 10, for the size of the crew, and cost to play, and roll pretty true. The entire course from the blue tees, is about 1600 yards. The greens, while being sloped, are all damn near postage stamps, the largest single green, is #6.

          sdandrea1 definitely good short game practice. Good place to work on my irons. Great place to work on green reading for lines.
          Fantastic place to learn the game at, or hang out on the patio enjoying some tacos, and conversation with any number of the characters that show up.

          2 of the kids from work and another senior played a match. 2 man best ball, $10 a side.
          Was tied until 6 then we won 7 and 8 to close out the front. Rain started on 9 so match was shortened. Shot a 39 in cold, windy and wet conditions. Short game saved me, got up and down for par 5x

          Shot 42/45 yesterday. The cold wind really got me on the back nine. Hit the ball pretty well considering I didn't touch a club for 2 weeks. Horrible short game though. First time in a long time I can remember the wind gusts were strong enough to move the ball on the greens during our last few holes.

          45/39 today. Got the blades dialed in by the back 9. Nice short game scoring clubs. Yummy sound and feel!!
