How did you shoot today at Golf

I figured we could have a thread on golf rounds. I'll go 1st. Played Whirlwind Cattail course today. I was hitting the driver far. Pushing 290-300 75% of...

Played 7 holes yesterday at my new (old) course in 7 over par. I forgot what pristine turf conditions were like. Now if I could find a golf swing. My index has gone from 11.4 to 15.8 in 6 months and is now on a Soft Cap. 🤬

I wish I was bagging. I need my swing unfucked.

Maybe time for a winter break from golf?

Well you saw what happens when you ask for help on here😂😂

I just took 5 weeks off for snow closure. That's most of the problem. I'll find a swing👍

Read that thread. Not going back in. 🤣

sdandrea1 Yeah you need to keep expectations really low after a long layoff. I haven't swung a club since early November and have a golf trip coming up in 3 weeks and I'm expecting to suck. On the plus side no one else going on the trip has probably played either.

I'm looking at the positives of playing badly. I will probably get at least 5-6 rounds in on this trip, I think I can post them and I have 3 low rounds immediately dropping off my index. I may start the season at my club a few strokes higher myself 😁

Just back from playing 7 rounds over 6 days in Sarasota/Bradenton and never got under 80 once. Ranged from 83-88. The 88 on a very challenging Lakewood National Commander course. Played tees 6300-6500 all week

Had a great week off the tee and ok into the greens but for the life of me could not chip and putt on the Bermuda there. I have played Bermuda many times in Carolinas and Zona but this was different. Made 3 birdies twice and 1 birdie thrice but that was either a lucky bomb ( putted in twice from off the green) or when i knocked it within 3 feet.

In any event some good handicap maintenance 😉. Started 2024 at 4.9 and now 9.6 🙁

Got another 9 holes in today. Played the Blue (senior) tees (5200 yards). Looks like this will be the appropriate box for my wimpy tee distance. Finished in 5 over par with 3 par putts just missing, but they would have been 1-putt pars, and we're not short putts. I was hitting the ball much better, but still struggling to reach greens in regulation. I managed to par 4 holes, and bogied 5. Walked behind a push cart.

sdandrea1 Sounds like the perfect set of tees

Got out to play one of the free executive courses at The Villages. It was actually a nice set up, attractive holes. First swing of the day was a beauty from 140 to 3 feet. Made the birdie. Birdied the second hole too but that shot wasn't too pretty. Hit it on the ground the whole way to about another 3 feet, lol. A birdie's a birdie. A couple pars then mostly bogies to finish two over for 9. Glad to get the rust off for today's round at a full course.

There's some pretty good eateries over at the Brownwood Station Town Center. There's a really GOOD Golf Store there called Golf Central. Check 'em out!

I played today for the first time since November 13 and it showed. The front was a real struggle but I started playing better on the back. I even managed to chip one in on a par 5 for a birdie!

It was a beautiful day for St. Louis for February, About 50* when we teed off and about 70* when we finished. Nice and sunny too. A little slow as it was CPO.

EDIT - My back feels like I haven't played in 2-1/2 months too!

Spartan My wife was in St Louis last week. Nice weather overall.

Got the back nine in today on my new (old) course. It's closed on Mondays, but members can walk after 12 noon. I hiked the back in 5 over. Still hitting it straight, but my best drive today was on #18. It went 170. Solid, straight. The course is soft right now. I might get a few more yards in warmer weather. Par 4s over 325 are getting longer. I'm hitting my 7 hybrid from 120. Ugh.......

If it makes you feel better, I hit my 4H/21* 120-130.
And it's exactly what I want it to go.😉

But my driver must be well over 300 at times. Naturally so.👍

Played Red tail GC in Sorrento FL today. Nice layout, greens and tee boxes were excellent but the rest was sketchy. Had been recently underwater (7th hole had just reopened today) so hard to judge conditions. But only $28 apiece for 18 and a cart.
Shot 43-42-85, a tale of two nines even though only one stroke difference. Had 4 more putts on the back. Didn't hit a really good shot on the front but found something on hole 11 and went 3 pars and a birdie, then a 7 when I had a 60 yard 2nd shot and dunked it, then finished well. Hopefully the good back 9 carries over to the next round.
