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...

44/41 for one of my best rounds in a long time. Drove the ball decently, 11 of 13 fairways, 30 putts. Pretty decent around the greens. Struggled a bit from the fairways.

It was a nice day, mid to upper 60's but overcast. Got aound in about 3:45.

I might have only hit 10 fairways. On one hole the cart path is right up against the fairway and my ball ended up on the cartpath. My drop was in the fairway so I figure if I'm playing my second shot from the fairway I must have hit it. Where I ended up is about where I want to be on that hole anyhow.

Took a ride to River Ridge GC down by Mohegan Sun casino yesterday. Shot 44 + 45 so not so good. Struggled with the driver and 3-jacked quite a few times on the slow greens. On the positive side the round was only about 4 hours, it didn't rain, had a great meal at MJ's steakhouse and gambled for a few hours after and walked away up $40.

KCee very nice!

I shot 41-38-79 this morning at Detwiler Park GC in Toledo, Ohio. It's an Arthur Hills layout that has "suffered" through 3 different management companies in the last 6 years or so, but this current one seems to be getting it right.....the course was in VERY good condition today. My round was nothing exciting.....9 GIR, 0 birdies, 35 putts.

42, 44. Meh.

Messed up day again like the whole week. Was supposed to rain all day, not a drop. Nick took the car so I took his to play 9. Shot a 30. 4 under. Irons were my big concern because I really didn’t have a grasp on what was working until today. Driver was passable, didn’t really hit anything bad, just nothing really solid.

Typhoon Shot a 30

How many 59’s or lower have you shot? Seems like when your swing is on that would be easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

My wife was feeling a little better so I was able to sneak out for a quick round. I'm still stiff and sore but I think I'm OK other than that.
Didn't have the confidence to follow through early on and was hitting liners. Started bogey, double, bogey. 43 on the front. Got it going on the back a bit, shot 39 for an 83. Felt good to get out and see how I'd feel.Going to try basketball tomorrow.

garyt1957 Glad you got out!

Got a break from the rain. Shot a 43 in league play. Tied into the last hole, missed a 4 footer to win my match, so we ended up tied. Third 43 in a row on Thursday nights.

Sneakylong Twice… I’ve shot 58 and 59. I shot those at a longer Par 70 course, although much more open and in better shape. At that course I hit a higher number of short irons.

My course par is 69 and I know I’ve broken 60 but for some reason, maybe because it’s a par 69, I don’t remember it as a huge thing. The year before last I think I played our front 9 in -8 and didn’t bother playing the back 9 because I had to be in work. Another time I remember a great back 9 where I birdied in from 14 but don’t remember how many under I was on the front 🙄🤣.

Because of whatever job or combo of jobs I have that day I usually only play 9. I never have a whole day off during the season unless I ask.

86 today. More crappy ball striking.

I played 13 yesterday. Hit the range, worked through my irons starting with my 9 and worked my way up to my 4 iron. I discovered that my 4 iron wasn't cooperating. Walked off the range and was allowed to join 3 guys on the par 4 #6 who were playing from the forward tees.
Hit my 6 iron, ended up in the left rough 25 yards from the green, chip on roll past the hole, made the putt for birdie. #7 made par with a long putt. #8 I made bogey with 2 putts. Hole 9 I hit my 6 iron and drove the green with a decent breeze in my face, made par. Played the last 4 holes on the course even par.
Played 9 with a buddy and I ended up 8 over for 9 holes. I kept topping the ball, and other mishits. I had an enjoyable round with my buddy, that's all I was interested in for that round.

43/43 for the first time in a while that I've had back-to-back rounds in the 80's. Sort of a repeat of last week, drove the ball decently, 10 of 13 fairways, 32 putts. Pretty decent around the greens. Struggled a bit from the fairways.

Chipped one in from a downhill lie off the back of the green on 9. I had a 40 yard pitch shot on 18 to a tough pin that ended up 6 inches from the hole. I also managed a rare birdie.

Before we teed off, the marshal told us there was a group of 8 older gentlemen ahead of us that were a bit slow and that we should be patient. At first I thought he meant they were playing as an 8-some, but it was two foursomes. While we did have to wait on most holes, we still got around in 4:05 which wasn't too bad.

A nice day, sunny but a haze in the sky from the Canadian wildfires. around 70 when we teed off, low 80's when we finished.

Played in a fund-raising scramble today at a gorgeous, exclusive club on the waterfront (inlets) in Virginia Beach. Really difficult course, slope 132.
Perfect day. Temps in the low 70s, blue skies. My first time hitting a ball in ovee a month.

Overall, we sucked. I hit some really good shots, though and made four putts of between 25 and 38 feet, like I always do. The last one got us second place in the second flight, which was good for $100 gift certificate. Got a nice golf shirt and a sleeve of balls.

I hit a gorgeous drive on our final hole, about 245, slight fade to follow the dogleg, and smack dab in the middle of the fairway.

Overall, way better than a day at work.

I lived in Virginia Beach for 13 years - what course ? Sounds like a fun day for a good cause. 🏌️‍♂️

44/46 yesterday afternoon…🤮
Actually struck the ball very well with all clubs with the exception of my wedge game which sucked donkey ballz compared to last week…

Came up grossly short on almost every single putt that I attempted…yes the greens are not fully back up to speed after the punching but I am not blaming that…they were rolling just fine…I just failed to adjust…some days on the golf course I tell ya 😡😜

Was perfect golf weather until the wind kicked up on the final 3 holes when the low pressure cell was moving in…
