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...

Mattyv Home course, San Clemente Muni.

Mattyv Guinness is a wonderful substitute for coffee at 7am when you are in for a 5.5 hour shit show.

Played in a 4 man money scramble at a short but incredibly tight and tough course.

pins were all tucked and a couple in next to impossible spots, 2 were so crazy that they had a rule that to pick up after hitting 8. We made 6 and 6 and were only one of 6 groups who didn't make an 8.

We struggled to get the ball tight on approaches so shot a mediocre -6.
-13 won

We did get into a 4 way chipoff for the $600 B division prize but were 2nd closest and no $

Played a 2 day member member tournament 5 9-hole rounds of team match play. Flighted with no strokes in most flights. We lost the first on the last hole, but then 3 wins and a tie to finish 2nd in our flight. Made 4 birdies today and won a skin. If I combined my 2 matches today I would have shot 76.

Played Red Mountain Ranch today. Shot 43-49. 43 on the front could have been a 40 if not for my 3 putts on holes 2, 3 and 4.🤬 My iron play left me on the back nine until the last 2 holes. Hole 17 is a shortish 450yrd par 5. Hit a good drive and had 192 uphill to an elevated green. I hit a low bullet 5 iron that raced up the bank protecting the green. Ended up on the fringe with putter in hand with an eagle attempt. Made a nice par.🤬 Fun day and the sun was behind the clouds.

I shot 40-39-79 this morning at Carrington Golf Cub in Monroe, Mich. I screwed up here and there (a double bogey
on a par 5, and a 3 putt green), but hit the ball pretty decent and chipped and putted very well. 0 birdies / 8 GIR / 31 putts.

Played the Gauntlet today with SIL and Jesse. Jesse is prepping for the District match tomorrow. SIL 77, PapaD 79, Jesse 80. Good times! I played my Alpha MDC Blades, 7-W. The covered clubs are the Acer XDS 9, 11, 13, 15 woods. Driver is TM R7 Mini.

I played in a fundraising scramble today at Williamsburg Golf Club. What a gorgeous track! The greens were true and quite fast.

I played with the usual yahoos from my work: the CEO, the CFO, and one of the hospitalists. The doctor is maybe a 15. The CFO about a 19, on a good day (he hasn't hit a single shot since our last scramble) and the handicap system doesn't have numbers high enough for the CEO's handicap. So I'm the A player. I don't keep a handicap, but if I did, I would probably be about a 9, maybe?

Anyway, the course is hilly and tight, and none of us had ever played it before, but it wasn't long from the gold tees, which they let me play because i'm a geezer. To make matters worse, I awoke on Sunday morning with severe vertigo. I did the Epley maneuver and it helped a lot, but I was still a bit dizzy this morning. I almost decided not to go. The B player literally had to tee up the ball for me on every hole because I can't bend over or I get dizzy.

Well, I didn't expect much, but I played really well. I was throwing darts with the short irons, including a PW that almost went in, leaving us two feet behind the hole. We started off with 5 straight birdies, cooled off in the middle of the round, and then finished with 3 birdies on the last four holes. I hit one bad iron shot, on a par three, and we ended up with a bogey there, but we shot 62!

That's the best score we have ever put together. Oh, and we went 8 under on the back 9.

All in all, a great day on a gorgeous course, and I really played well. The guys said I should get vertigo more often, lol.

Good for you.....when I was in the hospital for vertigo a couple of weeks ago they gave me the Epley maneuver to
do when I got home. I did it a couple of times a day for a few days, and that, more than anything else seemed to
straighten me out.

rsvman2 I did the Epley maneuver

Better to need the Epley than the Heimlich. Nice shooting!👍

Had to google the Epley. Interesting.

candukid I had to Google this phrase...."and I really played well."

No rain today, just misty and 63 degrees so I played in a scramble. Came in -7… ties for third. Hit 17/18 GIR.

81 at Timber Greens. 1 birdie. Mixed bag ball striking wise. Went off the back 9 first. Best shot was on 1. It’s a dogleg right. Had the tee all the way back. So my second shot had to go over a tree.

Had 150 in and hoisted my 7 iron over the tree pin high to ~ 10 feet of the hole. Finished on 9 which is the number 1 handicap hole. It’s a slight dogleg right. But you have to stay left of the fairway bunker to avoid tree trouble. Which makes it a longer shot in.

Hit a nice drive down the left side of the fairway. Had ~ 200 in. Hit a nice 3 wood going right at it, but it didn’t clear the front green side bunker. Proceeded to stick my bunker shot to inside a foot for a nice par. Bunker 101. 😎

Took Jesse to Forrest Green golf club today. His regional HS match is there on Wednesday and he's never seen the course. Greens were very slow and we each had four 3-putt greens. He beat me! 83, for him 84 for me.

Played another four-man scramble this morning, at a muni just over the state line in North Carolina. My group only had three guys, so I hit two shots a lot.

Carried my team. At one point I made three birdies in a row (par 5, par 3, and a par 4), meaning that every shot the team took on those three holes was mine, and I sunk birdie putts on all three.

I got tuckered and hypoglycemic near the end and for the last four holes or so I was not good.

Here's the funniest part: I won longest drive! I had to have been the least likely person to win it. It was a narrow par five, and drives not on the fairway didn't count. I striped it, to be sure: so much out of the exact sweet spot that it almost felt like I didn't hit a ball. It launched at a perfect angle and felt pretty low spin. I'm not sure how far it actually went, but it was likely between 250 and 260, which is very good for me. There were a lot of guys there who can hit the ball farther than that, but nobody got it in the fairway past my ball. (I played the gold tees, too, which gave me about a 20-yard head start).

Anyway, it was fun until I got totally exhausted.

Nice shooting doc. Keep a few glazed doughnuts in your bag........oh wait, you're a doctor. 👍😉

rsvman2 I got tuckered and hypoglycemic near the end and for the last four holes or so I was not good.

That right there is why im constantly snacking on something when I play, drive, or even work. I try to have crackers, pretzels, or something crunchy, some jerky, and a candy of some sort.

Irons were like foreign objects in my hands the last 3 holes, leading to a 3 bogey finish😒.
Slow, hot, round, yet was under 3 hours.

27 putts, 10 FWs, not sure how many (if any) GIRs.

Shot 41-43 at Toka Sticks today. I couldn't make a putt to save my life. I probably missed 8 putts between 4 and 10 feet today. Only one, 1 putt on the back nine and that was because I almost jarred my tee shot on the 150 yard 15th. Beautiful 5 yard draw with my 9 iron that hit the green 15 inches from the hole and rolled out to 3 feet. Driver was all over the place. My iron play was decent. I just didn't hit many greens and couldn't sink sink the par saving putts.

Shot 41-40 today. Walked and got a bit tired on the back with the humidity. Only 2 bad drives but my irons weren't so good. Chipping and putting were solid.

Had 2 shots go way beyond my usual today that cost me. Popped up a drive on 9 and had 200 to middle of green with back pin. Decided to hit 5h which is usually 190 club. Great swing ball went about 230 ob. On 14 i had 170 middle and flew the green with a 7i ob. I guess I channeled my inner Typhoon those 2 holes?
