What'd You Shoot Today? (Golf BBV Thread)

[bonds]

39. Two stupid double bogeys. Ball striking was a bit better, smoothed out the tempo.

i think i'm getting the yips again, ugh no confidence

Would love to see that stat they sometimes show on tour. Number of feet of putts holed in the round.

I had a round like this a couple weeks ago. I hit the ball very well and never made a putt longer than four feet. Fortunately I am a good lag putter.

I played in a scramble on Monday with two nice guys. I would guess about a 22 and a 32. We used my tee shot on every hole and scratched out -5, which was a great score considering we made two bogeys. The about a 32 holed two bomb putts going first. Wow. I am an 8 btw and have been shooting low-to-mid 80s so far this season. It is always fun overachieving in scrambles.

Played for the first time since Labor Day last year. Played my old club, West Shore GCC in Grosse Ile, MI., back nine. Shot 50 for 9 holes, parring the last 3 holes. I've forgotten how to putt, chip, and get out of a greenside trap. On the plus side I am not snap-hooking my drives yet, but I know it's there waiting for me.

Sigh! 15 stableford points. I am so close to having my new improved swing working for me that I can taste it. It is just a matter of a little timing which is way off. Darn.

Shot 79 two days ago. Was a solid round of ball striking. Last 10 holes were 9 pars and a triple....@#@#%@.

One odd thing happened during the round though, had walked onto a local muni and one of the guys in my group was toting a skycaddy and measured drive distances for the whole crew. I hit 3 consecutive drives exactly 274 yards, have no idea what the odds of doing that are but I was pretty impressed.

83 gross, 82 net with 5 3 putts for my best round ever. Game is coming together, now I just need to play more. I'm a good putter and I just had an awful day. Could of been a sick round.

[POKEROMGLOL]

I played the other day with the goal of "no double bogeys".

I made 5 in my first 7 holes.

Shot 47-38 for an 85....completely standard.

On the front 9 i yipped like 4 chips which and took a giant step backwards.
On the back 9 I got the ball up and down from difficult spots like 3 times.
Getting tired of sucking and afraid that it won't ever end (I got a job )

Just feel like posting the fact that I broke 100 for the best time ever, a 96 on a p71. I am very happy about this.

congrats dude, keep at it, hello 80?

[sylar]

so, i just had the best round of my life at 92 on a par-70 course. what are my chances/strategy to break 90 the next time out? (i am playing 9 in a league tonight, and thinking of playing the par-70 sometime this weekend.)

without knowing your strong/weak points.

I'd guess practice before your round on the putting/chipping greens as much as you can. putting can really make a huge diff.

keep the ball in play off the tee, hit good 2nd shots hopefully, and maybe you'll get there.

shot 91 at deerfield in chicago suburbs, my 2nd best round ever and 5th time breaking 100 (last 4 were my last 4 rounds). ball striking improving but felt like i got pretty lucky with a lot of bad shots that ended up doing pretty well. approach shots finally were solid though.

[hendrix23]

Shot a 96 today. 46 on the front then kinda fell apart on the last 3 holes of the back w/ a triple bogie, and 2 double boggies. ughh....


I have a question. I made a bet last week (right after a 114) that I could break 80 by the end of the year. Do you guys think this is do-able?

Fwiw I feel like my putting, and <150ft iron game is fairley close to that # right now. But I have absolutly zero long game currently. Havn't kept a driver in my bag for the last 3 years, and am absolutly horrible with it. My 5 wood use to be dependable but since siwtching to a new Callaway 5 wood that's pretty inconsistant too. I'm putting in a decent amount of holes though. 5 rounds, and 3 trips to the driving range in the last 10 days.

Anyways. You guys think high 70's is do-able in 1 year from where I'm at?
