Losing 9 balls off the tee and shooting a 95 is one wild round.

Out of bounds or in the water? Cuz if you hit 3 from the tee 9 times and ended up 23 over you have sick variance.

Wait, 11 + 9 = 20. Wat?

+4 40 today. Par 36 obv

Working hard to get my iron play back to where it needs to be. Been fiddling around with my stance and ball position.

Stuck a 7 iron from 160 to about 7 feet. Missed the putt tho lol

40-40-80. White tees. The good news is that lots of practice is improving my chipping.

Shot 80 for my 10th straight round 83 or under. Seeing as my course is now a 74.7/143, I'm happy with that. Went brain dead for 4 straight holes. Tap in birdie on my 7th hole got me to +2, then I inexplicably hit 3 wood from 260 when I have 0 shot of hitting the green in 2 on next hole and leave myself a 45 yard bunker shot. Hit it fat twice, and fail to get up and down: double. Next hole 9 iron drifts into bunker, hit it fat again: double. Then make the turn, hit 7 iron right over the pin about 15 feet, misread it by 5 feet 3 putt. Then hit driver/5wood on hardest hole on course to 20 feet and 3 putt. Proud of my last 4 holes though, needed to play them -1 to break 80...gave myself 3 shots within 20 feet to get the bird and nailed a 35 footer for par on the other hole.

That's the difference between a 74 and an 80.

Pokeromg, where do u play again? Sorry I forgot

44+??? for 33 Stableford points

Picked up on 17 after I couldn't score. I was one point up on the tee. It's a par five and after two shots I had a six iron approach that I pulled into the river. I dropped one and missed the green to the right needing an up and down for a double. Instead I bladed it over the green and into the bushes.
Driving was a bit shaky and I couldn't pitch to save my life, Putting was not great nothing fell and I missed couple of short ones too. Full shots from the fairway were good.
I lost by one point.

1 Birdie, 3 Pars, 6 Bogeys, 5 Doubles, 3 Worse
3/12 FIR, 3 GIR, 35 Putts from 17 greens, 4 three putts

93 at the University of Michigan golf course.......pretty much couldn't do anything and was a pretty frustrating round

37-42-79. 1 birdie, 1 double. 6/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 32 putts.

42 (par 36) with an oob shot. 2/6 FW, 4 GIR.

Third hole was fun. Tee shot out of bounds. Second tee shot ends up in fairway bunker. So here I sit, lying 3 about 250 yards from the green. 7 iron to 80 yards, pitch onto the green to 15 feet and miss the putt by about a 1/4 inch. Take double but sitting 2 on the tee box that's not a terrible result.

mira vista. used to be diamond oaks/woodhaven. river crest before that.

Made an eagle on a 451 yard par 4. Driver/ 6 iron. Didn't think I had enough club, thought ball landed short and bounded into the bunker, did obligatory check of the hole wondering why my ball wasn't on green, it was in hole.

In my first real round of golf in 5+ years (I've been out to the par 3 course a number of times this year), 90 (counting a couple teebox mulligans and using the "I lost my ball in a wide open area because I can't see that well, I think it ended here, drop ball" approach). Which, considering my average drive was a 100 yard ground ball to the shortstop, is doing quite well.

Keep a legit score. It will help you realize if you are getting better or not.

Losing a ball sucks when you know it's in the rough but don't have 5 minutes to waste looking for it - at least give yourself 1 stroke though and drop in similar rough. Taking 2 strokes there pretty much sucks balls, as does a stroke and re-hit esp. if you are at a busy public course. But definitely count those errant tee shots. It will help make you accountable for choosing the right club off the tee and you'll get better at course management. It also makes the game funner if you instead hit a 3w, 3H, or 2i off the tee as your approach shot may be like a 6 iron instead of a 9i. I kinda hate when I play a round and all my approaches are wedges or 9s. I do play short courses though.

90 sounds amazing for hitting a bunch of short worm-burners.

Oh, I know. Trust me, the mulligans weren't any better -- and in fact I generally made the resolution to just play the first ball and hit another for practice.

5 irons and shorter, I was doing quite well (I have been playing a fair amount on local par 3s), and holed a couple more putts than I was entitled to. Usual pattern on the par 4s was 3 wood grounder to short, 5 or 6 iron down the fairway, 6 iron to wedge on or in the general vicinity of green from there, and from 1-3 shots from wherever I landed.

I would happily have taken 5 iron off the tee most holes, except that 5 iron-5 iron would still have left me a bit short, and I figured I at least had a 10% chance to hit a decent tee shot!

You've got a pretty good short game to log a 90 with the description of missing greens after 3 shots on a par 4. Anyway I'll stop being nitty. "Welcome back" to golf, we need fresh posters. Mostly I'm jealous b/c my low is 90 lol.

Back when I actually played, I could get to the low 80s reasonably well. It's just nice to see most of the game come back after a long break.

Shot 69 but it was a two man scramble and we ended up winning 70$ woot!

41 (par 35). 0 birdies, 2 doubles. 5/6 fairways, 1/9 greens, 13 putts.

Played nine with a 5 iron, 42 degree niblick and putter. Didnt have my bag so I had to improvise.

44-49-95

34 putts
5/14 FIR
2/18 GIR
1 sand stroke
1 penalty

It was brutally hot out there today. I thought I'd play from 7:30a to 11 but it was still brutal and in the early morning everything was just soaked, my gloves, my right hand, even the grips had morning dew on them. Carried my bag and really struggled to finish the last 4 holes but anyway my score wasn't suffering too much so I figured I would finish.

Drove the ball better than I have in a long, long time. Distance isn't amazing but my accuracy and consistency are so much better. 5/14 FIR but really every drive was playable, if not just off the fairway. Oh yeah I just remembered I did hit one big slice into a lake on a par 5 so that was bad, that's where my penalty came from.

Lagged pretty good but still not really sinking anything outside like 4 feet.

Approach shots were not great today. I was pulling everything left which of course meant it lands on the left side of a berm and rolls down leaving a really tough (for me) pitch. That is the worst part of my game is shots around the green so I kept killing myself by missing greens. For me especially hitting anywhere on the green is so god damn important for keeping my score from ballooning out of control it cannot be overstated. I'm trying - just had a bad day. Don't think it was anything to worry about. A few of them I think were directly related to hitting out of first cut morning dew grass which I'm just not used to. Heel just seemed to go nowhere and toe would turn over causing short, low, and left. So really it was a new shot for me as I never play in the AM. Towards the end of the day the dew burned off but I think I was just weak and not committing to hitting through the ball.

On two holes I narrowly missed putts (one for bird, one for par) just next to the hole that both ran too far past and I missed the comebacker in each case. A couple inches to the side and that's 4 strokes off my score right there.. ugg. My fault for rolling past though. They were bombs though.

2 pars
10 bogeys
5 doubles
1 triple

Pretty consistent mediocrity for me. Usually I have a couple more triples or even a quad somewhere. The triple was on a 170 yard par 3 that I ****ing cannot stand. It's an idiotic hole. Impossible to hit the green and if you don't hit the green every shot you're left with is not easy. It's my least favorite hole I've ever played by far.

I played it horribly though, hit a bad 6i blocked right and short. Left with maybe a 30 yard downhill lie shot to an elevated green with no backstop. Took my time and determined the best line to hit, that even if I skulled it or hit it short, would leave me with a reasonable shot back. Then I hit it and thinned it and the ball lands about a foot on the elevated, flat green and rolls way off, down the hill. Now I legit only have a flop shot to attempt which I rarely do. Hit a good one but too weak and it settles on top of the berm in the grass just short of green. A yard longer and it rolls downhill toward the hole somewhere. Then I try to putt through the tall wet grass and the ball pops out and goes nowhere, but settles on the green 8 feet short. Miss putt. I normally don't play this hole that badly but this was bad.

Anyway overall I'm excited and my HC should be coming down a lot soon. Last 5 rounds all sub-100. 5 of my 10 lowest HC differentials have come in my most recent 7 rounds.

Nice post phb I like reading detailed rounds like that. I'm going to make more of an effort to do the same every time I play. I'll be playing in Maui this week so I'll have a beautiful scenery-laden 140 to report ha

It's good to type everything out as it makes you think back about where you went wrong, where you went right, etc. Honestly when I finished I was kind of pissed off and expected my round to be 98 or 99. Added it up and 95 so I was a bit happier. Then when I got home and tallied up all the fairways and thought about my tee shots I started thinking about how it really wasn't that bad of a round. Sometimes when you're out there it's hard to see the positives but if you do the write-up you will generally feel better about your performance.

Obligatory "Hey I've been to Hawai'i, too" tidbit: I played at Turtle Bay on the main island but not Maui. I don't know if you've been there before or if you require sunscreen but if you do take sunscreen that is about twice as strong as you might wear in NYC. Sun's rays over there are vicious. My wife doesn't wear it b/c she actually tans and she wore capris and just rode in the cart and she got burned so damn bad and had capri pants tan lines for months afterwards. lol.

42 (par 37). No birdies, 2 double bogeys. 4/7 fairways, 4/9 greens, 17 putts.

Not a great ball striking day, but the two three putts were killer.

Played in my Men's club weakly 9 Hole round today at Rum River Hills in MN. The game was 3-Ball Foursome (Count 3 of 4 scores). Although the rest of my team members didn't play that well, I managed to shoot my best 9 Hole score ever on the front 9 (par 35): 31. Started on #3 (Shotgun) with a birdie. Birdied 7 and 8 and reached the par 5 2nd in 2 and two putted for birdied. My scorecard had 5 3's and 4 4's on it.

As we were driving back into the clubhouse, I realized I had a slight shot at breaking the course record of 62, although it was already 8:00 and I would have to play very quick. So I grabbed my friend who was practicing a little putting and we drove over to the 10th tee. I got up-and-down for par on 10, made a 12 foot birdie putt on 11 and made my first and only mistake of rushing too fast and I ended up hitting my tee ball on the par 5 12th OB and it was over after that when I made a double bogie and ended up driving back in to the club house. I feel I should have just played it out to see how low I could go since my lowest round ever is 68. Oh well, hopefully another opportunity comes around sooner rather than later.

managed to shot a pretty good round dunno how been striking it rubbish this week.

anyway shot 76 4 over and 3 over nett 59 thing is I'm now going to get cut right before a club major doh . I'm doing it wrong.

What is it you are getting cut from?
