31 putts with 1 3 putt

Was a total smoke and mirrors round, my ball striking is awful with the irons. Luckily I drove the ball well and putted decently.

41-43-84

Pretty poor with the irons but finally had a good putting round, sank 3 long par putts and only had two 3-putts (probably a record for me). Most were no-stress 2-putts.

Switched to left-hand low for the first time, felt really comfortable with it, hope it continues.

Yesterday I was +3 thru 14 holes. Played a course close to me late afternoon. Short track, hosted the 49 PGA Championship that Sam Snead won.

2 birdies, 5 bogeys

I missed 3 par putts of 3-5 feet last 4 holes I played. Maybe it was the buzz settling in but I wasn't too displeased. Hit some quality golf shots, short game was on point again. I need to get even better with a wedge in my hand in the fairway though. My new garmin a huge help for yardages and clubbing correctly.

40-40-80

12 pars, 4 bogeys, 2 doubles

3/14 fairways, 7/18 greens 30 putts

Been a month since the greens were aerated and they STILL are not back. We have had a ton of rain so I guess the sand keeps washing out??? The rough is so damn long now that it's hard to find the ball and even harder to hit it. Most of my missed fairways were just off, some good lies, some bad.

Lowlight was missing a foot and a half putt for birdie. Highlight I guess would be having 274 out on a par 5 and hitting 3-wood that was in the air forever and leaving me 15 yards short of the green...and then I chunked the chip. Luckily I put the next one to a foot.

36-37-73. 3 birdies, 1 double bogey. 9/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 29 putts

Fun to score well. Completely unnecessary double on the first hole - left the face closed on an 8 iron from the middle of the fairway, missed the green 10 yards left in the jungle. Even an unplayable didn't put me in a good spot to get up and down.

This whole "work" thing is really taking a toll on my golfing time. After all the other sport/dating duties (read: leaks) are taken care of, im lucky to get on the course.
I took my clubs with me to cricket yesterday with the hope id get on before dark. Luckily, there's a local course just down the road from the oval so as soon as post-game handshakes we're done, I bolted.

Played the back 9, then 1, 2, 6 & 7 before the light got too flat.

1 birdie
3 pars
8 bogeys
1 double

Sh** lie on a very scorable par 5 led to the double. For the most part my irons and wedges were great. After last weekend hitting two of the best drives of my life, couldn't flush my driver to save myself. Missed right a bunch, just scrambled well to avoid disaster.

Highlight was the last hole I played - with a deep red sunset in the background and rapidly fading light, I lined up the long (194m) par 3 7th, struck a stock hybrid absolutely perfect and watched it take off toward the green. Had no idea how I was for length, but as I got closer to the green I spotted my ball. Hole-high, barely 2 feet from the cup. Had a pitch-mark in my line which threw my put off-line, but luckily the putt was short enough that it still snuck in left edge.

Yesterday was my best round of the year. Home course playing the white tees 69.7/119. I have been playing the blues 72.7/132 but was in a small group and I shot 35-34. 1 eagle and five birdies. 12GIR. Club championship is at the end of the month and hoping to do a lot better than last year.

Yesterday I shot 38-39-77, but the real news is that I made a hole in one. Second one for me.....with a 5 wood...same as the last time. I've told the first hole in one story before on here (it was a TERRIBLE shot...like truly terrible).

I got extremely unlucky on #13, 6 great shots for a double. Then I 3 putt #14 with my par putt from 10 feet hanging over the edge for 5 seconds thinking it's going to drop.

So I've gone from missing a 2 footer for a 37 on #9 to +8 thru 14...and about to choke and not break 80, and on a 240 yard par 3. Hit a real nice shot right at the pin, but it's usually long, short, or bounces left into the bunker. I think it's close but can't see so I'm walking up to the green and already pissed that it isn't even on the green. But it's in the hole. lol.

Kind of unfortunately I was sort of emotionless. I just REALLY didn't expect it to be in the hole.

Awesome!

Congrats that is awesome. Kind of funny when you didn't expect it. 240 is no joke either.

Scott the greens took forever to come back at my home course this year, it rained a bunch after and washed the sand away as well so it must be that. Luckily they aerate in April and sometimes Sept so most of the playable year they are good.

Lol a hole in one on that hole!! Congrats!

Nice work!

After playing those Washington courses I posted about above last weekend, I finished a pretty solid week of golf in Sunriver, Oregon (central Oregon, high desert) this weekend. I started it off with one of my favorite rounds in a while, a twilight round at Crosswater. Crosswater is the marquee course over there, and hosted one of the Champions Tour majors for several years. It also hosted a Wonderful World of Golf match between John Daly and Fred Couples back in the 90s:

Lived up to the hype. I love twilight golf, and the course and setting were immaculate. Fairways were like playing on carpet.



Played it at 6800, quite long for me, but playing at elevation every club was half club longer, at least. I shot an 83, which I was happy with, and with a 139 slope was good for an 8.3 differential.


Friday I played the Woodlands Course at Sunriver, which was a fun and difficult course, but underwhelming after Crosswater. Shot an 86, which I blame on a badly impacted splinter on my thumb (it obviously wasn't my game).

Saturday was the scramble for the convention I was attending. We shot -10, good enough for second place, which I discovered well after the fact since averaging nearly a beer a hole + 19th hole drinks required a little nappy poo.

45-41-86 from 6,500 / 71.6 / 127.

Hadn't touched a club since last Sunday and it showed early on. Really started pounding the driver on the back nine though, kind of focused on making a big turn and just hammer it and it was working. Highlight was crushing a drive ~280 on a 530 yard par 5, and followed it up with probably the best 3 wood I've ever hit, flew the green. Great ship and almost made bird.

Finally had a nice round today:

43-40 - 83.

8 pars
9 bogeys
1 double bogey

My chipping really let me down today. I've been using an 8 iron when I come up short of the green to chip on, but it has been rolling out a little too far for my liking. I think I might change it up and start using a 9 iron in that situation. Really happy with my ball striking and putting today.

grats on the ace

40 (par 37). No birdies or double bogeys.

Not bad for Tuesday, I'll take it.

44-45-89

Really a struggle. Ball striking was terrible, only hit 3/14 fairways and missed 3/4 greens on the Par 3s. Think I had 4 GIR all day. Chipping and putting were good, score could have been much worse.

Played the semi-final in our club handicap match-play competition today. I was two under my h/c at the turn and two up. After a bit of toing and froing on the back 9 (and a nervy finish) I managed to win 3&1 to reach the final (next month) for the first time, playing one or two below my handicap I guess.

Final Florida round today: Amelia Island Plantation Links, Oakmarsh course:

41-39-80

Good round. I had wrenched my back a few days before and was really struggling the first few holes...but I warmed up and played well. Couldn't get a birdie putt to fall, though. Also had a penalty stroke on the last hole, a par 5, but still managed a 6. Woulda been nice to break 80, tho.

****. After shooting no worse than 86 the last seven rounds and getting the 'cap down to a 9.3, went 46-44 today for a smooth 90. Short game just wasn't there, at all. This game sure knows how to keep you humble.

Funny how you golf good when you don't care about golfing good.

15 putts (Didn't make anything either, longest 1 putt was 3 feet.)

Good job Booker!

Wonder how I´ll feel if I hit one. Legit jelly for you getting it with a great shot at a long par-3!

Cool pic again, yep also love twilight golfing :thumb.

Played 4 rounds in Estonia, damit first time I played there and was a long time coming. 55euros per round, and has to be best value I have played at. Uploaded some pics in Imgur.

First round at Estonian Golf and Country Club, 8 pars but bigger numbers too so around 88 I think. Then Pärnu Bay Golf Links, sweet course (might be my favorite I have played), bogied my way through it, 92. Then White Beach Pärnu, easier course and putting badly managed 83. Second whack at Pärnu Bay and things clicked, hit 77 and front-nine was again not good putting. Great courses and a fun trip, happy days.

Very nice ntanygd. Damn hope I get an eagle one of these days again, been ages.

Thanks, chipped in from just over the green in 2 on a par 5.
