What'd You Shoot Today? (Golf BBV Thread) - Page 574

47 (par 36)Quit after nine due to incoming storms. Knew I was doomed - got there early, had time for a full warmup on the range. Hit it well. Which is never a good sign. Promptly went out and hit it awful on the first three holes, making double each time.

so relatable
pretty sure my top ten pre-round range sessions were followed by poor results

Went out today decided to play a 1 vs 2 high handicappers. 1 guy had a shot a hole and the other 14 shots. Got smashed 6&5.

Course has firmed up, Greens bouncy as ever and I seem to be flying the ball a lot further now maybe due to warmer temps in the UK so I need to find a way to adjust now.

My golf game is a bit hit and miss at the moment. 1 thing that did continue today was how well I hit my rescue honestly it's like a new club in the bag now I can play Par 5's pretty much risk free in terms of the 1st two shots. Hopefully I can brush up on the rest of the stuff.

45-44-89 (par 36-37-73). No birdies, 4 doubles, 1 triple. 70.9/136/6205. Pilgrim's Run in Pierson, MI. One of Michigan's best public courses.

Another good pre-round range session, another awful round. Things went off the rails from the beginning with a double-triple-double start. Eventually started making some better contact, got up and down a few times.

not sure about you but i've come to enjoy firm greens that release their secrets after a ball lands short
wise to not throw darts at every target

I hear you at my local though it's such a drastic change the greens are usually super soft. I do like it though, makes the course play a bit tougher and those who adapt to it will succeed the best.

41 (par 35). No birdies, no double bogeys.

Hit zero greens in regulation, but not as many truly awful shots and I scrambled decently for once. Not bad for Tuesday night golf.

50 (par 36). Super Frustrating as I couldn't get off the tee to save my life. Taking a week off to work on swing and try to figure this out.

Yessir. Mostly Monarch Dunes. Also close to Cypress Ridge, which I can recommend. If you're planning to be in the area, I always recommend Morro Bay as it has stunning ocean views with a muni price tag. Its a very easy layout with some diabolical greens (think gravity hill). In Lompoc, you've got Mission Club and La Purisma, which are both excellent. I've heard good things about Alisol, Sand Piper, and Hunter Ranch, but haven't been to them yet. AVOID: Blacklake, Avila Beach, and Rancho Maria.
