What'd You Shoot Today? (Golf BBV Thread) - Page 581

Mr. Wolfbox,

I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I'm so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame. I don't know if I'm going to be putting on this headset again. I don't know if it's going to be for the Reds. I don't know if it's going to be for my bosses at Fox.

Don't worry about it, I laughed when I read it. Neither my golf game nor my peehs game are worth taking too seriously.

CC seemingly missed the sarcasm in my post that stirred all this up
glad he did because the results are fun

41-43-84. 1 birdie, 1 double bogey. 68.6/125/5,875 yards

Average ball striking, poor short game, putting was an adventure. Lots of slope and about the fastest greens I've played all season.

5th round in last 5 weeks. (Also 5th round in last 12 years.)

Walked for the first time this year and used my new ClicGear4.0 and loved it. Never played this course before. 69/121 Par 71 (36/35) just over 6,000 yards. Can't get into tons of trouble here.

97 (49/48) 2 pars, 2 birdies, 5 bogeys, 4 doubles and 5 bed-shitters. Hit driver very well and my irons were ok. Way better than last time, when I made several Xs. (Didn't even lose a ball today.) Still awful around the greens (wasted 3-4 chips) and with the putter (21/21 for 42 putts total. A few of those "putts" were from the fringe. If I'm grabbing a putter I count it as a putt.) Nice to break 100, but I'll feel better about it if I do it on a tougher course. Lots of room to improve via the short game, so that's encouraging. Been spending most of my time working on my swing, not scoring.

Hit driver and then 5-iron into a shorter (472 yards) par 5 and had an eagle putt, which was fun. (Left the birdie putt at like 5 feet, which wasn't fun, but I made it.) Went birdie, par, birdie for a stretch on the front, but then promptly made triple to slap me back into reality. Totally hooked. Can't wait to go practice.

39-43-82. (Par 35-36-71). 1 birdie, 1 double bogey. 69.2/120/6,152 yards.

Ball striking was good, probably B+. Short game was erratic but more mediocre than anything else - too many bogeys when I was just off the green in regulation.

At that point they didn't quite understand why I referred to myself as the "best awful golfer in the world". They knew by the time it was all over.

The goal is consistent bogey-golf by the end of summer 2025.

89(45/44) (Par 72, 70.7/133 6400 yards) today with 39 putts....pleased with the score, but could have been better.....1 birdie....5 pars.....2 doubles & 2 dumbass triples......5 3-whacks, but much better with the putter actually after practicing several times this past week.....swing is better but still inconsistent......can't wait to play again.
