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.

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.

50/9 holes at a rural state park course. One par, one bogey.

It was a nice day.

39-39-78. 2 birdies, no double bogeys. 68.6/125/5,875 yards.

Did a really good job of avoiding large numbers. Every aspect was decent, even good most of the time.

Managed to limp around today. Not in any pain now just have a limp. A little achy by the time I'm done though but goes away pretty quickly.

Since I last played my home course they have seem to have cut the greens super tight now and for a course that has been know for being notoriously slow on the greens they are pretty swift now. They seem to have firmed up as well, I personally think its great move, Greens roll so much better when its like this rather than slow and soft.

I played as expected really. Nothing outstanding. I recently sold my range finder so I had no yardage device to go by so was going by feel mostly. With my irons my yardage has increased a bit. One shot that was quite funny, I had around 140ish slight into the breeze in the fairway. Knowing it was pretty bouncy I thought I'd hit PW which normally goes 130ish I think. Slightly pulled great strike and its probably flew about 155 and gone into a back bush. It felt amazing but not so as I lost the ball ... Back before I was injured I remember my really good strikes always wanted to go left.

Good to be out there again. Going to try and get to a physio soon been so busy ever since I got back from my trip. Mother went into hospital then come out and was fine than had massive pains in her back so been looking after her. Then my dog has picked up some kind of skin infection so he has been to the vet numerous times, I'll get to my health soon.

MGA event 9 holes best ball, 9 holes Chapman.

Even on the best ball with one birdie and one bogey.

Chapman shot +1 with 3 birdies, 1 bogey, and 1 triple.

The triple was a washed out greenside bunker with water in half of it. Probably should have just called it unplayable and dropped it outside of it. Took us 3 shots to get it out.
