Good round shame about the finish, last hole was awful though. Putted really well shot game was tight just need a long game!

Just for reference the yardages are off on most of the holes course has changed a bit... Also it's a par 69, 15th is a 500 yard par5 now.

A glorious 94 (lol). +11 after 3 when I inexplicably couldn't hit a wedge shot 80 yards over water to a pin 110 yards away three times. Then had a 6 hole stretch in the middle of the round where I was -1.

Why was this glorious? Because it's December 3rd in the middle of Illinois and I played golf in shorts today and wasn't a bit cold. I could have shot a million.

It was, unfortunately, right on the edge between fun-windy and stupid-windy -- though the downwind part was definitely fun-windy (hit a 492 yard par 5 with driver-5 iron which is usually about 70 yards outside my range). Upwind? Ballooning the drive about 180 was less fun.

28 stablford points ten worse then last time. I had a lesson last week but with no time to practice so I was trying to learn on the course and it showed in some awful full shots.
A mysteriously disappearing ball meant I don't have a score to report.

1 par, 7 Bogeys, 8 Doubles, 2 Worse.
5/12 FIR, 0 GIR, 32 putts from 17 greens.

+2 for 5 holes. Sloppy double followed by four standard pars. If I'd known how fast I was playing I probably would have tried to get in the whole nine.

50 degrees F on December 14, YES SIR.

Everything was shaky but driving was terrible short and right. Too many blobs to put a score together.

2 Pars, 8 Bogeys, 3 Doubles, 5 Worse.
2/12 FIR, 1 GIR, 31 Putts from 17 greens, 3 lost balls.

40 (par 35). Not very warm and there was a pretty steady drizzle but it wasn't too bad. Just about certain that it's the last round of the season.

Rd 1: 43-37: 80
Rd 2: 39-41: 80

Played both courses at home course Joined a month ago and still haven't broken 80 on either side .

Had 135 left into 18 on rd. 2 needing to get down in 3 for 79. Spun a 52 degree back into the water, then tried to play out with the ball about 1" completely under the surface. Made for some laughs.

41-41-82

2 birdies, 2 doubles. Haven't touched a club in 2 months so I'm pleased. Struck the ball pretty good, just had no short game as expected. Always nice to get a few rounds in in December.

Went to the par 3 course today. Shot 39 (par 29). That isn't too bad, because it was just a little bit windy.



It's snowing outside now; time to put the clubs away for the year I guess.

89 on a tight course i'd never played before. some fairways were very very wet. so fairly happy.

driving: amazing. have gone to much stronger grip and much more of a release with my hips.

FW thru long irons: with a couple of exceptions, not so good but no release points etc.

shorter irons: terrible. seemed to push/slice everything (although quite solid hits often). really killed me. shorter par 4's go from par/birdie to most likely bogey. at least one stroke given up easily on many holes.

pitching/chipping: pretty good. working some things out. using 7 or 8 iron alot more as my past golf pro suggested. less lofted club seems to have much less variability between excellent and poor contact.

putting: very good. put a bunch of putts in from 5 to 20 feet.

course management: tried some stupid long second shots on par 5's. perfect would be on the green but alot of bogey and higher downside

what to work on:

consolidate non-driver tee shots on par 4/5 (so wet that i felt i had to hit driver and wet conditions keep bad drives out of trouble)

with irons, should i strengthen grip further or move the ball up in my stance or perhaps not release body as forcefully on those shots? i am now staying away from golf instruction sites/books/magazines etc. as i feel i'm as close as i've ever been and it's been by applying what's already in my head.

84 with a 9.....

driving: awesome

FW to long irons: very good although i did put one in the water from a sidehill lie.

shorter irons: ok. double bogeyed two fairly easy par 3's though. have to figure out my release points with my new stronger grip.

wedges: need work on wedge control

chipping: somewhat ok

putting: very good again

need to work on wedges, figure out my release point on irons. that's about it for now. i can definitely see 80 now!!

double dog balls.

the straighter and longer I hit it the worse I putt. sure I can hole a eight footer for a scrappy bogey.

give me a 12 footer for birdie and I'll 3-putt that sumbitch every other time.

35 Stableford
Lost by one point. I had twenty points after eight holes and only managed fifteen over the next ten. The course was sodden and playing pretty long.
I drove the ball well only getting into trouble off the tee only once, when I took a five wood for safety and hooked it. Full shots from the fairway where more mixed as was pitching and chipping. I holed some long putts but missed a two foot par putt on the first and took four on one green after making a good recovery.

shot 90 in complete slop on a very tough but pretty short course.

must have chunked 5 shots and 3 putts five or six times.

i asked a low handicap guy and he said never make huge changes to your game based on iron play during the sloppy pacific NW winter (and vancouver is much more wet than seattle/portland)(

bot new stiff irons today though. can't wait to try them out.

Tried out some Taylor Made irons today.
Liked them better than the Mizunos I tried last go around, but not as much as the pings.
Think I may just end up with another pair of Titleist.

55 degree January day in Michigan? Yessir. Alllll the courses were open today. Hell, I even saw some with carts out the last couple days.

Shot 36 (par 35). 3 birdies, 2 double bogeys, the rest pars. Fun day.

85 (par 72) on home course about 7000 yards. In SE Australia and it's been dry as hell so course is completely baked out. Easy 50metres run on drivers.

Hit 2 greens in reg and maybe 3 fairways all day.

I guess being winter in NA/Europe means not many rounds.
Shot 80 on same course as above. Double bogey 6 and 7 was even through 5 yuck but recovered pretty nicely.

Probably had under 30 putts which was nice. Drained 3 30+ footers.
