50-45-95 on a windy day with rain off and on on the front side. Went 6-6-8 with a small case of the shanks on the first three holes (all par 4s) before settling down, only had one real blowup hole the rest of the way. I had a pretty decent putting round, made a 20-footer and lipped out a couple of others.

44-46=90.

Hit 5 of the first 7 greens in regulation and was still +6 through 7 thanks to three straight 3-putt bogeys. LOL me. One of two things was going to happen -- my putting was going to catch up to my ball striking, or my ball striking was going to go to the same ****hole as my putting. For about 3 holes, it was the first, but then naaaaah.

What a comical 39 today.

I cannot finish a round to save my life. Make a double from middle of the fairway 110 yards out.

Wasted a great chance at my first ever under par round

55-46-101 (67.0/110 slope, 5714 yards)

1 birdie, 3 pars, 7 bogies, 1 double, 4 triples, 2 others
3/14 fairways, 3 GIR, 11 GIR+1, 32 putts, 3 sand shots, 3 penalty strokes

Started off with a routine bogey, then went 7-8-10 on the next three holes to wreck my round. Back nine started off par-bogey; then I was pin high but about 20 yards left of the green after my 3rd shot on a par-5. Skulled it into a bunker, ended up with a triple.

Highlight was finishing the last four holes in one over: birdie, par, bogey, bogey. The birdie was a 452-yard par-5. Drive down the middle, then ballooned a 5-wood and was even with the 150-yard stake for my 3rd. There's water down the left of the hole and any approach shots that are short/left could go in the water. I wanted to hit a 7-iron and bail out to the right, but I pulled it. It landed just short of the green and rolled up 3 feet shy of the right front pin location. Next hole (par-3) I hit an easy 7-iron pin-high but missed a 14-footer on the low side (perfect speed, though). Next hole I left a 30-foot par putt about 4 inches short. Last hole I drove it right down the middle, but sliced my approach shot short and right of the green. Pitch to ten feet, left the putt a foot short.

Driver was mediocre: not much distance, missed lots of fairways (though most of the misses were playable). Irons were okay, short game was dismal early on. It was fine on the back, though. Putting was decent, but I left a bunch of putts short. Only one three-putt, so that's good.

39 (par 35). 2 birdies, 1 double bogey, 1 triple bogey. My scorecard looked almost exactly like EddieGuerrero's card.

Started par, birdie, par, birdie, then pulled the driver for the first time. Snap hook, lost ball (in fairness it shouldn't have been lost, not that awful a spot). Provisional, snap hook in the same direction but worse. Hit another provisional with an iron and only regular hooked that. Found the second one, had a 50 yard punch to get it back to the fairway. Long iron short of the green, decent pitch, two putts.

Par (with a good driver), par .... Snap hook OB. ****. Routine hole on provisional (iron off tee obv) so a double. Finished with a bogey when I left a putt one turn short.

Super easy course setup, but I did hit a lot of very nice iron shots. I also had great distance control on my putts.

Shot a personal best 93 (+23).

Had another look at eagle at 18 from about 20ft
Drove it about 240 to the right edge of the fairway and hit a perfect 3h into the green from about 200 out.
Left myself ~5ft for birdie but pushed it by the right edge and made a 3-putt par.
I was pissed for a second but then realized I still broke my personal best by 3 strokes. Getting closer to bogey golf, which is my big goal for the season.

Also finally decided to get a season pass at my local muni (2 months too late), so there'll be plenty of chances

That's a sweet shot with a 3h. Must have felt awesome.

bleh whatever, pretty standard round as of late. play has fallen off since the beginning of the year, much worse off the tee than i was for the first couple months

Im such a nervous wreck. Played really really solid for six holes, didnt hit a single bad shot, was -2. Then at seventh a par 3 190 yards over a small lake - theres a tree just 50 meter down the tee and the last thing that goes through my mind is "dont hit it right". You guessed it, i hit it right and it touches the tree branch and lands on the other side of the lake but bounces back into the water, double. Followed up with a double.

All in all: six birdies, two doubles, three bogies and seven pars. 73, 38 points though.

Last three nines are 42-41-40. Picked up a Nike covert driver I am hitting really well. The extra distance (internet 340, real world 250-260 total with rollout) over my 3wood has made an amazing difference in my game.

Also have spent a ton of time on my takeaway and tempo. Hope this is the new me and not a brief period of having timing match up. Feels different and smoother so hopefully the former.

33-34=67 for my lowest round ever. Par 70 though

This is so ridiculous - how I played the front nine par 5s today.

Hole 6 - 565 yards. Into the breeze. Solid drive in left side of the fairway. I have 305 yards in. Decide I am going to smash 3-wood and nearly miss the ball. Grounder dead left near a pine tree. Now I have 235 from a lie sitting down in the rough. I stubbornly hit 3-wood again, tip a tree branch on my backswing and somehow make a smooth move through the ball. Hole high 35 footer for birdie. Leave it short dead center. Par.

Hole 8 - 500 yards. This hole is always reachable in two and is playing downwind. Pop up drive, you know the kind where everybody says "nice drive" but you know you flipped it. 265 yards to the middle, 275 to the hole. I did it again? Heinous nearly missed the ball worm burner that only goes about 75 yards. Then I hit 5-iron about 198 yards to 15 feet. Lip out putt. Par.

Hooha +4 40 on the front nine.

Wow that is pretty funny. It's like in each case you hit your 2nd and 3rd shots in reverse order. lol

Currently funemployed, so I have played 4 18s this week. Par 71 course - 71, 75, 76, 78. Handicap down to 3.9, lowest it's ever been.

Up and down day 46-53
#1 389y par 4. Started with 2 perfect shots (DR - 9i) to give myself a 30fter for birdie on but 3-putted for bogey.
#2 Made of complete mess this one. 305y dog leg left par 4. It's only 200 to the corner, but I chunked my 3h about 100y and had to lay up. Overhit a PW into the tress and had to chip out. Then overhit the green and made 8.
#3 136y downhill par 3. Shake of the blowup from the last hole. PW to the edge of the green, about 8 ft for birdie. Snuck it in on the left edge for career birdie no 2!

Finished the front 9 with a solid 46 (+11), was swinging it beautifully, great relaxed day.
Get stuck behind a super slow group on the back nine, starting thinking about running out of time before work and get frustrated.
Fell apart and carded 53 on the back

Slow play, for me, is hugely -ev

90 on very tough track..

started having a case of the shanks on long irons..

need to get alot better with shorter putts again

lipped out in missing a hole in one

37 (par 35). 1 birdie, 1 double bogey.

I think I'm back. Figured out the swing problem - I so exaggerated efforts to try and hit a fade that I got everything all screwed up. Getting the path fixed so I come at it from the inside again made a huge difference with the driver.

The double was 1 shot for a bad bounce on the tee ball (right behind a big tree) and 1 shot for shortsiding myself by flushing a wedge right over the green. The birdie was a 9 iron on a short par 3 two fee past the hole. I had at least 4 other birdie putts within 15 feet, so: progress!

First round of club championship:

1: 420 yard par 4
Drive a bit of a toe draw worked out fine. 7 iron pulled a bit. Nice chip that didn't run out. 10 foot putt almost hung on the lip, but fell in. Par.

2: 435 yard par 4
Drive hooked into the rough, tree in the way about 190 left. Basically punched it up to 65 yards. Lob wedge over bunker onto back fringe. Tentative first putt from 40 feet, missed 8 footer for bogey barely. Double.

3: 180 yard par 3
Big sweeping hook 4 iron short on fringe 40 feet. Tentative putt to 6 feet. Made 6 footer Par.

4: 401 yard par 4
Water all along left. Hooked drive. Lucky to stay up by about 5 feet. Solid although big draw 8 iron from 140 to 25 feet. Super tentative putt 6 feet short. Barely missed it. 3 jack bogey.

5: 392 yard par 4.
Big huge drive down the middle. 9 iron from 135 to back fringe. Really quick downhill putt left 4 feet short. Drained the slider for the par.

6: 618 yard par 5:
Minor hook drive but stayed up. (2 feet left is dead and is a 1 shot penalty pitchout essentially). Hit an awesome 5 wood from a side hill lie. Low hook 4 iron from 185 is pin high but left in the rough. Got a little yippy on the chip, flubbed it short. Got a little yippy on the second chip bladed it to back fringe 40 feet. Left putt 7 feet short. Lipout. Nice triple bogey 8 when i was probably 30 feet from the hole lying three with a perfect lie.

7: 134 yard par 3.
Hit a perfect 9 iron right at the pin. It was like 10+ yards short. Insanely quick putt from fringe after last debacle. Barely got it onto the green and it stopped about 8 feet short. Putt dove left, tap in bogey.

8: 330 yard par 4.
Big drive to 20 yards. Putt from 20 yards off the green (lol) to 10 feet. Putt hit too hard, violent lipout, tap in par.

9: 381 yard par 4.
Big drive down the right (uphill). 110 left (uphill). Hit my 100 yard club to the back tier (120 yards), 45 feet away. Very nice lag putt to 4 feet. Made it, par.

+7, 42. bunch of wasted shots.

10: 414 yard par 4.
Big drive down the middle. 130 left. 9 iron left out right horrible shot in rough 45 feet away. Putt through about 3 feet of rough (lol) was pretty damn good to 3 feet. Made it. Par.

11: 532 par 5.
Big drive to 250 or so. Thought about giving it a go, but smartly laid up perfectly to 100. Hit my 58 (85 yard club) instead of my 52 (which is my 100 yard club) and of course I thought it was short and it went long into the bunker. Bunker was dry on top but wet underneath, clipped it nice, but went way too far, 30 feet. Putt went 4 feet past, barely made it for a bogey.

12: 154 yard par 3.
8 iron all over the pin to 12 feet. Misread and putt stupidly ran out 5 feet past. Made comebacker bogey.

13: 445 yard par 4.
Girls in pool laughed in my backswing and my preshot routine was horrible anyway, and I chunked my half swing driver way short of a 90 degree dog leg. Pitchout ran through fairway, but had okay third from 140 left. Pulled bad 8 iron into bunker. No green to work with, really tough shot. Hit it to 7 feet above hole. Straight downhill putt probably can't stop it if you miss it within 10 feet. Made it. Big bogey save.

14: 363 par 4.
Toe hook drive over the hazard thankfully, leaving a fine 9 iron in from 135. Inbetween clubs of course, took the shorter one and was 25 feet. Easy 2 putt (3 footer for par).

15: 215 par 3.
5 wood hooked into the goddamn water. Drop and have an impossible chip from down low. Hit an excellent one to 10 feet. Bogey putt literally hung over the hole. Tap in double. Ughh.

16: 293 yard par 4.
Waited for the idiots in the championship flight to clear the green so I could drive it to 10 feet. [IMG]http://s24.************/6nqwk387p/drive16.jpg[/IMG] Left eagle putt literally hanging over the right edge. Wind blowing the wrong way. Tap in birdie.

17: 517 yard par 5.
Yanked drive short and in left rough. Perfect 3 iron to 115. PW almost went in the hole, 6 feet long. Made a breaker center cut. Birdie.

18: 335 yard par 4.
Plays much longer up hill and you have to go around. Nice drive a little left 115 lucked out in between two grass bunkers. Scoopy crappy pitching wedge 15 yards short. Had to kill the putt to get it to 4 feet. Big slider made center cut. Par.

+2, 38. 80.

I am basically dead last in the first flight with that score. They are doing it net so I shot a "74". Only like 4 out of 15 guys broke 80 out of the championship flight weirdly and I usually play the back tees (today I played the one up from the backs).

My quest to break 80 wasn't going that well so I decided to play a super easy 6200 yd. muni course by my work with guys who are just getting into golf.

35 , 39 : 74

Feels kind of like cheating tho because there are no bunkers, water, and barely any rough but oh well. Im still on a quest to break 80 on a "real" course

Shouldn't you just be on a quest to break a certain index? That way you can compare courses? Your 74 there may have been akin to shooting 79 on a 72/113 course.

Thats actually what that course was. OR at least what was on the score card, but, there is no way thats was. No chance at all...

What course was this?

Was 10 over through the first 4 holes today and then even par the rest of the way cause sure why not
