36-38-74
(Par 70, 66.3 rating from whites)

Short, easy course that I love to play when I want to build confidence and have a chance to score well. My goal is to shoot even par here before the end of the season. (My best is a 71 last year.)

2 birdies, 6 bogeys, 10 pars
7/12 fairways, 7/18 greens, 29 putts (no 3-putts)

Nothing really of note, other than a stupid birdie on a par-5 where I drove it behind a tree, punched out about 100 yards and left myself more tree trouble, then hit a branch on my approach and somehow still made it to the fringe. Then I hit the stick with my putt and it dropped. No way I deserved a 4 there.

70.2/124 Par 71

I eagled the 18th again, however the wind was exactly opposite of last time. Last time, I went Driver-7-iron. This time, I went Driver-4-wood.

39-36 for 75.
2 birdies
1 double bogey
1 eagle
1 3-putt

Short game sucked, sprayed the ball all over made a few par putts to make it slightly less awful. Not sure on the 9 hole rating 70/115

39
16 putts one three putt.
2/7 FIR
4/9 GIR
1 birdie no doubles

41-44-85 on a par 72, 5,800 / 64 something / 117.

Round with some customers and they wanted to play from the whites. They're high 90's, low 100's shooters.

Fun to play from the whites but I had too many beers and fell apart on holes 8 thru about 15. I should actually go play serious rounds from the whites and try to score.

42 - 46 - 88. Par 72, weekly comp. Brutal stuff. First five holes +1, and first 3 often give me trouble. Then started to melt down. Lately irons and wedges have been really good, now just lost them. Duffs, shanks, thins. In may that would have been the norm, but now when you think you know how to hit em and then start to suck, it´s pretty awful. Top-3 most frustrating round. A couple of days off and try again.

37-39-76 (71.0/141 6,250y)

1 eagle, 1 birdie, 11 pars, 3 bogeys, 2 doubles
6/14 FIR, 11/18 GIR, 31 putts (no 3-putts)

Always fun starting -2 through 1 hole. Good drive and had 226 to the pin. Ball above my feet and I pulled the ball 40 yards right of the green. Pitched in from there for eagle.

Such a pathetic display of sucking after starting even after 8. Couldn't hit a drive on the back 9, was way low on the face and felt like most were a slight negative AOA which results in awful spin monsters that are luck to go 250. Oh and I couldn't make a single putt

43-44-87. 72.2/125, 6,325 yards.

No birdies, blah. Three-putted two par 5's for pars on the front -- Rage.
Played decent for how much I drank. Last few rounds have definitely been more casual than I'd normally like. Sunday should be a good competitive round.

48-45-93. No birdies, 3 doubles, 1 triple, 1 quad. 70.2/125, just over 6,000 yards.

I would mention some positives but there weren't any.

2-man scramble on the home course, 36-34 - 70, net 66. First birdie on 10th, was pulling my hair wondering how I birdie less in scrambles than by myself. We did birdie 15-17th but terrible bogie on 18th. One more bogie earlier. I played pretty bad, my friend played better. 10th place out of 50, winning score 61, I guess that could be done if both have a good day. Hope I one day play well in one of those.

39-39-78 (71.0/141 6,250y)

3 birdies, , 8 pars, 5 bogeys, 2 doubles
8/14 FIR, 11/18 GIR, 33 putts (no 3-putts)

This was the round that could have been under par if I could just putt. I hit four greenside bunkers, 3 of which shots were within 8 or less feet and missed every putt. Had a stretch on 11-14 where the longest birdie putt I had was 7 feet. I missed the first 2 and made the next 2. All together of the 11 birdie putts I had, 8 were inside of 20 feet, and five of those were 8 feet or less.
Ended bogey, double. Went for the green on 18 from 236y and didn't make it. Hit my 4th in as well.

Handicap will be 4.8 on the next revision.

I am pretty pleased with the round. While I wouldn't say I played great I played smart and well. Hit it way better off the tee than it looks, all my misses but 1 were just fine and the 1 recovery shot I still was able to get it into the green side bunker and made par. I don't think I had a drive under 250 so that makes life much easier.

I was only above the hole once and managed to 2 putt by making the 9 foot come back putt up the hill. This course is death from above the hole you just will never ever putt well. The 3 putts was one that was a 30 footer that I had to aim 10 feet left of the hole and the other was a 60+ footer where I thought I hit a great lag, got to about 2 feet then decided to u turn and leave me 10 feet below hole. I hit a ton of good putts that just didn't go in.

I truly love this course, my favorite in the area and I seem to learn something new about it every time I play it which is good since it is one of the 2 courses that hosts the city tournament.

44-42-86

bleh. 1 birdie, 3 doubles, i triple

45-43-88

Meh. Lots of bad iron shots, weak flares short and right. Think I hit 2 flush irons all day. Feel like I'm hitting instead of swinging, way too much tension and right arm involvement. Some range work this week hopefully.

43-41-84. 1 birdie, 3 doubles.

Hit a couple of really good drives. Managed to get up and down at least once. Eventually regained some touch with the putter. Everything else pretty much sucked.

43-42-85 (72.3/135, 6,570 yds).

My best round at this course from those tees in a bit. Tough track.

Two birdies. Chipping and putting definitely salvaged some bad irons and wonky drives.

Shot a 42-40 at Druids Glen in Covington, south of Seattle (my brother lives in nearby Kent). I hate hearing this and hate saying it, but that's "the worst I could have scored." I left at least three 5-10 foot birdie/par putts short, and couldn't capitalize on the "scoring" holes. Also took me a few holes to get in a rhythm; I haven't played in a couple of weeks, which for me this summer is a "big" break (funny how it's all relative).

Re: the course. Ugh. It was in HORRIBLE shape. Wasn't a good sign when my dad asked the starter how things were out there and he said, "well, we fired the superintendent." They should have done it a while ago. It wasn't just in poor shape, it was in "somebody ****ed up bad" shape. Fairways were pretty much in pick-and-clean, greens super patchy and unpredictable. I really hope they get it figured out, because it's a beautiful and interesting track that I'd love to play when it's in good shape.

43 - 38 - 81, the par 72 course. Weird round. Had a couple of shanks and some irons felt off so feeling was brutal at times. But driver did not get into trouble and pretty good putts, so have not hit many better scores on that course.

Gotta give props to the course maintenance, both courses are in very good shape. Little wind lately, so only to look into the mirror if can´t score. On Wed need to play 80 or less I think on the easy course to have a good chance at the final (one more leg on the tougher course to come).

That's terrible news about Druids. I really like that course (I live about a half-hour away), and haven't been out there this year. Guess I don't need to worry about making that trip anytime soon.

I haven't played enough this year, so my goal for the next few weeks is to tee off at dawn a couple of times a week, which should get me home in time to start working by 9.

Today's round (par 70, 66.3/109 from the whites):

36-37-73
1 birdie, 4 bogeys, 13 pars
7/12 fairways, 9/18 greens, 29 putts

This is the round where I probably could have hit par if I didn't putt like an idiot. Missed three birdie putts from inside of 10 feet; the only one I made was on 18, from 40 feet or so. Gladly would have traded in the bomb to get the three close ones back. Also got up and down out of a bunker, which is rare for me, so there's that.

40 (par 35)

lol Tuesday night golf.

Was pretty happy after hitting 3 very good pitches -- one to tap in distance, the other two within 3 feet ... and then I shanked one. Dammit.

Played 9 alone as a practice round. I had the driver and was hitting 60+ yard double crosses over and over. Put the driver on time out and played another 9 with some guys and shot -1 35 using my 3 wood on every hole. It helped I averaged 256 with the 3 wood but now I am confused. Golf is weird.

Henrik Stensen ITT.

41 - 44 - 85. Easy par 71. Crap. Yeah can´t hit irons anymore. Was a nice couple of weeks when it was easy, now back to hacking at the ball and trying to figure out whats going on. Front-nine got up-down and survived but could not keep that up. Woulda been fun to play the weekly comp final, but now prolly gonna miss it. Also messed up filling the scorecard and lost a shot, now if I miss by one shot in the final standings it will suck quite a bit.

39 (+1, par 38) 39.5/145 around 3500y
1 birdie, 2 bogeys, 4/8 FIR, 5/9 GIR (15 putts)

Played a combo of the front and back this am. Course was way too wet for anybody to be playing on it. We were drenched on Tuesday and it's still standing water flowing out from the wetlands.

Drove the ball in the middle of the fairway on 18 and couldn't find it because it was plugged. Gave myself the benefit of the doubt and dropped one without penalty since I did see it land.
