37-39-76

2 birdies, no doubles

Started out great. Had 165 and an 8 iron into the 500y par 5 1st to 10 feet. Of course I missed the eagle putt. Started with 8 straight GIRs. Feels good to be playing good again.

Awesome Scott. Knew you’d bounce back after the injury

35-43-78

Hit 8 iron into #1 again today and 2-putt birdied it. Made par the rest of the way on the front. Turned into bogey golfer guy on the back.

43-41-84 Par 69

5 Pars - 12 Bogeys - 1 Double (3 off the tee for the double)

Just a lot of Bogeys today, Wasn't kind of with it with such a early tee time and little sleep. A lot 10-15 putts lipped out like 6-7 off the top of my head.

Ended up playing the back 9 with some old guys who were actually very good you can tell they have played for such a long time. 1 of them was trying the Pro V1 Xs and found them to hard so he gave me a few of them which was nice.

Overall decent day for not being with it, If that's a bad/average day I'll take it. Had fun bantering with the old guys, Really nice weather to got a little burnt on the arms though.

Treated myself to some SM8 wedges today, went with a 48/54/60 I did have a 50/54/60 my wedges were so old I think it was time I had MP10 wedges so yeah a long time.

38-42 80 - 7 fairways, 8 greens 33 putts (only one 3 putt - yay); 2 birdies and 2 doubles. Played really solid. Doubles were an unplayable hitting it over a green under a tree and then a 3 putt after a punch out. birdies were a par-3 pw to 6 feet and a par-5 greenside in 2 and got it up and down.

Tee game was nothing special but didn’t get into trouble either.

golfed for 4th day in a row today. last 4 rounds:

88
106!!!!!!!
97
91

my game is a wild ride.

91 was today with two quads. gross. but man that 106 had me wanting to throw up.

41-45-86. 1 birdie, 2 double bogeys.

Swing went AWOL on the back nine. Chipping is definitely improving, missed way too many short putts for par.

finally totaled and posted. the differential ranged between 20 and 26. HC will go up a full point next revision. not sure if i should end it all or bet the house this summer.

Bet the house

Playing again today really hot day where I am, bringing out the trolley just so I can fill it with fluids.

That hot weather got the best of me.

40-43-83 Par 69

10 Pars - 4 Bogeys - 1 Double - 1 Quad

I had 6 one putts - 3 three putts rest 2.

I was actually doing alright nothing to crazy then on the 14th took the wrong club on the small par 3 and went right into the bush, duffed a chip shot ended up making a triple with a drop.

Next hole was a 500 Yard Par 5, Tee shot ended up in the rough next to a small tree so chipped out. Hit a alright wood little left. I had a little 9 iron in from the rough but it just flew the green. knifed a chip back over the green chipped on 3 putt made a quad

So apart from them to blow up holes I would of had a decent score,

Important realization - EXPECTATIONS SUCK

They are just no good, we'd all be better off if we stepped on the first tee with zero expectation one way or another.

Regarding pre-round warm up, the goal is to get the muscles loose, that's it. You aren't concerned with how you are hitting it, that's for practice sessions. The only goal is to get the body loose. When you are on the course your body doesn't care whether or not you striped it on the range.

Results of warming up before the round mean absolutely nothing.

thanks for the reminder BO. i know all of this but still get hung up on it.

Agree I've actually stopped hitting balls before my round. I just loosen up by swinging some without a ball. I've never found that a range session has helped my round, even when I was striping it. Alternatively I've had awful warm up sessions that have wrecked my confidence before I even get to the first tee. Better off just loosening up, go to the first tee, and play the game.

41 (par 36). No birdies, 1 double bogey.

Pretty uneventful. Hit one bad shot, a poor tee ball into the wind on a par 3, and backed that up with a three putt. A couple other three putts from long range and one failed up and down.

40-38-78 (Par 68)

11 Pars - 4 Bogeys - 3 Doubles

Actually surprised I got this score didn't realise I was on a good round until the 17th.

1 of the doubles was 3 from the tee as I hit it OB was shocked it went so far right and 1 of the doubles was from a top tee shot going about 20 yards haven't done that in a while.

Really happy with that round though. 6 pars on the back 9. 50% GIR. 32 putts (14 on the back)

Edit new Wedges feel good love the 48 degree, Get Shotscope tomorrow hopefully but won't be playing until Friday/Weekend

42-38-80

No birdies, no doubles

It's come down to when I don't touch a club for 3 days it takes me 9 to get going again. 7am tee time so no warm up.

back to back 38s on my home course par 35 for my best score in about 10 years. Doubled 1 and no doubles after. Had 3 birds, 2 4 footers and a 15 footer. I have been doing Adam Young's 8 week course and this was only my second round of the year. All I changed is addressing the ball at the toe since I'm a shanker with a massive heel bias. Never hit irons better.
My score was so low in regards to my handicap it lowered my last 20 rounds by 1.0 as some sort of penalty. "A -1 Exceptional Score Reduction has been applied to this score differential."

That took me to a 13.5, my goal is to get to a 7.9 this year. Weather has been so bad this year though I've barely been able to play.

Awesome!

Nice congrats!

44-38 = 82.

Monthly team play yesterday. I haven't played since the Memorial Day tournament where I shot an abysmal 95, and hadn't played much before that. I'd like to say I'm happy, but I'm still frustrated that every time I go out I seem to have a different swing, even though everything feels the same (it just flies different). With my swing yesterday I feel like I could have shot mid-70s no problem, but I made too many mental errors, and I suck out of the sand. Even the 44 felt good swing-wise, I just had a hard time factoring in the very heavy winds, resulting in a triple when I way overshot the green, and a couple of bogeys on easy holes that should have been pars given where I was in the fairways. I also reached a par 5 in two (there was a LOT of wind), but three putted after ****ing up the long lag.

Would have had a KP on a very tough par 3, but my "perfect" shot rolled slightly off the green. Had my name on the card for another KP with about 80% of the field through, but it didn't even tee off on the next hole before I got beat by 6" (which held). I missed a tricky 4-footer on the last hole that took me out of the individual net money, but I still got 5th out of 80 runners. I wish I could say I like where things are, but I have no confidence my game will be the same next time I play.

45-53-98. my home course is a par 72, 69.5/120 FWIW.

i feel like "i'm close." i was fine until hole 14. dogleg left to a tough elevated green. perfect 5 iron to middle of fairway. SHANKED 9 iron. then bad chip. then chip on. then putt OFF. 3 from there for a quad.

then hole 16 was an absolute disaster. took a 9 on a par 4.

so +26 and i played the final 5 holes +13.

stupid game.

very nice!

46-45-91

Frustrating round. Drove it well and hit a bunch of fairways, but everything else was just a little bit off. Irons just missing the green a little long or left, chips were consistently way short, bunch of 3-putts. Ball striking was not bad, no shanks or lost balls or major meltdown holes... just a slow bleed of bogeys and doubles. Everything just slightly out of sync. Get em next time!

38-44-82

2 birdies, 4 doubles

Hit the ball great, didn't score. The 2 or 3 bad swings I had all day were in the worst possible spots. Had 3 3-putt bogeys as well. The two birdies were of the 2-putt variety.

Yesterday: 47-47-94. No birdies, 1 triple, many doubles. 73.0/142/6700 yards

Played longer tees than I ordinarily would to be social. The added distance wasn't a big deal and I'm not unhappy with the score considering. Some of the big number was just not knowing the landing areas. Ball striking was hit or miss - some really good shots and some stretches where it went AWOL.

Today: 45-45-90. No birdies, several doubles. 70.3/130/6150 yards

This round on the other hand was complete ass. Not much quality ball striking and didn't make a putt. Going to be some changes in the bag.

Also played a bonus nine as a two man scramble, finished +2 with two bogeys and a double. LOL. Did hit a good drive on the last hole so there is a little hope for tomorrow.
