Got a quick nine in. Started with a par don’t want to talk about the rest.

played like a goddamn amateur. o wait i am 1.

I was trying some **** with my putter b/c I was told my putting alignment was off, so i tried to change it, but that wasnt it. Just couldnt hit ****.

But I do have a sick stinger 3, 5 wood of the tee. Hitting 3 wood 260-270 off tee with a draw, just perfect. So hitting the 3 wood of the tee more.

shot 37-39

Had one of the biggest disparities (sp?) ever today.
Played Carlisle golf club in Burlington today from the blues, 18 holes.
49 front/37 back. I missed an 18" par putt on the 18th hole to shoot my second best nine holes ever. The friggen ball went in, did a 360 around the hole and came back out.. I was already reaching for it as it started to drop, I wanted to puke when it didn't go in.
Thank god for a few triple bogeys that I got to eliminate for my handicap, so I still ended up with a 84.

edit: had 3 birdies on the back 9, I believe that's a first for me

29 stableford today. Played rather well but didn't score that well. Did win a high/low we were playing so I got a free beer.

Just can't get the consistensy from the range to the course, but it is getting there.

Had another quick nine
Something’s starting to go wrong set up feels a little awkward and the swing unnaturally contrived as if I'm pulling the club back onto the right plane with my hands and arms rather then turning the shoulders.
Managed to get round just about although I can see my slice starting to return off the tee.

Played yesterday at my favorite crappy little muni. The highlight of the round was a chip shot from about 35-40 yards. I was in the rough well off the green and had to get enough on it to clear a small hill just in front of the green. I hit it well and it took off, but it hit the pin and bounced right, ending up three feet from the cup. Then I two-putted. But I'm blaming that on the green being absolutely crappy--it was basically sand, and a few clumps of weeds, one of which deflected my ball away.

The bizarre thing is that the very first time I played I could actually hit the ball decently off the tee at least part of the time--there were a lot of whiffs and total mi****s, but at least once every four holes or so I'd have a really nice drive or tee shot. Now I can never seem to get the ball in the air at all, regardless of the club. Very frustrating. If I could just hit the ball 200 yards in the fairway even half the time, and then hit decent approach shots half the time, I'd actually be getting somewhere. Grrr.

37-40-77. Member-guest tournament. 10/13 fairways, 13/18 greens, 33 putts. One notably bad three putt (from three feet) - yipped a downhill slider six feet past the hole, missed coming back. I guess it was an improvement since it was the same hole - same cup I think - I four putted on Tuesday.

Played Stableford at West Middlesex I did just enough to win 19+10 for twenty nine. Came down the last one point up. My opponent pull-hooked a drive into the trees on the left I pushed faded a hybrid into the right rough he hacked out then hit to the turn of the dog leg in the middle of the fairway for three. I played safe again and took a six iron and tried to lay up in the fairway but pulled it towards the trees. I thought id seen it land in the left hand rough so did my opponent but it wasn’t to be found. I took a blob and had to look on nervously as he failed to get up and down with a pitching wedge.
I did have two very nice birdies earlier on in the round but blobbing the last two holes and losing three balls on them really takes the gloss off.

38-44-82.

Fantastic start. First hole, hit it to 4 feet. Putt burned the edge, par. Second hole, chipped in, birdie. Third hole, lag to 2.5 feet, hit best feeling putt of the weekend, lips out, bogey. Fourth hole, hit to 5 feet, putt takes a ****ing left hand turn across the front of the hole, par. Instead of being 3 under, I'm even. Dammit.

Fitting that on the last hole of the day, a par 3, I hit it to 3 feet and don't even sniff the cup with my ****ing putt. Nice short game jackass.

40-40-80 at Hawkshead Links in South Haven, MI. Played the blues (6576 yards, 70.7/122). First time I'd played there. Nice Arthur Hills design. Pretty wide open, so when the wind picked up after a couple holes it got quite a bit harder.

2 birdies, 3 doubles. I didn't track stats, but remember hitting 2 poor drives. I was pretty much never in the rough, which is thick long and nasty, except around the greens. The 60 degree wedge got a workout. Missed a couple short putts and left several one turn short, but I made an adjustment which seemed to produce a more consistent, on line roll.

46-42=88 at orchard Valley in Aurora today. 35 freaking putts. Opened with a 3 chip snowman on a 285 yard par 4 after trying to drive the green and blocking it into a bunker, and hitting the lip on the way out.

Sunday, standard ****ty round at reg sunday course, 42-35.


Today decided with 2 friends to go play travis pointe c.c.

Played very ****ty. 41 38, but seemed liek i shot a 90. Terrible irons and drives and puts, did ok with wedges and thats it. I have been hitting my woods amazing <3 R9 woods. Been hitting tigerlike stingers all the time of the tee.

Par 3 215 yards into the wind a bit. Buddy hits 3 iron comes up 5 yards short of pin in the sand. I dont carry a 3 iron, and this is like 1 out of every 3 rounds I would need one, so I take a 5 wood. I said watch this just like TW, gonna play a cut and take off distance. So I choke down, back of stance, swing like tiger, starts off 15 yards left, fades in there, rolls right past the pin, thought it was in for sure. was about 2-3 feet left for kick in bird.

shot 95 yesterday, about 10 shots more than i usually do...was crappy and refreshing at the same time.

73.

Best round of my life today on a legit 6500 yrd par 71 course.

Made double on 17, a par 3, after probably letting the fact that I was even through 16 (never even shot par for 9 holes prior to today) get to me and flubbing a pitch shot from the greenside rough.

Did regroup and par the last which is a tough 440 yard par 4 to an elevated green with a 9-iron in. I was pissed on 18 tee.

Congrats! One question: Did you make any birdies? Or were they all pars except for the double? I always wonder this–that if when people shoot par or just over, if they typically always have a mix of birdies, bogies and pars, or if it isn't that unusual to shoot par on every hole.

Played Stableford at West Middlesex

25 points Drove well and putted better then last time but full shots from the fairway were mostly very poor and my chipping was atrocious.
Donated money to the fourteen handicapper who as a gross 10 over, 3 over for the front nine.

I made 1 stinking birdie, but I never make birdies. Its really unbelievable how few birdies I make on average. I probably average about 1 per 18 holes it is common for me to have 0 birdies for a round. That said I almost never shoot above an 85.

1 birdie, 15 pars, 1 bogey, 1 double. I'm the most boring golfer on the planet.

Faldo once did 18 pars in the last round to win a major (I almost sure that it was The Open Championship).

If only I could do 15 bogeys and a little to each side

36 (par 35). One birdie, one really stupid double. 4/6 fairways, the two I "missed" were by a total of maybe four inches, shots that dribbled off the fairway into the left rough. One did end up in a terrible lie which lead to the double. 7/9 greens (1 miss was by an inch or two on the fringe), 18 putts. Really pleased with how the putts were rolling - I didn't put too many irons in close, so 2 putts were expected.

Played a very nice/tough course, 6650 yards but plays tougher then the yardage. A 137 slope, i think its high but i dont know what that means. great/bad round. I do very well on holes, avg on others, and i blow up with bogeys and 2 doubles. had 2 birdies and yes about time an eagle, 2 this year only, and 3 if u count the hole in 1.

40-37. 18th hole, most undulating green on course. 480 or 485 yard par 5. Plays almost as long as like 17 which is a par 4. Had a 4 iron in pulled it wayyy left, and leaves me downhil with a massive downhill green. So I just say ****kk. I open my sand wedge as much as possible, and swing full. Lands right before the cup takes a tiny hop and its in.

SHIPPP the eagle

I finally did it today! Even par 72 at my home course. 6400 yards, 71.2 rating, 121 slope.

Shot 35-37 with 4 birdies and 4 bogeys. One of those rounds where some putts were falling and I got a couple of good shot-saving breaks. Was -1 standing on 18 tee. Probably the toughest hole on the course. 440 yard dogleg left. Pulled my drive way left into the cabbage. Hacked out to about 65 yards. SW to about 10 feet and missed the putt to shoot 71. My heart was pounding for the last 3 holes!

Awesome. I hope to do that some day.

No official score today, went out and played 11.5 holes this evening. Made 3 birdies. If pressed, I would say I was 1 or 2 over, had some directional issues with the full swing. I'm really excited about my putting right now, I've now had back to back days of rolling it well with a handful of putts that felt super pure.

congrats squeek!!!


i had 5 birdies and 5 bogeys at Twin Creeks, Allen TX today. been playin a lil better lately, lots of E or +1's instead of 76-78

Twin Creeks is a cool course. Allen was a surprisingly okay place to spend an afternoon.

West Middlesex
Stableford 29 points
Played badly but picked up a bit on the back nine had a monster drive on a par four that I can't reach in two on an average day leaving myself about 150 to the flag. Sadly I had gone through the far side of the fairway and under a bush I had to knock it out low and then fatted a pitching wedge short then over shot the green into a tree with a pitch and had to pick up.
