Made my first ever albatross on Sunday while on a golf trip in Phoenix with some members at my club. Didn't get to see it go in, but screamed like a little girl when we got to the green and it was in the cup.

Couple of weeks ago, last tournament of the year to capture player of the year in a Fedex cup type points format - was knuthd 2 strokes to a +2. Thought I had to go out and shoot a gross 67/net 69 to have a chance of winning player of the year, was in tied third going in to the final tournament.

 

Had it at -5 through 16 holes then hit a flyer on 17 over the green and made actually a good bogey and then chased a birdie on the last and 3 putted for bogey for a 69/net 71.

 

When the last group came in I had won by one shot. Was very happy with setting a target and strategy of not chasing pins and having birdie putts.

 

 

Had a few more low rounds since then and now a +0.9, my lowest ever. The gym and flexibility work and focus on a couple of mechanics has me playing my best golf. Will do some USGA and NCGA events next year.

I had two personal bests this weekend:

- First time breaking 80 (shot 79 on a par 72 course)

- First time shooting under par for 9 holes (shot a 35, 1 under on the back nine)

 

I'm a legitimate 20.1 index. With the course/slope ratings of 65.6/112 that calculates to a 13.1 index for that round.

 

I was actually pretty embarrassed, as my blind draw partner and I took $41 of the $110 pot (there are multiple games going on for our $10 entry fee) due to shooting so far under our course handicaps.

 

During the summer I normally play the game at our club that plays the longer tees (6,237), but with the limited number of people who show up during the fall/winter, we combine groups and play a shorter set of tees (5,243) to accommodate the more seasoned members. Course handicaps are adjusted accordingly.

 

Due to the shorter length I was able to hit less than driver off the tee much of the time. I was able to keep my tee shots in play, my approach shots were mostly really good, and my short game / putting were solid.

I am just excited to be posting on this topic for a second time after a year filled with no progress. A couple of weeks ago I finally posted even walking off 18. Last Friday a few too many bogeys, but 5 birdies allowed a 74 and it could have went a couple lower very easily and a good putting round would have made the sixties realistic.

I really have to credit getting away from club HOing and getting back to some plain old irons that I know what to expect from with a decent swing. My driving has been a little worse than I expect from that part of my game and half wedges are pretty poor. On the other hand, full iron shots have been as good from 200yards in as I can ever remember and I will turn 60 this month.

Golf season is over but if I can keep a club in my hand at least once a week or so this winter, I think I have a chance to get my HC where I had hoped to have it at the end of this season! Time to forget equipment and work on golf for a change. If my sig does not show a 5HC this time next year, then I will be disappointed...again :-).

In July I reached a par 5 in 2 on one of the most difficult courses in NJ by hitting a 3-wood to pin high 15 feet from 295 with a forced carry over water of 279. Covered the water easily. Easy 2-putt for birdie. My shot of the season and one of the best 3-wood shots I've ever hit during a round.

Worked over night last night. slept to 2pm. had some food and was like I should go practice. Range was closed so was like ok lets play 9. Started 2-3-2....eagle, birdie, birdie. holed out from 85 yards for eagle on 1.... finished the 9 at -1 which was very good, but definitely felt the nerves standing on the tee on #4 at -4, lol. Golf is a funny game like that. Went out with a headache and not my normal sleep pattern and boom best start of my life.

I've been struggling to break 90 lately and shot 85 yesterday (with a triple bogey) to beat my buddy by two strokes. He's a 9 and I'm a 14. Been a long time since I beat him.

Just read a study that said the average couple shares an intimate moment around 90 times a year. It started me thinking that it's going to be a helluva busy December.

 

You haven't seemed to be posting quite as much lately. ;-)

You mean a helluva last week in December.
