What Did You Shoot Today? (Continuation)

[jli2636]

Played Saturday for the first time in a while. No idea how I did it with how poorly I felt I hit the ball, but 39-40 for a 79. Had a kick in eagle, 1 double, 9 bogeys, and the rest pars.

After playing the goat track with terrible greens Saturday, I made it to my home course this afternoon for a quick 9. My eleven year old daughter tagged along and drove the cart. Without so much as a warm up swing I shot a 2 over par 38. I had 3 bogeys and a birdie. Made 2 long putts that really helped. I sure do love putting on fast, smooth rolling greens. Played the 9 in 1 hour.

[Swible]

Broke 70 today!!!! 6 birdies 2 bogeys. Changed my putting stroke to a more open stance and what a difference!! 68 but the course has a 70 rating and 121 slope. Framing the card and ball. ⛳⛳⛳⛳⛳⛳??

Shot an 81 yesterday on my short local muni. Rating is 68, par 70, slope 117. Had to start on the back 9 first and was 3 over. Started spraying my drives on the front which got me into trouble and carded 2 doubles on 1 and 2. Got my head back in the game and was 8 over going into my last hole, then realized that a par would get me a 78, which would be a personal best... Pretty easy hole too, straight forward 350 yds, ob left and trees on the right, but between the rough and the fairway you have about a 50 yd wide landing area that is playable from. I wind up for a big hulking drive and hit it ob left. There goes par... Hitting 3 from the box got to my head and I carded a triple for the hole. Oh well, there is always next time. 1 birdie, 9 pars, 5 bogies, 2 double bogies, 1 triple bogey. 8 GIR, 32 putts, 5/13 fw. I really need to work on my tee game.

78 today. Been playing nice lately and HC trending down.

 

Please talk me out of changing something in my bag, I have the itch to!

[FlyingLaw1]

74 today. Had a really rough first 6 holes. Driver was all over the place. Got it fixed and played wayyy better.

[NoTalentLefty]

95 without anything over a double bogey. Pathetic. No pars on the back nine.

[elwhippy]

78. Putter a tad cold and a couple of poor decisions. Other happy with the striking. The company was good as well.

[medicoreMAgolfer]

98, right after my index fell below 14 for the first time in a long time. 7 and 6 on par 3's on the front, two 4 putts, no lost balls off the tee, one OB shot out of a bunker. Not sure I could have played worse the closer I got to the hole. Just atrocious.

 

Good news - 8:30 tee time this morning, right back at it...

[ThinkingPlus]

Miserable 81 yesterday. I misread so many putts. About 5 strokes over my index, but felt so much worse given 38 putts for the round. Ball striking was surprisingly good given very recent change (day before) to hand positions at setup.

[deadsolid...shank]

Turned a couple of very potential rounds in the 60's into 74's.

 

Friday came to 17 (#18 handicap hole) at 2 under. Couldn't really figure out how I wanted to play it with the wind, so promptly made a crappy swing, hit it in the lake and made double. Then 18, pull my tee shot a bit, but hit it well. We searched all around the trees and concluded it must have gotten stuck up in a big spruce. Back to tee, another doubl(and then someone finds my original farther up, with very reasonable shot.

 

Saturday was just the putter being off. 10 very realistic birdie chances. Made one.

 

But I won't complain too much, both scores were good enough to make a little cash.

[adam667220]

Shot a bipolar 81. +9 45 on the front (even with a birdie) then an even par 36 on the back. Now if I could only put together two good 9s at once.

[tcarrow]

A tale of two nines... 51 on the front, 38 on the back. Lipped out 10 footers all day, but closed with a 45 footer on 18 for par. Best putting day ever for me, just couldn't keep it in bounds on the front.

[soregongolfer]

6 under 66. A new PB for me. I just framed the scorecard lol.

[Pepperturbo]

Yesterday, a few too many brain farts followed me around to a 77.

[Shrapnac]

85 today, first time I've broken 90. Nothing exciting just boring two putt par and one putt bogey golf.

 

Seven pars, five on the front including four in a row which was a pretty good feeling. I putted very well, had one three putt but that was because of a bad decision.

 

Looking forward to shooting 102 the next time I play!

[ebk]

Tale of two nines (par = 35-36): 42 (even after a bird on #1) - 36 (12 putts on back nine).

I'm on a 2 week family vacation while my clubs are sitting very lonely at home, so I'm living vicariously through all of your round descriptions. I'm not in a rush to get back to work, but I may have to find a thrift store and buy a putter or wedge and a couple of balls for the hotel room.

[jli2636]

Played AL Gustin on the Mizzou campus today, shot 82 with a triple and 2 3-putts. Really disappointing round as I played a set of tees up with a friend, but had I played from my normal tees it would have been even worse. Greens were atrociously slow which made putting very difficult.

[Warrick]

My home course is not difficult, but I finally broke par today with a 69 (-2).

[8602081]

walked a 9 today..

shot 40

[jacobEDGE]

My personal lifetime best.

I hadn't played a round of golf in over 2 months and have barely swung a club in that time. Baseball season is nearing the end (coaching 2 teams) and I finally had some time to get out. I went to the range once last week and it was pretty sketchy. I played a really tough course on Friday night (74+ course rating). I wasn't keeping official score (hitting extra shots here and there, taking a drop instead of back to the tee, etc) but I would have probably shot around an 83/84. I hit a lot of good shots but also hit 3 or 4 absolutely terrible shots that were long gone (3 foot grass off the fairway there, not even worth looking for most of the time). It felt really good to get out but I was quite rusty.

 

I played again yesterday and was a little more serious. The driver was left all day and I missed quite a few iron shots long and/or left. The short game was pretty good and that kept me in the round. All in all, I was pretty happy. I shot a 75 with 2 balls in the water and missing more than half of my fairways and greens. I missed left with the driver 7 times (I guess I don't learn) and missed greens long and/or left on 8 holes. I was hitting the ball a lot further than I was expecting. I'm not sure if that is a swing thing or just not playing in this kind of weather for a long time and my yardages are all off. It was 56* and soggy the last time I played.

 

Fairways - 6/14

Greens - 8/18

Putts - 29

[MoneyPlayer33]

Games rounding in form just in time for next weeks state amateur. Shot 69-69 the last two days . Iron play best its been in years.

 

Early in season i didnt have tims to play much because if a busy work schedule so i just hit the range alot and now i an seeing ths benefits

[NJPhil]

Shot an 86 today, best tee to green round of the season. Had some trouble on the greens, King & Bear recently aerated, but happy with the direction my game is going. The biggest thing I have noticed is my misses are less off center and less loss in distance.

[nickmcd63]

Shot an 82 at a local course in Minnesota - Rush Creek.

[ThinkingPlus]

Shot 75 today. Finished strong with a double on 17 and a bogie on 18. Yes! Two poor driver swings pulled left (one snuggled up behind a tree while the other was trying to make love to a Sawgrass bush). Still matched the course rating so I got that going for me.

[scagnetti]

What did I shoot today? How about myself in the foot?

 

Worst ball-striking day in I dunno how long... Driver didn't get going until I stopped keeping score (score card below courtesy of the caddy) toward the end of the front nine...

 

I just can't seem to break 90 on this course. Tough tough day...

 

 

[baylorlefty]

My irons and wedges are currently being re-shafted, so I borrowed the clubs rental G25's with Pings light weight stock shafts. Proceeded to fire a 38 on the front. Made 2 doubles on the back, was 7 over going into 18 a 450 yard par 4 that plays into the wind. Good drive and pulled my approach into the right bunker. Here I was thinking let's get out of trouble and limp in with bogey. Pured my bunker shot and spun right in the hole for a finishing birdie and 78!

80 today. Best part was I played early and was done in 2 hours and 50 minutes.
