I think it is time for some more lessons to get my consistency back on Par. I did hit a 25 foot putt from the fringe that made me smile, and one drive about 250 yards, but that was it. So I decided to make it a learning round and played my hybrid 5 multiple times, which actually worked for a change. Just treat it like an iron and hit away.

mtbloco;n8887962 said:Oh man...I just finished the first round at the course I got a players club card with. It's a par 71, 5937 yd. 68.1/125 course, from the "black" tees I play. (green, gold, black, red) Its layout has a lot of forced carries, some water, deep walled bunkers and mounts. It makes one really play location driven golf. very challenging and fun at the same time. It's in good condition the greens are a bit rough due to summer but still fast and well maintain. We had to play two holes from the red and two from the green due to re-sodding the tee boxes.
Here's the kicker...I shot a 45 on the front. and was on my way to a good back nine, until I puked it with some horrid bunker play. and took a 9 for a 53 on the back. But oh baby...I shot a 98!!! I had 4 pars and 6 bogies. I'm a bit excited that I played so well. and still left a lot on the table to improve.
I can't wait for Sunday's round.

And I think they were square wheels (like the train from the Island of Misfit Toys). Best hole was bogey - the rest were doubles & triples. I think I hit 2 good shots out of 53. Very frustrating, but the guys I was paired with were fun and the weather was beautiful. Just wish I could figure out where my swing went. I might have to put out a flier for it on a milk carton

Hamfist;n8888609 said:So, played the course I had mistakenly bought GroupGolf coupons for. It was....alright. Pretty good layout, interesting holes, OK shape. I’d play it again, ....if it weren’t a 90 minute drive. It’s not a destination course. I might still end up there next Saturday, because the money is already spent. If it were 30 minutes away, I’d definitely play there more.
Shot a 51/50.

I went out in 49 and brought it back in with a 44. That’s a new personal best of 93! :alien2: I had good contact on 17 of 18 tee shots. I really only remember one worm burner type shot. Even the ones that were short or off line were not bad at all. Greens were slow and bumpy but putting was ok. There were a couple strokes given away there. I did find a creek and two drainage ditches. So there may be a few strokes I can shave but for now, feeling good!

mtbloco;n8888755 said:Wow so close, did you know your total down the stretch? I purposely did not do the math. Btw what courses do you play? I grew up in northern Ohio. And learned to play in Norwalk.
thommo.sx;n8889126 said:A fairly satisfactory 41/42=83 (par 68 course). It's clearly a good score, but I reckon with a bit of care on a few putts, I could have shot in the 70's today. 83 shots, 41 putts. :doh: Greens and pins were vicious today.
I've also used the thrive wood, stuck my 5w shaft into my 3w head (@14.5°). Just the ticket today, hit a few real beauties, and gross parred 7 out of 18 holes. No trebles. When I apply DG's mental approach, I can't really complain - taking all the positives today.
I'm also upping my campaign to find a Driver head to stick on the 3w shaft. Pure coincidence. Don't look behind the curtain.:neutral:
Incidentally, we were playing the same course from just over a month ago where I posted the picture of that pretty little par 3 with the bonsai trees on it - here's a look more along the side (from the 16th green). You can see the tee box marker on the left.

jlaakso;n8889233 said:I have nothing good to report from today's round. Couple of good drives, negated by awful approach shots. Best was one bogeys, rest were worse or even a lot worse. Total 129 shots. Good thing is that only direction forward is up.
Hamfist;n8889444 said:Outstanding! Whereabouts in PA?
Hamfist;n8889442 said:Nice! Was the thrive off the deck, or the tee? Tinkering with clubs is fun.
