My club is starting a two man 9 hole scramble match play weekly tournament that will run from the first week of June thru the end of August. Four of us played a test match yesterday afternoon just to see how the format worked and it turned out to be pretty enjoyable. My partner and I were 2 down...

44 tonite in our second week of summer mens league. Seven bogeys, one double and a par. Didn’t hit a single bad shot (no OB’s, unplayable, duffs, etc) but nothing great either, just a middle of the road round. Putting was where I could have gained strikes, 18 putts for the round…

Started my day early with a turkey hunt. Got lucky and tagged one by 6am. Home for breakfast then doing some chores and yard work with the wife. Started watching the Truist Championship in the afternoon and by 5pm I couldn’t take it anymore, I raced over to the club and played 9. Shot a 41 and...

I usually say something like “just one good shot a hole” with the hope they’ll start stringing a few good ones together.

At my Florida home course I use DoD often, I’d say at least once per round. The course is exceedingly narrow with overhanging trees and Spanish moss on most fairways. Eight holes are sharp doglegs also where there are “windows” thru the trees at the turns. DoD is very effective for me in both...

First men’s league round at my home course up north tonite. It’s always an adjustment from Florida golf. Elevation, different grass, dirt under the grass vs sand, etc. Despite all that and temps in the low 60’s with rain showers I still managed a 43, despite a triple on #1. Today was also the...

No doubles is always good!

I left MS Monday and arrived in VT today. Along the I85/I77/I81 corridor prices ranged from $2.85 to $2.95/gal until we hit PA. From there into NY prices jumped to between $3.29 to $3.59/gal. Couple hours ago in northeast VT I topped off at $3.08/gal.

Played my last April round on Saturday. Index is at 15.1 for now. My club up north opens on May 6th so we’ll see what happens then.

Final Florida round for the winter before we head north tomorrow. 40/47=87 in the Saturday morning skins game. Started off with a birdie and a string of pars but then I remembered it was skins and started taking chances I otherwise wouldn’t have. Sixteen players and there ended up being only two...

Mens league 18 this morning, straight up net scores. With a 9 course handicap it’s hard to place. Winner today was a guy I played with, his 25 ‘cap made his 93 a 68. My PB on our course is a 79 which would still come up short to that. Didn’t play well at all today, shot 46/42=88. But hey, that’s...

I switched to the Wilson Triad this winter. Great all around ball for my style of play. Then last week I found a Wilson Staff Model X. Decided to try it and wow, it’s even better. Much higher compression and it really pops off the club face of my woods and long irons but still plays well around...

Home course back nine this evening after supper. Six pars, 3 bogeys for a 39. 15 putts, 3 up and downs, 33% GIR, 71% FIR. Pretty happy with my game right now.

Hardly ever. Last winter I did manage to get on in two on the shortest of our par 5’s. It’s a 90 degree dogleg right. My drive ended up on the right side in the rough short of the corner and I hit a 7W cutting the corner and over the trees. Got really lucky with the shot and then got lucky again...

Up north it’s Vermont National CC. I’ve never been invited to play there but my younger brother has. Funny story, years ago one of the owners of the company he worked at was a member and invited him for a round. He showed up early, parked and was sitting on a bench out front waiting for his boss...

Played a new to me course across town this afternoon. Place was in really good shape but the layout was unremarkable, quite boring actually. Played well, 39/42=81 from the white tees. Played alone, a mom and dad with their two young boys let me play thru on the second hole and I never saw...

Five pars, three bogeys and a double for 41 on the home course back nine last evening. About half of our driving holes are exceedingly narrow, like 20-25 yards between overhanging trees, so I’ve been favoring direction off those tees vs distance by using my 3W. Pretty happy with the resulting...

I play a lot in the winter, 4-5 times a week on average. I probably chip in once or twice a week. I use a wedge around the greens 90-95% of the time. All our greens are small and all but two are elevated. Putting uphill thru the collar/fringe makes it extremely difficult to control speed and...

39 on the front nine of the home course last evening. Only bad thing was working in between the fairway sprinklers on 6 and 7 lol.
