Sunglasses and sideways glances. She'll still think you're a creep, but you can at least convince yourself she doesn't notice.
Keep that pic of you holding the headless Monaco in your phone. Show her so she can see how serious your game is.
sounds like you are making some great progress Hawk! My home course has narrow fairways and thick rough too so I know what you mean when you talk about missing fairways, esp with tree lined holes.
The second of my two courses close by is like that. Narrow fairways and trees. Might as well be lined with water, high cliffs or lava. Miss the FW and youre doomed.
Lava along side the fairways. Now that might be enough encouragement to find more fairways and put the big stick away.
I'm just amazed at how freaking thick our rough is right now. It's rained so much in the last month that it's just getting jungle-ish they aren't mowing it as much. I would like to see a first cut/second cut set up too. Not that it matters in the trees, but it would be nice for those barely missed fairways.
I'm glad someone is getting some rain. Our course has been bone dry for several weeks now. We've had less than an inch of rain since April and not a single drop in the past three weeks.
We will be dry soon enough. We end up getting a ton of hardpan towards the end of the year, which is worse in many ways I think. My main complaint with the length of the rough right now is that it can be so damn hard to find your ball. You can know exactly where you hit it and still search for a bit before you see it.
that just made me LOL. At my course they actually just started experimenting with 2nd cut because they don't want to widen the fairways. It's made it a little easier, but if you in the regular rough there's a good chance you're hacking it out and trying to make par the hard way.
Oh the blow up hole, how I wish I could get rid of you. Played a golf course I had never played on Saturday. I had a couple blow up holes where I just did stupid stuff, but the worse was a 550 yard par 5. I teed off perfectly with a 6 iron to lay up in front of a lake, because it takes 260 to carry the lake off the tee. I'm thinking I'm in great shape, proceed to take out my 3 iron, and chunk it into the lake. Drop a ball, 3 iron again from the same spot, top the ball, into the lake. Decide to drop on the other side of the lake, in the rough, catch it thick with the 3 iron, move the ball 10 yards, still in the rough. Put the 3 iron away at that point, ended up taking a 9 on the hole.
Two holes later, played perfect shots in for a birdie. I'm getting much better at letting the bad holes go.
I'm posting this in 2 threads (breaking 85 and breaking 90) since it's the first time I broke 90. My goal this year was to break 90 at least once and consistently score in the 90's. I might have to readjust those a bit. Thanks to the RXT's I shot an 83 on a par 73 (so +10) yesterday. It was 101 degrees outside when I was playing so I was literally and figuratively on fire yesterday. I think it actually helped considering it kept my mind off the score.
Right now my weakness is putting, as my playing partners yesterday can attest to. They said that if I can get my putting woes to bed I'd be scoring in the 70's easily. I just don't want to get too ahead of myself though as I know this is a long journey. I'm just glad I took the next steps yesterday.
