That's weird, I just popped in to check out this thread. I've already broken 90 multiple times, but I'm located just east of St. Louis on the IL side.
Same here; I'm in Edwardsville.

Might have to tee it up with you guys one day. Graduated from SIU Carbondale two years ago and I pop out there from time to time. Nice courses between Cdale and Murphysboro also

If there isn't one out there already, you guys should start a local thread. Great way to organize outings, talk courses and scores with other THPers in your area.I live right in the middle of those two courses, but consider Hickory more my home course. Hit me up when you come to town and maybe we can get in a round.
I'll start a new thread in the events forum and post a link in here sometime today. Maybe some more THP'ers from the area will jump in and we can get a little unofficial event going.

We'll revive it
47/50-97 yesterday. Paired up with a group of retired guys who like to take 3 or 4 shots and only write down 1. Driver was working great but irons were thin all day.
One of the seniors lost his temper on 11 when he pulled his drive OB, turned and threw his driver as hard as he could - right at my bag, which was on a pull cart. Thankfully the pull cart handle snapped his driver in half before it hit my clubs. He apologized and I let it go. Made for a less-than-fun back 9 as he played poorly and continued to be angry about it.
46/48 for a 94. Winter golf is firmly here in Thailand 17*C when we tee'd off. I've never played here in anything other than shorts and polo shirt, this morning was long pants and 1/4 zip fleece. The wind was brutal.
I put shorts on at 14*c, so give me that 17*c any day.
So, my round Sunday morning was a complete disaster blow up round. I started out strong and was like 3 or 4 over through 7. Then the wheels flew off and started the double and triple train. Ended up shooting a 103 and played like an absolute head case. 1 bad shot turned into a long line of them. I HAVE TO GET BETTER ABOUT THIS!
I couldn't end my day that way so I went to another course, which is a tougher course, and somewhat got myself straightened out. I started to get off the tee better and short game came back. I still hit my irons fat, but they're new and I just need a little range time to adjust to them. I ended up shooting a 93 and felt a little better about not be able to play for a little while.
Nice rebound in round 2. What was your main miss(es) in round 1.

Well that's a nice comeback. Yup, those bad strokes are hard to get out of the head
I had a similar issue the last time out. Got the snap hooks off the tee about halfway through my round and noticed I was not getting my weight to the front foot. Felt like I was hanging back on the rear leg, almost like a baseball swing. I always need to focus on tempo now transition too...Ugh!I think my brain was missing for most of it! Really though, I was just hitting everything fat, fat, fat! I hate hitting fat shots and it just started to snowball. I think I just wasn't getting posted up on my lead leg and collapsing on my back side. I wasn't bad off the tee for most of the round until frustration took over and then I got a case of the snap hooks, which is completely backwards for me so I'll take that with a grain of salt and trust it won't be something that becomes the norm. I actually got excited when I caught one a little thin it was so bad.

Played 89 today including 5 penalties and 33 putts.
TGC scores don't count, kidding, nice round with the 5 penalties.
