Well my personal goal for the summer was to break 100. Shot a 96 yesterday and a 94 this afternoon. Have been using the 13 degree Callaway Diablo Draw driver and the Diablo edge irons, 4,5,6 Diablo Edge hybrids, 5,7 Diablo Fairway woods, PING putter, Top Flight Distance XL balls. The great equipment compared to what I was using 25 years ago has made a huge difference. Also playing without qualms of conscience, from the Gold Tees ( age 62.8). Actually am liking the game this go around. Appreciating the advice and tips gained from the forum too. Thanks.

Yesterday I was able to set a new personal best! I played Dairy Creek(69.9/124) in San Luis Obispo, CA. My previous best round at this course was a 91 and my best round overall on any course was an 88. I started out strong on the front and shot a 41 and the back was a roller coaster of a 45, my new best is an 86! The front was a par fest with no birdies, the back was funny because I birdied two holes but had 5 doubles! To cap it off I missed a short (3 foot) par put on 18! It's good to know that there is definite room for improvement and strokes to get back. I must say, the new equipment is making my life easier. My driver was consistent up the middle and between 250-280 (with one downhill bomb of 295) and the approach shots into the green were pretty solid. My course management is being completely reworked as the drives set me up for different shots than I'm used to. All in all, life is good!
Happy 4th of July to everyone.
One of my senior friends who is a 6 handicapper, challenged me to a quarter a hole bet for nine more holes after we all finished 18 today. Did he beat me? Yep. Did he give me any strokes? Nope. Am I going to whup his arse tomorrow? Yep :thumb: He won four skins which is a buck but I am going to go after him like a flea hugging a dog tomorrow :deadhorse:. I am going to get my dollar back :golf2:
Shot a 79!!! First time in the 70's all year! Birdied 18 for it! 7/14 fairways, 10/18 GIR, 32 putts. Feels great!
Update after the round today: I played decent golf and was proud for not getting blown out of the water. This guy I am playing today was one stroke off the course record a few years back when he shot a 62. Now he is a 6 handicapper and and still gets the ball around pretty darn good! My first nine was a 42 which is ok for my handicap and my last nine was a 38 which gave me a 80 for the round. My friend shot 39 + 37 for a 77. As we stood on the 18th tee I was down 4 skins which (4 x .25) was only a dollar. We play dots for holes, greenies and birdies. He ask me if I wanted to press to see if I could wash the bet or he would end up with two bucks. I said sure what heck as I can always get a loan from KellyBo for the other dollar . We both hit really good drives on the par five 18th. I pulled my 2nd shot to the left of the green. He hit his second shot on the green. I chip on and two putt for par and he two putts for birdie.
It was a fun round and with him being a six capper and myself being a 13 I was not too embarrassed until...
..SpoilerWe played nine more holes and he had four birdies and one bogey for a 33 and I had a 44
Did I learn my lesson? No. Am I goiing to play him again tomorrow? Yes. Am I going to play him straight up? NO -- I getting my fricking strokes tomorrow
