What did you shoot today?

Got out on the par-three course for a final round today — 55° and sunny here in Western Mass — and honestly, it was an absolutely fabulous way to close out the season if this does end up being the last round of the year.

I usually try to play the 9-hole par-three course at bogey golf (36), and I managed to finish one stroke better at 35. One bad hole (a triple), but I did snag a beautiful birdie, hit two greens in regulation, had three more just on the fringe, and bogeyed the rest.

This was all without my real putter — I used my 1962 10-iron blade putter that I normally treat as a Texas wedge, since my main bag was set up for indoor golf (had extra woods instead of putter). Still managed two putts on every hole except the birdie, which was a one-putt.

My approach game was on fire — the new CBZ 54° was an absolute workhorse.

Best part of all? No balls lost to the woods or the leaves — the ever-elusive one-ball round.

All in all, a great day and a perfect season finale.
 
Scramble with @hackitup and 2 friends. Bogey-less 66 for the squad and had a great time

Not bad for a bunch of hacks on tough greens. Hearing the greenskeeper likes to put the pins in the hardest positions made me feel better about leaving some strokes out there. Greens were tough.
 
I stopped counting after hole 15 at Kinderlou. Swing stayed in Ohio as far as I know because I can't hit the ball at all.
 
Solid 79. Punched greens, so plinko on the greens. Made zero putts, so it was a good ball striking day.
 
Played the second day of my club championship. Shot a 39-48-87. I was even until I got to hole 9 and then proceeded to crap the bed for 3 holes where I went +3, +5, and +2. I did the exact same thing yesterday on the same holes. I really need to figure out how to not let a bad hole carry over and cascade into a disaster.

Today I played a twilight round and almost shot a career low. It was at Greentee Langley 72.2/0.991 (formerly Pagoda Ridge)The putter was hot and the GIRs were flowing. Sadly lost daylight and only fit in 15 holes and don’t know what I wouldve shot but it was trending to be a career best… safe to say I’m extremely excited to golf again as soon as possible. Played today using Bridgestone Tour XS so hopefully I’m still hot when I get the Prototype VS Blue in my hands.

On another note Ive now cracked the single digits! 9.9 hcp 🤓

Started on 10th. 3 holes closed for refurb.
This is known as the hardest course in England when playing off the back tee’s. We played off yellows which are longer than my home course whites!
Par on Stableford points, +1 net.
Very happy with that result. Took too long to settle on the green speed.
But overall happy to have that under my belt albeit just 15 holes. £35 instead of the usual £140 summer green fee. Not bad at all!!

Played self made combo tees (9 white, 9 blue) approx 6300 yds at a pretty simple little course; shot a mundane 84 with 34 putts, 10 FIR, 6 GIR.
 
Last postable round of the year for me

You're always posting amazing scores with amazing stats, just curious what length course you're playing?

Today was 6,200 yards. That is pretty typical. +/- 200 yards.
 
22 on 5 holes. The sun sets so early and this is all I could finish by the time I got to the course at 3:30. Comes out to +1. 4 pars and a bogey.
 
What a day. Played Venetian Bay for something different and finally put a great round together. 38/36 for a 74! It was a lot of excellent putting including a 30 yard chip in and some great iron play today. Would say overall my driver was horrible as was having a hard time finding the fairway today. But the recoveries were spot on. Temps were in low 70s and no crowd today. Course was in good shape and greens very fast. So stoked to finally put it all together at least once this year.

Played another round today at another course and under pretty extreme conditions. The big one was really windy conditions. I'm talking gusts that blew the ball 50 yards offline, blow you off the ball during your swing, deflect the ball 4-5 feet offline on a 15-foot putt type of day.

My basic round stats were:
Score 75 (35/33)
FIR 77% (10/13)
GIR 61% (11/18)
Scrambling 17% (1/6)
2 Birdies / 11 Pars / 4 Bogies / 1 Double Bogie
Putts 33
 
41/41/29. Nice easy round in 80*f clear weather.

I was hitting the ball pretty well today. Hit 13 fairways, with the 5 misses not that bad. All pars, and bogey 1s.


I played with some snowbirds from Montana. They are on their way farther south. Quartzite AZ I think.

Our weather is supposed to go sour starting tomorrow, with cooler temps, and rain in the forecast.
 
One of my better stretches of golf when I went -2 the last 6 holes yesterday! Was fun and allowed me to take $15 from Casey on our usual front, back and total bet

I played yesterday on a nice sunny 50 degree Wisconsin day. Shot 41/46. I hit 4 bad shots on the back 9 that led to 8 extra strokes. 4 doubles. It was maddening. Plus the plugged greens didn't help. Walter Hagen was right when he said you will 7 bad shots in a round. Still doesn't make me feel any better! But it was a day of golf in November! So I have that going for me......
 
A nice change from yesterday’s 87. 39/39/78 Kensington GC. The greens were slow and bumpy from small tine aeration. A bit better putting and this could have been a great day.

Perhaps this was the last really nice day until April. 60 degrees, little wind and mostly sunny.
 
Daughter and grandsons in town for the weekend. She is just getting back into playing golf after about 15 years. Taking lessons at the PGA center in Frisco.

She wanted to go out for 9 holes. I decided to jump up to the front tees for a nice enjoyable 9 holes. They say move up and learn to score. Never done this before so why not. Other than one failed pass with an 8 iron on a par 3 it went rather well. 3 birdies one bogie only 2 missed greens both of which were par 3s. Up and down for par on one of them. Putting which I’m working on was better with new setup and mechanics. All in all a solid 9 hole outing. Nine would come in a a -2 for handicap if the nine stood on its own.
 
We played the white tees on our shorter course today (~5000 yds). Shot a 38/40 = 78, with 9/14 FW, 6/18 GIR, 29 putts. Had 6 up & downs with the new CBZ wedges, I'm really liking them.

Bogeyed #1, then 8 straight pars on the front. It was my first round walking a full 18 this season, I started getting fatigued on the back 9 and it showed - a birdie, 3 pars, 3 bogeys and 2 doubles.
 
A thoughtless 82
It was a "no concentration available to day"
But, it was sunny, warm but not hot, had good company and made a birdie.
