What'd You Shoot Today? (Golf BBV Thread)

[jupiterpig]

Yea I played with Ghostface today and can confirm the goon in front of us...in fact i said "Im writing that one down...we cant disapoint 2+2 golfers." Anyway I shot a 98 with a 48 and a 50...1 birdie tho. It was the first time in a long time that I have counted EVERY stroke so i suppose it is a good starting place for the summer. Hopefully ill be down to a 90 by later this summer.

BTW if yall want to see the course that we played here is the link... Eagle Ridge Golf Club...enjoy

Wow, that is the most horribly Firefox-unfriendly website in...ever.

Also, the site itself doesn't do the course justice. One picture? Looks like a really nice course. Also, whoever wrote the hole-by-hole should have included each hole's yardage by tee under the picture.

All in all, looks like a good track though. I thought it would be the one in Galena, Wisconsin of the same name that is also very nice.

Crap design, great condition. So many stupid holes.

81 - best so far this year. (6300 y, par 71)

I've been working big time on my short game in order to get back to a scoring mentality. I had 27 putts today, and 16 chips (shots around the green.)

I'm hitting the ball well, but only hit five fairways and four greens. My short game seems to be coming around as I got up and down 5 times on the back nine.

If it weren't for two 7's, one because of a pulled ball out of bounds, and one for shoddy short game work, I would have had a decent round.

Back to the putting green tomorrow, and I'll be playing again on Saturday!

Golf forum, awesome.

Today I played at Buena Golf (that may not be its name, I don't know) in Ventura California. It's a par 70 course. I shot 100, with a par on a the 2 handicap hole, 398 yards.

My driver today was insane. I usually use a 3 wood to drive, cause I can keep it straight on track, and still about 200 yards. Well, I was consistenly hitting 220 with it today, so on the final 5 holes I used the 1 when appropriate. Wow! Instead of huge pop fly shots, I was hitting line drive shots that were absolutely straight. And I was going about 250 yards I would guess.

Of course, my low irons are pretty horrible, I avoid 3 and 4-6 are unreliable for me. That is the next part of my game I really need to work on. Putt decent.

Front 9 - all bogeys or double bogeys along with an 8 on a par 4. I think some iron shots that went ~20 yards screwed that one up.

Back 9 - Single and double bogey;s along with a par and triple. My par hole had a chance for birdie, but I missed a 7 foot putt.

Golf is awesome! 25 bucks for 5 hours of entertainment.

PATs are a jokish setup. The PGA basically sets it up at a minimal yardage and the pins are usually about center-center.

I went out and played the course once before my PAT, found which holes I needed to be slightly more aggressive on and which holes I need to scrape up a par on, then went out two days later and played that same gameplan.

I'm surprised at the number of good players who don't play well in these things... and at the number of people who simply enter the PAT just to play the golf course. (It sounds ridiculous, but I've heard a bunch of people say how their playing partner openly admitted to having no shot of passing, rather they would just pay the entry fee and play a decent course.)

Fugly 89 today. Didn't make a par until #9 and was lucky it wasn't worse - had quite a few one putt bogeys.

It really doesn't suit my game when the course is set up long like it was this time - too many holes where I have almost no chance at getting the ball in the fairway off the tee. Hard choice between praying to not hook the driver too much or being unable to reach the green after hitting an iron.

Oh well, tomorrow is another day!

9 holes after work in 45 minutes. 2 over. I feel so terrible at golf.
