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

I really like T-D too. Brag: 1980 I watched Watson, Nicklaus, and Stadler play an exhibition there. Just those three and a maybe a couple thousand(?) spectatin. (Stads chili dipped wedge on 18 in a bunker and then buried the club head with a hearty "FRuck!" Classic exhibition fare, prolly cost him lunch.)

shot 88 at Hiddenbrooke in Vallejo , CA on Friday. Blue tees and it was my first time on that course. I was 12 over par on par3's and had 3 three putts.

I meant considering the price. $200+ for that course seemed way too pricey. Tahoe-Donner is just as good, if not better, and was less than half the price.

The best deal in the area is Apple Mountain, a mountain course near Placerville (about an hour from South Lake), that is absolutely beautiful and costs only $45. Its a course you either love or hate due to tons of side, up, and down hill lies

45 for nine holes. Wasted four shots punching out of the trees on two holes, one stupid three putt. Otherwise was pretty happy with how I played. It's coming.

Shot +3 on a par 71 6400yrds...wasn't very happy with my round though. Had to spot my dad 18 strokes and was 3 down through 6, but was ahead and dormi after 16, and won on 18...drinks on him :P

Brag: I was trading him a round at a really expensive course (130/round) for 2 rounds at other courses (around 60 each) so he went in to pay for our rounds (our 3rd had already paid), he goes in and they ask if he's paying for one...he says 'no, for 2' and they said one had already checked in (of the 3)...but they only chraged him for the one round...nice!

Maybe my 3rd round this year. Shot 87 on a ~121 slope. Gave away a ton shots on mental errors, short sided my self on easily 1/3 of the holes. Very tired I forgot how tiring walking 18 carrying your bag was

Remarkably, for all the desert golf I've played and all the desert floors I've stomped around on, I've only ever seen one rattlesnake, and that one was actually on a teebox. I think I've just been really lucky.

I have played one round of desert golf in my life and I ran into a rattlesnake (i.e., I walked to < 4 feet away from it while looking for my ball in the scrub). Luckily I had my lob wedge in hand and I waved it furiously in its direction while I high stepped out of the hazard like Deion Sanders in high heels.

BREAKTHROUGH!

First time I have ever broken par for 18 holes.

Two under par 70 today, blue tees.
14 GIR, 29 putts.

I got a couple good breaks coming within six inches of the heather on one hole. And having my ball stop on a bank that sloped down into the water on another a la Freddie Couples. I also executed some excellent shots. I drilled home a 15-footer for par on the 8th hole. Birdied 9 to make the turn at -2. Then played a sand bunker shot to 16 inches to save par on number 10. I was rolling the ball great with the putter today, though I missed a couple chances for birdie down the stretch from around 20 feet.
