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

[Troll_Inc]

My home course, last round shot a 90. With my 17.6 hcp, that's a handicap diff of 20.

I'm focusing on getting down to 31-32 putts a round. Had 36 putts with three 1 putts and three 3 putts, both of which are unusual. I guess getting rid of 3 putts will be like getting rid of double bogeys.

I also counted the times that I was less than 10 yds off the green. This happened 11 times and my three 1 putts were from this situation, so I was 3/11 for getting up and down.

4/14 fairways hit.

5/18 girs.

Par 3's. Hit 2/4 greens. Total 16 strokes.

I picked up a membership at the local golf course yesterday (Kiskiack /Traditional Clubs in Williamsburg, VA) and signed up for some lessons. I've played a round once in my life back in high school and have been to the driving range a few times but other than that have no golf experience.

Today I had my first lesson with the Head Golf guy and I enjoyed it / felt I learned a bit. Man there are a ton of little things to keep straight when trying to learn the swing. We're doing weekly lessons for the next five weeks.

Afterwards a friend of mine met me up there and we played 9 holes. I started off pretty poorly but felt like I got into a rhythm a few holes into it and managed to par a par 4 on my way to shooting a 65.

I had a great time though and now that I've got this membership hopefully I'll be able to get up there quite a bit and work on my game.

A par on your second round ever is pretty impressive IMO.

Some course in St. Louis. 56-48-104. Better than last round's 122, but much shorter course. Back at it tomorrow, hoping for better things.

Different, but similar course, also short. Both courses 6,000 yards. Slightly berret front nine. 42-48-90. Obviously pretty happy with that result.

48-42. Missed a 5 footer on 18 to break 90 for the first time in forever. Putted badly all day.

Same course, shot a 84 for my second best score ever and had only 31 putts. Par on 10 holes, including 2 hardest hcp-wise.

7 One putts
2 Three putts
Got up and down 6 out of 9 times when less than 10 yds off the green.

4/14 Fairways hit.
3/18 gir

The low fir/gir and high up and downs and 1 putts are somewhat misleading. The course was hard and dry. I hit a lot of greens that rolled off the back that under normal conditions would have held my shot.

But who cares, really. I'll keep working on my putting (I had 3 putts that were under 6 inch tapins) and try to get more consistent off the tee, which I feel is as much mental as anything.

i hit my 3 iron exceptionally well today - 8 of 12 fairways at 210 yards consistently.

and then i took seven thousand shots to get on the green and 3 putted probably four times.

very nice!
