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

[crosse91]

93 @ a local muni, first round in a LONG time.

Driver: switched back to my old Spalding alliance and every drive was 250, in the fairway. My 540xd is being repaired and i hit that like 275+ in the trees.....

Long and short irons were horrible, I had maybe 1 or 2 GIR's, gotta work on that....

Last thursday had the privledge of embarrassing myself by playing at Reflection Bay in Vegas...

...Easily best and nicest course I have ever ever played, the range balls were way better than the ones I planned on losing throughout the cours...and lose I did 21 of them to be exact....

...I hit 1 good straight drive the entire time and could find no consistency

I ended up shooting a generous 131 from the blues, making me feel like quitting...the one hope I had was I played with a good friend of mine from out there shot a [censored] 76 and made me want to aspire to ever be that good

99.99 % of the time I do, it just made it easier based on the 4some I was with....
...and with the way I was hitting them it wouldnt matter

Great golf course in the Portland area, Quail Valley. It's actually outside of Portland a ways, which is nice, because despite being the second-best value/public course in the area, it is NEVER crowded. Played nine holes, shooting a 41 with a TRIPLE on nine. Nine is a really tough hole, and I tried to tin cup it across the water when I probably still could have parred by playing it safe. Second time in a row I have scored poorly on the ninth and it has pushed me above 40.

Preemptive TL;DR....

Mark it on your calendars, September 12 2007, I beat my friend Scott for the first time ever.

Scott was #1 golfer at a D3 school(2 years ago), and he normally gives me a shot a hole, but he has been revamping my swing for the past 3 months. He unleashed a monster.

Woke up at 9am today to play a crappy Seattle city par 3 course(Interbay), I was none too enthused as I usually go to bed around 3 and wake up at noon.

I'm still sleeping as we tee off, I bogey the first, and double the second, but then something clicks and I ring off 6 straight pars. Scott hits every single green, but misses 5 putts <10 feet, and going into the 135yd 9th we are tied at +3. I tee off first and hit a pretty good wedge, leaving myself about 20 feet, but Scott steps up and sticks his 9iron to 7 feet.

But I have ice water in my veins and drain my birdie, no doubt about it, from there I knew it was over, Scott pulls it left, the crowd goes wild [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

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.
