What'd You Shoot Today? (Golf BBV Thread)
I think this forum could use a BBV thread, so here it is.
Brag: Shot 80 today on my home course (par 72) - I'm a 12 handicap so this is a very good number for me.
Beat: Had a [censored] quadruple bogey on the easiest hole on the course. Stupid sand features.
Variance: Lost $3 thanks to the team game.
Thanks! Totally hooked. Ducking out of work early tomorrow to try to get 18 in as we're going to have record high temps.
Only got 16 holes in. The last 2 were gonna be really slow and I had to get home to make dinner for my wife. (And I had just made 3 triples in a row.)
+23(+11/+12) thru 16 with 37 putts. 3 pars. 9 bogeys. 3 triples and a quintuple. Hit it as good as I have all year. Threw a dart on 1 within 7 feet and of course missed it. +2 thru 4 (with 2 3-putt bogeys in there) but then made a glorious 9 (+5) on #5 to put me in my place. Later on an uphill par 3 I hit a gorgeous 6-iron 186 yards onto the back of the green and made 6. Hit 7/16 greens. Hit 8/12 fairways. Last hole of the night I was 5 yards in front of the green in the fairway in 2 on a 505yd par 5 after a gorgeous drive and a nice 3-wood. Shanked it into the bunker and made 8. Playing again with a friend and his son at the same place on Saturday. Sunday they shut down for the year. Broke 100 several times and evern broke 90. Being a 15 or so handicap by the end of next year seems well within reach assuming I am alive and healthy. Can't wait.

95(46/49)(+23/+11/+12) with 35 putts. 3/14 fairways, 5/18 greens. Too many big numbers. 6 pars, 4 bogeys, 5 doubles and 3 triples. Didn't hit it very good. Putted decently. Wasted a few chips. Weather looks good next weekend so I'll be out there again, but at a different course as this one shuts down for the season after tomorrow.
40-42-82. 1 birdie, 2 double bogeys. 70.3/133/6100.
Gave away too many shots with the wedges, but otherwise a pretty decent day.
today i make my annual empty promise to workout and practice all winter long and take the world by storm next season
an endeavor of such magnitude needs a sunday full of junk food and golf movies to get started properly. probably Tin Cup, The Legend of Bagger Vance, and The Greatest Game Ever Played, if i had my choice. If you like throwbacks, add Follow the Sun and maybe some old school Shells Wonderful World of Golf.
next stop, us open.
suspicious lack of caddyshack
my apologies.
i only have 9 holes played in a long time. dont know yardage well for that course yet. 1st hole par 4 (4th shot) "id have to crush a 7 iron..." just before i pure hit a 6i over the green. 2nd hole par 5(3rd shot) "i cant hit 3i that far..." just before 5w went down the hill behind the green. 2 holes later, 1st shot par 3 to back left pin behind front left tree. 7i draw lands next to the pin and misses long, but not as severely as the other 2.
no birdies, 1 par, 1 bogey, 7 disasters.
42 (par 36). No birdies, 1 double bogey. Same course as yesterday.
Just played nine, timed it out perfectly, it started raining as I drove home.
congrats on the fall golf rounds for those enjoying them
any plans for game improvement over the offseason or just forget and dust off the clubs next spring to discover what carried over?
im on a fairly consistent regimen of exercise, PEDs(physically enhancing dishes), and laziness.

I've never managed to do any work on my game in the offseason, though now that sims are becoming pretty common I might actually swing a club now and then. Mostly need to make some physical changes but we'll see if I can drag my lazy ass to the gym on a consistent basis.

I only picked up the clubs 3 months ago for the first time in 12 years. As such, I obviously never had a “winter regimen” but I’m likely going to do something now. I may join a simulator league. We’ll see. Have tee times Friday and Saturday, so no need for a simulator yet!
Last week of Mens club here. Played ok, and won my match, but it was not enough and we ended up losing 5-7. We teed off at noon, and finished with just a few rays of light left.

Going to take some lessons in the offseason. Still warm enough here to play, but without the Tuesday night commitment, I can't say I'll be out there every week. Def going to work out, practice putting indoors, etc.
stunning photograph
when i play it's most often in the morning, and i often forget how beautiful sunset golf can be.
good luck on your winter adventures jef

Best score of the year. Haven't played this course since at least 2012. 87(44/43) on a 71(35/36) that is 6350. Not sure the slope rating, but it's definitely easier than the course I've played the majority of my rounds on. My guess is 122 or so.
2 birdies, 5 pars, 5 bogeys, 5 doubles and a triple. Played the 4 par 3s -1 and rimmed out a 3rd birdie on another par 3. 37 putts. 5 3-putts, 4 1-putts. Was throwing darts with my 9 iron. The 2 birdies I made were both within 5 feet. Greens were really hairy and slow and bumpy. Total contrast from the course I typically play. 4/14 fairways. 8/18 greens. Hit my irons very well. Finally slowing down and finding a nice tempo. Terrible with the rattling driver. 2 of the 4 fairways I hit were with 3-wood off the tee on shorter holes. Cancelled the tee time for tomorrow as it's gonna be too cold, but it looks good Friday. I have already taken off work for my anniversary, but my wife loves working in the yard so here's to hoping she tells me to get lost for 4 hours while she putzes around in the unseasonably warm weather.
42-41-83. No birdies, 2 double bogeys. 70.3/133/6100
Weird ballstriking day. Hit it inconsistently on the front, on the back I found something with the woods and hybrids but I could not hit an iron to save my life.

Possibly my worst scoring round of the year. Never played this course before. Was in much better shape than the place I was +16 2 days ago. 6,200 yards par 72 (70.3/129). +27 (99=51/48). Played 12 holes +7, the other 6 +20. 5/12 fairways. 8/18 greens. 41 putts. Short game was terrible. 5 3-puts, 0 1-putts. Swing is getting more consistent. Have played 18-20 rounds since I dusted off the clubs 3 months ago. Friday looks good for 1 more round. After that it's going to be tough to keep OldManWinter at bay. Can't wait for next summer so I can play Every. Single. Day.
concerted effort to get beter is likely all it will take bigez
just gotta be intentional about how you spend the time
Playing a stroke play tourney today and was off to a very annoying start through 6 holes. One great way to address that is to ace the 7th! First lifetime ace.
Sadly didn’t see it go in; elevated green and lip of the short right bunker blocks the view of the green where the flag was.
cheers mate! that's fantastic
nice ace! congrats. high 5.
Bastard!
Er, I mean, congratulations! That's fantastic.

Awful today. Only hit it worse maybe once in my 20 rounds. Shot 97 at this par 71 2 months ago for my first sub-100 round. 104 (+33) today. 52/52. 6300 yards. 36 putts. Ended par, par or it would have been worse. Totally disgusted. Hit maybe 4-5 good shots all day. Gonna play Sunday for the last time this season at the same place. Cannot end like this. So bad.

friendly reminder golf is not your occupation it's a hobby
the only pressure to succeed is applied by you
adjust it as you deem appropriate but recognize a valid option is always to turn it off and just have fun slapping a ball around
remembering the good shots
