Played my first round of golf today

Don't be ashamed to play the forward tees. You will enjoy yourself more, and keep up the pace just fine. And pick up your ball after you are 2 or 3 shots over par for the hole.

i stopped using the blue tees a long time ago.
our rule has been when you hit double par, pick it up and move on.

I use net double bogie as my stroke limit, since that is the most we are supposed to record for handicap purposes anyway.

So I should pick up my ball in the middle of the fairway. Got it.

If you can't get on the green with 4 strokes on a par 3 hole, you need more range practice.

I have been so freakin busy, I have not played once this year… but I did order more balls, since I lose 3 sleeves a round…

that's 9 balls per round.
that's one every other hole

i played 9 today. shot 47. not great, but not horrible.
my driver continues to work pretty well.
my 3 wood and 3 hybrid are giving me some issues. i keep pushing them left. not sure why.
the course played very differently today. we've had a couple days of rain, but the last 3 weeks or so, it's been pretty dry so the course, and particularly the greens, were much slower. it caused me issues chipping up onto the green. i wasn't getting any roll out, so everything was kinda short of the hole.

oh, yea.....and i didn't loose a ball.

I lose a lot of balls when I play Riverwalk in Mission Valley, so I play with Noodle golf balls, since they are the cheapest new balls out there

Just finished 9 holes of scramble where I was the most experienced golfer in our group.

That’s not good.
I am capable of good days of golf. Today was not one of them.

We had fun though and the weather was great.

I still hurt from this round.

One swing, I hit the ground about a foot behind the ball.

I can’t even figure out how that’s possible.
Even lie. Level with my feet.

It’s my left knee that hurts the most, but both knees are pretty stiff.

To be fair, I did walk around CosmoFest the day before, and do a 3-day conference after the round, but I wasn’t hurting until after golf.

Here’s a cool feeling: I was helping to look for our playing partner’s ball on 14, and I found my ball - from yesterday’s round.

 

[mongooz]

i've got an 11;00 tomorow and a 10:50 on tuesday.
with all this rain....we'll see how those greens are.

 

[mongooz]

well.....played horribly. first drive was good, almost everything else was pushed left, which is NOT my normal push.
too many irons off the toe, so pushed right.
3 and 4 putts.
50

tomorrow needs to be better !!

 

[tiger roach]

*This* close to an ace.

 

[mongooz]

didn't play today. called and cancelled the tee time.
just didn't feel into it today. i don't usually like playing back to back days.
gonna try to play a different course sat/sun.
