Lost In Xanadu Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) 4-man scramble on Thurs. This is the 6th year, and me and another guy have been 2 of the 4 every year. The one guy that was with us every year couldn't make it, and the guy replacing him blew out his ACL a couple weeks ago. He's going to give it a run with a knee brace, but I'm guessing we're not going to match last year's 65. 64 was our best, 69 was our worst. Winning team is usually 59 or so. Most importantly, I have my Playlist set. It's a fun outing,so I crank the tunes. This year is 80s movies songs... first dozen:1. Holiday Road (travelling to the tee, seeing a shotgun start)2. I'm Alright, naturally3. Back in Time4. Winner Takes it All5. Everybody Wants to Rule the World6. Soul Man7. Ghostbusters 8. Danger Zone9. Don't You Forget About Me10. In Your Eyes11. St. Elmo's Fire12. Twist and Shout Edited August 2, 2016 by Lost In Xanadu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Almost aced a 170-yard par 3 today. Big pond guarding the front right part of the green, big tree on the left side of the fairway. That was the best 4-iron tee shot I've ever hit. Nice and high, right at the stick. It felt GREAT when I hit it. http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab88/unclemonteee/Walsh%208_zpsktm8l433.jpg Left a nice crater, didn't it? :laughing guy: Of course, my birdie putt went wide right...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 So...played 18 with the Men's Club today and had a pretty good round.

Hole 1 (Par 5): Good drive; Seven-iron long and through the dogleg into water; drop; solid six-iron to a back pin; one-putt for parHole 2 (Par 4): Seven-iron tee shot pulled left; Choke down nine-iron just short of the green; chip to 4'6"; putt slides by the right edge; bogey (+1)Hole 3 (Par 4): Six-iron right into water; drop; seven iron short into more water; drop; wedge to green; two-putt for a triple bogey (+4)Hole 4 (Par 3): Pitching wedge to the green; three-putt for bogey (+5)Hole 5 (Par 5): Monster drive down left side to 145yds out; wedge to eight feet; one-putt for eagle (+3)Hole 6 (Par 4): Wicked good hybrid to 145yds; nine-iron to pin-high left, just off the green; chip it tight; tap-in for par (+3)Hole 7 (Par 3): Eight iron to two-tiered green - wrong tier; putt to twelve feet; hole out for par (+3)Hole 8 (Par 4): Solid drive to thirty yards out; nine-iron bump an run to two feet; birdie (+2)Hole 9 (Par 4): Good drive; pitch and two putts for par and a 38 on the front! :dweez: Shot more consistent on the back for a 40 to card a 78 for the round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 This summer I've been very busy with a new business I started. I played with some clients on July 1, again the second weekend in August with my kids, and last week with 3 college buddies, two of whom I probably haven't seen in 2 years. The best moment of the three rounds? Outdriving my son by about 5 yards on one hole. He is going to be so much better than I am soon. Second best moment? Watching my daughter slam her driver down in disgust when she topped a shot. It was like watching a little me with long hair. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I got the play nine holes a couple of days ago. First hacking session of the year. Hit more good shots than bad shots, and I putted like crap, but it was good to shake the cobwebs off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I've got to admit I'm not very good at golf. I'm just not very coordinated with a golf club in my hands. Normally I'm fine, like with tennis, badminton etc but just not golf! In fact I'm downright dangerous with a club, even down at the driving range! I did score a hole in one at crazy golf tournament once but that just pure luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Played my first round in six months yesterday with the local men's club. Inconsistent, of course, but managed quite a few pars along with a couple of 7's and an 8. Ended up shooting an even 90. Good fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithrandir Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Three weeks into my league. I only golfed two of the weeks. Shot a pair of 42's. That's right around my handicap for the course which is a 5 for 9 holes. My bane is the 3-5 foot putt. Miss way too many of those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I have been out 5 times. So far I have to say I think I am playing a little bit better version of my usual crap, this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I have to say I think I am playing a little bit better version of my usual crap, this year.Played my second round today, with the Men's Club. I shot 42 on the front, with a birdie and three pars. A couple of bad holes that were caused by bad decision-making. The back nine I started with a birdie, but struggled after that. The group in front of us was 2 1/2 holes behind, playing very slow. It was a 5 1/2 hour round, and the sun was strong...the wind came. I ended up shooting 48 on the back. Another 90. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shot another 42 on Friday as i was golfing out with my opponent as we both couldn't make it on League night this past week. I missed a 2 foot putt and lipped out 3 more that were in the 8-12 foot range. I have played three rounds and shot 42 in each one. Pretty consistent!

I nutted a driver to reach the green on the fly, and nearly holed the eagle putt. Easy bird. Incidentally, that hole is where I made my my only career ace. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hit some balls this morning and figured out a swing move that I'd forgotten. I focused on tucking my left shoulder under my chin, and the swing totally fell together. Turns out I had been using all arms and hands, and no big muscles. So I took that swing thought to the course this evening and walked five holes. I managed four pars and a birdie. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 "Left shoulder under your chin..." Kept that as my swing thought while walking the front nine this afternoon. Like yesterday, it was fruitful. First three holes were par, bogie, par. Holes 4, 5 & 6 are a par 3, 5 and 4. I went birdie, eagle, birdie. Finished with three pars for a gross 33 and a net 28! Best nine I've ever shot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithrandir Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Keeps raining on League night!! Played a course I never played before over the weekend. Pretty nice setting out in the country at what was once a farm. Very hilly. Greens were pretty tough as there wasn't a flat putt to be found! Wasn't a real serious round as I golfed with an old friend who I had not golfed with a quite a few years. More catching up and BS than worrying about a score. I had 7-8 birdie putts ranging from 8-40 feet but made none. Probably shot around an 85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
