Great pic Bulls. Isn't funny how great our kids swings look. My 13 year old has a wicked swing, and as long as I don't try and give him any instruction, it should stay that way.

Dead even par for handicap on Sunday. My whole game was just off the boil - never quite there in the execution. Sweet birdie on the 3rd though, drained the putt from 35 feet.

i got a 59 today

what mini golf course did you play?

Exec course - bunch of 80-130 yard par 3's with a couple of Par 4's.

Hole 1 - green, 3 putt. bogey
2 - topped and rolled 134 yds short of green. bogey
3 - topped and rolled 5 ft. bogey
Par 4 4th - clean hit with a 4 iron finally. Straight off the course. Bogey.
5 - Skulled shot 100 yds over green. Bogey
6 - Whiffed ball 50 yds. (but nice height). Bogey
7 - ball fell off tee addressing ball. Bogey.
8 - hit the green. Unfortunately a "putt putt" green. 3 putt. Bogey
9 - flared one right, but tree assisted it back to the green. 2 putt, Par.

My group "quit" on me because up till then, they had been "pushing" the skins up until the 9th!! Guess who was the only one to par the 9th? yippee!!!!

I played on a "real" course today for the first time in two years. I was unable to play last year and a beginner before that. I've been practicing a lot to try and regain the few skills I had acquired (and lost). I've played the local Par 3 course a few times lately to break the monotony of practice. So today was a treat for me being back out on a real course.

I won't embarrass myself (or Forged) by posting my score, but I was pleased with many of my shots. I was even able to make par on one hole! I feel like I hit my driver and woods relatively well. My irons need a LOT of work. I chipped pretty well, but my putting is definitely in need of practice. I lost a lot of balls today in the water and was one reason my score was so high. (It was a good thing that Forged pulled a lot of balls out of one pond while we were waiting for a group to play, I needed them. )

Hopefully by the end of the summer, I will have some scores I won't be ashamed of posting. But right now, I guess I'm not as concerned with my score as I am with the ball striking.

One under tonight. Was hitting everything great and was going right at the pins. Could have shot lower if I wouldn't have been in a rush on the past few holes

Good job Pings. So long as you're pleased, no one else has the right to be displeased. Keep us updated on your progress.

Myself, I had an 84 today. My driving was pretty solid, I hit 9/15 fairways, but the iron game, and especially wedges, was atrocious. I've got a terrible case of the sh*nks and I can't shake it. I hit only 4 GIR despite the good driving, and took 34 putts. At one point I thought that I might give myself the nickname "Two Putt Bogey," because that was all I could do. I ended up with 34 putts, and nothing but 4s and 5s on the card. A rather odd round, all in all.

I picked up a few of the Nike One Platinums in the pro shop, just to try them out, and played them on the holes that I wouldn't have a chance to lose them. If you can generate a lot of clubhead speed, it seems to give you quite an extra kick of distance, at least off the tee (I wouldn't know off the irons, as I hit every iron shot today so terribly ). I hit my longest drives ever on #1 and 3 with it, and overall had three drives over 290 today (this coming from someone who generally averages around 250 off the tee). But when I just didn't seem to get into it right, the ball didn't fly much farther than a drive with a ProV1 or NXT or whatever other ball I might be playing. I figure this is a borderline ball for me considering my swing speed (which I honestly have no clue of anyway) so I'll play out the sleeve and unless I find them on the course, likely won't buy any more.

I played 9 holes.. i **** terribly

ive only been playing like 2 months tho

I played really well today, finally. 2 weeks ago I was playing well also but the past couple of weeks I've been grinding it out everyday working on the 3/4 shot. Today I think I finally have it, I've been taking more club on almost every approach and today it finally worked out well. My driving was just okay, I missed a lot of fairways and drove one into the water, but overall I'm really happy with the way I played.

I had a case of the "Davey Crockets" recently and my coach fixed me up very quickly. I had my right foot at about 45 degrees to the target line so on the way down I was kicking my right knee towards the ball. The club had to get around my right knee and I was getting one or two a round on the shank.

I straightened my foot up so it was square to the target line and have been nailing it ever since. Give it a try!

Good job Ping and BDR. I will live vicariously through others until I figure out why my putter seems to have a magnet in it recently. (other magnet seems to be in my back pocket)

Interesting round yesterday. 2 birds, one on #1, a 462-yard par 4 which included a 312 yard drive with only 1 bounce on the cartpath. 2 quads, 2 triples, 8 penalty strokes. But I got it around in 32 putts.... GG's spell must be wearing off.

Shot 44, 9 over in the weekly tournament at Bountiful Ridge today...

Something is seriously wrong! Is it me?! Naw. It must be the other players somehow causing me to swing very poorly...
