I played the best round of my life yesterday. But my putting was worse than ever, six 3 putts! I played Eagle Creek here in Orlando and shot an 82 (Par 73, 70.4/122). I hit 92.9% fairways (missed one), 61.1% G'sIR (only hit 1/4 Par 3's). But the kicker was 40 putts! Aaarrrrgh.
I wish I could blame the bad putting on the green conditions (Aerated/Sanded), but it was mostly bad putting on my part.
I guess I should be happy I kept it under 100 (shot 99), but no part of my game was there today. 2 fairways, 2 greens, 3 three jacks, 7 penalty strokes. So much for trying to shorten the swing...
I only played 9, and shot a 49. I got a par that I was really proud of. I won't talk about the other holes. I shot some really good shots to help recover from some really bad shots. Nonetheless, I enjoyed myself.
I played a new course yesterday par 68 and i scored 87,i was very unfortunate at one hole,i sliced my approach to green and went to get ball and there was a nasty piece of unsighted rough i scored an eight wheres i was hitting 4,s and definite 5,s,drives slightly right but fairway forfiving,approach sometimes short or to the left,but i had been practising lovely sandwedge lobs and sometimes i was down in 2 from off green and hit pin on one of them,a steady day at the office only had one bad shot all day when shanked a pw through green,did,nt count lost ball as bad as did good contact but unlucky with patch off rough which still had fairway ten feet in front
Davis Park Amateur. Started on #8. Very poor play. Most of the pins were close to the fringe and on a slope. I had 39 putts. Ended up in the "mud" trap on #11 which cost a couple of strokes. Pulled my drive on #4 into the tree, then rehit and had my best drive of the day.
A bit up and down to say the least. Started with a triple bogey on the first (OB with my drive, the perfect start), 3 more double bogeys, and eagle and three birdies later added up to a 77. Consistency personified!!!
Mine was yesterday too but I shot an 82. Starting to get really bored with being stuck in that range when I should be shooting more in the mid to upper 70's. Having a hard time dropping the ball into the hole. Burning edges for birdies but no cigar. Same on lots of par putts for that matter.
