I Shot a 44 today.i was playing decent and hitting a lot of fairways but the par 3s killed me. Two triple bogies!If i would have pared those holes i would hav shot a 38! One of these days ill break 40.
Pretty much out of it...too many putts again, but finished with six pars in a row. Team won the back and 18. Nice second day of summer. :o)
Had the low gross on the back nine last week with the 34, won a $32 skin on #4, and an $8.50 skin on #10 plus the two skins in the noon game. I play in the front/back twilight and skins plus the noon game team Chicago format and skins Thursdays...lot to play for each week there.
I have been shotting quite good these past two days. My handicapp is 19.
Yesterday I shot 86(44-42) and 85(45-40) today. My putting has been excellent, probably because I have been demoing a Ping MiniC putter these past two rounds and it has really turned my putting around. Keep this up and my handicap will drop in no time. :)

Shot a 70 today for 43 stableford points. I was playing in one of those competitions where you get your name on a board in the clubhouse if you win, so fingers crossed. I will go and check the results in the morning. My Scores:
Shot a 80 today. It was my best round in 2 years but I'm a little disappointed since I was sitting at +6 after 16, only to double 17. I want to break into the 70s again!
Pistol vs Mr Bogey Epic Battle June 24 06 (Warm humid 88 degree day) White tees
Pistol wore me out 4 & 0 on the front, but I rallied for a 1 up win on the back and my last hole birdie won the press on the 18 to flat the days match.
I couldn't make a putt again today. I had 40 putts in Day 1 in my favorite tournament of the year...the Art City Amateur at Hobble Creek. Fortunately, I had a personal best since tracking my stats in greens hit in regulation. I hit 14 greens today in regulation. It was a low to mid 70's round with average putting, but my putting was worse than average. The pins were tournament pins...pretty tough, but 40 putts is still too many.
The weather was great and the course was in fine shape. The greens weren't quite as lush and fast and they have been in this tournament before, but very nice. We just haven't had any rain at all in a while for one thing. The condition is still excellent, though.

three holes to go. tied for the lead. just when i find out i was tied, i go ahead and shoot double par, bogey, double bogey. shot myself on the foot. how do i keep myself from this habit i seem to be developing?
Hacked my way around for an 80 today,only one for card & i'll have a handicap...
My putting stroke was on but i was always half a rotation too short,man i hate that.I did have a decent 15 footer from off the green,for bird,tho.
I guess when i get my handicap,i can have something to aim at,cause at the moment im up n down like a yoyo :|
Thats a great score when you take that many putts.
I thought so, too. 14 out of 18 greens and a couple of the fringe should mean par or better, but the greens were tough and the putting stroke wasn't very good. It will be interesting to see how I do today with hitting the greens and putting.
