Shot a 51 for 9 holes. Did really bad at the beginning, started with three triples.
Ended up par'ing 7, bogeying a long par-five 8 (cause i messed up one putt), and par'ing 9...Darn #9. It's a par 3...there's no fairway. It's Tee Box - Water - Green. About 120 yards. I teed off with a 9-iron, and it looked like it was gonna go in the hole. Then it rolled back. I get up to the green and I see my divot about 8 inches from the hole, then rolled back a couple feet. I was peeved. So I blew the putt, and ended up parring it.
51 isnt that bad for me, granted it is a long par 36 course, and I'm using foreign clubs I've used once or twice in my life.
shot a lousy 117 on saturday but the course was very long 6402, wasn't hitting it very well off the tee but i think that lesson i had kinda got me thinking too much and i forgot to relax my arms and hands until about the 15th hole and then realized i wasn't but the 16-18 were great and i was ready to hit another 18 but my guys were beat.....
yesterday i hit a 107 and that is my low score at my home course, i was hitting the ball great off of the tee especially with my 3 iron, first hole is a 436 par 5 and i usually get a bogey or even a double but i got a par to start the day and also got a par on the 18th a 149 par 3 straight up a hill so that made me feel great...
feeling good about teeing off now, less hooks, slices, etc...and hitting it pretty far, very confident that my game is gonna improve dramatically in the next few months....
thats what keeps us all at the game isnt it? the dream that you will go out one day and play that perfect round, and leave the course with a smile on your face! :)

yeah i know exactly what you mean, i just love nothing more than hitting that perfect shot that just does exactly what you want, nothing can replace that feeling for awhile, had my share of them yesterday and it just made me smile from ear to ear.....
Driving greens and three-putting? Interesting combo...
Anyway, I'm getting ready to play my home course in about...two hours. When I come back, I HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE not to get anything worse than a 98 from the back tees...or if I join up with some short-hitters, a 95 from the middle tees.
I got rained out around Hole 8 today...couldn't have been better timing, I was having a horrible round. I got a 9 on the Par-5 4th! It was bad, though, because I hit a 3-iron off the fairway and it sliced into the 15th fairway, where some old lady found it, confused it for her ball, and hit it. It took me 5 minutes to explain to her that she had hit MY ball instead of hers, so it ended with me taking her ball and her continuing with mine.
I was hitting a Top Flite XL 2000 ... hers was a regular Top Flite XL ... those balls look ENTIRELY different from each other. Both of them were 0, so she assumed hers was the 2000 and she hit it. She really annoyed me. But oh well, I never had to finish the round, so I'm happy
I only went out for 9 today, shot a 1 over 37 which is pretty good for me (35.9 course rating). It actually was a decently long course, almost 3400 yards. It was fun i played with my dad. Blind sided myself on 9 to shoot an even par 36. Launched my drive, launched my second shot but forgot to play the wind and ended up behind a tree about 50 yards away and had to use a 9 iron to try and keep it low run it onto the green, but with the wind behind me and having to carry a bunker and keep it low i knew it would be a tough shot, i actually played it exactly how i wanted, but i hit the lip of the bunker and ended up in it, got it out to about 10 feet and then missed the par putt. Would have been nice to par a course i haven't played before, but o well.
Greg...you could have dropped another ball where the lady hit yours. That isn't cheating you know.
Anyway...HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! I SHOT A ******** 110!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was my worst score in around 3 months...oh well...it could have been worse and besides...tomorrow is another day.
Not exactly true Bates. By the rules of golf, if Greg could not find his ball, then it is deemed lost. That is a stroke and distance penalty. Go back and replay from the original spot. Now if he could prove that she played his ball, i.e. he had put a distinctive mark on it, then yes he could go get his ball and drop it in that area and play with no penalty.
