Thread: Your latest golf game

Wow, what a trip. I just spent a good amount of time re-reading this entire thread.

The good - My index is down from a 16.4 to an 8.5. My putting has improved. I am on my 2nd driver, 2nd 3 wood, and 3rd set of irons (and 3rd putter). Not too bad since the end of 2006.

The Bad - I have noticed I am still bitching about the same **** I was bitching about nearly 4 years ago. I really need to work on distance control. We seemed to have lost some golfers.

92 Destroyer Golf Course.

Has it going along pretty good until 14, and then my wedges left me and caused me great consternation. Finished the last 3 holes in 7 or 8 over.

THIS is funny!

I've thought about looking back at some of the earlier posts just to see what I was doing back then, but I haven't gotten around to it.

I am pretty sure I'm using the same irons. Maybe a new wedge or two. Probably a new (used) driver. I forget when I started posting in here, and I have lost virtually all sense of time as the years have gone by.

Guilty as charged.
Went to the range last weekend.
Killed every club in my bag.
That was good enough for me.
Don't want to risk such a confidence builder by playing an actual round!

It's great that you could see what you need to work on, in part, because of this thread.

After today's round, I completely understand where you are coming from. I have been working on increasing my lag at the range, and it has been working real well. I have noticed a 5 - 10 yard increase in distance, where my 8 iron is going about 150 - 155 with range balls. Today, I couldn't get it 140 - 145.

Yeah, especially today. I was ON with the driver. I hit the first 9 fairways. I just couldn't find the green on the approaches. Short, left, right, long.. you name it, I was there.

The great thing about golf is that there is always next round (which may be at the destroyer course again).

this game is just wrong. I am now back to not being able to get off the tee, which does wonders for the GIR number.

F me.

88 @ Green River.

Played at a couple Walters owned courses, Royal Links and Bali Hai while at in Vegas. In fact, played with my STHer rep Scott on Sunday.

For those who know about trophies...The Claret Jug

Well, the month of October has pretty much come and gone, with nary a whimper in this thread.

My month was not as good as I would like, seeing as how work, a nasty cold, and the god damn shorter days got in the way of practice time.

October has been the month where the driving and ball striking have absolutely left me.

87 at Green River, 87-83 at Mile Square Classic, and a tidy 91 at El Dorado. What really sucks is that I haven't done anything really good, but nothing really bad either. The consistency has waned.

Now, I am off to Dallas tomorrow for a round or two with friends. Yes, it is my Friday today.
