Wow. That is a level of suck and misery that has not been seen on this board. Congrats.

Buddy informed me on the tee box of #11 yesterday that I was 10/10 GIR.

....so of course I shank that tee shot off a cliff and into the water.




...then I proceeded to drop 2 and shank 3 over the same cliff and into the water. Took an 8 on a par 3 and wanted to quit golf altogether.

You know, its **** like that that has been my downfall in the last 5 years or so. I used to make very few doubles or more. Now I can't get thru six holes without making one. Its always something different too, but the majority of them are bad drives or irons into the green. And it shouldn't be that dang hard to get to the green. I don't **** up too much on and around the green. But i can sure as hell hit it OB, left and right. I can blade a lob wedge, hit one off the hosel, skull it, chunk it, top it, yank it left, About once every 4-6 holes. Sucks. I should probably practice more and play less.

My low round is an 81. I thought yesterday at Southwyck might be the day. Recovered nicely after a double on a Par 3 to shoot +3 on the front. Proceeded to quad the first Par 3 on the back to shoot +9 on the back. Finished the Par 3's at +7. Still thinking about that quad this morning. Oh well, maybe next time.

My driver left me this past week- push or hook- but my wedges have been dialed in. Par for the first 7 holes, came to an easy par 5 and bombed a driver down the pipe. Hit easy 6 from 200 and hooked it into a hazard, took double, fried egg in a bunker on 9 caused a bogie to finish +3, birdied 10, great par on 11, then another fried egg on 12 caused another bogie. Finoshed +3. Wtf, why cant i get it to par?!?!?

The rare Monday post.


first six holes even.

Next seven holes +10

Last 5 holes -1


WHAT THE HECK. I know the harder stretch was more into the wind, but wow...it's like a little wind in the face and I tensed up. Pulled everything, and never finished a swing. Very frustrating to know you can make the swings, and fail.

got home to find my my new fitted irons & wedges came in yesterday and excitedly rushed to the range.

never could get comfortable over the ball after hitting really well, really consistently lately. i guess i wasn't transferring my weight well and hit nothing but these high, ballooning iron shots with terrible dispersion.

pulled out my 3 wood which has historically been my worst club until the last month or so and hit nothing but absolute bullets. left the range cussing my new expenditure (yes i know it was the indian, not the arrows).

57 yrs old today.

This is how a post on F golf should look.

Ouch

And you've done it twice


Cant imagine how to top that

Yep. 149 9 iron into the sun I didn't see drop after a bad first shot off the cart path.

Today right pin and not even a bad push that went into the hazard. Second shot looked great and heard it hit the flag.

Damn...I wish I could have seen this!!

Nice Par.

First thing I thought was your ass dying on the tee box struggling to laugh out "nice par"

I made an OB Par today. Been putting really well the last few weeks but had three three putts in the first 8 holes. I am +3 on the par 5 9th sitting 240 a little up hill. Hang my second shot out so far right it ends up in my buddies parents back yard. Drop, hitting four. Hit it to six feet and make the putt. OB par.

Get on the back and hit my drive right on 14 but had a decent lie. The problem is the OB stakes are set all ****ed up where it cut off part of the rough and made it OB. Would have never been OB if there was a white line. But we are cheap and apparently cannot afford paint.

So an OB par, three three putts in the first eight holes, and a bull**** OB ball, and I shoot 77. That is the definition of leaving strokes out on the course.

This is the worst year of golf in my life. I can't find the right move or any consistency. I shot +6 and +8 over my already inflated HDCP this weekend. Did some soul searching Monday & Tuesday. Considered buying a boat. I made another change and went out for a late 9 holes. I hit every fairway, missed both par 3's on well struck balls just off the green. Missed one other green from 200 out, just off again. Nobody was around. I could've hit 50 fairways in a row. I couldn't miss. F-golf.

...so what was your score. It better be under par, because if not you need to focus on your putting.

Don't bring me down, man.

I'm about a 22 handicap on my course. Couldn't wait to play today it's been so long w all the rain. Had a chance at a hell of a front 9 but screw up w putting. I shot 45 w 4, yes 4 three putts. Then choke up a 53 on the back nine. So end up w my pretty typical score.

I had three birdie putts and two par putts. I walked away with one par, three bogeys, and a double. Shot 100 (personal best is 99). **** golf.

Fired a 73; +2 on Friday, 23 putts, so I'm feeling pretty good teeing it up on Saturday morning. Nope! Double bogeyed the first five holes! Never felt comfortable over the ball. Swing was **** all day. Pulled out the fireball and things got a little better. Finished with a 46 on the front and 43 on the back. Let's see what happens today!

F 8 days of rain and no golf.

Sup. Got the shanks.

Golf gods were merciful. Played much better on the back without any mis hits.

Love watching this fellow swing a club. Notice how folks dressed back in the day.

Good winter watch because I suck at winter golf


When it is too wet to play

Wrong thread...and website

So just took up golf seriously about 3-4 months ago. Taking lessons and my game is improving. Tee box OB's have been my nemesis.

Just recently joined a club by the house in Katy.

Played back 9 today. 36 par.

Miss a 3 foot birdie putt on #14 a Par 4 hole. Par that hole.

No OB's going into #18 (a par 4 hole) with a score of 39 so far. Started thinking about how good I was playing. Then I got as nervous as a long tail cat in a room full of rockers.

Hit my tee shot onto driving range. Punch out for #2 onto fairway that puts me 150 out. Big winds today. Green is on peninsula. High winds left to right. Hit my 7 to the left on approach. Wind died and quit blowing. Goes into pampas grass on left. Drop 4 hitting 5. Scull it into water. Drop 6 hit 7. Chunk it onto green (thank God). 2 putt for a crowd pleasing 9.

Finish with 48.

Silver lining: It's my second nine to post under 50.

F Golf.

Lol.

Actually truth be told, I did not. Wasn't going to do that. Done it before and learned my lesson. I did it after the hole and it was bitter sweet to see I broke 50. Tried to screw it up though. Lol

Sounds an awful lot like Falcon Point. If that's the case, you're not the only one who has trouble keeping it in play out there.

Yes. Falcon Point.

Water on every hole out there, but one.

Challenging course.
