Yesterday it was a scrape fest and I made lots of putts. Today I hit it close and made none of putts.

I also lost some wheels both times.

Frustrating game. Lost all my gains w my swing after 2 mo layoff F golf

Forgot to submit from a few weeks ago - our Golfweek Amateur Tour opener was held at Tour 18 on Feb. 24th.

I am in the C flight (14.0-19.0) and have played terribly in these events in the past. Started working with a new coach last year and I'm seeing significant progress. Based on past events I figure an 86 is typically what is needed to win my flight. That week my back was aching, but I decided to pop some Aleve and play anyway.

Well, after the front 9 I shoot a 43 with one triple. So I'm feeling optimistic and I'm sure I'm still in it. The problem is the group ahead of us in our flight are playing slloooooooowwww. They literally take 25 minutes on a hole. When the event was over the tour director sent out an email saying one group finished 50 minutes behind (it was them).

So my back starts aching and stiffening up to the point where I cant make a good full turn with my driver. Towards the end of the round I just hit 5 iron off the tee (even managed to par a par 4 doing that). When it was all said and done I had multiple triples and shot a 57 on the back.

43 + 57 = 100

Not the way I wanted to start the season.

Why can't I put two 9's together! I swear. 43-51 on Sunday. Ugh.

Played really well last week. Shot 36-34-36-43-34. That 43 was a flyer. I actually hit the ball just fine other than two very strange OB rights, one with a 3 iron on an approach. But I came back with that 34 on the back and flipped the game with an eagle on 18. Pretty good week.

Come out in our game on Wednesday and birdie one. Missed a tap in par on two. Oops but oh well. Then, out of nowhere, not only did I take the right side of the golf course out of play, I also took the middle of the golf course out of play. Everything started left and then turned left. I couldn't hit the ball straight to save my life. The more I tried the worse it seemed to get. Don't know what I shot cause we were playing a one ball match play, but it wasn't good.

Now it's blowing 30 today. I think I'm going to skip today and get some much needed work done. F golf.

Gonna try a new course tom. Cedar Creek in SA.

Looking to break a Hundy

Even when playing well this game is frustrating. Shot a course best 81, but 3 chips cost me 5-6 strokes. Then missed two 5 foot birdie putts.

The stupid thing is, all the chips were good strokes, just played the wrong club. Hit an 8 instead of a pw. Then a person instead of an 8. And the first was a 60 I hit a 20 yard shot on, but after looking at the green just needed to baby it onto the hill.

Fix that **** and I'm scaring par

Playing today. Please send prayers

I would have played a PW on #10.

Just me though.

In reply to jj9000 Player b with a pw...damn near scratch

Drive 20 mins, there was a tournament going on. F golf

I had 8-iron and 5-iron in on two par 5s. Walked away with a par and a bogey.

Drove the green on a par 4. Three-putted.

It's like I'm allergic to birdies.

In reply to bagger05 Join the club. I forgot I was pin high on the fringe yesterday after a 242 3w into the wind on par 5...par

In reply to mike_ags_fan12 I drove the best I have ever drove yesterday. Irons and approaches were dead on.

3+ putting is what killed me. Ended up with a 100.

**** golf

Shot 100 yesterday with 8 effing penalty strokes plus some other complete BS on my part. All but two weren't even OB, but the course was so packed that you didn't have a ton of time to look for shots in the deep rough. Had I not chosen yesterday to lose control of my driver that could have been a solid round. Hell I sprayed everything. The one redeeming factor was that I putted well. Otherwise that 100 could have been much worse.

Kicked off Oso front 9 with a 47. Then I nose dived for a 53 on the back. The wind and drives were not friendly to me.

Felt like I worked out some stuff on the range this weekend and was hitting it well before playing yesterday. Had 2 doubles on the front and was +1. Ok, can still salvage a good round.

Then the fun began. Had 4 doubles on the back. Still turned in a 79. It was either birdies or doubles for me all day. F golf.

+12....twelve strokes on two holes...otherwise played OK....even made some good putts....eff this game!

Double one. Easiest hole on the course. Did so without taking a penalty stroke. Played ok and finished the front in 39. Hit OB on 10, water on 11, and OB on 12 all off the tee. 10 was a pull hooked 3 wood. 11 was a fat 3 wood. 12 was a pushed driver.

I played OSO about 3 weeks ago. Greens were in great shape but those long par 4s into the wind are brutal.

In reply to jgh85Ag Played Oso for the first time a couple weeks ago. Fun little track, although have to make sure in bring a large can of repellent!

I put five freaking balls into the water on the easiest hole on the course and took myself out of contention of this big tournament where I'm defending champ. F GOLF.

In reply to bagger05 Watch him bounce back and make the cut, haha.

A piss you off 82* today at Arroyo Creek in Vegas. Started the back birdie, double, double, birdie, birdie, double. Lost one ball all day so my doubles were all my F ups

* Played with my uncle and one of his friends so we played up, but I know there were 4-6 shots out there that I should have made to prevent doubles.

Shot 81 and 78, but can't go home, have to wait around and congratulate the winner in a couple of days. F GOLF.

I played ok but the pigeon I nailed in the head with a three wood shot had a bad day.

91 in 55mph winds. I'll take it

I can't even "F golf!" at this point because there is over a foot of snow on the ground. Of course my first Minnesota winter would last through April

Get used to it buddy. Any golf in late March or early April are bonus days. I'm enjoying the 6 inches of snow already on the ground with plenty more coming down.

In reply to JHUAggie Where you at?

One plus, courses here are WAY nicer than where I came from (Oklahoma)

I had to pass on a round at ridgewood in Waco today.

F golf

those people should all have their kneecaps and thumbs crushed and hamstrings sliced 5 times.
