i also wanted to say that i was fitted for a putter about a month ago and bought a max toe weighted putter my putting has dramatically improved, like 10' and in is finally better than 50% for me. If you have the opportunity to do that, i recommend it. The only reason i did it was because Ping was having a demo day at the muni while i was there on the range.

Nice, I've been considering a putter fitting at Club Champion but my putting has improved recently on its own. I might go that route if things start to unravel.

I've been trying to find a push cart over the last few days. Good fuckin' luck. Sheesh. The one I want (Sun Mountain Speed Cart) is sold out everywhere.

I shot a 54 last night and had a bad case of the shanks. Shot a 42 tonight. Golf is stupid. I love golf.

Followed up my 42 on the back 9 with a 49 on the front 9 today. Combo 91 isn't bad for me on that course.

Was +3 thru 3, then went triple, triple to sit +9 thru 5. Finished the last two holes at +1, so that was nice.

Played at Maumee Bay the other day. Course was really in good shape but you better keep it on the fairway. Lots of water and high heather. I shot a 101, which isn’t too terrible for me. 


We’re playing at Wolf Creek tomorrow in Adrian.

Went out by myself for the first time ever. Kinda scary how much I liked it lol. 

First 3 holes I had a 3-4 minute wait before every shot. 4th hole I called clubhouse and asked if it’s back to back the entire course and they were like yes unfortunately. Took me 30 min to play the 4th hole. 5th hole I said fuck it and drove up past 4-5 groups, fully expecting to just go home. But soon as I got to the 7th hole I realized it was a foursome that was hitting the ball 15 yards at a time. And I had the whole rest of the course to myself. Went birdie, bogey, par par par in the first 5 holes after I realized I was on my own from here on out. Was incredible

I love solo golf. Have to be willing to wait, like you did, unfortunately. Glad you got an open course ahead of you!

Yeah it was nice after I passed 2 holes. There was a foursome, 2 older couples. And when I passed them the one woman hit the ball 8 feet. No wonder it was so jammed.

Shot a 41 at league tonight. Was killing it off the tee with my 3W. Two crummy putts from shooting in the 30s for the first time ever.

I had 3 3-putts tonight. My worst hole was a double. Three pars and the rest bogeys.

I was cool with it. Had a ton of fun. It was nice not topping my 3W 40 yards every swing like last week when I shot a 49.

I can never seem to put it all together. 

My driver is usually strong. Now I’m hitting my irons exceptionally well and hitting every green and I’m duck hooking my driver off the tee lol

i had an exciting round yesterday. 64 on the front and 48 on the back. the greens were WILD fast. the reason i did so much better on the back is that i just used 1 club less than the distance on all approach shots on every hole on the back. I left it short and just chipped it on. I couldn't get anything to stick on the greens.

I’m playing Worthington Hills CC tomorrow. I hate paying 100$ to golf but it’s with some old muskingum college buddies so well worth it IF I play well lol. I’d like to shoot 88 but I’ll take anything under 93

79 is 4 shots better than 80

39 is 3 shots better than 40
