Shot a 38 (+4) tonight at league with 6 pars and a double. I had one OB drive that would've been fine on an open course. 

I hit my driver for the first time on this stupidly short par 4 and put it about a yard or two past the green (ShotScope says 245 yards). I almost always hit a hybrid on that hole, and almost always put it on the hill or the fairway on the hole to the right. I'll stop being a chickenshit from now on and hit driver. 

Every other drive was in the fairway in pretty optimal position for a good second shot. Had one 278 yard drive. Most were in the 230-245 range. 

Only three bad shots all day. No three putts. 

tl;dr - This was the best 9 holes of golf I've ever shot in my life.

If any of you want to come down to Florida, I am putting on a charity golf tournament next month.

I’ll be in Florida in a month, but not too close to Jacksonville.

Too bad. I'm pretty suave and got the actual PGA tour to be one of my sponsors. I might even have a foursome at Sawgrass to give away. 

What's the event name?

That's well after we leave anyway. Good luck with it.

Just got back from Ross Bridge in Birmingham AL. HIGHLY recommend. there is 3 amazing courses to play there and the hotel/resort is phenomenal. I think I'm going to take the wife there at some point. Played the Ross Bridge course both days (didn't have time for the others since i was there for work) and played well on day 2 - 81 which is amazing for me.

This is the resort i stayed at:

RENAISSANCE BIRMINGHAM ROSS BRIDGE GOLF RESORT & SPA

This is the Trail website, several great courses to play:

Been there, Brad.

I played yesterday for the first time since last July. Course is mowed too much. So much brown and basically there is no rough. Ball rolls forever. I hit 6 shots that I impressed myself with at contact just to watch the ball land like it was on a parking lot. Putts weren’t falling but hit very few bad shots.

Played a charity scramble over the weekend and we tied for first (lost in a tiebreaker).

Going to play Sawgrass probably next weekend. 

Played Harbour Town Golf Links last monday. Shot 100 even from the blue tees. Super happy with that. Almost had an ace on 17 (missed the hole by about 3 inches according to my caddy and had a 10" birdie putt), beat my Southern Hills score by 12 strokes. 

A guy I got paired with randomly (who is a member at Field club or Edgewood in Pittsburgh, I forget) shot 75. It was really cool watching that guy take on that course.

2nd time out

Hit 12/14 fairways 

Shot a 77….had 2 birdies

But on my 12 fairways I only got to the green in regulation on 5 of them. I was miserable from 150 in the center of the fairway. Didn’t hurt score much but irritating 

71! I shot even par today on my 5th round of the season

Made 3 12-18 ft birdie putts and made 25, 14 and 15 ft par putts.

Nope…all used up

I'm playing Sawgrass again next week. I'll see if I can improve on my 87 from last time.

I did not improve, but I did hit it to 3 feet on the island green.
