recap of golf rounds – good and bad
I don’t know what to say anymore. It was a bad day. The only bright spot was 17, a 175-yard par 3. I put it 5 feet from the hole and had a birdie putt. And of course I missed it. The hard part was done, the easy part was left, and I still couldn’t … Read more
Golf’s been a grind lately, motivation-wise, but looking back at my last few rounds, there’s actually some good stuff in here. Did really see the good until I wrote this down. Glad i did. The Rounds August 29 — South Suburban (18) Played during the Lauren’s bridal shower weekend with my brother-in-law Jim, Rick, and … Read more
Glacier and the Bridges: A Golf Weekend, August 22–23 Jake won a raffle for a foursome at Glacier — the Valley Course near Durango, normally $250 a round, landed for just over $400 for all four of us. That kind of deal doesn’t come around often, so Friday we drove to Montrose, then got up … Read more
Got to the course a little early to hit the range, like I always do. Warming up loosens up the body — helps more at my age. The range session was solid, though I’ve learned not to read too much into it. I’ve had great range sessions and then played terrible, and bad range sessions … Read more
Played an early afternoon round on August 9th with Lucas and a couple randoms. Started off a little slow but with some solid drives, but true to form lately, it took a few holes to really get going. Hole 1: Doubled it — slow start. Hit a tree on a chip, that didn’t help. Hole … Read more
August 5 — South Suburban, 9 holes Played the usual nine with the boys on Wednesday. Hadn’t had a real round for a while, guess I’d count the lessons a week ago — just some garage/simulator sessions in between. Overall feel: Still can’t put it all together consistently. I’ll nail one thing on one shot, … Read more
Golf is a crazy game — it’s amazing how different a round can be from one day to the next. Same person, same clubs, same balls, different course, could that be why, don’t know, whatever. Anyway, much better round this day than yesterday. Actually hit some good shots and scored a little better — not … Read more
9 holes at Kennedy Creek, July 21st Not a lot of good things to say after playing so well last week in KS. Just didn’t have it today — no pars, a couple doubles, a triple, and honestly wasn’t sure what I was doing out there. Just fell out of whack. It was a super … Read more
Tuesday, July 14th — Golf in KC One of my best rounds of the year. Played Lake Quivira Country Club in Kansas with my brother-in-law — a pretty tough course where I usually don’t play well, see some of my other rounds here. Today was the exception. I hit the ball really well overall: good … Read more
A Tale of Two Rounds — July 10th & 11th Weird one this week. I felt like I played terrible on the 10th and much better on the 11th, but the scores came out almost identical. What the hell. July 10th — Kennedy Golf Course Played 2 out of the three nine-hole courses, Babe Lind … Read more
