The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

had to play the same nine twice last night due to leagues making up rain cancelations. shot 38-37. only made one putt outside of 10 feet. just went tee to green and 2 putted. by far my best ball striking of the year. won $53 beans with 2 CTP and 2 skins
Nice round Siggy ?

Nice round Siggy way to go ⚡?
 
Played my longer and more challenging River Course today ,it's really busy course and hard to get on sometimes.

Shot a 39 which anything under a 40 on THIS one makes me ???,played with a couple old jock buddies so it was a laff riot.
 
3some team won $15 each
3 birdies from the gramps tees 76 or 77.
Skeeters were out which is rare there.
Made double on EZ hole by OB drive.
Nice putted and chipped good.
Fun day with the usual suspects..
 
Subbed in the 18 hole Thursday league.
Shot 80 1-bird, no doubles, blue tees, summer rules.
Putted well except for a brainfart 3-putt by forgetting it was uphill leaving the first putt woefully short.
Nice day to play golf.
 
. shot 38-37. only made one putt outside of 10 feet. just went tee to green and 2 putted.
Nice shooting.

Rounds like that make me wonder why I can’t just do that every time. It seems so simple when you think about it: middle of the fairway, middle of the green, 2 putts, move on.

It just never really is that simple.
 
Cold day on the River course today , temps in the 50's , no shorts , shot a 39/36 for 18 . Putter was on target again
 
2 day Labor Day Classic was fun.
Shot 80-76 2-man bestball off the blue tees.
There were 4 80s shot first day and we got put in lower flight, came in 4th out of 10 teams and were teeing off today 2 shots back.
If were in the higher flight we would’ve won 1st place in the flight the other 80s were put in.

It sprinkled a couple times but didn’t get wet or need a jacket.
Missed putts on the high side as they don’t break as much if the greens are stickier due to moisture. (Hydrogen bonding).

Heard the shouts from a hole-in-one on an adjacent hole. Golfer who made the ace later shank bonked a car in the parking lot but it came back into play. Not many folks make an ace and whack a car in the same round.

Could’ve been a contender.
 
well apparently my preaching on hitting fairways and greens was short lived. shot an 87 Saturday morning with very few fairways hit(lost $15). Still managed to 2 putt the entire round which was mostly for bogey. Love the game of golf and all the aggravation it brings. back at it this afternoon
 
Had a 38 this am on the River course , 1 bird 4 pars . Beautiful sunny and cool morning
