The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

Had a 37 this am at Langbrook , Thrill of the day a hole in with my 56 degree ultra thin blade Knife wedge for a bird from 30 yds out . I carry 2 different SW's the knife for very tight lies and the regular size blade for traps .
 
This am played The River course shot a 39 ,1 birdie,5 pars and TWO ugly doubles ?.
 
39-44 at orchard creek today. Drove the ball well missed some short birdie putts. Had a triple from middle of fairway on 16 th Hole 16 is a demanding par 5. No room for error
 
Yesterday mad back to back birdies on 14 and 15.
First back to back birds in since I can’t remember.
Then the rains came hard and we quit after 15 holes.
Coulda been a contender but the hard stuff came down.

No doubles today subbing in the 18 hole Thursday league. 84.
Only green hit in regulation was the last one.
Course played long due to the rain the day before.
Knocked one in from 50 yards out for bogey after plugging the 2nd shot into the edge of the pond and then chunking the next one. Should’ve been for a birdie.
 
Was in LG for 3 days , first day had annual ck up on hip replacement in Saratoga .....went very well after 5 years time. Doc was very pleased , he is a great guy skis Gore regularly and is familiar with THIS forum

Then Ugh got shut out wednesday in Queensbury , damn day long torrential rains . Tried to play very early but sr womens leagues had both courses tied up so got skunked dammit.

We came home yesterday in a damn beautiful day but the ride was spectacular. The color change IMHO from Long Lake north about 35 - 40 per cent . This time for a change of pace we did 28 N , started seeing some brilliant reds tge farther nort we drove .. Id estimate by first week in October the change will be in 60 per cent range if this pattern continues
 
Just back from a crazy round this am . I did NOT play well?. It started out ok with 2 pars then 5 straight bogeys as My Putting "sucked canal water".

So I finished with par and a Bird to literally SAVE a 39. The round was like a ?Sandwich ???

dude a shit sandwich is 4 lost balls on your way to a 48. most golfers would give there right arm to shoot 39. you scrambled without your A game.
 
sig : yeah i get your comment

I play ALOT and practice every day so i expect to play well , and when i dont , i laugh it off but know i screwed up and today the number was ok but the consistency sucked
