The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

Played today for the 1st time since Sunday.
55F teeing off with 20mph wind.
Been shortenin my driver stance and after a few pulls put it in the fairway after figurin the “new” ball flight out.
44-40, never made a putt over 4 foot & greens weren’t fast.
Fun day to play.

Some dude in the NCAA men’s tourney just accidentally double hit a chip & they penalized him for it.... I thought that was legal now.

Ya can do it but not intentionally.
I’m not that good but do it once a year to stay in practice.
 
39 43 = 82 blues tees. Made a 6 inch bird.
Finished double, triple then bogey.
All from the middle of the fairway.
4 3putts after not 3 putting for 2 rounds.
A lot of 1 putts, greens were fastest they’ve been in a month.
Coulda been a contender.
Lost 3$.
Fun day with great weather and good folks.
 
I Sucked today ,shot a 43 on the Riverside course,pretty windy but no excuses,just did NOT play well.

Won $1 for the least putts by making a downhill slider right for par on the last hole.
Made a another double bogey 7 again on the 16th hole after being 70 yards out in 2 on the par 5..
It was dead into a 20+mph wind so used a club to hit a 90yard shot. Wind died and I flushed it into the thick stuff onto the bank long. Should’ve waited for wind to pick back up or used 1 less club. Had 10 footer for par that went 3 foot past, then did a toilet flusher U-ey lip out. Only 3 putt for the round.
39 41 from the whites no birds.
Greens were fast again.
Somebody in a kilt was playing bagpipes outside by the clubhouse and the Ryder Cup was on when we finished.
Another fun day to play golf with the usual suspects.
 
Just spent the weekend playing Atunyote and Shenendoah at Turning Stone resort. Atunyote is a treat. A bit pricy but a fantastic track. Should be on your bucket list. Played it fairly well but the greens ate me alive. 6 or 7 three putts is not the norm for me.

Only ever played at Atunyote and only once. Made an uphill bomber on 18 to tie and break 90.
It’s an amazingly nice place.
Pretty near perfect.
 
Same course ,same cold 49degrees and windy conditions ,same ugly score today .
 
I sunk a birdie chip shot in a scramble Monday, that is all
