The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

[Warp daddy]

I hear you and yeah generally i would be satisfied TJ , but i play 3 times a week . So playing SR tees at 77 so "expect " to shoot at least my average for the season so far now at 39 for 45 rounds .

Been shooting hi 30's to 41 for several years now playing the old fart tees ... Yeah I PUSH myself but enjoy the hell out of the game as you do .

Back when i was a younger buck like until 5 yrs ago before hip reconstruction surgery after the initial failed surgery ,i always played 18 holes 3 days a week using the white tees usually scoring 82 -83 .. I work at it , and practice "short game "every day .

Hey Good on ya for scrambling Sunday , sometimes u just gut it out . Those irons will come around for ya , it takes a little bit to figure out new toys . Was up your way over the weekend the various LP area courses looked to be in great shape . Hope we get another month or so to play . I ususally cut out after temps go below 45

Been playin better usin the AVX ball. Straighter and longer, I don’t try to spin the ball on approach shots. Seems to go in the hole in fewer strokes, or could be the placebo effect.

Interesting.i play primarily Srixson or Noodles .. Never try to spin my approaches .

Still of the opinion that it 's Not The Arrow , it's The Indian .?

Shot another 38 today , 6 pars ,crowded course today with this beautiful fall weather .

Todays thrill was in the right rough on a dogleg right just about 40 yds off the hidden green which is tucked in over a swamp pond which is heavily treed.

Opened up my sand wedge and lobbed one over the pond and trees onto the green and saved par

Shot a 40/38/78 yesterday several pars and one bird ......cool but partly sunny with some rain . The season is winding down. Lots of leaves down now and we played four holes in the pouring rain .

We go till the temps are in the 40's and the course pulls the carts . Hopefully get out about 3 more times before this happens

Absolutely stunk today , headed for my worst round of the season after 7 holes with no pars and a double bogey , then parred and birdied the last two holes to salvage a 42 . Lucky to get that today

39/49 today. classic bone head golf. played first 6 in even then went double, double, par. back was a shit show. my pea brain showed its ugly head. you think...... you stink

 

[Warp daddy]

Oh i hear ya , stunk again today another 42 , but at least today it was in British Open style winds ..

Holy shit at the 5 th tee freaking 30 mph wind gusts blew the damn ball off the tee WTF !!!

It was bad enough my pants were riffling like a damn flag and the flag sticks were bending but THAT was ridiculous .

Today my head was asleep . DOH i was NOT taking the 1-2 Club Up strategy in the winds and i was coming up short on drives AND approaches .......dumb shit .?
