The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

No double bogeys or worse yesterday and flopped one in for birdie playing with some usual suspects. Had a couple other relatively short birdie putts <15’ that just missed. Course is in great shape and starting to get some roll on the drives. Shot 79 but we didn’t keep score and moved it in the ruff. Got to play with a couple legends who are 94 and 88 and still hit em well. The 94 year young one has been shooting under his age everytime for years. First day back at it for him. Have yet to lose a ball this year and have been out for 5 rounds now.
Had a pint on the porch afterwards as it was National Beer Day. Life is good.

The 94 year old described above is now 95 and shot 75 Wednesday after “moving up” recently to the gold senior tees.
He was even par (36) on the front side and shot four over (39) on the back.
He’s shot 78, 77 and a couple 76’s the last couple weeks off the golds.
22 under yer age is the world record allegedly.
He’s definitely a contender.

Yup.
He shot another 76 yesterday.
Another buddy had 4 birds and shot 76 from the whites.
I had a 40-44 for an 84 with only 1 par on the back from the whites, missed an EZ 3 foot birdie that horseshoed the hole and dunked another shot in the pond again but got up and down from 95 yards for a bogey.
Hit it in several sand traps too.
Been working on hitting the irons higher but now they aren’t going as straight.
Good golf ain’t EZ.

You're right bout that last statement !!! Been working on cranking my wrists more and made slight adjustment with right hand on the grip in an effort to pick up distance .......so far the experiment has mixed results
 
Eeked out a Fugly 40 this am on the easier upRiver course .Putter sucked today except for one 25 footer to save par
 
We played the River side Course this am in British Open conditions: ( cold , flag bending winds and wet from overnight rain) shot a 41 but blew some putts that cost me pars . We were satisfied however under these conditions had long pants , jackets etc ...it was wild
 
Heading out in a bit : sunny , bright and brisk this am after earlier fog banks on The River . Woke up to the dulcet tones of Rivership caps Tootin' their horns
 
Shot a 39 , but frankly didnt play well not very sharp

Just too many missed 6 ft putt oportunities but did have a bird on the last hole to break 40 Awesome shorts n shirt sleeve weather tho and not crowded at all
