How did you score in your last round? - 2020

RoadRunner

22/17 off 9hc for 39 pts and 6+.
I was 2+ after 15 and shanked an eagle chip on 16 to kick off a bogey bogey double finish while finding water on the last.

Improvements in chipping helping but so too are gimmes (casual golf) :rolleyes:

Everyone has been here mate. Im sick of people telling me I should be off single figures with my swing! Im off 18.. My game is mainly mental and I try to hard.. I suggest getting a lesson thats what I do when it gets frustrating. I actually decided to get 1 a month this year and was flying it till lock down! Feel like I have gone 10 steps backwards now.. but Im seen my Pro in a week and sent him a video of my swing so have something to work on in the mean time. but my errors are always small... which I think is more frustrating. That I cant figure them out!

I'm exactly the same in that its all mental for me. Started off post lockdown so well and then swing adjusted myself into not being able to play golf. Its not intentional either but just trying to keep a feel when I'm hitting it well. Lessons in those cases are either great or they ruin me by giving me more to think about.

The worst is going for a lesson and inexplicably hitting it well . Now they are obliged to find something to help you with and I don't need more swing thoughts

Have you owned/played with blades before? I have hit my mates Wilson staff model blades and Im actually in love with them.. So easy to hit and ball sinks into face, great feel too. I was always told blades are for better players but I am hitting them much better than mine.. Thinking of getting a set

I had Titleist AP2's and wasn't liking them so gone back to my old titleist blades and forgot how good they feel.. like butter and the flight is so strong vs the AP2 where I felt they where a little high and not great in the wind

I think blades at times are easier to hit espically from 7-w

Then the Pro might 'accidentally' fix something I actually do properly.

My swing is a very delicate ecosystem of competing swing thoughts that occasionally work in harmony, but usually one battles it out to be the winner and ultimate destroyer of my round.

I wish it was course management but it's just not. If I have the right guy I think you're a corballis member as well. Some of the places I tend to go wrong, possibly even scratching a hole;

2. Approach into the green heavy and into the valley / over the green into the thick stuff behind. I'm very consistent about putting the tee shot where it should be. Green should be easy to hit from there, but I'm giving myself constant problems.

3. Sliced drive. This is an improvement on when I used to lay up with my tee shot. Ultimately that would leave a 3/4 shot into the green for my 3rd.same problems as on the second.

4. 3/4 shot off the tee can leave me in trouble

5. It's just a tricky green to get at. If you don't leave your ball on the right level it's a very tricky putt. If you don't hit the green it's a very tricky chip followed perhaps by a very tricky putt.

6. The wind kills me here - I hit the ball too high for the course. But with no wind it's a 3/4 wedge so that's a problem. With a wind it's a 3/4 8 iron or something, so that's a problem.

7. Same as he second hole. Tee shot is consistently where I want it. 3/4 wedge shot is a problem.

11. This is a problem now. I think the ground is too hard to go for the green so I lay up. But then I'm left with a 3/4 shot in and the ground is crap where it ends up.

12. I slice a few drives but it's probably my best hole.

13. So hard to club. Unfortunately sometimes requires a 3/4 wedge. But even when I hit it well I'm sometimes long or short. Then the green can kill me anyway.

14 & 15 the greens are very tough. Also, I keep over clubbing going on and going over the back. Possibly losing the ball / scratching the hole.

17 that green is a killer. You have no choice but to go for the pin and that's not easy,

18. Very difficult green to hit and if you don't very difficult to play.


It was balbriggan I played yesterday and to be honest the driver was the big problem and that frustration carried through to everything else. But playing in corballis my driving has really suffered and I stuck with it because I wanted the practice. And I paid €400 for it so I want to play with my toy. And I enjoy hitting big drives. In corballis my single biggest problem is the non full shots. I got a lesson on them in February and I just need to practice the technique. Because I think most people are thinking of giving themselves makeable birdie putts from 80m. But the truth is I'm more consistent from 160m. Fewer inside 10 feet, but more on the green/ fringe.

Also the wind. God that's killing me out there. Entirely because I hit the ball very high.

Sorry for the ranting, I'm very frustrated!!!

This is so funny to read (sorry). I used to be a member of Corballis a few years ago and I can empathise with you. There was a bad drought one of the years I was there too and to be honest the course was in dreadful condition - not a blade of grass on the fairways and full of divots, really hard to stop the ball on the green.
I used to mostly play the 3rd as a par 5, only use driver on 15 and 16, play teeshots to where I wanted the 2nd shot from. I don't hit as far as you and have 4 wedges so I didn't really have the problem with 3/4 wedges. I also learned to use the putter a lot from well off the green.
Hope this helps you somewhat. Stick with it. Good days lie ahead!

There’s a certain golfer who hears high teens handicap and will smell bandit. They’ll then slag you about it especially if you start well or can hit the ball a decent distance. Most of the time it’s good natured, sometimes it isn’t. Then you’ll start inevitably duffing shots to prove why the handicap was accurate, they’ll go quiet or worse start giving you tips.

You have to have a thick skin to play golf when you’re an improver. You have to block out that slagging about your handicap so you can build scores and get yourself cut.

Played 13 last night. Drive on first OOB.
Next hole, par 4 300m, drive rolled onto edge of green - 4 putted for bogey.
Fun times

Thats is exactly it! I played Portmarnock links a few years ago it was actually a boards society outing think it was my second year.. Started par, birdie, then had a few pars and bogies and birdied the 7th or 8th (par5) So had 2 birdies and a couple of pars on the first 9 never done it before, on for a great round as was hitting it well (in the zone). And the lads joking said to me how you off 20 bandit..lol.. I then fell apart because it was in my head.. pure mental..

I joined a new club 2 years ago and my mate won something like 5 out of the 7 competitions the first couple of weeks probably even more! and had seconds & thirds think he won 3 in a row at one point. It was winter but they cut him from 18 to 13 on general play.. which didnt bother him.. but people were moaning that he was winning all the time.. still didn't bother him.. (he was off 18 in are previous club for years and never won anything)

So I try think of that now and get that killer instinct! Still haven't won in ages! ..lol..

The mental side of it is literally crazy. I was playing a sunday morning comp at my course at the start of the year. I was on fire, 18 points on the first 7 holes. All that time I had this annoying as hell ear worm going over and over in my brain - the bloody dawson creek theme tune of all things. All that was in my brain was 'I don't wanna wait..' over and over again and through all this I was hitting fairways and greens like it was nothing. Then 8th tee, snap hook out of bounds left and in an instant the ear worm was gone and my game fell completely apart


wow, it feels good to get that off my chest

finglashoop

36 points
16/20
6 pars
1 birdie
1 scratch

Arrived a bit late so no warm up and started double double.

Made a mess of index 1 9th for a scratch

Cant wait for comps to come back to see if i can do it with a card and get handicap down

billy3sheets

37 (16+21) off 16 this evening in a fairly strong wind.
Putting really well. Ball striking is generally good.

I have a sore right shoulder and I don't know if it's hindering or helping me mostly. Certainly stopping me from over swinging.

willabur

34 points of 13

Played decent in some really really tough conditions. Sure was blowy in corballis today. Had a 245 yard 5 iron on 18. Ultimately difference between today and previous outing of 39 points was putting. Greens and fairways in regulation same both days. Putter was cold.cold.cold

Snackbox20

Delighted finally to play a round of golf, first one back.
37 points off 16, no scratches, first time in donkeys that has happened.
Chipping needs a bit more consistency. Need to work my correct distance with my 52 degree.
Driver and irons we're striking good too.
Just want to get out again :-)

mighty magpie

1st qualifying comp of the year.

+1 through 7 after some very good driving.
Doubled 8 (water)
3 putted 9 for bogey
Duck hook OB on 10, double.
Played 11-18 in +2 with 2 x 3putts.

+8
34 points off 6.

Very disaappointing after probably my best ever GIR (13/18).

Checked garmin after the round, 7 drives over 270. 1 three wood 260.

3 poor duck hooks. Getting lazy and flipping hands/not completing swing.

29 points today. Round got away from me earlier on with some untidy play around the greens.

37km walked in n 3 days on the course. Wrecked

41 points (hides) - including 3 scratches.

Scratches were really annoying because it was completely out of kilter with everything else in my game. Each of them came from really really sloppy shots with my usually very reliable 5wood. Three holes, Rough, Rough, Shank all from the same club.

Apart from that played really solid golf. 13 greens in regulation, no birdies. Irons were very very good. Distance putting was very good, from 8-15 feet didn't look like anything went close to dropping. All in all cannot be unhappy with my game, feel like I am getting better each time I go out there

Going through a nightmare time over the last 3 weeks.
Last minute spot opened for me do I took it. After my first 3 shots I was starting to wish I hadn't gotten out of bed. Turned it around a bit but too many silly errors caused me to to only have 16 back. Still an improvement on previous so not completely despairing.

13

had 14 pars (13 GIR which makes a massive difference)
1 bogey
2 doubles
1 triple

Wombatman

Shot 1 over par. My best round by a long way. Have been playing well of late. Swing change, gym work and new clubs (driving in great with new driver) have all combined to really push me on. Course playing easy and bunkers being out of play (worst part of my game) had me hovering around 80 on a par 72 the last few rounds.

Then everything clicked on Friday evening. Little of no wind. Three bogeys, two birds and the rest pars. Bitter sweet in that I would have loved to shoot level par but doubt I will ever get a chance like that again. Decent looks for bird on 16 and 17. Missed a 4 footer on 2. Two fairway bunker drops really helped the score though.

Hoping for a big cut when comps come back. If I can get to single figures I will probably retire. Curse of a game.

I laughed out loud when I read that. This is exactly what it's like to be a golfer. You shoot the round of your life but still come in thinking about what could have been. I've done the same when the first time I shot 80 - I thought god I had some real chances to get a round in the 70s. The most birds I've ever had in a round is three - and every time I came in counting how many it could have been. It's actually what gets us back out there. However well we do we always know that it could have been a few shots better.

And well done, that's some super round. I'll keep playing hoping to shoot it, however impossible it might be for me!

rickis tache

32 again off 13. 13 points on front 19 back.
Terrible start with lost drive on the 1st. Then bogey scratch scratch. So 2 points after 4. Red mist descending. Then steadied the ship. Scratched the 12th but found a way to scramble 19 on the back 9.
Can't seem to get any kinda of a start lately.

18/18,

Was having a fairly average round of golf, was tracking for 16pts on the front nine. Par 4 9th is about 300 yards. had a very good drive of 260ish yards. Well over my average distance. Hit a lovely pitch which looked like it would be close, cant see the bottom of the flag from the fairway. When I got up there it was in so ended up with 18pts.

Back nine was fairly boring, 2 one pointers and 2 3 pointers. So many missed putts. Greens very slow and I couldn't get the speed of them.

Im a bit afraid, I haven't shot a round over handicap since golf returned so a terrible round is just around the corner. :O

Seve OB

took a 3 putt on the 10th yesterday in Castleknock for a par after flushing 2 pure strikes, but after that minor hiccup, went par, bogey, par, bogey, birdie, birdie, bogey and left it half a roll short for birdie on 18. 2 lips outs in there on 17 & 14. 17 was a soft miss from not much more than 2 foot, but slight downhill breaker which a never easy.... but i still shoulda hit it harder!
It was off the forward stick and playing easy, but still rock solid +1 for 9 holes which I was very happy with.

But putting is killing me.

blue note

20 points on 13 holes last night. Not the worst I suppose. I had 4 scratches and a 4 putt for a point on 9, so they didn't help. 2nd hole I've no idea where my ball went. Hit a wedge to what I thought was the middle of the fairway. Must have taken an unmerciful kick into the rough. 12th hole I must have caught the rough with my drive. 9 times out of 10 you'll be able to punch out and go for the green on regulation with a mid iron still. But this ball vanished. 7 and 11 no excuse. I mi**** two irons and deserved to lose those balls. And 4 putt on 9 was a killer. A three putt would have been understandable, it was probably a 60 foot putt to begin with. But I snatched at my second putt and hit it about 6 feet past the hole. Can't excuse that either.

davegilly

36pts off 19

Haven't gotten more than 35 points since July last year. Game is gone to ****. Playing this evening and will par 5 or 6 holes and will scratch 1 or two at most hopefully. Have never played a round without a scratch so will be happy with that. In all likelihood my driving will be fine for the first 9 or 10 holes and then fall apart. I plan on making a complete mess of the short 17th, maybe driving OB or into the bunker, not sure which yet but should if all goes to plan, be one of my scratches.

Then, with the head dropped and all cares shrugged away I should par or better the last as usual to put a smile back on my face and wonder..................what if

finglashoop

Off 16

17/18

2 pars on the front 9
5 bogeys

Hit a 7 iron into the first that carried about 140 and rolled and rolled thru green and down hill off the back - 221 yards in total. Couldnt believe it

Doubled 8 and 9 after being held up and just losing momentum.

Got going again for 3 pars 5 bogeys coming back.

Another delay and i took a 9 on the on the par 5 16th.

Used shot scope v2 for the first time and the difference with not having to use hole 19 app for shot tracking and distance was noticable, to me anyway.

Kiith

37 points off 17 today.

Went out without my driver (for obvious reasons) and my woods, as i really need to work on my irons. Actually started hitting the ball really well by reigning in my backswing to around 75% of normal, and didn't really lose any distance which may have been the humidity. Fell away in the back 9, with a scratch and 2 double bogeys, but overall quite good. Really excited to see what i can do once i get my driver back and hopefully keep hitting my irons well.

Rippeditup

First time feeling like it was coming together last night, played 13 holes in Stackstown and was +1 with 2 silly bogies on par 3's from sloppy pitches...

Was so happy with my driving, wedge game and putting... Still only getting back playing after a long long break but was nice in the rain to feel so comfortable again and scoring as the last few rounds my short game killed me with blades and fat pitches so total lack of confidence

pakman

34 points yesterday evening off 16. 3 scratches in there from wild tee shots but irons were really good so managed to still score. My driver is killing me

Trying to fix it during the round and going from slices to hooks. Might need to go to the range at some point if this keeps up.

29 points, a battle between 2 points or scratches. At least it stayed dry

18/23
Had an average front nine, scratched the first putting my second shot OB and missed a 6 footer for the 1point.

Back nine was probably my best back nine, was -1 going up the last, 80 yards left and thinned my wedged though the back of the green ended with a bogey and level for the back nine.

Very happy with how I played bit the OB second shot and the thinned wedge on the last stick with me more than the good out of the round.

Have started tracking scores using Golfshot too so have attached the score card.

rickis tache

32 off 13. Copy and paste again. Started with par bogey par for 8 points. Good feelings then scratched the next 3 holes. 7 more points brought the front 9 to a finish.
Back 9 started with bogey then 2 good pars on 2 tough holes. Bogeys all the way home.
Tough weather conditions for last few holes.
Just gotta stop those holes with scratches.

willabur

Conditions were tough tonight, really really tough

Didn't track score but was playing matchplay vs a considerably better player. Had my ass well and truly handed to me 4 and 3. That said my short game was better than ever. Lipped out 3 long range putts which would have made it interesting but when your up against someone who is parring every hole you've no chance

blue note

23 points on 18 holes off 14. Didn't feel I played as bad as the score, but some terrible shots out of nowhere in he middle of it and so many wasted scoring chances.

Chipping was a problem all day. I was beside the second green in two, his chance of an up and down par. Boned it, didn't get up and down for the bogey, no points.

3rd hole I might have had a fresh air hacking out of the rough. Then successfully hacked out to leave myself 170m to the flag. Nailed the six iron, almost got the bogey, but ended with a double for a point.

Conventional pars on 4 and 5. Close for he bird on 4. Mad slice on a three quarter wedge on 6 in the tee. Replayed the tee shot and was very close for the bogey, but ended with a double.

Perfect tee shot on 7, but landed in a divot. Came up just short of the green with my second but ran back down to the gully in front of the green. Flag on the bottom tier and my chip ran to the top tier. Ended up three putting for a six.

Perfect tee shot on 8. Shank a wedge into the rough for my second. Took two to hack out. Ended up holing a decent putt for another double. Then a mad slice on par 3 9th. Hacked out of rough and flew into the greenside lake. Ended with a triple.

Tee shot just short of green on 10. Terrible chip, did well to two putt for a bogey.

Drove par 4 green on 11. Three putt from 20 feet for a pat.

Driver, 8i to greenside bunker on par 5 12. Took two to get out, chip on, 2 putt. Double for no points.

Just came up short on par 3 13th. Chip on and three putt for a double.

Par 4 14th I thought I was middle of the green with my second. Must have been long, no sign of it. Scratch.

Greenside on par 4 15th. Chip and a three putt for another double.

Good par on index two 16 into the wind.

Good bogey on par 3 17. Very unlucky to roll back off the green with my tee shot.

And a good double bogey (3 off the tee) on the 18th.

Shocking score as always, but my play isn't all that bad.

Danny dyers double

Played Moyvally on Friday evening as a members guest. Early March since my last round. But have put in alot of time into practice especially chipping. And for the last 2 weeks iv been trying the stack and tilt golf swing.

Had been marking of 22 with the society I'm in but with all the practice of late I said I'd count my next 3 rounds in strokes and see where I'm at.

102 on the night but by far the best round iv played. Started par, par, db, db, par.
The 2 doubles where caused from hitting my second shots too long. I was literally hitting every iron 20 yards or so longer.
Holes 7,8and 9 done damage to the card.
If you know Moyvally you will agree its very easy to lose a ball if you are not on the fairways. The rough was cut right down but its that sort of fluffy hey that if you don't know exactly where you went in you won't find it.
2 shot penalty on 7
1 shot penalty on 8
4 shot on 9 ( terrible drive that I couldn't find and had to drop in rough. Hit 8i quite decent towards green but must of got landed in rough along the left side. Lost ball)
2 shot penalty on 12
2 shot on 15 ( we all seen the drive land on edge of fairway. Lost ball)
1 shot on 18

Lots of positives to take forward. Chipping which was by far my biggest weakness has greatly improved. Now I did hit 2 terrible ones but I'll take that all day from where I was.
Irons this was the gamechanger for me. Was flushing them all night, as I said previously I was hitting them further then I ever have.
Only negative was on 18 for my second shot I took out the pw to lay up. Full of confidence at this stage, I literally shank it 30 yards to the right into the rough. Quickly brought down to earth again.
Woods and hybrids I hit well bar one 3hy I hooked into rough from a decent position.
Putting a few 3 putts but also had 2 decent long enough ones drop in.
Driver this was the only negative on the night. I have read alot struggle with driving using stack and tilt. It started great, first 2 where bombs, straight and long. 4rd hole not bad but abit over drawn. 6th hole is trouble all the way down the right. I went right, found the ball but had to drop. 7th pushed it right but was still in play.
8th massive hook straight out of play. Playing 3 off the tee and I knock that down about 30 yards. 9th another massive hook left towards the path to clubhouse. Lost ball.
So I reverted back to previous swing for just driving on back nine. Lost 2 drives I taught I'd easily find on edge of fairways on 12 and 15.

So more time with the driver on the range during the week.

slingerz

I’m consistent with my scores. Between 80 and 84 for the last 12 rounds.

Started well today with just a double and a bogey on the front 9. A run of 4 holes from 11 to 14 ruined my score to finish with an 82 off 9 so 34 points.

Wind was tough and feel the game is there just haven’t been able to put it all together and avoid the disasters.

One of the biggest club comps is scheduled for the first weekend back so target is to qualify for that

28 points off 16 today. Some good golf in the middle but I find I'm starting poorly every round since returning. Maybe no warming up. Getting 2 points off first 3 leaving me with uphill battle from the off.
Found I tired on the way home and scratched last 2.

36 points off 24.
4 Pars, 8 bogies, 3 dbl bogies and the other 3 scratches...par 3, on in 1 and proceed to 5 putt (after a run of of 12 holes of 1 or 2 putts). But overall happy, if could figure out driver would be flying.

21 points off 18. Putting in some practice on clubs (3 wood and 60 degree wedge) I generally shy away from when playing more serious golf as I have no confidence using them. Need to get a better feel for them on the course.
