Day off Golf

[ezra76]

Sweet, I got the day off and going to play. I'm hoping I can shoot well and break into single digits today. I am at a 10.8 cap and playing a 129 slope course. The 1st 3 par 4's are tough. If I can get through those at even I'll be in real good shape. The back has 3 par 5's, if the driver is on I'm playing for birdies. I plan on hitting the practice green for a few minutes to get my speed down. Wish me luck.

Well no cap drop today. I ended with a quad and a triple to shoot a 96, ouch. It's a tough course though so I am content with an off day on a day off.
I always seem to meet cool people at that course though. I ended up joining 2 guys, one about early 40's and the other early 70's. Let me just say I have never been so humbled distancewise before. This 70yr. old was blind in one eye and driving it 260 dead center every time. I didn't outdrive him all round. I was about even quite a few times but he was still in better position. He was giving the other guy a few tips and I had heard a woman from the group behind us mention something about another lesson to him. I believe he is pro instructor. He definitely had the mechanics down pat. He gave me a little tip on my bunker shots, follow through, he told me. So I had a bit of an off day, made a few nice pars and met some nice people. Better than working anyday.

Good luck!

I diden't know it was possible to lower your score from 10.8-9.9 with one round of golf. You'd have to shoot like..60..and that might not even be good enough.

Unless im confused.

[JEFF4i]

Well if the course is more difficult than that which he normally posts and he shoots a good round, it's possible.

[ezra76]

Yeah. It's a par 72 129slope and the one I normally play is par 71 118slope. The one I played today has nearly 700 more yards and much tougher greens. Not to mention tons of bunkers and tight fairways. I found 4 bunkers today, 2 fairway, 2 greenside. I'll be joining this course next year. I'll probably jump in cap a little for the 1st few months but when I get to singles here it will be for real.
