Hey folks,
I just searched the forum and was surprised to find no "what did you shoot today?" thread!! :wow:So here it is!
Post your scores, and if you feel necessary go into detail about the good, bad, and the ugly shoots of the day. I'll start it off:
Scores: 6 5 3 5 3 6 6 4 4 (42) 5 3 5 4 6 4 5 6 6 (44) - 86
Par: 4 5 3 5 3 4 4 4 3 (35) 4 3 4 4 3 4 5 4 4 (35) - 70
Today I shot an 86. Started on the back 9 of the course I was just hired at, with a 44. Had two nasty double bogeys, and one triple bogey (with a terrible 3 putt), but after reading "Golf is Not a Game of Perfect" by Bob Rotella, I've started to avoid going into the bad streaks of my earlier days of golf. I shot a 42 on the front 9, with another 3 double bogeys (and a total of 8 beautiful pars
), to go home with a smile on my face. I am proud to say that there were NO mulligans today, and I was crushing my father's 9.5* Stiff Flex R7 off the tee - a feat that previously trampled over me. #2 (a par 5) was a special hole, as I hit my drive about 260 into the wind, and followed it with a good looking 3 hybrid just left of the green, and just barely missed the up and down for bird. #4 was my first almost birdie, missing the putt by less than an inch, leaving it short. Won't do that again! Had a streak of 4 pars on the front 9, and another 4 spread throughout the back 9 (the first 9 holes I played). I wish I had another sweater with me, as the wind was quite harsh today and I was shivering over top of some putts. A few missed opportunities for birdie, but I was happy to walk away with par. An 86 is welcome on my scorecard this time of year, and I wish to improve upon it from here on out.
How did you guys play?
