Total opposite of Mars. Dry, shaggy, slow. Played on Saturday with eye, had a great time but putting was horrible. I've never had that many three putts in my life. Figures, I made a comment about liking my putter and doing well with it, then blargh. Love the course at Mars but the greens just weren't in good shape yet. Opening day, dry winter, to be expected to an extent.

And we saw a bear with 3 Cubs driving back :thumbu:

Bridges has a par 5 with a sharp dogleg that i hate, 7 iron off the tee and then 3 wood can't get you anywhere close to the hole , stupid. :mad:​

They’ve changed that hole dramatically over the years, cleared out a bunch of brush on the left side, so at least there is some risk/reward now. You’re right though, when they first opened it was the goofiest hole in golf. Who the f*** hits a 7 iron off the tee on a par 5!!

Its driver or bust now on that hole for me!

Finally bit the bullet and went and played a full round of 18... last year I played a number of 9's but no full rounds... mostly practice...

First real round of golf in 18 years...

Was able to get My work/calls done in the morning and over lunch... then headed to Carman Golf Club...

The course was empty... the sun was shining... NW wind in the face to start 8 deg C...

On the first hole I pull draw'ed a 3 wood... ended up on the dry pond edge 120 yards out...into the teeth of the wind... selected an 8...

Next shot went right over the pin to the back just of the green... slippery down hill back, downhill lie... hit it too high up and it squibed... 20 feet to the opposite edge of the green...

3 putted to get in hole... Plus 2 after one... the next I was a bogey so now... 3 over after 2... then bogey bogey and now 5 over overall... I hit really nice shots mostly...

Then I went birdie and 4 pars in a row to finish the front nine 39 strokes... hit irons, 3 wood very well... putted excellent... had 3 legitimate birdie oppurtunities...

The back nine I hit mostly good shots overall, just missed marginally in ways on many holes... 4 bogeys and a double bogey... 41 strokes...

That's an 80 folks... unreal...

I hit only 7 of 15 greens in regulation... but I hit a lot of solid shots... somehow managed to pitch/chip decently and putting very well... only one 3 putt...

Pulled out the driver only 4 times... Hit one amazing drive, one so so... a block and a pull hook... hadn't really practiced with the driver this year ... so happy...

Hit the 3 wood amazing... 6 to SW pretty decent... 1 to 5 not very good... very happy with putting...

17,000 steps... I have a Garmin Approach watch... keeps all these stats, yardage, scorecard, wind, and after 7 rounds - club selection... sped up the round a lot with yardages and green depth front to back...

Something to build on...

It's been an amazing journey back to golf... 18 years ago almost died from the onset of diabetes... it took years to get enough health to perform at a high level in My work... just 2 years ago normal A1C and a return to muscle strength, good bodyweight and regular exercise... got a Social Membership at Southwood last year... practiced like hell and endured the pain of finding golf muscles... a feeling of constant ache and pain for mostly 2 months... then My body started to recover... and I enjoyed the balance of last summer enjoying practice without pain... golfed a few 9's and shot in mid-45 average.

Over the winter took lessons at Golftec... the early good weather this spring gave Me a month head start practicing what I learned at Golftec...

My goal yesterday was to break 90...

I shot 80 on a beautiful sunny day...

You maniacs are trying to hit drivers off the deck?

On the topic of driver, I'm pretty sure my Cobra F9 has started to develop a crack in the club face. I've had it for less than a year, and it's been sitting in my bag in the apartment for well over 6 months of that time, so I'm not thrilled. Contacted both the online retailer I got it from and Cobra Golf about it today. We'll see what they say.

If you need to buy a new driver i love my new Titleist Tsi200 driver. Used to have the Taylormade M1 and this driver kicks ass, so far anyway. :laugh:

So you finally got your new Titleist's.... ?

My Taylor Made Diamond face wedge came back from the factory in under 2 weeks...

Still waiting on the Mizuno irons and hybrid... probably won't arrive until late May to early June....

It’s not all that’s it’s cracked up to be? :sarcasm:
That’s a defect a reputable company would take care of one would think,
Good luck

Good luck, if they don’t help you out with that, it would effect whether I did business with Cobra or that retailer. Who was the retailer btw?

Is that the hole with a birdhouse on it?

You sure you’re not thinking Kingswood? They have one of the top ranked dumbest holes in golf on the front nine, which happens to have a birdhouse up on a tree, that is supposed to be of some help o_O.

Saw the invoice yesterday that the irons have been shipped and should have them tomorrow or Saturday. :nod: It's the Titleist T200's and 2 Volkey wedges , all black. The 3 wood is going to be closer to the end of the month. I've been using the pro's clubs which are blades so who knows how i'll hit mine when i get them. :laugh:
