I end up with all sorts of bad contact and I stop reading putts and just want to get the round over with.

I walk 95% of my rounds, even at my old age. For me it's great exercise. The tough part is the start of the season where my legs hurt as I'm getting to the last few holes. I found over time that disappeared as my legs got in game shape.

The only problem I have is with the heat. I walked yesterday in the +31 degree heat and my body was feeling it. I wear a Tilley hat to keep the sun off my head and it was soaked when I finished. Plus I went through 2 large bottles of iced water.

For me I definitely feel like the heat plays a big part ( and maybe the beer.) I play hockey in the winter and start riding my bike to the office before the golf season starts but when I'm walking a course in the summer heat it kills me.

43-48-91 for me at Gorge Vale in Victoria.
The back 9 just gave me nothing. Hitting the ball well but caught every bad break possible.

Our annual Mountain Tour tournament is this weekend.
Friday 2 man team match play at Olympic View.
Saturday singles match play at Cordova Bay.
Sunday 4 man scramble at Bear Mountain.

Raising money for Victoria Hospice with 64 awesome gentleman. One of my favorite weekends of the year.

Brutal quick 9 for me yesterday with a 52. Lots of greens in reg but absolutely brutal putting which has been the case for the last 1.5yrs since I got my new putter. I went with an Inesis high MOI putter and they discontinued it for the same reason I hate it, its heavy af so even though direction is really good, the weight is really difficult to control.

I played a very short course and on 3 separate par 4s I drove it within 15y of the pin and bogeyed every single one lol.

46-43 in the wind and rain today. Not bad all things considered.

Last six 9’s are 45-40-42-41-46-43. Seems like I may be figuring things out.

Paid $750USD for myself and two kids to golf here. Man I suck. Turns out you get worse by playing two rounds a year and aging and worrying your chest will split open and heart will spill out.

Had Qi10 rentals but felt like I was hitting with a shovel. I am sure I am weaker but skyed the ball far too much. Chunking it, is way better than the sky.
