You'll probably shoot 37.

With this week of hot sunny weather I decided to make hay and catch up on rounds lost due to all the rain we had this summer. Have rounds booked for everyday this week and including the long weekend. Currently have 53 rounds played this summer.

Nice, I'm sitting at 42 - a handful of those are just 9 holes though.

Hopefully can get to 50 this year. That'd be swell.

I’ve cut back this year, but I can’t believe that I’m ahead of Dion! I don’t think my lead will hold though. You have to get out early now, and some of us have work to do!

Tilley Hats are a godsend on the golf course. As a retiree who likes to walk the course it did a very effective job of keeping the sun off my head, side of my face and neck. Walking the course wearing a golf cap would have killed me today with the buzzards picking my bones clean.

Just back from the annual golf tournament with my dad's friends. This year was North/South Carolina at the Cliffs' courses. Best 4 of 6 rounds, came in 4th of 8 with my high handicap. Shooting between 101 and 119 (averaged 103.5).

Good news: learned what rotating and coiling is finally. Always swung with arms. Irons were flying the green and getting me some great opportunities.

Bad news: it was very, very easy to shoot 3-5 shots from within 30 yards of the hole. Need to learn how to chip properly out of fairway, rough, and sand. 3-Putting happens far too often too. Need to learn how to read or feel breaks on the green (putter is not very balanced so it doesn't hang very straight).

42-41-83 to match my low round of the year! Shot 83 a few times now

Just bought a 7 wood to replace a 4 hybrid I hated.

It’s insane how high it hits the ball. Super easy to hit too.

Highly recommend

Which did you get? That’s my next purchase.

Taylormade Qi35. Tried about 5 different ones.

It’s a weapon.

My putting has gone to hell. I keep burning the edge of the cup on short putts.

Try getting a putting matt. Helped me a ton on shorter putts

I'll bet you $20 you are moving your head.

Game is finally feeling good for the season.
Shot 74 on 16 holes Wednesday evening (before losing light), followed by 85 Thursday morning while using a demo putter just to test it and definitely cost me 3-4 strokes.

Came into the season shooting 82-86 consistently in the Fall/Winter and basically spent all Spring/Summer trying to get back there.
Thought I'd break 80 this Summer but actually regressed until this week. Golf progress is never a straight line.

Good point. I tried keeping my head still this morning and the problem disappeared.

One of guys I golf with from time to time, Rob Randle, got a hole in one on #13 at my course in Nanton.
