Are you any better than I am at golf? My slice from hell is so bad I aim at a roughly 45 degree angle to make up for it. It usually works, but sometimes the ball ends up in someone else's fairway

check your grip, swing plane and position of the ball

last few years Ive held a 6-8 handicap playing once every week-2 weeks

my goal this year is to get it down to a 2-3

[BPP]

interviewed today..went pretty well

its down to me and 2 others for the assistant pro spot



its 45 degrees, with like 30mph winds and a 27 windchill right now...and im tryin to find a course thatll let me play :D british open conditions to test my new knockdown shots and stinger shots 4tw

Nice goal to have. Are you getting more time to play this year (or going to have more time to play)?

[BPP]

found one :D

golf time...bbl!

[BPP]

Nice goal to have. Are you getting more time to play this year (or going to have more time to play)?

yeah definately

if i get this assist. pro spot, he said i could play daily after my shift, as the golfers love playing with the staff(plus its free for me lol)

im seriously gonna try and at the very least practice(range, putting green, etc) if not play a minimum of 5 days a week, if not 6 or 7 weather permittiung


gonan go play 18 in the 40mph gusts...later :D

[JIGSAW]

found one :D

golf time...bbl!

Youz a junkie son :)

[BPP]

so that hurt lol

my good shoes were at my dads house, so wore a backup pair..tore both my achilles up from a harsh edge

lost a callous/blister on my right thumb on 16, that was annoying the last few lol

overall, played like it was my first time out this year(which it was)

greens havent been cut really, so didnt practice any and didnt take too much time with them(dont wanna get used to that slow of greens).

first hole...nice powerfade with the driver, 75 yard stinger SW to 15 feet, easy 2 putt par. rest of the day was up and down...id make par one hole, then try a new shot and make double the next lol

got stuck playing with an old guy i caught from 3 on, so that was odd

winds were ridiculous x 10....it knocked me off balance a few times it was gusting so hard. didnt bother hittin any warmup balls or stretching, just went, so my front 9 wasnt that great lol

shot 47 :eek: on the front, 39 on the back...a ho-hum 86 on the day

4/14 fairways hit(many more just missed), only 3 greens in regulation(1 under regulation...driver, 8 iron, 3 putt par on a par 5...ouch), and 37 putts rofl...

my average last year was more like 10/14 fairways, 7 greens, and 27 putts

so, score sucked, but had some REAL good shots, executed some new things well, and had fun. for first time out in 6+ months, not bad. couldve easily been a low 80s/high 70s round with better greens and a warmup beforehand

this is not a score to expect to see again this year, so dont worry about that :D

[JIGSAW]

[BPP]

:eek: :eek: you can do better that that ^^ Get back out there and fix that 86, and don't blame the weather :)

yeah, its embarassing to pos that score :/

mostly my fault too...was trying the new things I had learned, but didnt buy into some 100%....when i did, it worked...when i doubted, i hit alot of fat shots yesterday with the wet grass. good greens though, the birdie putt at 1 and eagle putt at 14 were both makeable. coulda been a good day :)

gonna play again(weather permitting) tomorrow

today's 53 and sunny, but i havent slept yet thanks to this paper im writing, then i have class tonight and work after...so i gotta get some sleep :(

tomorrows 43 with chance of rain. friday 39 and cloudy.

then saturday i work a double, sunday work afternoons, monday got cubs home opener tickets.

tuesday will be 48 and "few showers", wed 50 and sunny...so prolly next round after tomorrow/friday is tue/wed

weekend ill prolly hit balls @ indoor range again tho

[PowerBuilder08]

If you get this asst. pro spot, is that going to be your "main" job or is it just going to be a part time job?

well, that can get quite difficult and complicated, but generally

Par 4/5:
1st shot - driver
next shot - fairway wood(3w, 5w, 7w, etc) or iron
chip - wedge
putt- putter

alot is gonna depend on generally how far you can hit a certain club too, especially from the fairway and on par 3's

4/5

played an exhibition with the mens club at my new course...first round there in like 3 years. needless to say, it didnt go overly well not knowing distances, where water was, etc

course rating: 74.3
slope: 137

43-42: 85
3 fairways(lol)\
3 greens in reg(LOL)
28 putts
1 birdie

notes:
-had some good holes and a few big ones
-bought a new putter last night, a Nike ignite. putted very well with it!
-its a links style course...need to learn to play out of tall heather grass, and links in the wind.
-if i knew the course better, wouldve been a much better round

[BPP]

4/5: round 2

9 holes at another new course, havent played it since a high school meet

shorter course, but lots of trees, and emphasis on shot placement

40
3 fairways
1 green :(
13 putts

notes:
-had to walk with a pull-cart...didnt eat between rounds...was spent by the end(yes dehydrated majorly)(yes forgot to take water)
-struck the ball pretty well, but kept missing the greens and having to rally for par....greens havent been touched here yet, so the ball rolled real ****tily, and it was hard to get anythint to fall with all the bumps

course rating: 69
slope: 121

BPP, I'm sorry that I keep pestering your serious log with some pretty immature comments, but this is just too funny.

[jman14]

meh, it's always hard, as you know, when you aren't at least pretty familiar with the courses. play them a few more times and i could see you shaving at least 5 off.

[BPP]

4/8

putting practice x 30 minutes

went out to play, got in 4.5 holes with a 2-handicap and 5-handicap member before a storm rolled in and we had to quit

1 - fairway, green in reg, 1 putt birdie from 12 feet
2 - 2 putt bogey from 20 feet
3 - 1 putt par from 10 feet
4 - fairway, 2 putt bogey from 10 feet(lipped out)
5 - fairway ~90 yards out when we stopped

so +1 through 4 holes. I was beating them both too :(

4/8

putting practice x 30 minutes

went out to play, got in 4.5 holes with a 2-handicap and 5-handicap member before a storm rolled in and we had to quit

1 - fairway, green in reg, 1 putt birdie from 12 feet
2 - 2 putt bogey from 20 feet
3 - 1 putt par from 10 feet
4 - fairway, 2 putt bogey from 10 feet(lipped out)
5 - fairway ~90 yards out when we stopped

so +1 through 4 holes. I was beating them both too :(

yep

started out with the 3 footers, 1 ball on all 4 sides of the cup...gradually moved back to 5, 7, 8,10, 12, 15, 20

then moved to a new hole and did the same thing. 1 ball, ead and putted as if a real putt

4/9

putting practice: 20 minutes

then played 18 at my course

40-39: 79
8/14 fairways
7 greens in reg
29 putts

4 drives over 290(not bad for 50 degrees and a wet course with 0 roll)

had a GREAT stretch to end the front/start the back. holes 7 through 13 I went:
birdie
par
par
par
bogey
birdie
par


still a bit inconsistent. on 3 holes i pull-hooked drives into water hazards trying to over-hit it...so this 79 could have been alot lower. I did drain 4 par or birdie putts over 20 feet though :) including a 30 footer for birdie, and a 25 foot downhill putt to save par.

solid round, happy with it for now..kinks in the swing stil lgettin worked out, once I get everything readjusted(distances, shot selections, get these new shots down, etc) i'll be very solid

[JIGSAW]

Only 4 drives over 290??? Hmmm, I gotta a guy I know, his name is Jose , I think he played baseball or some crap back in the 80's in Oakland...anyway......he has this cream that he swears by, you'll be outdriving Jason Zuback in a week :D:D:D

real course drives = shorter than long drive contest ;)

especially when its 50 and the ball doesnt want to compress as much, and plugs in the fairway when it lands lol

then today we had 20-30mph sustained and 40-50mph gusts....yeah, it was interesting

wind game was so-so...but had alot of blind shots, and no guide on where to hit them....so 'perfect' shots ended up in the water...in the woods...behind a tree....etc

no birdies
2 pars
5 bogeys
2 double bogeys(water + lost ball)

45 :(

i played better than a 45 too...putts were decent(greens arent good yet here), chips were solid...had 3 drives over 300(2 ended up behind random trees)...etc

I busted my ass for 2 days b/c today is gonna be 65 and sunny here! i wanted to GOLF before class

not only do I wake up from a sore throat(thanks to being in the high wind yesterday for awhile starting that league off), but my wife locked her keys in her car. and her spare keys are at her parents house. so she took MY CAR to a meeting in chicago.

:D

yeh...biceps/back were still a bit sore from other day...and with my knee, i was afraid to do a full legs workout

for unaware: been having left knee pain. athletic trainer friend says its the cartilage behind the kneecap. so yes, left knee cartilage pain = another similarity with tiger woods ;)

Is chipping when you try to get the ball close enough to the hole for a easy put?

(yes unaware at golf)

[BPP]

yeah..i use the term interchangeably with pitching for simplicity's sake

but it's when your <50 yards from the green, but not ON the green

[BPP]

4/23:

driving range x ~60 balls

worked exlusively with iron accuracy and stinger(wind game) shots, very good session

putting practice x 10 min

was draining EVERYTHING so cut it short to savor....even putting across the green with 60 footers, never left anything over 6 feet on a 2nd putt....and made all but 2 of those, with the 2 i missed lipping out

[Surive123]

In for next workout.

4/24

driving range x 100 balls

worked alot with long irons, punch shots and stinger shots....very good iron session again

putting x 10 minutes

once again was on FIRE! drained 5 or 6 over 30 feet(1 ball), made all but 1 within 6 feet....quit after 10minutes bc it went so well again!

[BPP]

Clearly :eek:

it wasnt THAT bad :D

[Dedicatedforlife]

Nah its actually a decent round...just the DB kills the score ;)

well like the one par 3...hung my tee shot right, and ended up behind a thick wooded area that jets out. my only choice was to take a drop, or punch it backwards 30 yards and leave myself 50 yards out in the fairway lol

so that kinda hurt

eek hate those...gotta bring a chainsaw with you next time ;)

[BPP]

eek hate those...gotta bring a chainsaw with you next time ;)

usually i hit the ball so high I can flop it over...but the trees were so grown over THAT wasnt even an option :(

thats exactly why ive been working on irons so much..my weakpoint is my iron accuracy...if i can get my greens in regulation up and not have to rely on my very good short game so much, my scores would drop quickly

i was about ready to try titleist's new ap1 forged irons, but now im starting to hit these so well :eek: i think im gonna stick with my callaways through my first playing test and see how I do, and go from there

Nice :D


Anyways pardon me but how do db box squats train grip?? Was it held beside the shoulders?

[BPP]

Nice :D

held them at arms length on the sides of the bench. so i was holding the weight after picking it up from the rack, walking to the bench, during the squats, and the the walk back

kinda like farmers walk-ish, but with lighter weight and more endurance based

[BPP]

switched my irons over with my dad, played the back 9 with a few year old titleist blades, and theyre MUCH nicer than my callaways

18 holes: 81
6 fairways
5 greens
28 putts

weather:
60 degrees, 20-30mph winds :eek:

front 9: 44
4/7 fairways, 2 greens in reg, 15 putts
worked on some things, and got going at the end. what hurt was both par 5's were DEAD into the wind...and when theyre 510 and 550 to begin with lol, it makes for a long hole..also had 4 penalty strokes as I started double bogey, bogey, par, triple bogey lol

then made par on 11 of the next 14 holes, including 8 in a row

back 9: 37
2/7 fairways, 3 greesn in reg, 13 putts
hit the ball alot better....in reality it was 5/7 fairways, but with the wind it kept carrying 1-2 feet into the first cut. irons were MUCH better, and putting got hot. this 37 without the wind could've easily been a 34 or 35, as the wind cost me a few


overall played quite well, and on a day with good conditions and playing with the titleists like I did the back 9, I couldve shot low 70's today

[Surive123]

Good job with the workout :cool:

[PowerBuilder08]

37 on the back nine, very nice bro, especially with that wind beating on ya

Great to hear!!!


:D :p

[BPP]

thanks...hit some GREAT shots on the back, butthe wind was so strong it was even effecting putts lol

like I said, on an average day, I really think I would've been a few under on the back, and prolly around even par on the day

not bad for the course playing 6800 yards today :D

Wow, it screwed with your putts?! That's crazy :eek:

I think I'd be happy to break 50 with that kind of wind...hell, I would be happy to break a solid 55 with that wind and course length. Sounds like your game's kicking all sorts of ass when you're on

I bet chipping was complete and total hell :D

chipping is my specialty...used the wind to my advantage....into the wind threw flop shots right to the hole and spun them back...with the wind played low runners, or flopped it into the hill to kill it

:D

Ok that sounds ridiculous :eek:

Scary enough tho lol

[BPP]

4/30

played 9 holes

37
3 fairways
2 greens
15 putts

played a terrible goat ranch of a course...greens were atrocious, fairways looked the same as the rought, etc. no biggie, was teaching a new golfer during the round, so w/e....37 wasnt bad for the effort put into it


5/1

played 9 holes

36
4 fairways(last 4)
3 greens in regulation(3 of last 4)
13 putts


on the last par 3, a 135 yarder uphill, I hit a 3/4 9-iron to within 3 feet....just absolutely stuck it, 1 hop and a stop

if it didnt stop it was right on line for the hole too :( lol

good day...started with 2 straight bogeys but bounced back at the end

[BPP]

5/3

front 9: 41 (4 fairways, 3 greens, 16 putts)
back 9: 37 (4 fairwasy, 5 greens, 15 putts)
79

not bad...it was drizzly and 20-30mph winds all day...played very well, struck the ball beautifully, just didn't score...putts wouldn't fall today

[Dedicatedforlife]

-between every dif. exercise, raised the treadmill's speed by 0.1mph
-knee felt pretty good today, even golfing
-1-leg sldl holding dbs in front of you(other foot behind you off ground for balance) are hard!
-did alot of balancing/1-leg type stuff for golf purposes
-DB russian twists(holding 1 DB in front of you) are freaking HARD compared to holding a plate
-done at the apartment's gym, largest DB = 50lbs

LoL, probably took you longer to type that post than the actual workout :p

:D

nah, that only took prolly 3 min

i just copy/pasted the treadmill time over and over, that way it was less to type :D

[benjamin0]

That has got to be one of the weirdest workouts I have ever seen :D congrats

[BPP]

Clearly :eek:

think my swing issues are much better

switching irons helped ALOT....going to a blade instead of an off-set cavity back basically eliminated any hooks with my irons....if I missed a green today, it was b/c the winds were 20-30mph and im still learning my distances with these clubs, esp. on touchy wind shots

driver was on today...of the 6 fairways I missed, 3 either were within 5 feet of the fiarway in the first cut(ran through sideways bc of wind), 1 was through the fairway long, and 2 were overly cut while trying to power fade the ball

on a 380 yard par 4, downwind...drove the ball 30 yards from the green :D

[BPP]

That has got to be one of the weirdest workouts I have ever seen :D congrats

ive wanted to do this for awhile this way, its just hard unless you have a gym to yourself. instead of sitting around between sets, I hopped back on the treadmil...it let the muscle being used rest while keeping the heartrate up and getting the cardio out of the way in small chunks versus 1 long boring session

I am deciding on doing this, however, with jump rope. Many have given me the idea and with the upcoming football season underway, I think it would be a good time to start it up.
