Happy for Shane Lowry. Would love the chance to play a major championship course setup for a major. I'm sure I'd break every club in my bag in anger, but would be fun to see just how far off I would be. I doubt I could break 120 on that course.

That is awesome! You can't have many hiccups to get that score.I'm getting hopeful to break that 80 barrier sometime this year. Got my handicap down to 11.6 today with an 85. The short game is there. Right now the 20 - 80 yard pitch shots are killing me. Just need to go to a course when it isn't busy and bounce around and just hit those shots (a lot more fun than a range). Although you gotta fix all the ball marks.
Keep up the good work! Im at a 10.2 handicap myself. Trying to get in single digits and stay there. Short game has killed me lately.
I've since given up golf too. Not sure how well I'd play now.
Anybody see Koepca complain about his playing partner and his "set up" It's worth a listen if you haven't yet!0 -

The Tour should do something about it, but the Tour is beholden to the players (makes sense) so it will never happen.

“What I don’t understand is when it’s your turn to hit, your glove is not on, then you start thinking about it, that’s where the problem lies. It’s not that he takes that long. He doesn’t do anything until his turn. That’s the frustrating part. But he’s not the only one that does it out here."
I feel like I am always stuck behind foursomes who play like this. So frustrating.www.myspace.com0 -
THere was a senior golfer interviewed by Feherty I think. Can’t recall his name. But someone told a story that when they were a rookie they were paired with him. At the end of the round the rooking said something to the effect “I hope I didn’t mess up your round with my bad shots”. THe older golfer replied, “I never looked at any of your shots.”
You can look at your playing partners shots, but damnit be ready to go when it is your turn.0 -
Was 3 over par the last 11 holes today. Too bad the first 7 holes were not pretty. Ended up with an 85. Still stoked about the finish. If I could have continued on playing those first 7 holes I have no doubt I would have broken 80. That isn't how it works though. The quest continues.

That's a good round bootlegger.
My quest will start up again tomorrow morning after a few weeks lay off. Been battling a herniated disc in my lower back the last couple months. Coincidentally it has coincided with my game slowly deteriorating. Getting an injection in a couple weeks.www.myspace.com0 -
That is really frustrating (herniated disc). Hopefully the injection fixes the probably. No fun to be playing well and have good swing thoughts and ideas, and then not be able to play or practice. I’ve had some neck issues for the first time this year that have sidelined me for about 10 days at a time. I try to do my stretching exercises every day and even have a sign on my desk at work that says “posture” to remember to sit up straight and stretch my neck. We’ll see how it works long term.0

During my round on Sunday I hit every fairway. My longest approach on a par 4 was 170 yards (playing one tee box up from the tips). I still carded an 80. Just couldn't give myself any reasonable looks on the green. The course we played has the greens rolling at about 12 on the stimp meter. There are a couple LPGA players that play out there (I'm in JAX FL) and they've asked the course why they have it rolling like that for amateurs haha.
Just one of those frustrating rounds where one thing is absolutely clicking but you can't score. If you told me I'd hit every fairway and my longest approach would be 170 yards I'd tell you I'd be right around even par.0 -
Getting old is frustrating.
Golf is frustrating. A lot of say if I could only get all my drives in play. Well, when they do, the irons go.0 -
What is the longest iron that everyone is playing? I still carry a 4 iron in the bag but I use it so rarely I’m thinking about ditching it for a 23 degree hybrid. I know guys that don’t have anything above a 6 iron in the bag. And one of them is a 2 handicap.0
-
Five iron is the lowest I have. I wish I had a 4 iron but probably right at the end of the day. My five iron distance is about 175 to 185 yds. Not a long hitter.

I'm probably in the minority. I carry a 2 iron. I don't get along with hybrids for some reason.0
