I'live in the north country so its months till golf season. I'm jealous, I need a new Driver. I'm getting my putter worked on next week. I also need a wedge that's in between my pw and 56 Cleveland as there is a nasty distance whole there because of my clubs. I have one of my live lucky hats on regularly.

restrictions easing in nevada so courses are opening. played today.
haven't played for over 2 months. i went 40 front 40 back for 80. 2 birdies including a hole-out from about 40 yards out on a par 4 after a fat approach.
super happy with my round.

Alright im finally up and running this year.. putter is in the shop and hit a bucket. Short irons were the money line and that's what im looking for. Driver was a little bi polar. I'm diving in hard this year.

Im out Sunday. but back at the range.. 12mph steady tail and was not even seeing them land just blasted both strait and controlled hook. Short irons were not as magical.

I just obtained a range finder. My Dad gave it to me today as he found it on public hunting land and a dear hunter must have dropped it. I'm going to use it to try and really dial in my club ranges. Its a Leupold RX-600

^ nice.
i use a gps app which gets me within about 5 yards which is good enough given my distance control
played a tourney today. opened with 4 straight pars including the #2 index hole. if i start well i usually play well, and vice versa.
shot 41 front, 44 back for an 85. 4 doubles though
that was good enough for second place net and an $85 cash. i added $25 for closest to the pin on one of the par 3s so a good day.

i played in a qualifier - in sacramento yesterday - for the 27th NCGA Net Amateur Championship
it was a course i've played only once before, many years ago. i had a terrible start - on the 1st tee with everybody watching i chunked it left for about 120 yards on the opening par 5. but i got it together and shot 42 (6 over) on the front.
back nine, i was cruising along about the same then hit a terrible approach on the par 5 11th. there's a grove of trees right in the middle of the fairway about 75 yards out and i went right into it. ball just dropped. i punched out with my rescue and landed about 25 yards short of the green. chipped in to save par
i had a bad finish on the last 3 holes - double bogey, bogey, bogey. finished the back nine in 44 for an 86.
but i made it in - i qualified! so now i get to go to beautiful poppy hills golf club in pebble beach in october for the 2-day championship tournament! i have never played there and can not wait.
