golf is tough

I shot a good front 9 - 42, but tough back, 44 = 86

no wind helped but temps in the 40s didn't allow the ball to fly as far as usual

Now is that 86 from the tips or the sissy tees?

hah, the tips are 7,085 yards, I don't play them much since turning 57 a year ago.  Not so much me as the other guys in my group.

6800 yards from the tees we play.  Not for sissies.

I used to play with the Houston Amateur Golf Assoc and we played everything from the tips

while my handicap suffered when Id play with friends from the white tees I felt like I was on a chip and putt course

golf is such a mental game

The problem w tips golf becomes one of pace.  When a higher handicap player is always waiting for the green to clear before attempting to hit the green from 200+ w their rescue.   BS.

Optically, I can deal w guys waiting w a middle short iron in hand.  Not the guy who expects to pure a rescue and have it dribble onto the green from 225.  He's chunking that shot 4/5.

One of the main differences between high handicap and low handicap players is what they do when they hit the ball in trouble like the woods

a low handicap player just wants to get the ball back into the fairway and maybe only lose 1 stroke

a high handicap player is going to try and hit a career shot and make it to the green

Jack Nicklaus once said you hit a bad shot to get in there what makes you think youre gonna hit a great shot to get out

I lived by that rule and it saved my bacon many times

Shot a smooth 79 here last week.  Needed, and got, a birdie on the last hole to do it.  Play from the standard tees (6100). “ a mans got to know his limitations “ especially a 59 yr old.  

My scores really improved this year. Was usually in 86-87 range but this year more often 78-82.  Keep it in the fairway, miss the green in the right spot, and have a solid short game.

breaking 80 is always  a very good thing, especially Wannamaker 131 slope rating

that's some solid golf regardless of tees

I play the white tees once in a while with older players, probably about 6200 yards.  Usually don't score any better than playing 6800 yards or 7000 yards.

it's the strokes on and around the greens that aren't going away.

The few times I would hit a green in reg, I'd three putt, or worse.  I don't play any more.  Messes up my swing.

That's imo opinion the best part of attending a tour event.  It's pointless to follow leaders and I hate staking out a green.  I love hanging out where the misses are off the tee off the fairway.   That's where you see just how good these guys are.   They are so creative when in trouble.    Love it.

I mean, that's pretty close. And I assume you can go walk around the course, which is the second-closest one can be.
