Re: What did you shoot today?
85 with my first round since September 11. I hit the ball better than expected. Putted atrociously and my short game was marginal. A few more rounds and we will see whether my game comes back a bit.

Better results today, 78. I was in my element. Cool (48 degrees), windy (10+ mph), drizzle/mist. Two birdies, no doubles. Of course, I was playing tees at 5,900 yards. The soggy turf gave me lots of long approach shots despite the short course.
My short game was not sharp. Just could not get the chip close enough to make the par putt.

43/40 83 at Windmill Lakes on Sunday. Played as a single and quite enjoyed it.

I have been mired in a bit of a slump. Nothing but 80-85 scores for a couple weeks. I went out today with limited expectations. It was very windy with steady 20 mph breezes and stronger gusts. Fortunately, the wind was helping for a couple of the opening holes and I got off to a good start. I ended the day playing the longest hole dead into the wind. Hit my 3rd shot (par 4) just over the green and botched the up and down for a double and a total of 76. Not the ending I hoped for but my overall play was very steady.
I will try to do better tomorrow.![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)

My 100th round today. Shot 79. No birdies and had to scramble to make pars. Not hitting the ball well this Autumn.
Most courses are closing this weekend or have already closed. I may get a couple more rounds in but the season is on life support.

82, playing preferred lies through the green and in sand bunkers. 32 (f) degrees with a 17-20 mph breeze made it a tad uncomfortable for the first three holes. Then I warmed up and found the stroll very pleasant.

For whatever reason today seemed better even the score was just average (81/+9/9.4) and the beneficiary of several long made putts. I think I just had a better mindset. It rained hard overnight so the course was mushy and the wind was +20 mph, so anything close to normal wasn't too bad. Plus played the last three holes by memory - it was so foggy you couldn't see the fairway from the tee or the green from the fairway. Parred all three though with some of my best shots of the day (and another long putt made on #18).

Another so so round yesterday, 80/+3/8.6 that was a prime example of my recent woes. Had a nice front nine where I was +3 despite throwing two stokes away by being too aggressive - I can't seem to understand that aggressive play doesn't work there. Then went +5 over four holes that included two wild pulls out of nowhere and two mystery irons. The first mystery iron was a 125 yard shot into the wind - the rock solid 9i should carry 135 without any wind, but mysteriously went 140 over the back of the green. A few holes later another mystery wedge went the opposite - 10+ yards short into a pond. Both holes go the same direction. Of course, I played the last 5 holes in even par. Still mystified.

Re: What did you shoot today?
At least someone is playing. We are under a winter storm warning. Barring a week of temperatures above freezing, we are done until March. ![Mad :x](./images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)
