Shot an 80 today at FT Campbell Cole Park golf course. Was 6 over going into #18. Hit my T shot into a lateral hazard. Took a double bogey on the last hole. Still it was a good day for me. Short game was spot on. Hit 3 wedge shots from 40 to 60 yards out close enough for a gimme. Took a few bucks from my golfing buddies. They will probably take it back tomorrow.
Sounds like you had fun....makes my working at the golf coarse for free golf amazing...even though at pushing 70 I seem to sweat a bit much at times

Went to Branson for some r&r. Wife and I Played 27 holes for our 42nd anniversary.
Ozark National shot 83 and then we played top of the rock in the evening with a great meal,guitar, bagpipes, and canon fire.
ozark National is still a work in progress-but it is a very nice golf course. $200 green fee-so it won’t be an every day venue.
Johnny Morris is pouring money everywhere including down an actual sinkhole! And tearing up Murderer’s Rock to make Payne’s Valley with Tiger. Big Cedar is a nice place to stay for a few days.
on the way up we stayed at Shangri La and played 18 there on Sunday Morning. Shot 80 with bogies on last two holes. 9 one putts which is my best of late. $100 green fee now looks like a bargain.
Played yesterday again at dancing rabbit. Played horrible. Shot a 50 on the front. Didn't keep score on the back. Had fun with friends but the golf was bad. Don't think I made a single put. Have decided I don't like the new epic flash driver. Going back to my old driver.
Extreme Humidty made for a uncomfortable two day Sr. Championship tournament at the club.
Train wreck 92 for first day.
a little better today even par after a birdie at 6. 13 over from there to shoot an 85.
Drank 2 large waters and 2 gatorades. Still a little wobbly when that sun was blasting down.
I can’t wait for fall to get here!

Hot,muggy,wet after midnight thunderstorm Friday night.
83 with 2 birdies on the back on Saturday.
Really good considering the hangover I was playing with.
Today had high humidity but some high clouds to keep from totally baking.
played really well with even par on the back and 78 total.
best round of the year for me.
and best 2 weekend scores back to back as well.
Excited to play in the Club championship next weekend.
i can’t wait for fall.
My goal of breaking 80 is oh so close..shot an 81 Sunday, 43 front, 38 back. which included a penalty stroke and one other bad decision....one bad swing and one stupid decision ruined my chances of sub 80. There were times I thought breaking 80 may never happen, but I now firmly beleive it will. Ball change has also helped. I have never done a ball fitting, which I should, but I have given substantial playing time to all the top balls over the last couple years,and the Srixon Z star just performs better for me.
What we cannot obtain from intelligence, we can learn from experience.
A surprise round on Sunday. Had the driver and putter working on the front side. Had 5 birdies in a row 4-8, Almost chipped in for another on 9. Then there was the back side. Driver left me between the club house and #10. One of my better rounds in a long time. At least the front was fun

Walked 9 at 5:00 yesterday at 98 degrees.
actually not that bad but it was warm enuf but not blistering.
i do enjoy walking and playing.
i look forward to fall.
Birdied the last hole for a 42.
Some days I think I'll leave this game for good. Today was one of those days. But, it still beats staying home dusting furniture. I think!
I have several other hobbies I can do outside such as photography and shooting clays on the farm. Now that a few days have passed since I last played that awful round of golf that gave me boo boo face, I am ready to get back out on the course.
Had one of those rounds Saturday in the club championship. 93. Hated it. Couldn’t do anything right. New grips are a bit too large and affecting ball flight. I don’t know what the hell was affecting my putting.
Today was a little better. Busting the drive, chipping well-even chipped one in for a birdie. 85 but still did not putt well.
Very disappointing after shooting 78 the week before.
Shot 72 last week, 4 birdies, and four bogeys. I had an opportunity to break par. Really hitting the new Callaway Epic Flash well, hit a couple bad chips and missed a couple easy birdie puts.
shot a good ole smooth 90 saturday. hit driver ok. hit irons well. chipping has killed me since i started back playing. i know i gave away 10+ strokes because of it.
