Shot an 89 today. I'm on cloud 9.

18 holes, that's really good.  What was par?

[SixFeetDeep]

It was a par 72. I think my low before yesterday was a 94.

Also shot my low of 43 on the front. Had 3 pars and a birdie. It was really just a perfect storm for me. I didn't hit my driver particularly well, pushed everything to the right, but I had a bunch of nice recovery shots. My irons came to play and I was landing my chips pretty close to the pin.

Nice man. Still have yet to break 100. My putting has been on fire though. I'm averaging a little over 2 puts a hole.

My beat 9 hole score was a 53. Best 18 hole round was 113. Chipping has been a huge problem.

Putting is usually the toughest thing to master, so that's pretty solid that you have it down. I'll take a 2 putt every time unless the 1st one is less than 10 feet away or so.

My chipping is finally starting to come around. what kind of wedges do you have? that's part of the key is having different clubs you're comfortable with in different situations. I usually hit my pitching wedge from 100+ yards out, Approach wedge anything less than that, an my lob wedge when I'm next to the green. And sand wedge out of the sand obviously.  I used to always skull the ball and hit line drives when trying to hit a little finesse chip onto the green. Make sure you don't break your wrists, take a backswing appropriate to how far away you are, trust your club selection, and follow through. If you hesitate during your downswing or try and check up because you don't want to kill the ball, it's tough to get the ball up in the air.

another tip someone gave me is to visualize taking an underhand toss of the golf ball towards the green in order for it to roll to the pin and picture the trajectory you want.

Use the same stroke you would use as if you were putting the ball when you are chipping.  Exactly the same stroke, and your chipping will become much more efficient.

All great advice. Thanks guys. Can't wait to try it out this weekend.

woke up today really wanting to play golf. played just about every Saturday for a 2 month stretch last summer.  Too bad it's freezing cold and raining here

My best is a laughable 106.
I was playing a decent amount with some crappy clubs and then I got some new ones for Christmas 3 years ago, hybrid irons, driver, etc, and then my daughter was born and I've played like 4 times since. I love those hybrids.

I played all summer long and took a bunch of lessons and still haven't broke 100. Best was a 112 I think.

I played on vacation with my brother in law (who regularly shoots in the 70s) and my buddy (who shoots in the 80s) and thank god we were playing in the middle of nowhere Maryland on a weekday, or I would have felt bad, haha.

[Pope]

Haven't played since September. I usually shoot high 80s to low 90s

The last round I played was the ocean course at Olympic with my step dad and uncle...shot a 197.

Me and Sir Charles,  baybay.
