Played a nice round with my son at a great public course in central MD. A day with my son is priceless, golf is secondary. We enjoyed ourselves, he played better than me as usual. I dropped a couple of strokes from my last 18-hole round.
As always I had a number of good drives and a couple of good iron shots, including a 3-foot putt after a 150-yd approach shot onto the green for a birdie. Rare occasion for me! Putting was average for me. Course condition overall was good; recent rains created some wet spots. Weather was warm with high humidity, typical for the mid-Atlantic in late summer. p.s. I cleaned my club after every shot! |

Do any of you track yardages with software? Over the past five rounds, I'm trying to slow my swing down to gain accuracy (since my HDCP jumped 2 points this year). Also thinking that now that I'm in my 50's, I should be more consistent opposed to trying to keep up with the boys.
My yardage is starting to come into where I want to see them. Typically, 5 iron has been a 205 club for me...really would like to see this as a 195avg. Even brought my drive down to a 250avg...has been sitting at 260+, but now I seem to be hitting more fairways. Anyway, I track with Garmin. Any of you use software to track? Where you at (and yes, I carry 5 wedges)...

Seems you and I are hitting the ball a similar distance. I get my results using a laser to get distances to pins and selecting clubs based on that. You might be a tad longer but then I am celebrating 70 in a few months. I am curious about the max number of 480 yards with driver. WHAT!!!! |

Love to say that I drove the green on an uphill par 5 and putted for an albatross (then eagle, then birdie, then putted for par). But most likely, there was a round in there that didn't catch my 2nd shot. I don't look at these often, so I could get 5+ rounds in before seeing a mistake like this. I believe my actual longest is ~330 with a solid downhill and some run. I'll hit over 300 once every couple rounds.

Playing a new course here in Cincinnati, OH next Saturday (9/21) in an area that I am trying to convince the wifey for us to move to!
Looking forward to getting back out on the course after being away for a month or so.

We are similar in distance except driver and 3 wood. I am for some reason losing distance there but not the other clubs. I'm guessing my driver is about 245 and 3 wood 230. On the other hand I hit more fairways than you are measuring so maybe it's a reduced effort to improve control. Whatever those are stellar numbers for 53.

Note the set of fairway woods are new so those numbers are from a small sample size, especially the 5w. |

Tee time on Saturday for 18 holes at one of the top golf resorts in the region. Likely my last round this season. Maybe a round in Florida around the holidays.

Yesterday was "thankfuckmas" here in the Phoenix area. Yes every year the date changes but it marks the first day the temperatures don't exceed 100 degrees. After 100 days of "oh shit" it is a relief.
Played today and a high of about 94 or so. Won a skin. All is well in the world. |
