I do the partners match play tournament at my club with my brother every year (net of handicaps) but this was my first time entering the singles tourney. Played my first round match and won 3&1 today. Match play is hard as **** when you don't have a partner to bail you out

Had the pleasure of being the target practice in this round with Dodint. Not sure if anyone is familiar with this course, but it has 5 or 6 sub-300 yard par 4's and the happy gilmore's behind us didn't think it necessary to wait till we cleared to impress the world with their 260 yard driving ability. The one time they pulled up the dude was like, wow, didn't think it'd get that far. They were trash.107 at Manor Valley. Not a bad little course, didn't feel as short as I thought it would be. I never really threatened 99 all day, but didn't have any big blowups either. Pars were rare.
I have never been hit into as many times on one round as this morning. Didn't bother me much but they came within 15 feet, one shot within three feet, several times. And we weren't playing slow, as a twosome pinned between two foursomes.
Shot an 88, had some definite issues controlling the speed on the greens, at least three times I hit the exact chip I intended to, twice rolled it completely off the green, and the other times way past the hole. So in the end, I had 3 doubles a and triple, I did have 7 clean holes (6 pars, 1 birdie) and 3 3-putt bogies. So 10 gir. So it felt like the game I put together yesterday was still there. I also did not hit one good driver the entire day, which I am about 99% sure was on account of playing with a broken driver, which I blame Monroeville Dicks. Backstory there being, my Dicks (waterfront) doesn't do repairs, so I had to drive out there seeking repairs on my 5-iron and Driver, the head flew off the 5-iron last week, so I've been without my lowest iron since then and the piece between the shaft and the driver head has separated on the driver. Long story short, they didn't have any shafts in stock for the iron and the guy told me the driver was fine. So i just kept playing it, On one of my last drives yesterday, I thought I felt the head move at impact, but I might have imagined it. But anyway, I hit the driver 8 times today, it went right every single time, twice OOB (double, triple), hole 15 I felt it move for sure, and switched to the 3 wood for 16-18 and hit two 250 yard ideal shots and popped-up the third (tee'd the last up too high tried to adjust, never do that). After the round made the **** drive out to golf galaxy, dude looked at and was like, the glue is dried out, your head is loose, and just twisted off, and was like "see". And, "yes" he said, "the guys at Dicks are idiots". It seems kind of intuitive that if the face is loose, the impact would push the face open and that is what I think caused all those drives to fly right.
And, most importantly, even though I was scoring terribly, the only thing that got me upset were the jags almost hitting us.

Dude that exact thing happened with my 5 iron last year. I was warming up on the range and I was hitting my 5 iron like 70 yards and it felt like the club was just twisting in my hands. Thought I totally had the yips, couldn't figure anything out. Then threw the club in the bag and the club head just slowly teetered off the shaft. Big sigh of relief knowing it wasn't my swing
Everything golf
You were killing that 3-wood though.
I never did figure out those greens, even with 40 putts today.

I haven't played manor valley in years. Are the greens decent? I remember the place being a bit of a dog patch
Everything golf
It was just weird. It was threatening rain and super humid all day, but the greens were running like glass.
Upkeep was good, though.

I give them one warning to let them apologize and let them know that I don't like it. Next time, I send their shot back to them or into the woods/water.I have never been hit into as many times on one round as this morning. Didn't bother me much but they came within 15 feet, one shot within three feet, several times. And we weren't playing slow, as a twosome pinned between two foursomes.

Like I told TL, it's a thing that SHOULD make me rage. But I just don't care for some reason.

https://sports.yahoo.com/jon-rahm-tests ... 17EPF_HyNCJon Rahm withdrew from the Olympics on Sunday after he tested positive for COVID-19, Spain’s Olympic committee announced.
This marks the second time the world’s top-ranked golfer has tested positive for the coronavirus in as many months.
Rahm will not be replaced by Spain as the golf competition is due to start Thursday. Adri Arnaus will now represent Spain alone.

Saw this random story about Bubba Watson and thought I'd share it from a while back.
Dude is a first class schmuck.
On the flipside, I love Boo Weekley. I know he has struggled with injuries/cancer but I'm really hoping he can make hay on the Champion's Tour in two years.

My Veterans Tour just booked Olde Stonewall in October for $75. That seems pretty good from what I've heard about that place.

It's usually ~$110+ IIRC

That’s about standard late season price, depending on when in October you’re scheduled for.

I'm going golfing Saturday AM with my pastor, assistant pastor, and the pastor's father. Fun group of guys, but man, I'm going to have to watch my temper

I googled Olde Stonewall. Looks like a really nice course
Everything golf
It's definitely worth the money, at least in terms of course upkeep and difficulty. I've only played it in a scramble format because I'm not really willing to dump 100+ to get eaten alive by the course. Greens run around an 11 or more on the stimp.

I would say it’s easily the best public course in the area. Gorgeous, impeccable condition, and difficult. Easily country club level.
