68 first round with the very pleasant company of AV and Josia. Parred the first 4 and double bogied the long par 3. Couple of eagles and a 3 birdies to fight back to 4 under for the day. Bought a driver off a friend in my society a Taylor Made R1 with about 160 possible adjustments but the shaft was too short and the wrong stiffness, I bought a new shaft for it, it's amazing how straight and long I hit it. I set it to 11 degrees loft and I managed my longest ever drive of 278 yards and 260 yards uphill on the 18th on Saturday and I am normally pretty short off the tee. Been hitting a 12 degree Yonex for about 8 years. Have always been straight off the tee just wish I switched driver a long time ago.

-8 after two rounds. Had so many putts almost drop in round one that it was silly. Got to love those 1-8 inch tap ins.... Other than that found myself with awkward distances to pins a lot, so dont think this is playing so easy... It is a great course, but both 8 and 18 are in fact par 4s nowadays, so the scores should be looked at with that in mind. Have to love those lidar greens.

I have been playing with regular shafts Ping G20s for the last 6 years. The driver was digitally checked at ping with 11.5 loft (stamped 10.5). You are out driving me by 50 yds. Of course I'm a 60 y.o. ,out of shape, golfer wanna be lol! I know you can't wait to get back on the course!

Guys i might not be able to get my rounds in this week. I have 2 races on Sunday that I have to practice for. So if you dont see any high scores on your standings this is why. Good luck to you guys this week.

Its ok man, I got your back. I'll post high enough scores to cover us both!
actually, this week, if we could only count the first half of each course, I'd be doing pretty good. hahah.

-10 final round (eagle, 8 birdies)
Sitting 5 behind stoney and 4 behind colly to start the round, I didn't really think I'd have much of a chance. But things went rather well with a -5 on the front and so knew I had a shot. Almost threw it away next hole but had an epic scramble to save par to keep the momentum. Sitting -7 after 15 and knowing I needed 2 birds at this point to tie the lead, I hit a great shot to 6 feet but miss the putt. Now the pressure was on. Next hole, nice approach and this time the putt drops! Great, just need a bird on the short par5. Playing smart I just try to give myself a stress free 2 putt with my approach and to my delight, ends up 2 ft away from the pin. Fk yeah a tap in eagle to take the PS4 lead at -30.
Only thing to do now is sit back and watch if colly or gavlaar crush my dreams lol. But regardless very happy with my play this week and the clutch charge I made in round 4.
-30 (-8,-6,-6,-10)

Got a hole to dig myself out of, but if any time of year is good for it, it’s Zombie Jesus™️ season* 🧟♂️
Have listened to Eye of the Tiger, can’t prepare better than that. Will be streaming on XBox if anyone is bored at work, will add Sir Wades ghost to get some reads 😂. No idea how to get the stream to post here, but I’ll try after I’m done. Starting at +3 thru about 6 I think.
*No offence intended to the god fearing folk 😇

No idea how you guys are scoring so well. Finished +2 for R1, will listen to eye of the tiger again and keep plugging away...
Edit - I get it now. You have to hit it close, then hole the putt. Did it once. Was a Wednesday I think...

Finished up somewhere around even par, somewhere around the end of round 2. I really shouldn’t mix painkillers with bourbon and Billy’s, but you’re not my mom, shut up!!!! 😘

Lots of burnt edges in round 1 at fishers island .... Lots of 7ft puts missed and had to eagle the last after a bogey at the par 5 15th to get a halfway decent score of -7 .... catching up to do ... Round 1 stats below

Round 2 stuggled on the greens with the lighting, finished with a bogey free -6 but only after nailing a 30ft putt for par! Not gonna be in contention this week boys so it looks like it's between Mark and Robyn on the ps4 anyway. Round 2 stats below ...
