three bogeys for a 39. I focused on keeping my head still and swinging easy on my shots. What a difference!
I finally broke 40 for nine holes this year. It happened Wednesday evening after work. I had six pars and

It always helps to keep your head still on the hole with the windmill. The one with the bridge leading to the clown's mouth is always my downfall. I have better luck with the green balls and the longer putters with no bubble gum on the shafts.

I play the green tees now at age 67. The only ones shorter than them are the women's tees.
It's not on the score card because it's something new at Otter Creek. A lot of golfers my age and younger are playing them.
The whites at otter creek are about 5400-5700 yards depending upon the combo of nines played. Not sure you can move up much more than that and keep your manhood intact.
McNutt, have you ever invested in some lessons? I highly recommend it. You seem to be in good physical shape and I know you have a history of playing sports, so I assume you have some athletic ability. You certainly play enough rounds to gain consistency. Breaking 80 from less than 6,000 yards should not be an issue for you. Assuming you can average 200-220 yards off the tee (and keep it in play), your approach shots should be a mid to short iron on most holes. Take away the blow-up holes, add a hand full of bogeys, and an occasional birdie, should have you breaking 80 most days.
I work until 5:00, so it was about 5:50 when I teed off. It was almost dark when I finished around 7:00.
Lessons don't help me because my injured knee from basketball doesn't allow me to use my lower body or turn on the ball with my upper body. In other words, I mostly rely on my hands and arms during my swing.
$49.00 if you're a senior. That includes a riding cart. Of course I have a membership that includes a locker and unlimited driving range usage.

What is it for non seniors? $70 during the week? It is one of my favorite courses but extremely over priced.
Best news of 2020! Keep these motivational posts coming!
On a related note, I successfully balanced my checkbook yesterday. On the first try! Thought about creating a post to memorialize the event but didn't want to compete with stuff like this....

McDoofus, I've seen veterans with no legs learn to play golf from a cart. You think they do that on their own? That's what a good pro does: helps you find a way to make a solid consistent swing, despite any physical limitations you might have. That's their job.
Wrong. Ned Ryerson, never NEVER, had a stare like McNutt. At best, I'll give you Ned Ryerson and Chuck Norris's love child.
I wonder if they both played in a foursome with their Dentist buddy? Could be!
