    I was out there at the range practicing that morning. The course is in very nice shape right now. Let me know if you'd like a game sometime.

We played the back 9 twice and when we finished it was 40 degrees but I had a blast anyways! Decent track.

    Remind me to rub you for luck on Saturday (no hoolio, not that kind of rub ).

    I'm sooooo close to doing something special. I'm hoping the weekend's competition brings it out. The new driver should help too.
    When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

    I think for me, my best round so far this year is 78 or 79 and of course I think the worst is 98 with a case of the sh@nks.

    Thanks but I live in Ottawa. I was staying at my buddies in Bradford who is a stone's throw away so we went over for a quick round before the women went shopping. I go visit often enough so we'll set something up for the next time I'm there.

    Best scores this year are a 3 over 73 at Madawaska (the main course, from the back tees) and a 1 over 73 at Metcalfe from the whites. Also have an 81 at Eagle Creek from the Blues which I was pretty happy with.

    Not my best this year, but my 73 from the tips at Eagles Glen on PEI featured my best 3 hole stretch ever ..... eagle, birdie, eagle for a 32 on the back nine....still trying to forget the front nine.

    Just played Emerald Links, East/South and shot 45-36, which makes the 36 my best 9 of the year and probably for a couple of years. 3 birds, 3 pars, 3 bogeys on the South. Can't remember the last time I had 3 birds in a round, let alone a 9.

    BTW, the south is in great shape. The East was in good shape, though the greens were a little bumpy for my liking.
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    A pair of 84's in the club championships to win the C-flight at Greensmere - although that was from the white tees. I had shot a 85 a few weeks previous from the blacks. I'm shooting regularly in the high 80's and low 90's now. Another week of good scores like that and I'll have accomplished the goal I set for myself at the start of the year: Reduce my handicap from a 27 to 18.

    Reducing your handicap by that much is very impressive. Well done.

    77 at the Marshes in the 3rd round of the Citizen tournament. I've had lower scores this year but, given the circumstances and the conditions, that was probably my "best" round of the year.

    An 88 today at Meadows. I really play much better when the greens are a little wet. Should have been an 85, but oh well.

    95 at meadows today(5 more than best of this year). all that studying i did during the week, watching videos, taking notes, was too much information to absorb and try to apply without practicing first. i was overthinking the game. it was very frustrating. I need a trip to Capital golf soon to practice!

    My best day of golf was a nine and dine at the Marshes in July 31st. Shot a 45 with a Ten on hole #2!

    Except for that hole it was some of the best ball striking I've ever done to be followed by a great dinner and then two weeks of vacation. Good Times!

    Well, had my best game ever today at Pineview. After a normal 46 out....shot an impressive even par 35 on the back with an eagle and two birdies for an 81. Hopefully I will see more of the 80's before the year ends!!!!

    You have the game to shoot those low numbers. I remember the hot start you got off to at Cascades. Plus, you hit your irons a mile..

    Today the driver was hot. Hitting GIR really helps also especially on par 3s for me!! At least I see some hope to finally bringing the cap down.

    It has always amazed me that you aren't shooting much lower numbers. I have no doubt that you will do so. Keep up the good work.

    Is that for the front 9, or the back 9?

    Ouch!!!! Next spring I'm starting the prediction thread. Unfortunately I had a few bad holes, started out great though, 2 over after 4 holes with a sweet bird.... Shot a 95 with a triple bogey on 18 to finish a crappy day.

    74 yesterday at Innerkip Highlands from the blue (70.0/125) with 5 birdies (-3 on the par 5s). As mentioned in another post, it's easily my best round in 8 years. I scored like a champ as I didn't hit the irons very well at all and putted about as well as I can. I restored the faith I once had in my short game too!
