Played today and it was hot as heck outside. Shot 78 with a 10 on a par 5. I Tin Cupped it 3 times before cooler heads prevailed. If I take a bogey there instead of a quint, I shoot 73. We had a good laugh over it at least.

Wow - nice score for what it's worth, man. I am a terrible heat player - and a bad fair weather golfer. I play a lot better in the cold and crappy weather to be honest.

I snuck in 9 today, shot even 36 before I called it a day. Despite the wind, I didn't have any crazy up and downs. It was honestly a very boring round of golf - tee to fairway to green - left putts short, but short enough for par.

Tempting to take the day off tommorrow for bday present - ah not worth it

I'm usually pretty good in heat, but perhaps I'm not as young as I used to be.

Gonna get in another round this next weekend if the weather cooperates. Maybe I'll go the conservative route and stop trying to pull off the hero shot.

I played yesterday (13 holes). Course was pretty wet but was still nice to be playing golf in March. Played how I would expect. Some good/some bad shots. Was very proud of 2 shots that I hit which made my day!

Huzzah! There's a course in town opening already tomorrow! This has to be some kind of record!

Where do you live? Every course up here stays open year round.

I went out and played (poorly) today. Still getting the hang of the new putter I bought - it was only my second round with it. Got a lot better on the back 9. Overall, though, considering it was only the third time I've played this year, not too bad.

1. I have a really bad slice with my driver
2. Being a smaller guy, my swing speed/distance is below average with all clubs
3. Not able to consistently get my iron shots as high in the air as they should be
4. Long irons in general
5. Fat shots...a lot of them
6. Can't get my drives in the air (I have a 13* so this shouldn't be a problem)
