I'll kick things off then...

Florida Glades PRO/ MS/ BLI/ NPM(new putting meter) /S9/breezy

76 (+4)

29putts

50%GIR 50%FIR

Since the update to 1.3.4.0 my timing has been poor. It feels more sensitive but could be overswinging more due to the lack of jumpback on the meter.

Short game was superb. Some great chips and a beautiful pitch shot (having learned how to get it to stop dead by overswinging) that stopped 2" from the pin. So many drives in the rough or bunkers though. Really need to work on my driving and approach shots because I am missing targets way too much right now. Don't want to go back to min/min so will persevere.

Robbie I take it by new putting meter you mean the"fixed" one that doesn't jump back 3% out so?
Clarification: Ted this is only a one game event? Almost afraid to go out there playing pro - reading my doc I have a feeling will be a real laugher unless I put my ducks in order for 18 holes (starting with the first hole). This could turn out to be a book and a comedy at that )

[Greensboronclion]

Well all I will say is its over and here is the damage

Southhampton Links

Calm MS New Putting BLI Stimp 11 Med Pins

38-43=81

50% fairways and 28% greens and 1.61 putts per hole

Great par on 6 as I was near a bush I had never seen before and hit   my first fairway and made BIridie on 7 and other than that I seemed to be pulling the ball all day long.  I have good short game or it would have been 90.  I am now gone for the next four days and will see if I post another but I doubt it.  Its ok to try but to me its like torture to play Pro and if I am going to be tortured I will go to work for that.  I am a Min guy and really enjoy that and it is what it is.  Thanks Ted for setting it up and may force be with you as it sure was not with me today.

Pappy, this is a perpetual event. Play as many or as few rounds as you like.

 

It'll be clear when the board is up.

[robbiet71]

Pappy, yes I mean the new flag less putting meter as opposed to the one with the flag (that is too easy to judge distance and takes the challenge out of putting imo.)

The old one with the flag is now optional so anyone using the OPM (old putting meter) has a slight advantage but a lot less fun.

Carded a +2 73 at Illinois using MS.  Was 50% FIR and only 44% GIR.  My short game saved my butt more times than I can remember.  Had three birdies on the day.  One at #9 after hitting my tee shot in the left scrub over by the cartpath.  My approach however landed within 11 feet and I squeaked in a putt for the bird.  The other two birds came at 16 and 18.  Both tee shots landed in the fairways and hit to 10 and 6 feet on each to leave birdie putts.  All in all, quite the enjoyable round despite being kinda nervous on the first tee not having played much Off/Off.

[robbiet71]

Florida Glades 74 (+2) MS pro BLI NPM.

Was more careful with the power from the tee and managed 64% FIR. 50% GIR. 29 putts again. 22ft was my longest holed putt.

Round was going quite well until the 16th. Bogied the short par 5 and then on the 17th at Sawgrass I hit to within 8ft only to find the pin on a horrible slope. Seriously, that hole is scarey enough without sloping pin positions. Made par. Then the 18th I hit a perfect drive followed by an approach that just caught in the fringe rough. Then I fluffed my chip and bogied that one. Grrr! I will par this course if it kills me.

⛳️. Practicing pro for 2 weeks now mswing, proud to shoot a best score of 3 rounds of 85 at Illinois Bli and sparing used grid...more for sidehill reads and putts. Really tryin to work the 11 fade and 1 draw mouse movement. Also, playing with fade draw setting and hitting 12/6..along with AIM.. Very challenging..luv it. ⛳️.

Played Black Swan 18 holes pro according to the instructions above. Motion swing. Gotta say it tarred me out after 18 of BS. Without going into all the boring details I did fairly good up to the turn - even par. The second nine +7 - glad it's over. I doubt if I'll play off/off again. So my official score is 79 at Black Swan.

[Ted_Ball]

Not a bad score at all Pappy. 

 

77    at Massachusetts here. Even par on the back nine.

Only birds on 10 and 14. Never looked like a bird otherwise.

26 putts with DFP but only because I couldn't hit a green to save my life.

 

Really enjoyed fighting hard to keep bogies off the card. The thing is with Pro (for me anyway) is that I know there's that good score just around the corner.

 

The leaderboard is in alphabetical order. More stats to come on the leaderboard.

My first round of 3C off/off with BLI and F2-4 cams.

Crystal Pines - calm, normal, and 10 stimp.

Even par 71 - birdies on 4, 7, and 12; bogies on 3, 5, and 9.  Best putt was on 12, a 19 footer.

FIR=21%    GIR=67%     pph=1.72 (31 total)

Off/off seamed just a little mroe penal on the snap than min/min - but for my first outing I hit either a great snap, or very bad (poor FIR).

Enjoyed the round much more than I expected.

[Greensboronclion]

JMK do you think the penal is to the left? It seems every time I missed it was to the left and I half wonder if the fix to the drop off at the top of the backswing has anything to do with it. Just a thought and when I get back home on Monday I will give another course a crack.

[jmk59]

G is that something associated with 3C?  I fixed my bad snaps with new mouse batteries (duh).

[jmk59]

Well... this is gettig adicting, I don't want to stop playing.

 

Next round was Florida Glades - calm, normal, 10 stimp.

(+2) 74 - bogies at 3, 7 (water), 14, and 17 (water); birdies at 12 and 16.  Best hole was a chip-in bogies on 17.

FIR=62     Gir=36     pph=1.33 (24 total)

Glades was all about where to put the t-shot to keep it dry.  Also...replaced the mouse batteries at the turn and started to play better ( who knew?)

Teddy

BS...MS Pro , 7/10, breezy....Bli was a must for most of the 18...
80
Getting the timing down, fairways/greens

⛳️. Man, awesome learning round on fade draw, sweet...luv it. ⛳️

[jmk59]

Speed golf - each round unfer 1 hour.

Illinois CC - calm, normal, 10 stimp.

(+3) 74 - birdies at 1 (approach ot 3 "), 8 (approach to 5 ') , 10 and 14; bodies at 4, 7, 9, and 17.

Came to the 18th at even. Two shots dropped into the water for an oacho.

FIR=50     GIR=50     pph=1.61 (29 total)

Had the round in check until 17, then bad advice from the caddy (Seagram's VO)

[Ted_Ball]

Yeah Fairwayman...A nicely shaped draw or fade to a tight pin from 180 yards is a thing of beauty - especially at Pro where control is paramount. 

 

G.......that control, that strong and consistent control, will come and when it does it will be one of those great gaming moments. I'm really only content with my driving to this point. The rest will come good with time. Hang in there.

[jmk59]

Teddy,

I'm enjoying this format way more than I thought I would - I hope you keep this going.

[Ted_Ball]

Goodo J......I will.

 

I'll also be adding averages for;

 

Each player overall

Each course for each player

Each course

 

It should work as a handy little ready-reckoner.

BTW the brighter your score the lower your score
