a good virtual walk spoiled: part 11

I tried a different simulator place in town and I liked this one quite a bit. 


This one notably included putting. The first hole I think I four-putted because I was getting the hang of it. It only gives a gimme if you get it inside 5 feet. 

Highlights from today:
On the 11th or 12th, I drained a 24 foot putt.
On the 15th, I hit a par with no mulligans. 

Last time's recap:
1 par
5 bogeys
4 doubles
8 triples or worse
15 mulligans
total score 119

Today:
1 par
5 bogeys
5 doubles
7 triples or worse
8 mulligans
total score 110

I didn't even notice that last time I scored a 68 on the front nine and then a 51 on the back nine.

Today I scored a 60 on the front nine and then a 50 on the back nine.

Now some of that is that in the beginning I'm always like "I'm not taking mulligans" but then you hit it into the water or something stupid so you take one or two, and then you get more comfotable taking them as the round goes on...I'm also playing Turtle Bay in Hawaii because it's cool, and it's got way more water than anyone like me has business playing, so I don't feel guilty about taking some mulligans.

But also I think it shows that I do play better once I'm warmed up.

My par last time was on a par 3 on the back nine.
My par today was on a par 3 on the back nine.

Last time my three worst holes were a 9, 10, 12.

This time my three worst holes were all 8s.

Anyways, +14 on the back nine is pretty good for me. Breaking 100 would be nice, and if I can play like I did on the back nine, on the front nine too, that would be cool.

  1. A few comments/questions. First of all, kudos on the improvement.

    In the picture, which one are you? Stroke or 1 Player?

    If you do better on the back 9, why don't you play those first and then the front nine? Then you'll be warmed up for the holes you do worse on.

  2. I'm Player. Stroke is just the par. Unless that was a joke.
