This Time Last Year

FullSizeRender.MOV FullSizeRender.MOV So I keep a book that tracks every 9 holes. Number relates to the hole. Driver shot shape is included. I put all my scoring data into Golfshake and track any patterns.

If it's the same as GHIN, it won't. I've been using the GHIN app for scoring and have had to enter it into The Grint. I think I'll go back to entering it on The Grint and let them send it over to GHIN.

I’ve stocked up on Vice Pro + Neon green for the season. Started playing them based on MGS testing for slow swing speeds. They work for me. 66 with an 85 mph swing speed.

Greenside chipping for sure. Only started playing again in December 2021 after finally getting knee surgery, and my wedge game was super inconsistent when I started up again, and I was skulling and chunking everything, so I picked up a set of the Mack Daddy CB wedges. They were great for rebuilding confidence and finding my touch again, but they definitely hit a skill ceiling in being able to get creative with shots, hit a flop shot, or play off of tight lies. Sold them and picked up a set of brand new MD5s, and it's been absolutely night and day. First round with them I had 2 near chip-ins that just barely lipped out, and I could play the finesse shots I wanted to be able to again. Forgot how much fun it was to absolutely rip a ball back on the green will brand new grooves as well

I can not believe it, but I was lucky enough to win the Limited Edition "Masters Edition" shaft from Accra, really excited to build this out and compare it to my current gamer, just need to decide on a grip... thinking something from No1will be the best compliment to it! Thought you all might want to take a closer look at the graphic details, pretty classy and fun! JP PXL_20230413_195230310~2.mp4

It's such a gamble when you pay for a high end fitting. You could end up with an incredible fitter or someone who might not even do as good of a job as the PGA superstore assistant. I have found the most confidence by going to different big box stores over the years and just hitting many, many different things. Overtime you will start to really narrow it down to what you like and dislike. Once you have that figured out you can work with someone on fine-tuning the details like gapping, lie angle, things like that.

Oh wow, I live here and I've never heard of that course! That's the great thing about Arg, it's so big you're always discovering new places to try out!

Titleist 620mb Irons – Review by Noxluxcaelum Intro In February 2022, I embarked on my golf journey, and as a newbie to the sport, I initially started going to the range just once a week. But before I knew it, I was completely hooked on the game, and my range visits became more frequent. These days, you'll find me at the range at least three times a week, working my way through a 1-2 jumbo bucket of balls and practicing my swing. And of course, I make sure to get in a round of golf a few times a month to keep things exciting. My ultimate goal is to become a scratch golfer, and I am fully committed to making that a reality. It's not just about perfecting my swing and improving my score, but also about immersing myself in the unique culture and community of golf. I can't wait to see where this journey takes me! All my data was gathered through my Garmin R10 in an outdoor range. As a self-proclaimed golf enthusiast, I am always on the lookout for the latest and greatest equipment to help improve my game. When I heard about the Titleist 620MB irons, I was eager to give them a try and see how they would measure up on the course. I know most people would argue blades like these should only be swung by scratch golfers or better. I have a different perspective about blades. I think high and mid handicaps might benefit more out of blades like these because of the same reason others might tell you to stay away, they lack any level of forgiveness. But I like that, I want a punch in the gut when I don’t strike the ball in the center. I want my irons to tell me exactly what I did wrong without holding anything back. I think this is the fastest and most effective way to get better. However, it also requires you to be a bit of a masochist, gluttonous go punishment, with an obsession to grind it out till body gives out. With all that said let’s go into what I think about these after grinding through them for a few months. My expectations were high, as I had heard nothing but good things about the Titleist brand and their commitment to quality. First Impressions (️️️️/5 stars) There really isn’t much tech in these as they’re just solid block of metal with a small sweet spot. But people have claimed it as a more forgiving blade respective to others out there and of the past. The forgiveness claims that have been made were not immediately apparent to me, but as I started using the 620MB irons, I began to notice a difference in the precision and control I had over my shots. These irons are designed for players who prioritize ball control and workability over forgiveness, and I definitely felt that aspect come through during my testing. Aesthetics (️️️️️/5 stars) The 620MB irons have a sleek and classic look to them, with a chrome finish that gives them a timeless appeal. I appreciate the clean lines and minimal branding on the clubs, which give them a professional and serious look. The Numbers (️️️️/5 points) During my testing, I saw a noticeable improvement in my accuracy and shot shaping abilities, which I attribute to the control and workability of these irons. Surprisingly, I did not see any increase or decrease in distance or ball speed, from my previous clubs (Taylormade 770). Overall, the numbers were solid. On The Course (️️️️️/5 points) When it comes to using the 620MB irons on the course, I found that they truly excel in terms of ball control and shot shaping. I was able to hit high, soft shots with ease and was consistently able to place my shots right where I wanted them. However, due to the lack of forgiveness, I did struggle a bit when I made a less-than-perfect swing. The Good, the bad, the inbetween (️️️️/5 points) Overall, I loved the precision and control that the 620MB irons provided, but I did notice how easily they can get scratched and scuffed. The clubs themselves are well-made, with a great feel at impact. One issue I had was that they did take a bit of time to break in and feel truly comfortable in my hands. Play it or Trade it? (️️️️️/5 points) For the right player, the Titleist 620MB irons could be an absolute game-changer. They are designed for those who prioritize control and workability, and if that's your style of play, these clubs are worth considering. However, for players who value forgiveness and distance above all else, these may not be the right fit. The price point is fair for the quality of the product, and I could see these irons being particularly beneficial for any level players looking to take their game to the next level. For me, these will definitely be in my bag till the grooves wear out. In conclusion, the Titleist 620MB irons are a solid choice for players who prioritize control and workability on the course. They may take a bit of time to get used to, but once you do, you'll appreciate the precision and feel that these irons provide. While they may not be the right fit for everyone, I can see these irons being particularly beneficial for those looking to fine-tune their game and take their skills to the next level. Overall, I give the Titleist 620MB irons a final score 27/30.

Is anyone else noticing that they cannot upload pictures now because they are too big?

I can carry my 5 iron for miles and miles and never touch it. Ha - poor attempt at humor. When I was younger, 40's and early 50's I was a 1. By then I had already lost swing speed. I can't recall exactly when I made the switch to 6 iron being the longest iron in my bag, early 50's I think - I know that I still maintained a 1 whenever it was. I'm not certain that you will get the stopping power that you would like out of hybrid. As csnoil said you would need to go 9 wood for that (I currently have 9 wood in my bag.) The issue with 9 wood is that it is not a great club in the wind - it's very hard to flight down and because it launches so high it often flies too far down wind once you get up over 15 mph. Another possibility is to go with more of a game or super game improvement 5 iron to see if that lowers your roll out - just a thought - that may be better for a stronger player like yourself.

Reaching out to see if anyone in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area (or someone who may want to travel there) would be interested in joining a Ryder Cup style group outing next week from May 4-6, 2023. It is an 8 man event/2 teams, but unfortunately one of the original guys has had a family medical issue come up that looks like it will keep him from attending. I'd love to find someone who would be interested in filling the spot. Golfing skills run the gamut, from mid single digits to 25+ and we use a modified handicapping system to keep everyone relevant. A few play frequently while others only play a few times a year. Ages range from mid 30s-mid 40s and this is our 20th edition of the Cup. Everyone is fairly easy going and likes to have a good time on the course while still enjoying the competition. Open to piecing it together with multiple guys filling different days if necessary. Appreciate any ideas/suggestions and happy to offer additional details if interested. The tentative schedule is as follows: Thurs 5/4 - 36 holes starting 7 AM Talking Stick Fri 5/5 - 18 holes starting at 7 AM WeKoPa Sat 5/6 - 36 holes starting 8 AM Wildfire (location/time may change)

I’ll definitely be back and play it, I enjoy simple courses I can walk for cheap. Cheers

I've played Southern Pines GC (previously owned by the Elk's Club) 3 or 4 times since the complete renovation by Kyle Franz, and its amazing now. Its also a lot more expensive than it was just a few years back, but its worth it.

I really enjoyed the Disney courses in the area too. I'd definitely play again

Slow Play - our course has 9 minute tee times which seems to provide a balance between revenue generation and pace of play. The other responsibility that the golf course crew has control over is green speed. If the greens are too fast for the membership / patrons, then the number of 3 and 4 putts taken by each group slows the pace of play down to turtle speed! There is certainly an etiquette element to slow play. Not being ready to play when it's your turn or not playing when you're ready while waiting on someone else. Leaving your bag/cart on the wrong side of the hole and making the group behind wait while you double back across the green to retrieve your gear. Using the wrong tee for your handicap. There are groups of women on our course who take courtesy to another level. One player in the group leaves the cart path and tees her ball up. The next player waits until the first player returns to the cart path and then like a relay race (slow motion), then takes her turn until they all hit. It takes forever and wastes so much time on each hole. LIV - Australia hasn't seen this many stars play at the same time in the same place like ... EVER! This was a big moment for Australian golf fans! Looking forward to trying out some Evnroll putters, going to make a switch this season!

2 degrees bounce will not be a noticeable difference or a solution to chunking shots. The biggest effect it will have is on how the club glides across the turf and vertical contact location. If you aren’t making great contact with your chips I’d focus more on technique. You should be able to chip with any club regardless of the bounce.

Yeah I saw it - when it was first publish a number of years ago - completely rehashed. I’ve been about 50/50 in my adult life between club and public. I’ve witnessed lots of crazy stuff in bars, lounges and on the and to the course. The only people whom I know of who have been kicked out were two guys caught lying about their handicap (they were club hopping so it was a pattern) and people who hadn’t paid their bill in over 90 days. My craziest thing at a club was a bride who got drunk before the wedding and a gust of wind blew her out of her Dad’s grasp, passed the groom and myself and down a hill - she ended up on the 18th green. I was their sponsoring member so it earned me a visit with the GM and club president. Once the door shut we all started laughing. I also had a staff member roll down the same hill at a staff Christmas party but it was on a dare where she said it couldn’t happen - it can!

I don’t think there’s a wrong club. There is nothing that states driver has to be played or that a certain shot needs to be played Ariya Jutanugarn has multiple lpga wins along with winning both women’s open championships without using a driver. The goal is to get the ball in the hole using as few as strokes as possible. Play what gives you that chance.
