How'd you play?
cksurfdude and 9 others reacted to edingc for a topic
Brought COVID back from my vacation, and while I'm feeling better I definitely have tried to push it too far twice now. Before I got sick, I shot a 79 (two Sundays ago now) and then somehow pulled off a 78 the morning I started to feel "off." Was wiped out for about five days and tried to play 18 Sunday but quit after about 12 holes because I was exhausted. Waited all week to recover some more and tried 18 again this morning. I made it through about 11 or 12 holes before just hitting a wall and calling it quits. Played OK for the first nine holes both times, shooting 40 and 39. My putting was horrendous today, which was unfortunate because my driver didn't cost me a single stroke. First drive of the day was piped 298 yards dead straight. Hopefully this fatigue goes away quickly as I'm running out of season!10 points -

How'd you play?

Biggest gamechanger for me with the wedges has been the grind. There's a lot of forgiveness baked into the Edel V grind that I didn't have with my Cobra MIMs. The leading edge relief and the trailing bounce really work well for my swing, especially off of the mushy and wet bluegrass fairways I spend most of my time on. The moveable weight is a nice touch also, especially in the toe where it really excels around the greens. I can hit a nice high and soft pitch now that really wasn't part of my game before. My short game touch has left me over the past two weeks or so, but overall I'm pretty comfortable around the greens now. I do miss the black finish of the MIMs, which was much nicer in the harsh morning light. But the Edels have definitely secured their spot in my bag.6 points -
Crazy day for playing Maumee State Park( located just east of Toledo), a Links course on Lake Erie. Winds were gusting to 30mph, temps were 90 +, humidity was shirt drenching AND the groups ahead of us were very slow. By the time our 4some got to #18 we were past 4 1/2 hours and hitting INTO this gusting wind. Ended up topping my drive, quick recovery by my 5 wood and a nice putt to boot. That hole was worth a $3.00 skin .6 points

Mizuno Pro 221/223/225
silver & black and 4 others reacted to bens197 for a topic
I put it in the mix with my 223 fitting and it did not last long. The numbers were nearly the same for me 7 iron vs 7 iron which was a surprise. Slightly less spin on the 225 and slightly longer but the amusing part was two things for me. 1) The peak trajectory was within 3 feet between the two (223 was slightly higher) 2) The feel on the 225 was not even close to the 223. Side by side, I saw no significant difference or reason to consider the 225 as a forgiving alternative to long irons. 6 months later I am still pleased with my decision; the 223 long irons are easy to hit and feel fantastic.5 points -

42 yesterday in a league sub night... with triple on the last. Devastating finish from just too much heat and sweat. Honestly thought on the last tee shot my 5 iron was going to come out of my hand. Back at it tonight, then a weekend away from golf, which will be nice.5 points -

Share your Shot/Hole Of The Day!
rkj427 and 4 others reacted to GolfSpy_SHARK for a topic
From the other day, while I did almost dunk one, this was the best shot of the day: While it was a double (atrocious putting and greenside work on my part) the 2nd shot after a poor tee shot was a highlight for me because I did exactly what I wanted to do. Had to hit a low right to left ball because I was under a tree and was completely blocked from a straight low stinger. Nailed the shot, 200 yard draw that just barely hopped off the green. What a hole it would have been if I made the chip/down.5 points -
I probably missed a post somewhere but what are the irons? I just put some fresh new black Pure's on my irons last week! Forgot how much I loved these grips! I bought a set of 13 brand spanky grips for $30 from a guy. Found them on OfferUp. Not sure if it was a "fell off the truck" special or what but when they're selling for $9-11/ea I don't ask questions.. The grips are so stretchy that I was able to make a putter grip out of one. I built it up to a straight no taper putter size using aluminum duct tape (x2 the weight of masking tape) and to equal the size and weight of the Edel 85g grip that the putter was built with. So far my favorite putter grip ever!5 points

Shot 97 today not my best nor my worst. Putting was a struggle at the beginning of the round had way too many 3 putts. Hit the new driver so so, some great some not so great. Overall it wasn’t a bad round for having new irons and a driver in the bag which I haven’t had for years. I think with a little more tweaking I can get the driver dialed in better5 points -

Mizuno Pro 221/223/225
sirchunksalot and 3 others reacted to chisag for a topic
... I just went through something very similar with my '22 Forged Tecs and MIM's. I played my last round with even irons FT and odd irons MIM and the difference during an actual round was pretty obvious. To be fair I think the i95's in the MIMs also feel better than the i80's in the FT's but the MIM 4 iron is one of my favorite clubs and I just didn't find much difference in forgiveness compared to the FT. I have also been playing MIM's for 1.5 years with a good 350 rounds using them so there is a familiarity and comfort and the FT's always had a steep hill to climb. All that said, I could put the FT's in the bag and be very content if I didn't think the MIMs are the best irons I have ever played. I am guessing you have a similar affinity for the 223's that just look stunning at address.4 points -

Funny @Jmikecpa should mention guns at a golf outing. @Golfspy_CG2and I used to play in a tourney on the eastern shore that had one hole sponsored by a cigar shop, another hole sponsored by a liquor store (that did shots of tequila or vodka (can't remember which)) and one hole sponsored by the local gun club. The one sponsored by the gun club would have skeet setup on a par 3 over the water. People would tee off on a platform to hit the par 3 and you would shoot skeet in between approach shots. chips and putts. So your team would have 8 tries to knock down 8 sporting clays. If you hit 4/8 as a team you would get a stroke off your score. Good thing they spaced out the liquor store sponsored hole and the gun club hole. For the record, yes I did start on the liquor store hole one year and did a shot at 9AM in the morning and yes, I hit all the sporting clays, for the most part, LOL. MDGolfHacker4 points -

Well if that was the case I would have been dead long ago.. We used to get them from the field wash them off throw them in a cooler and iced them down sliced them with a pocket knife and add a little salt. In fact Sunday after Church I stopped by the little produce stand and got a couple. Cleaned them up put in a container of water in the fridge ate one just before bedtime. But yes we also eat them sliced soaked in vinegar and black pepper. In fact that was the fate of my second one my wife sliced it up put in the fridge in vinegar and black pepper those were right about lunch time Monday4 points

A bunch of us did something like that screwing with the SC Transport Police. Now I will note most of those guys are ok. We had a couple of little firecracker newbies in the area. We set the cruise on 54 in a 55 zone. They started pulling us and writing up little BS stuff. Their logic was if someone was running under the speed limit they were hiding violations. Those 2 cats wrote up like 100 tickets for BS in like 4 days. My boss was one of the companies that took all to court. When the judge heard one of them make that statement he threw every ticket out. When the district commander heard about it he seperated and moved those guys to different districts. My boss and several companies threatend to file harassment in the future if those guys pulled us. In fact the Sargent in our area thanked us for getting rid of those 2 because as he put it both of them were a royal PITA for him. All of us told him in so many words if he had any future problems to let us know. Now we did get pulled sometimes for inspection but they knew our company kept the trucks up. One of them pulled me one day and asked if I was in a hurry? I told him naah we got paid by the hour. He said no problem that he had one more inspection to do for the day and he knew we were easy with no violations. Sat in the car with him drinking Pepsi while he did the paper work. Next week I got pulled by a different one. He ran my license etc came back to the truck and said have a nice day "Schmitt I see you were inspected 2 days ago and were ok I can not justify another inspection have a nice day and I will catch you again. Around here it was a game with the regular drivers and officers.4 points -

I had to get smarter as well. I used to do cherry tomatoes but I'm the only person I know who eats them. Felt awful wasting so many - I can eat a pound or two over a few days but that's enough. Last year I think I pulled about 25 pounds of cherry tomatoes out of the garden. Overkill, obviously. I also used to do cabbage and Brussels sprouts, but last year's cabbage went almost completely to waste (something like 11 heads). I just don't know anyone else who eats them! Green beans are a staple and even we struggle to keep up with those. I think I've pulled 10 pounds out over the last four days. I should can or freeze, but that's even more time commitment that I just don't have...4 points

As I have previously mentioned, I recently dropped Arccos and switched to Shot Scope. I have four rounds in with my new V3, and I have absolutely no regrets. It has functioned flawlessly. It has detected every shot and uploaded flawlessly. I am starting to analyze my data, and am learning what exactly I need to work on next. I am very happy that there is no annual subscription cost too. One thing I do miss from Arccos is the GPS on my phone, but that is a small price to pay for the benefit I receive. I can recommend Shot Scope without reservation.4 points -

Put my irons together today. Purchased the pre-measured lengths for my irons and noticed that they are longer than my old irons by half inch or so. Going to see how this works out for me, guess I should have checked the lengths but they were supposed to be cut for the length of the irons they were meant to fit. My driver came into was supposed to be used but is wrapped in plastic and brand new SCORE!4 points

Maxfli Tour
[email protected] and 2 others reacted to chisag for a topic
... MGS Ball Testing says Titleist ProV1 sets the standard for quality and performance and I doubt anyone can find any fault with that claim. After playing about 10 rounds with Maxfli Tour balls, I put some ProV1's into play for 5 rounds then went back to Maxfli Tours for another 10. At my level of play, I just can't tell much difference if any at all. The Maxfli Tour is just so good at everything and the only difference I might have seen is the ProV1 is just a little more durable. I bought 2 dozen Maxfli Tours for $60 after MGS gave them such high marks and then went back and took advantage of the 4 dozen for $104 deal. That's 4 dozen Maxfli Tour for the cost of 2 dozen ProV1's so for non tour players that don't get balls for free, if you play 5 times a week and even once a week that is a substantial savings for balls that I can honestly not tell apart. ... I also always use the CG alignment on the tee and on the greens but do not "line up putts", I just make sure it is pretty much in the direction I am hitting/putting. I really can't say if it makes any difference but if Maxfli went through the trouble to find the CG, I figure why not use it. At the moment I think it is the best ball deal going.3 points -

Both. Both are great systems and have great games. Xbox Game Pass is incredible and PlayStation just launched their new gaming subscription service as well if you can only get one, it comes down to 2 things: 1) Exclusive games 2) Do you play online and if so, where do your friends play? im jlukes on Xbox. Been playing Forza Horizon 5, outriders, TMNT, art of rally, NHL 22 im jlukes7 on ps and have been playing returnal, ghost of Tsushima, wreckfest, division 2, fall guys , horizon forbidden west, Spider-Man miles morales, hell let loose, pga tour 2k21 Most of the games I listed above are on both consoles, so it just comes down to what you want to play on and who you want to play with. I still think PS5 has the best exclusives. Ratchet and Clank, horizons, returnal, god of war, death stranding, ghost of Tsushima etc.3 points -
