haven't posted in a while. Last thursday, I used some gift cards and played Pinehurst #5. Great day as humidity was relatively low. Other than driver, everything else off the tee was good. Had some funky bounces (a punch out hit a crack in a cart path and bounced OB across the fairway), but scored great +1 on the front. Felt tired on the back and hacked it up some for a bummer +6 on the back for a 79. Am I happy, yes since it was nice and I wasn't working that day. putting was good, and irons were pretty solid. I'll be good once I straighten the driver.

I wanted to give an update on my Tour X experience. I’ve been playing on a short 9 hole the last few months. Lots of irons and hitting of trees. This ball has been played the last 90 holes. The amount of damage, or lack thereof is impressive. Also impressive is when I hit the trees I seem to find it and I’ve missed threeponds on the course. Well I hit one but it skipped across to safety. Yes there’s damage but it’s essentially been over 5 18 hole rounds. I also lost the ball the second hole I played after the pics were taken. It made it 91 holes

Team untuck. Mainly due to gut size. I've had to tuck in when playing with the inlaws at the CCNC, but otherwise it's untucked. Once I lose some weight, I may enjoy tucking in.

I was hoping he hadn't teed off yet, then realized that can't be the case. His standing is almost as mine in this Pool

1. E cut 2. 71.1

Favorites I still have: PT15 that I still occasionally use. Also love my Cleveland Hibore 2 hybrid. Best club off the tee for me, although it's only a 225 club. Favorites I wish I still had: 975D 7.5 degree, Hogan Edge irons with leather wrap grips, Callaway Deuce, Callaway Great Big Bertha 8.5 degree, Ping Zing natural wood color driver. I'm sure I'm missing some.

If I was allowed to tee off at 6 am or and could pay after, I would. The two 9 hole courses around here open at 8 am. it's awful. Back home, I could get out at 530 and be home and get ready for work when I was a member of a course

Right now, it's 9. I want to try to get out early and get back home on a saturday or sunday.

The grass range here is 6 for small (35ish balls), and I believe 11 for large (70ish). Maybe 15 for jumbo (105ish). I don't pay attention to jumbo since I never buy it. The best deal is buying 100 tickets for $260. Each ticket is worth a small bucket. Great savings. They have other deals, but not as good.

As someone who loved and misses my 975D, I've always been a fan of Titleist. I had a TS3 for about 3 months and hated it. Maybe, once they drop in price after a couple of years, I may jump at trying one of these. I'm not sure about the shiny top however. My luck, I'll tee up where the sun reflects off it into my eyes.

Not sure about kicking butt, but if I'm able to get time off I'd be up for a round.

This has been great reading through. As someone who has a free gym membership, but prefers to workout at home, I love having multiple options.

spent $25 on an old Callaway 7 wood to test it out. It's taken a little bit getting used to, but I'm starting to like it the more I hit it. I feel there's something about old clubs, given I still play a PT15 and irons from 1999

That's a great question. I know I just took about 10 or so out since i couldn't close a zipper. Maybe it's why I am struggling pushing my cart at times. So I just went out and counted 23. I don't think I'm going to play the Nitro or Top Flite I found in my bag, so I'm thinking it's time to empty it out

So my goal is easy. To lose a ton of weight. I actually lift weights and walk every day, but eat poorly. My game seems to reflect how poorly I am physically. The better shape I'm in, the better I play. Just throwing out there that I'm going to get better at eating better. This rising handicap drives me nuts.
