Wish they had a color other than white for myself. I like playing yellow haha. Still gotta credit to them for being the ball I broke 90 with.

@CLenahan yup lol

After a rough outing at Annbriar, ok a rough outing for me I feel like now.. Shot a 103 there sunday. Now the course is actually pretty hard. Worse my driver hook decided to make an appearance. Not great on a course this tough. So just looked at my setup at home on monday before league on tuesday just so I had SOMETHING I could try and put into practice to change that. And I did. Now the distance off the tee wasnt spectacular.. like maybe 210-220, but I wasnt going for distance. Was just trying to get stuff to the MIDDLE of the fairway. I can add speed later (plus my back is pretty tight kinda hurting any hulkstrength I could muster). I uh... have a weird swing I think. For me I have 3 top things that I know I NEED to do to have a decent round. My driver shaft end CANNOT be pointed too far to my midline. I actually need to press it forward slightly. I have no trouble coming around on the ball and snapping that thing left like it saw a squirrel. My irons shafts... CANNOT lean left. For me? I need them to lean more middle almost obnoxiously so. I tend to squat down too much when setting up on irons or fairway/hybrids (thanks years of baseball and softball). I do that and I will fat shots all damn day. If my driver shaft end is too middle.... hook hook city. If my irons shaft ends not middle enough.... fade city. If I get too squatted in my stance.... fat fat city. Golf is hard. 43 (+8) in league after changing setup this late in the year.... not bad. 3 penalties too that round and got screwed by good contact lol. Hit my 8i somehow 160 something and it rolled into the lake on an attempted layup. I never hit this thing that far so I may have to adjust some ranges mentally now that i kind of have a setup planned out.

Glad league was yesterday. Today… Oof… 2”+ predicted.

This move your needle any lol. This was Friday.

I even flipped the image on my phone and the forum still went potato and kept it upside down. like ok fine I cant win.

Mornings are good when one actually gets a restful sleep. forum… you ok? Why’d you flip my image?

Ok so not morning, but this seems less than ideal. IMG_6510.mov hope it’s not cart path only tomorrow. could be worse I guess.

Hah... This was the last shirt I bought. https://toririchard.com/collections/shop-all-mens/products/cool-reef-tradewind-technology™?variant=42329045762224

both that and the pro are good balls. I stopped playing them when they started raising the price to premium non DTC price levels. At that point they lost me. Like sorry they are good, but the whole point of you was to be cheaper AND good. I will say however they have the BEST color for a ball ever. That lime green is just *chefs kiss* perfection. So easy to spot and track in the air.

Morning all, slower day for me so probably be on here a lot today haha.

I dont like a lot of the foreplay stuff, but Frankie and Trent are good dudes. Frankie did this little series to fix his just abysmal chipping. I got a LOT out of this series and I didnt even make it all the way through ep2 yet. A lot of really really good stuff here about the mental aspect of the game. Seriously I put what I learned from the first 2 episodes into practice my next round and shot a personal best +1 over in my mens league. Id NEVER gotten that close to even ever. Really changed my approach.

Hit everything you can. What you “think” you will like based on YouTube reviews and stuff you may actually hate. even with my sim2os, a super game improvement iron, I can absolutely hit a s*** shot fat/thin what have you.

And a potentially rainy morning here in midwestlandia. So humid the door into my building looked like it was raining. Anyhow more coffee humor.

So the TOP end of my bag... has been an exercise of hitting my neighbors clubs and SMOKING a ball. Ergo.. I needed to have it. The first culprit was the sim2max 3h. I didnt have a club that could reach this 200ish+ yard par 3 and asked if I could use it. I didnt really feel comfortable trying to hit my 20* 5iron. So I crack this ****** middle of the green over 200yd.... *sigh* Ok.... gimme the specs ima go buy it. Queue a few months later and playing scramble with the same neighbor. Well... the 3h I got (thanks you dick) wont quite make this distance. I am very much not going to hit driver off the deck.... Oh... you got a new 3w you say? "Can I hit it?" Smash this thing a respectable 230ish? I forget, but my hybrid wasnt making it to whatever distance it ended up being. So I go and buy that. A 3w 16.5* (so more a 4w?). TLDR: DONT HIT FRIENDS CLUBS.... it causes poor financial decisions, but great golfing ones.

Also... your luck with the arccos link may vary. Mine worked for a bit then just stopped picking up shots, its replacement also failed to do so. Went back to phone in pocket and it will at most miss a tap in putt or occasionally pick up me setting a club down, but thats easy to notice.

Agreed. The spin is excellent.

I will say I do have the H4 with the PROlx+ (I think its called) range finder. I use the absolute crap out of the H4 for a rough front middle back green reading. Sometimes ill shoot the pin with the actual finder, but 80% of the time its just the little H4 doing most of the heavy lifting. Also combined with my arccos stuff too.

Two PBS in a week has to be a record right?

Arccos while expensive. Works pretty well for me. I got it when I got my new iron set a few years ago now just so I could figure out the damn ranges it goes since I don’t have a launch monitor.

ARISE SPIES CHICKEN SPIES ARISE.. Im still trying to process shooting 1 over in league yesterday. This isnt something us mid high handicappers do.

So tonight was a weird one ladies and gents. I lost a skin on a par 3... to a hole in one from the group behind me. I cant even be mad at that lol. I also shot a personal best. By a LARGE margin. Finished the back 9 at my course during league 1 over. Par 35, shot a 36. Ive NEVER been that low. I cant even process what happened. Got the 8i a bit thin and pulled it left. Was in kind of a bad position so used my 5i to punch out low from under the trees. The 6... was honestly not even all my fault I guess? Ball was laying on top of something rock f****** hard and bladed my chip with the 56* across the green. Felt like I hit a rock or tree root. So not only did I break 90 for the first time on sunday... I ALMOST hit even today.

I just rotate between multiple gloves. Rain need not apply, its usually the 60%+ humidity in the midwest that forces my hand.

Always hope till that first tee shot, for me anyway.
