  1. What shafts did you have in the SCORs prior to the Genius shafts?
  2. I played my go to executive course and had a personal best of 1 under par. The holes are very very short but I'll still take considering I never practice.
  3. Yes but you guys have an excuse because of the snow, I live in Southern California.
  4. Today was the first time I've hit a ball in about 3 months and I don't think I've chunked so many shots in one range session other than when I started playing this game for the first time. I know this isn't technically a round of golf but I felt it was worth sharing, I can only imagine what my score would be if I did go and play today.
  5. I don't know if it's the hardest but the South Course at Los Serranos Golf Club is a very long course, 7628 from the tips, 7188 from blues, 6743 from whites and 6082 from the forward tees. I'm not a far hitter so playing from the blues multiple times wasn't smart. The final hole is a 677 par 5 from the tips, it's a long way to get there.
  6. Other than fitting, what's the point of adjusting the lie angle? I guess if your putter toe is a little high before a round then you can adjust it.
  7. Definitely a watch person. I only own two watches currently, both are quartz, but I would like to own a very nice mechanical watch one day. There are a too many that I like, Ball, Hamilton, IWC, Omega, Sinn and much more. I realize I could use a cell phone to look up time but there are many more reasons as to why I like watches, they are mechanical art. There are some nice quartz watches as well such as Swiss Army.
  8. If an iron has undergone a forging process and is made from 8620 carbon steel then it is really forged in my opinion. If the iron came from a casting and was then forged, I consider it forged, technically speaking. Yes it wasn't forged from a billet like a lot of irons are but it still went through the process. It's like my Wilson 8882 that I have. By a golfer's definition, it's not a milled putter however, it did get milling on the face so it technically was "milled" in that aspect even though the putter came from a casting process (I believe) and not from a solid block of metal like a 100% milled putter. I just started learning about manufacturing processes in engineering school so I'm taking the terms "forged" and "cast" here in a literal sense. As for feel, I'm not sure I can tell a difference when it comes to the material. For wedges, I can feel a difference in a Vokey vs SCOR but that may have something to do with the shaft. If you gave me two identical wedges that were both created the same and had the same specs except one is from 8260 and the other one from is 1020, I'm not sure I would be able to tell a difference.
  9. It's been 6 months since I've played a full 18 hole round. I've still hit on the range and been on executive courses a few times but not much other than that. I shot 81 (+10) and was almost able to break 80. I was 8 over teeing off on 16 and eventually had a three putt that should not have happened, the approach shot landed 15-20 feet away and it was a straight slight downhill putt but I hit it a tad hard and pulled the 3 footer coming back. I then saved a bogey on 17 and parred 18. I was putting pretty decent and hitting my tee shots great but my approach shots were killing me. I had to grind to save par on quite a few holes, good thing my short game was on, for the most part.
  10. Played at the local mini course with a putter, 56 wedge and 7 iron. It's been 2 months since I've hit a ball but I didn't play bad. Now I want to play a full 18.
  11. Lately I have lost interest in playing golf. I've only played a couple times this summer even though I've had plenty of time. During those couple rounds, I was able to play well, wasn't frustrated, and enjoyed myself so I'm not quite sure of the reason for this lack of interest. I still like to watch golf and look at certain types of equipment but I can't get excited enough to get out there and play whether it's a full 18, the local executive course or even the range. I'm hoping that I will find that spark and take up golf seriously again. This may take a little time since I'm starting college and want to really focus on that and on some other extra-curricular activities. I've read about golfers quitting or losing interest mainly because of high scores, not having fun, financial reasons, etc. Anyone else here go through a slump like this? Also, I haven't been too active on the forums because of this. I haven't been golfing much or trying new equipment so I didn't feel as if I had anything to contribute. So if you don't see much coming from me then this explains it. I'll still be part of MyGolfSpy and hope to contribute more posts once I'm playing more.
  12. We were never allowed caddies either. I didn't think that was a thing that high school golfers did.
  13. Yelling with each shot like that would be a great way to mess with an opponent. And you can whisper "Tap" on putts.
  14. That sounds very bad, I think I would have to leave.
