  1. 5 rounds in the books since wednesday... Striking the ball well, though after the long Minnesota winter I'm finding my putting is sad. Shot what was a mostly solidly struck 87 today at ASU Karsten course, with 37 putts... yeah, that's right. 37. The number of birdies that I turned into bogies was disgusting. As far as I'm concerned, playing the same ball through 18 holes is exciting enough.
  2. I'm here because I need to be reminded that it's not THAT unnatural to be this much of a golf nerd.
  3. You're trying to fill the same gap that I am, sort of. I actually picked up a Covert Tour hybrid that's adjusts between 17* and 21*. I have it at 19, but I'm almost considering setting it to 21* to replace a 4 iron to gain some distance and then fill the gap above it with a 5 wood.
  4. Somebody please confiscate my eBay account... I just bought two sets of Australian Blades.

      Actually, sure Richard. The first set came in today and I hit them for a couple hours and decided that they may be one the best sets of blades I've ever played. They were stunningly excellent. I won't need two sets though, so yeah, shoot me a message if there's anything you'd trade for them.

  5. R.I.P. Minnesota Golf Season - It's been a fun couple of months.

  6. Did I just figure out my personal secret for putting consistently? Yup!

      Of course. I used to constantly try to keep my right arm as straight as possible, thinking that it would eliminate the variable of my elbow. Now I'm a little closer to the ball and I keep my elbows both bent. Contact is much more consistent and after literally millions of carpet putts, almost every putt is dead straight.

      Like I said though, it may just be a personal thing. Who knows who it may work for.

       

      Hopefully I can elevate my putting by Saturday when I play with ol' Zinger.

  7. After 4 really rough holes, I was only +3 through the final 14. THAT is promising.
  8. I made a small, but apparently crucial swing change in my living room last night in my backswing rotation and it translated to my best round of the year this evening. I took a few holes to adjust to it, but shot 43-38 for an 81 with the last three holes past sunset. What's even more is that I rattled off 7 straight pars to end the night. I've never had that kind of a roll going. I am finally back to smoking the driver pretty well, so I'm finding myself hitting waaay more greens in regulation. Hopefully I can keep this rolling!
  9. I just broke my personal record by playing 48 holes today. Whoa.

      Nice work! I did 45 this year, but last year I had a couple of 54's

      I should add that doubly impressive this late in the season. Mine were in June when we can play til 9:30

      yeah we started at 8:38 a.m. and the cart girl started her shift after we teed off and left before us...

  10. Whoever does the pin placements at hckymeyer's home course is a diabolical genius who must have had a pretty serious fight with his or her spouse last night...

      they were pretty wild. fun... but wild

  11. Did anyone else just see them show/talk about a picture on twitter from ANGRYGOLFHULK!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

  12. Everybody check out the Fantasy Football thread in Everything Else. We want to get things nailed down soon for the upcoming season. There will most likely be a buy in, judging from current expressed interest.

  13. shot 41-46 today. barbajo, the new-ish putter is coming around. Now I just need to stop going with driver every time you do.

      i should add that the beer made me finish double bogey, bogey, double bogey... I WAS having a nice day.

      87 isnt nothing to sneeze at either

      Nice shooting dude. Once you get used to that putter, you'll be lights out. And I need to hit driver that often, you sure don't, Dr. Longball!

       

       

  14. The greatest set if irons I've ever bought for $50. 1983 H&B Powerbilt Momentum
  15. The one thing that sucks is that they have True Temper Tour Concept shafts, and after hitting a bunch of shots against a set of FG Tour V2s like mine, I would really want to reshaft them with regular Dynamic Golds or KBS Tours.
  16. Those Wilson Staff Fg-59s were something else. And, speaking of Staff Dynapower Fluid Feels Richard... I was at 2ndSwing yesterday and saw THIS in nearly mint condition. I need to resist trading something in for them, but I might have to give in.
  17. My Cobra AMP Cell iron review is posted, fashionably late!

  18. QUICK! I need help!! Should I play my mp-62s or FG Tour V2s tonight!?!?!?!?!?

      I wonder what would happen if I hardstepped those R Flex C-Tapers into the amp cells...

    3. hckymeyer

      hckymeyer

      I still think that is not enough shaft for your swing

      R.P. Jacobs II

      If ya gotta ask, go with the V2s :-)

  19. anyone else in the Minneapolis area looking to golf tomorrow? I was thinking about getting an 11:50 A.M. tee time.

      I'm down, let's do somewhere on the east side

  20. Cobra arrive today, whaaaat!?

    1. Mr_Theoo

      Mr_Theoo

      hurry up fed ex man!

  21. Short game cooled off today when I moved back to the back tees. Shot 87 with 36 putts. Argh!
  22. Shot my lowest round ever today. It was an ugly 37-44 for an 81. The driver was off all day, but I had some really great up-and-downs to save pars. I didn't hit nearly enough greens and with the driver not being quite as good as it has been all month, my 60* and putter really had my back. I left a lot of strokes out there and made mistakes on holes that I really should not have bogied, but I'm feeling very positive about my game right now. I'm close.
