  1. Hi there. Sorry to ping you out of the blue...  I'm writing to see if you have had any experience with the GolfTec on University up in Clive?

    I'm looking for a good fitter for a driver fitting.  I'm from Sioux City, and all we have is an Austads... I'm thinking of going to Club Champion in Omaha, or GolfTec in Des Moines - I spend a lot of time in DM...  

    Just curious if you had an experience with them, or heard anything about them. 

    Thanks, 

    Christopher

      Haven't had any experience with either specific location, but I have had a fitting at the Club Champion in Minneapolis. What I know of their process is that it's very consistent from location to location. They're brand agnostic and they're very detailed.  I haven't had a fitting at GolfTec, but I hear very good things about them. They have only a few major brands, but they do a good job. 

      Hope this helps. 

  2. I think one thing that would speed up play would be make it easier to find your ball. Some of the courses have large pine trees that are not trimmed to were you can see if your ball is under it, and some of the rough is very long were you have to be right on top of ball to spot it. While this would not solve all the slow play problems it would at least eliminate part of it.

      I'd agree -- course set up, including rough and beyond, does play a role in slow play. Hopefully the 3 minute rule (instead of 5 minutes) to look for your ball can help...

      Yep - we chose the testers last week. This one's gonna be epic.

       

  5. Anyone have the Srixon Z565 or Z765 driver in play? Thinking of moving to the Srixon from my Titleist and was wondering what everyone's opinion was.

      Lots in the forums about Srixon - I'm gaming the 565 and absolutely love it! Had a fitting at a local Club Champion a few weeks ago and tried every combo of shaft with the Epic and it couldn't beat out the 565 with the stock shaft!

  6. I played my final WJGA Tournament last monday at Sand Point Country Club in Seattle. I was 12 over on the first 9, and even on the back. I feel like I need to improve my warm up so that I don't always go so high on the first couple of holes.

    1. GolfSpy Barbajo

      We call that a "Wurzberger" after my friend Josh - horrible 9 followed up by a brilliant 9, or vice versa.

       

  7. Getting really tired of waiting for good weather here in Minnesota ... golfed on Saturday in perfect weather and now we're looking at a week of cold and rain :(

    1. GolfSpy Barbajo

      GolfSpy Barbajo

      We could call it the Dave Rave. Otherwise I'll go with Clambake.

       

      Or Cuddle. Could always go Cuddle
