Just did a preview of Vision Golf products on A2G including some pics for those who are interested. Some really good looking kit. Nicely done Boz!

I'm not ready to post any feedback on the balls, but I can tell you that I love the Vision Sticky glove. More on that in a review that we will post later in the week.

Played today at Crystal Woods in Woodstock, IL with my friend Eric (who was supposed to join Matt and I at Chalet, but called into work instead). Righted the ship somewhat with a 86. Didn't putt well, but I hit my driver straight and my irons were very solid today. 10/13 fairways hit and 6 GIR's.

I got to play with A2G again today at Chalet Hills in Bufu, IL. Unlike last time, I brought a little bit of game with me. Shot a 10 over 83 which included 4 penalty shots incurred from the tee (the course, as Blaine will attest, can be borderline ridiculous off the tee) and many burned edges (including a birdie putt on 4 that was halfway down). I hit 6 GIR's, got up and down 5 times, and had 7 one-putts. My iron play was better than it's been all year, which was the biggest thing for me. As I said to Blaine, "It's like the fact that I practiced the last 2 days made me better." Something to think about...
Matt played GREAT. Any other course in this area and it would have been a round in the 70's. Iron play was solid and his putting was ridiculous. It was a sight to see.
As for me, I played Chalet at the behest of a friend although it's a course that doesn't suit my eye and quite honestly plays with my head. Many bad rounds there. This round was no different - shot a brutal 101 and uncharacteristically lost my cool and my confidence on the back nine. There was one nugget - nearly Eagled out on the Par 4 5th which is the #1 handicap hole. Pured a hybrid from 205 yards out to about six inches. Best shot of the year so far. This game drives you crazy sometimes.

I won my division in our Club Championship last weekend! Played the 49-Under Handicap Division. Played as an 8.0, which was the low handicap, and shot 80-79. Was 1 stroke back after the first day, but took the lead after 1 on the 2nd day, and held it, to win by 3.
It was the two best consecutive competitive rounds I've ever played. I've scored better before, but for the way the course was set up and the way I managed my rounds, it was the best. 80-79 with no lost balls, and nothing worse than a bogey (only 1 birdie).
I am absolutely THRILLED right now, although I may have partied a little too hard for a Sunday last night!
Nicely done Tyk!

I shot a personal best nine hole score of 39 on my Dad's Texas country club course on Father's Day. We were playing a skins game and I took money off everybody. That was a good day.
-
Congrats on the 42! I'm hoping to get out this weekend...
Thanks Matt. Yeah, me too. I'm thinking about trying to make it out Sunday if the weather is OK.

Shot a season low nine hole round of 42 at Pinecrest CC today. My putting fundamentals had gotten sloppy and I switched back to a reverse overlap putting grip which has made all the difference in the world.
I'm also digging the new irons. I have to focus a little more - especially when hitting the long irons. But, that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
-
I am considering a long putter.
and bowling.

Saturday I shot 91 without hitting more than a handful of iron shots into the air (it was really that bad, Blaine will testify)
You were definitely grinding, but that's what good players do when they don't have their best stuff.
Did you make it out on Monday? We hit the range over at Randall Oaks at 8AM and they blew the sirens just as I got through a large bucket. It didn't thunderstorm until almost an hour later. I would have been pissed if I were playing because it rained for an hour after that. All those guys with early tee times probably spent half their morning in the clubhouse and then ended up taking rain checks.
-
Shot 44 on Friday. Shot 91 today, first time over 90 in a long while. I blame Blaine.
Hopefully tomorrow morning's round will feature fewer ground balls.
I'll take the blame. It was obvious from observing Matt's swing and especially his length off the tee that he is a much better player than what he showed me today. It probably didn't help that I started praising certain aspects of his game (which got him thinking about good he should be).
As for me, I shot an 88 with a triple and a double on the front. Putted horribly on the front nine and did better in that phase on the back.
Anyway, I had a lot of fun playing with Matt. Hopefully we can do it again soon (when our schedules permit).

Starting to play a lot, but struggling to round back into form. Shot an 89 last week at Randall Oaks here in the Northwest Suburbs, which is my regular track. Have had a couple of 9 hole rounds in the low forties, but otherwise this season has been pretty forgettable thus far.
One thing I've figured out this past week is my grip pressure has been way too strong causing a lot of problems including turning my draw into a hook and also a loss in distance. I was hitting the ball a half to a full club shorter and couldn't figure out why until I realized that all that tension was wreaking havoc with my swing.
-
I would try this. Adams has been raising their game for a while now.
My only issue with Adams is that their stuff doesn't hold its value and you end up taking a huge hit upon trade-in or resale when you move onto the next model. But, if you buy pre-owned or after they go on sale, then you're ok.

Where are the next changes taking place. Man, I could have used that arm wavy emoticon about twenty or thirty times by now. LOL.

Unfortunately, I checked and Illinois is very limiting when it comes to their vanity plates. Up to 3 numbers OR 5 letters only. Most of the suggestions, even if they weren't taken, wouldn't work here.

Jesus. What are we talking about work for anyways? The last thing I want to think about when I'm on here is work. Who started this damn thread? LOL.

I thought copper heads couldn't be made due to EPA concerns. Isn't that why Ping stopped making them?

Form over function? Now you've conceptualized for me why I love Ping so much and Taylormade... not so much.

Yeah, I need a devil emoticon since I am a Sundevil.

Wow. I will definitely go over to Putter Talk and throw some positive feedback Lumpy's way. This is great stuff.

I'm 41 years old and I'm a software development manager for a major telecommunications manufacturer based in the suburbs of Chicago.
I played competitive amateur golf in High School but didn't play in college. Took a long hiatus from the game and didn't pick up a stick until about 8 years ago and really only serious for the last three years. I also started my own golf website last year and that along with playing and spending quality time with the family burns up most of my non-work hours.
Before relocating to the Chicago area, I lived in Arizona for 17 years and graduated from Arizona State for my undergrad.
