11.8! Up yours 12.0

11.8

Totally stuck at 12.0 with random parts of the game on or off any week. Always making the same score. I should just engrave that damn 12 on my irons. 12 12 12 12 12 12

Looks gross, but if it works for someone who cares?

Ordered a new cobra fly Z+ yesterday morning, had lifetime long drives with my SLDR that afternoon. Convinced that clubs know what's coming in the mail and that they then start behaving better.

today I impulsed a SLDR fairway ($57 shipped from 3balls.com) to go with the new SLDR hybrids from two weeks ago and rediscovered SLDR driver from the garage. Stupid long. Redonk-u-long Old TM is the best TM it would seem.

First round of men's club this past weekend. First GHIN tournament ever. Shot 92 The upside of this number was: couldn't hit a put inside of 6 feet. Couple holes went from birdy putt to bogey. Like 3 of them. carded a 10 on a par 4 hole. Bad swings, bad sand breaks, and a skee-ball pin placement. First 10 ever, and I was lucky enough to get to turn in the card after. I feel like I gave away 8-10 strokes, so not totally discouraged by the 92... Nerves, and putting, will be better next month.

Curious about this one as well. Something shafted with a Matrix shaft has been on my to do list for a while. Had an Edel with the UST Frequency Filtered shaft and that one definitely had a different feel. Good different, I'd say, but didn't game/keep it long enough to know for sure. #putterho

I know that my Sun Devils didn't take them seriously enough this season. Hope they win out too!

You bet it does, though I'll be going Clicgear rather than on the back

You are my new hero Hate to ride btw. Beer is not that heavy and my bag has a big pocket...

Go Sun Devils! Pac-12 South is brutal this year though. So tough.

Nice read and a real nice looking putter!

Well done! That's a big deal indeed. Next is 85…

Come on arrow I think that there is something there that just doesn't match up with me right now. Maybe I'm a bit all over the place with the swing, or maybe the struggles that I had during the fitting led to a poor fit. It's hard to say. When I was playing the burner irons, I had been fit into the standard specs, so I have high hopes. Come on 2010 tech FWIW, I would look at the more recent TaylorMade irons too, but the slot feel is not my favorite and RBZ was a cosmetic no-go. Thus back to Burners...

So I was also playing with a friend who bought my old 2009 Burner irons from me. My i25's and myself have not been communicating well these days. Coming up short. Really short. Like 135 yard 5i short. As I was bitching about it, he suggested I hit his irons to see if it was a gear issue rather than my swing issue. After hitting a few shots with the Burners, it was pretty clear that it's likely a gear issue. Old irons = old distances. Go figure. I ordered a set of the Burner 2.0 irons from GG for $299 as soon as I got home. Then I impulsed into a green Bio Cell driver. I am liking the Bio Cell Pro quite a bit, but that green just sucked me in. Not the Master's limited, just the Dicks/GG exclusive. It was total impulse. We will see on that one... They have some sales going so it was irons+driver+overnight shipping for about $490

I just finished a round with Golfspy Tim and I played so well that I just made a $500 online purchase at Golf Galaxy. Yep, that was a round for the ages. Nothing like figuring out that you are fighting your equipment...

New black versions of the SuperStroke grips are coming. What do you think? WIXOM, Mich. - SuperStroke, the leader in oversized grip technology and most popular oversized putter grips on tour, is releasing its much-anticipated Midnight Series grips featuring darker colors. The new grips are designed using SuperStroke's patented parallel technology and feature the same profiles and sizes of the original grips. However, unlike the company's traditional white-based grip color scheme, the Midnight Series are black or silver-based. SuperStroke's 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 5.0 sizes are now available in a new black-based with white or the silver-based with black color scheme. The company's two most popular sizes, 2.0 and 3.0, are also available in a black-based grip with red color scheme. The Midnight Series grips are the same price as the white-based grips and are available at all retail outlets. "Over the years we've had many requests from consumers for a darker based color scheme," said Jon Luna, SuperStroke USA Marketing Director. "Although we're known for our white-based grips, we wanted to give customers what they wanted." SuperStroke's unique parallel shape allows for even pressure in both hands, while eliminating added tension in the wrist and forearms. This helps the golfer's arms swing more freely, which further enhances a pendulum-putting stroke. SuperStroke (superstrokeusa.com) grips are long lasting and extremely shock absorbent. They are designed with a high-tech polyurethane material featuring cross traction technology that improves feel and tackiness. Combined with SuperStroke's patented parallel technology further increases consistency and lowers scores for every level of golfer, even professionals.

Here is one photo of me that didn't make the cut for today's PING article. What a fun trip!

As we get started on the new golf season, let's get some photos up! Here is one Golfspy Tim took of me yesterday. I'm the skinny one on the right Now I just need to figure out how to not go 47 on the back after a solid, two lip-out, 40 on the front...

I wish that the whole thing was black. I wish there was a whole black sabertooth for that matter. and I wish for world peace, of course.
