  6. This made me curious so I looked up my irons (Ping i25). The MPF is actually higher for the S55 (iBlade isn't listed yet) than the i25s or the newer i-E1 (current i iron), say what!!??
  7. Looks like I'm in the majority middle 🙂 - 43
  8. Would love to see any equipment that is 5–10 years old vs. current OEM lineups, especially drivers and irons, but the putter suggestions already mentioned are appealing too.
  9. When I signed up on this forum, spur of the moment I tried coming up with something golf related (greengrassdreams), but didn't like it so I changed using my first and middle initials plus the last four letters of my last name. Not very creative, but it works
  10. Yes sir, who says the guys on tour have the corner on amazing? When we mid-to-high handicappers cover all the planes and swing styles, sometimes all in one swing, and still make contact with the ball, that definitely should fall into some kind of wonder category shouldn't it?
  11. Played Saturday and again today. My ball-striking is as consistent as it has ever been. Saturday played 18 - front nine shot a 43, which matches my personal best for nine, but the back nine was a different story at 51. Today I played the front nine again and shot a 42 setting a new personal best for nine. Irish Hills is a par 71, 36 on the form and 35 on the back - my first couple 43s came on the back, which made those 8 over. Shooting 42 and 43 on the front feels even better because the front is longer and plays a little tougher or at least it did for me in the past. Hitting my driver pretty well - only 2/7 on fairways hit, but most of the others were just off the fairway and very playable and it only cost me 2 strokes (on the first two holes). Like I said, my ball striking is as good as it ever has been and it's not even close - feels like something has clicked in my swing - I didn't have a single fatted, skulled or topped ball, for me that's an accomplishment! I was able to reach 3 of the last 4 greens in regulation and parred each of these. I did have one double-bogey, everything else was pars and bogeys (4 each).
  12. Played this past Monday at a course called Willandale in Sugarcreek, OH. Shot a 91 (just 3 strokes off my best ever), but what was significant was the conditions we played in. Temps were in the mid-40s and windy when we started, but we decided to give it a whirl anyway. I was freezing by the 7th hole, but somehow managed to shoot a 43 on the front 9, which matched my personal best (second time I've done that int he last couple weeks). Warmed up a bit at the turn and grabbed another jacket. Ended up shooting a 48 on the back nine, because I had one triple and one quad. By the end of the round I could barely feel the fingers on my right hand and hanging on to the club took concentration. After we were finished, temp was down to 33 with a realfeel of 22 - the wind was just brutal - but I was pumped, because mentally it was by far the best round of golf I have ever played. I was half-frozen and miserable on one hand, but felt so alive and energized on the other. Can't wait to get back out again, but will probably be at least Sunday - we'll see. Seems I've finally found a feel that I can identify consistently (i've sought that for so loooooong) for my driver. Last 3 times out, just stroking solid, straight drives, better than I have ever done with any consistency. Wow, what a different game when not every second shot is a recovery shot. My ball-striking as a whole is much more consistent (still have a ways to go in accuracy, but progress is being made!). Playing with a little hope must be helping my putting too; working on my chipping right now, hopefully soon my scores will be dropping into some new territory!
  13. While I definitely understand your frustration, I'm on the other end of that stick. When I play well I will shoot in the upper 80's and that's only recent history (broke into the 80's last fall). This Spring, in spite of hitting occasionally through the winter and putting in some practice time before I began playing the course, I was playing poorly (even by my standards) until today: started off the same on the front nine (51), but something began to click on the back nine and I matched my 9 hole best of 43, that in spite of my irons only being so-so. One big thing, I "found" my driver again late in the round and hit some drives like I hadn't hit since last fall. So, my 94 feels much more positive than yours, simply because I'm coming from the other direction. Hang in there, I'm sure it will come back - if you're used to shooting high 70's/low 80's then you're too good for it not to!
  14. Walked nine again yesterday, was pretty windy, but otherwise nice for March in OH. My driver is an absolute adventure this spring - not going to be matching last fall's scores until that gets solved. Just don't seem to have any feel for it, on the range or the course. Trying to get a lesson scheduled to get my swing back on the improvement track. FYI: I just changed my username for the forum. When I signed up I created one "on the spot", but didn't care for it much. So greengrassdreams is now jrmull (parts of my name).
  15. Got out yesterday for 18, first full round of the year. Took my boys - shot something around 100, no feel for chipping and putting, but did hit my irons nicely for the most part - that's something I've been working to improve, so that was encouraging. 74 degrees and sunny, we had a lot of fun!

  16. Played 9 last week. Was 59 degrees when I started off. Didn't score well, but I guess I didn't expect to either since my practice has been limited, but it was just too nice not to go to the course - after all it's February! Just enjoyed a very nice sunny walk complimented with some golf :-)
  17. Bummer on the sick part, but it is great to have golf back on isn't it?!
  18. I played last week one day @ Irish Hills near Mount Vernon. Took my boys and we were in shirt sleeves for part of the round (only played 9). Didn't play well, but I figured any golf in shirt sleeves in an Ohio December is probably a sufficient enough gift. Maybe I'm too easily pleased :-) We're in NC for Christmas - anyone familiar with Red Fox Country Club (Columbus, NC)? It's scenic enough and looks like a nice course. I played 9 on it several years ago, but that's it. Used the range yesterday for an hour. From what I've gathered they might be hurting a bit. Clubhouse burned a few years ago (so I read online) and it doesn't sound like it's been the same since. Currently the course is for sale, if you know anyone looking for one, here's an opportunity! Hope to get out on the course and play it this week sometime.
  19. Went out today at Irish Hills (Mt. Vernon area), course is still in good shape, and 60 degrees in Ohio on Nov. 25 - what's not to like! Walked 9 and shot a 48 - All summer/fall I made sure to play or practice at least a little 4 times a week, but I hadn't so much as swung a club in 8 days and it showed early on. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
  20. Another day of 60 (temp) or so and sunny... in Ohio... In November! Awesome fall weather this year! Went out yesterday and today just get my rounds in while the sun shines. Had a 93 yesterday and my personal best 88 today. Played at Irish Hills (Mount Vernon), they have the course in great shape - with temps dropping and the ground a little soft, the ball isn't going as far and not much rollout, having to use a little more club than usual - but thoroughly enjoyed it!
