  1. butler's wood side course with MGS member SilentP Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy
  2. Shot a 90... breaking 90 is still my white whale. Had triple, double double on the last 3 holes. Missed a hole in one by inches. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy
  3. Thanks I've never broken 90 and all day was thinking this was the day, doubled the first hole, bogey on 2, then par'd it home. As good as I played, I sit here and think there's 3 or 4 shots I'd like back. 2 shots in particular come to mind...First hole, the scope picked up a tree 20 yards behind the green, bladed a 9 iron when I should have been using a 52 wedge. I was on 9 (a par 5 in 2) and had about a 35 footer, knew I could two putt no matter what, was disappointed we werent going to continue so I could break 90, so I didnt take time or line it up, or really even "try" ended up 3 putt par, only 3 putt of the day.
  4. Apes has always been a nickname of mine and 44 was my number (still obsessed with it) Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy
  5. Best round of my life! 39... 7 GIR, 7 Pars in a row. Wanted to finish the 18 but the front 9 took 2 hour 45 mins so we never would have got it in.
  6. Having shoulder problems... again (this will probably be my 4th shoulder surgery 2 on L, 2nd on R) Im beginning to think the last surgeon screwed it up worse. Went for the MRI, they had issues injecting the dye so they kept moving the needle around in my shoulder, didnt hurt then, but today I cant lift my arm
  7. Yesterday was a round that I debated if I'd take my clubs home. Shot a 52 on my home course, that I havnt shot over 50 on all summer, other than my first time out. I am working on tweaking my swing and really activating my hips for more power, which when I do it correct, the balls goes dead straight, however my normal iron shot is a strong draw. So when I aim straight of course I dont activate my hips as well and it slices, when I aim left, it goes dead straight. I was pin high on 2nd shots on probably 4 of my 2nd shots.
  8. Played twice this weekend, 96/93. The 93 was on my home course and was frustrating because the two holes I normally par, took a double and a triple.
  9. Following the sentiments of everyone else, PGA Tour level, not ok, weekend hacker, to some extent alright. My buddy and I talk about it all the time, the courses we play arent PGA tour kept, so the grass is missing in spots or burned out, just general things these guys would have to deal with. Most of the time we just tell the other person move the ball and dont break a club or wrist
  10. Played twice over the weekend, shot a 104 and a 94... Frustrating game for sure
  11. Running, something peaceful about running with nothing but some good music
  12. I wasnt focused on it during the roun, but after 9 (we were only supposed to play 9, I was sitting at 42, best I'd ever shot on the front 9 at this course) so I said lets continue and then the wheels fell off on 11 when I bladed a 60 yard chip shot 60 yards past the hole. Started losing control of my drive which made me try for shots that I shouldnt have been. Like I said its gratifying and frustrating all at once, that I hate this game I want to quit feeling when I saw it was 91, but then also this is the best youve ever played be happy feeling makes me want to get back out. More so just ranting to people who I know would understand, the fiance was like "you did great why are you mad" and was done with it
  13. Days like today are what make the game great and frustrating all at once. Had the best round of my life at 91 (42/49) last 2 holes on the back triple, double. Thought today was the day I'd finally break 90. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy
  14. On of the most frustrating rounds I've ever had yesterday. Local muni course known for slow play, dad and I were the first ones off in the afternoon, they pair you up with others, we got paired with a walker and you could see the after work line up starting to form. This instantly got in my head because I hate being the person to hold everyone else up (and really when you let one group play through at this course, its just a parade of people playing through) My dad and I arent slow golfers but I shoot low 90's he shoots low 100's but is always ready to play when its his turn. Felt rushed the entire time, the super slice on the driver was back, irons were off, ended up taking a 50 with a par on the last hole. Was just not an enjoyable round
  15. My dads refusal to buy clubs suited for him... He got a ping 3 wood (while he was in china) that he cant hit at all, (neither can I, mostly because its hitting a brick on a stick) and he's been using a stiff shafted 9* Callaway ERC. Hes older and has very slow swing speed. I got him a new to him driver from a friend, thats regular flex shaft and it added about 50 plus yards, but he still refuses to even consider upgrade his woods or hybrid because "I cant hit those".
  16. So maybe I am different, but I made the recommended changes and the draw turned in to a major slice. When I lowered the loft back down it went back to a slight draw
  17. Thanks for the help, I adjusted it from -.6 to +.6 so we'll see how it goes tomorrow.
  18. Im not sure what the Ping does now, the guy at golf galaxy said if you lofted up it opened it
  19. It's not a terrible slice, more of a strong draw, that works on very open courses but if there are some tight trees near the tee box I'll usually hit them. I've been hitting the fairway around 57% of the time (according to tracking app) and I've yet to end up on another hole. I had assumed it was like the old old leaf tape fix. So increasing loft will straighten that out? I thought the loft decreased closed the face more? Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy
  20. Does anyone know what weight comes standard in the SF Tec? Also if I would put a heavier weight in would it help with the straighter flight?
  21. 100 consistently the first season I started back. I have yet to break 90, I feel that this year is the year because I've come close, I just need to stop wasting strokes after a bad shot
  22. 48 on 9. Threw some shots away, had some long putts 25 ft plus that I went for the hole vs lagging up and missed big and it rolled down hill to add an extra putt back up. Par 5 9th hole, great drive, 220 out but somewhat under trees, if I kept it low I could get there, instead of just swinging normal, I tried to close the face, play it back in my stance, you know everything youre supposed to do, and I chunked it, got in my own head, sliced next shot in to the sand and it all went down from there.
  23. 95... Putting killed me, that and the course was soaked so no roll on drives or 2nd shots which made the course a lot longer
  24. If they put headphones on I'm ok with it. I dont need any other distractions as is. Although when I got to the range I'll put earphones in myself
