    How'd you play?

    in The Daily

    Posted

    That's still a good score considering all the bad that happened. Means you put up a bunch of pars and possibly birdies so you gotta take the good with the bad.

     

    Do you mind telling the story of the quad for entertainment purposes?

    No birdies on the day. Wasn't unhappy with the rest of the round, just my short game.

     

    Here is the situation. Playing skins with 4 others and the hole is a 553 yard par 5 playing downwind. Hit great drive and I am about 250 out from the green. All the other players hit poor second shots. I pull 5 iron to basically layup and avoid trouble, but listened to one of my playing partners who said that I should see if I can reach in two. Stupid me switches to 3 wood. I end up hitting the 3 wood fat and with and open face and push the ball right into the water. Drop puts me 150 out. Played for the middle but ended up flying the green by about 20 feet. Blade the chip shot into the bunker on the other side of the green. Leave next shot in the bunker. Hit 2nd shot from bunker to 10 feet. 2 putts for a solid 9.

    Although that may have been painful, thanks for sharing. What a ride. Never listen to advice from someone telling you to go for it that.....

    A. You're playing against

    B. Just hit a bad second shot

    Missed 2 fairways and hit 9 greens and I end up shooting 44-43=87. 3 holes contributed to most of is the issues where I had a quad and 2 doubles. The doubles were the result of OB shots and the quad was the result of a ball in the water and some horrible shot game play. Was generally swinging the club well, but just couldn't convert when I missed the green. I really need to do something about my short game. Today I ended up hitting the ball thin several times. I am pretty sure I am flipping my hands resulting in my hitting the middle of the ball. Right now at a total loss on what to do. I drop balls on the chipping green and hit them well; just can't execute on the course. It is so frustrating especially since the other aspects of my game are working pretty well :mad: :angry: :( :unsure: :wacko:

    I also had this round a couple days ago. My best in about 17 years! [edit - This was from the championship tees, 7030 yds, and the eagle on 11 is a 625 yard par 5, rated 2nd hardest hole on the course.

    Was this with the i200s or the Hogans?

    Got Problems?

    in The 19th Hole

    Posted

    With you Dan. I used to book appointments for a baseball training facility and I'd get these calls

     

    Customer: What time do you guys open? I'll be there first thing

    Me: 8am

    Customer: Oooo that's too early, how about 1030?

    Me: OK booked

     

     

    Then they don't show up till 12 and wonder where their space went.

    Very entertaining today to say the least. I had one stretch with three doubles in a row and another one with seven pars in a row. The three doubles in a row were all contributed by snap hooks. The good thing is I'm close to eliminating the frigging ducks. ;)

     

    43 + 40 =83

     

    But at least those putts are rolling in like butter right?

    Superstitions

    in The 19th Hole

    Posted

    I used to get all psyched up for rounds that were important to me and take great care to make sure my personal hygiene was handled to a tee with my freshest clothes. I think I was taking it too serious because I never really played that well.

     

    Now my superstition is to not try that hard. Seriously. I make it a point to just wear casual clothes and tuck in the shirt sometimes and just.... You know..... Whatever. No sweat just playing some golf brah.

    Actually, I don't believe in the superstitious mumbo jumbo stuffs on the course, as long as I have only the same size white tees in my right pocket and same number on the ball on my left and occasional flip the my Oakley upside down when putting uphill.

    So you're a simple man huh? Easy peasy

    What/How Did You Practice Today?

    in The Daily

    Posted

    Practiced putting for a whole hour today. Wanted to get my stroke feeling good in case I get chosen for a certain....thing.

     

    After a general warm-up, focused on one hand putts, different gate drills, lefty cleanup, and finished with lag-n-makes. Unfortunately I had more 3 putts than I would like.

     

     

    side note: I used impact tape the whole time. What's the point? You don't swing a putter hard enough for it to make a mark.

    Whats your best joke?

    in The 19th Hole

    A Reverend skips church to play golf. He comes to a par 4. Hits his ball wide right.

     

    An eagle comes down, picks up his ball and drops it in the water. A fish spits the ball forward. A squirrel grabs the ball and drops it as he crosses the green on the way to his tree. A gust of wind blows the ball near the hole to the edge of the cup. Just then, a bolt of lightning shakes the earth and sky and the ball goes in for a hole in one.

     

    Watching all this transpire, Jesus looks at God and says "How could you let that happen??? He skipped church!" God replies "Who's he gonna tell?"

    Music on the Course

    in The 19th Hole

    Posted

    I'll turn it down if I have to, but I'm firmly in the music is good camp. At any given time we will have at least 3 speakers going in a round. Yes they are probably too loud, yes 3 songs going can get weird but we don't really care.

     

    I'll turn it down if we come up on a group but otherwise I want to hear the music. Make golf fun, play music, drink a beer or 6. Shoot the s*** with your buddies. It's a game and it's time away from the kids to hang out with my buddies. I'm going to enjoy it.

    True. But different people definitely enjoy golf in different ways. I'd have a hard time concentrating (and thus enjoying it) with that much commotion going on. One song and a beer would be my limit.

    OFFICIAL FORUM MEMBER REVIEW - CALLAWAY GBB EPIC DRIVER

    in Forum Testing Reviews

    Posted

    This is one review I'm anxiously waiting on. It wasn't long ago I went and demo'ed the Epic with my intentions set on buying it that day. However, I really had a problem hitting it consistently that day. I think it was due to a couple of factors. The first being I just wasn't hitting the ball well then and the second was the guy that was "fitting" me for it. He's a friend of mine that owns the local golf shop and I think he was more interested in trying to get me to buy it than actually give me the right club for my swing. He was giving me a regular flex and I've never hit a regular flex before. Then he was changing the settings on the head to something I've never used before because according to him, that's what I needed to be hitting. I walked away not buying it, but to this day, I still want it pretty badly.

     

    Ah that sounds like it was painful to walk away.

    OFFICIAL FORUM MEMBER REVIEW - PING i200 IRONS

    Posted

    Stage 2 is up guys! https://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/20071-official-forum-member-review-ping-i200-irons/?p=301216

     

    I am cobbling together a video which I will add ASAP!

    Well it's about time!!!!!

     

     

    Just kidding. Great review! I've never heard of the Hogans either and it was interesting to hear the comparison. It's funny that the fun-to-play factor mattered more to you than raw scoring.

    What/How Did You Practice Today?

    My practice area really isn't all that great. But the range tee box is 60 yards wide. I pace off the yards and use a range bucket as my target.

     

    Every once and a while I go to to the other course theirs an actual practice area, but it's full of A-Holes, so I try to avoid them at all costs. It's always full.

     

     

    - Alan

    So you've gotta hope the range is totally empty? You ever hit it in the bucket?

    The Bionic one I just picked up has the black palm, and I like it. It won't wear (or look wore) as fast. I will definitely shoot for those styles from now on.

    Relaxed grip? I love those. Been using the same one since mid season last year and I never switch during the round.

     

    It feels really weird to go back to a normal glove after using those too.
