    How'd you play?

    in The Daily

    Posted

    Got outside for the first time over the weekend for a quick 9. VERY inconsistent with my irons, which is normally the better part of my game. Driver was shorter than usual but generally straight, which was great as I was swinging easier in an attempt to find fairways. 5/7 fairways hit. 

    A lot of my mishits were fat, which I'm hoping is a symptom of playing on mats all winter that will go away sooner rather than later.

    All in all, great day and happy to be getting outside again!

    The thought of wanting to play a Top Flite XL over any other ball is sending shivers down my spine. 

    Says one of the Hard Rock Challengers... 😉

     

    Possibly not the right thread, but it's still about a ball! Has anyone heard anything about the Genius ball OnCore started mentioning in 2017? I feel like they did a few pushes of marketing and interviews and have since gone silent on the topic. This thread and Mookie trying to sort out distances for his new irons had me thinking it'd be helpful if it ever turned into a real product.

    Who uses The Grint

    in General Q&A

    Posted

    I use Grint and think it's a great app. Easy to use and the handicap tracking is convenient. The GPS works well enough, but a few courses I play I'll lose cell service and it's number get wonky. I don't fault the app for that, just something to check if you use the feature. There is the option to download courses ahead of time as well, which is great for getting a birds eye view of the hole and measure distances to hazards. 

     

     

     

    What equipment are you thinking about?

    Epic Flash Sub Zero, and the last four shots I hit with that club in my fitting. Man.

    I ended up with an hour to kill yesterday and happen to be near a golf shop. Off the shelf the Flash Sub Zero does some great work, I can imagine a fitting would only improve results.

     

    Thinking about way too many metals/woods/fairway clubs after yesterday. Loving my Cobra F7 3/4 wood so much, I always start with Cobras and work from there. I wasn't recording numbers, but the G410 fairway woods impressed me a lot!

    My biggest gripe, as embarrassing as it is to admit, is the aesthetics. In my humblest, uneducated opinion, the graphics on the ball are not pleasing to the eye at all. I feel silly for saying this, but it translated to not having much confidence in standing over the ball, it just looks cheap - despite how well it performed.

     

    If you are interested in the Elixr and the design on the ball is not important to you, I would not hesitate to recommend this ball. Until the logo is changed, shrunk, or something else, I wouldn't buy these balls for myself.
     

    I love the Elixr, it's my game ball at the moment, and I agree with you on the logo. It's the second "C" that gets me the most for some reason, and red numbers above the text looks too blocky / stand out-ish (The grey numbers are great by comparison, but I'd be all for a simple black number). I feel like if it was limited to the "O" it'd be more acceptable to my eye.

    Putting and off the tee I have to align it so I see little to none of the logo/numbers. Beyond the logo, I do like the lines bordering "Elixr" on the side. They've served well for alignment and I no longer have to use a maker to add lines.

    Pace of Play Survey

    in The 19th Hole

    Posted

    I always enjoy slow play threads and conversations. What people enjoy and hope for when playing 18 can vary so much. It's fun to read.

    Personally, slow play drives me crazy. I lose my mental rhythm and struggle to finish a round. I don't play Tee times after 7:30am on weekends for this very reason, and will call to ask before playing any weekday rounds. If I have 5-6+ hours to play, I'd rather play 27 holes at a regular pace than sit and wait before every shot. 

    There are a lot of contributing factors to slow play. Ultimately I think the course is responsible for holding people to a pace they find acceptable. If they are OK with 18 holes taking 6 hours, I'll likely take my business elsewhere. They are not obligated to match their rules to my opinions.

    General human decency should be enough for people to sort things out between themselves on the course. If you're walking slow on the sidewalk, you don't prevent people from passing you. Why would letting someone play through on the golf course be any different. It doesn't always happen, but I find most people pretty reasonable if you approach them nicely.

    What are some of your unpopular opinions when it comes to golf?

    Maximum handicap of 18 is allowed on the course.  Yeah, sure, that seems extreme, but we have a nice big 'ol range over there for those of you who need to work on your game a bit to get down to the maximum number.  And while we're working with your game on the range we're discussing options #1 and #2 above.  Oh yeah, and if you want to play my course, you will HAVE to have an established handicap.  Don't worry, the course is open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for you to play a round with the pro, to keep score and to have your scores posted for handicap.  We have at least 3 pros available at any time during these days to accommodate anyone interested in playing a round.  "Gee Swag, I just don't have the time to do this, yada, yada, yada."  Well, that's part of the problem honestly that I see with most public courses on the weekends.  Guys out there wasting everyone else's time because they haven't ever practiced their game, and just show up on Saturday or whenever and dust off the clubs from the last time they played and expect to actually keep a ball in play.  Then they ****** about how their game sucks while playing a 5 hour round and holding everyone up behind them.

     

    I'm curious - why the handicap limit if there is such a strict pace of play? If I play the course poorly in 3 hours would anyone notice?

     

     

    my unpopular opinion - too much emphasis is placed on achieving longer distances with irons.

    Always a fun thing to think about. My wife thinks I'm boring when it comes up.

     

    Going into it it'd:

    -set up a trust for my kid(s) and hopefully grandchildren. Some rules that it's for education, first home purchases and a small yearly amount. 

    -Pay off any remaining debts/mortgage for myself, my parents and my siblings.

    -give my parents and siblings a one time life bonus for being great.

    -reduce my work week to 3 days.

    -join a local golf club.

    -start coaching youth sports again.

    And that's it. squirrel the rest away and make some yearly donations to charities in the area.

    So, in my driver fitting yesterday, I asked about which ball I should be playing: AVX that I was using to end the season, or a ball that spins more like the TP5X. Yep, based on the spin from the drivers he saw, TP5X, or something similar, should be the ball I use this year. Well. Time to trade-in some AVX!

    TXG just did a ball test on the Cut Blue and found it spins a lot, might be worth trying. $20 for a dozen is a great price point for how well they perform.

    Congrats on breaking the 100 barrier. Now just work on how to get a 5 on 17 holes and a 4 on 1 hole. If you play a course regularly look at your personal best for each hole; it will help reassure you that playing a hole well is possible. If you have a consistently bad hole, see if you can figure out a way to play it differently. Here’s hoping you get the broke 90 badge added in the near future!

     

     

    Thank you! Perhaps I misunderstood the purpose of the badge, I broke 100 last year and was late to request the badge once they were created. Are they intended for new accomplishments? 

     

    And that is sound advice, thank you. Limiting disaster holes is the crux of scoring well for me. It's not unusual for my first 6 holes to go, Bogey, Par, Par, +4, birdie, +4.
