  1. My buddy Lennox that passed a few years ago. He was my doggy before kids and my best buddy for 11 years. This is him doing one of his favorite things...riding in the wind with the top down.

    When I moved from Nevada to Missouri for senior year of high-school I needed an snail to ry and keep in touch with friends in Nevada. We would call one of my buddy's in Missouri evershady. Because he had an

    Everlast beard 

    and a slim shady haircut 

    So I stole that as my email and have used it for screen names.

  4. Remember at the beginning of this season when I said I was gonna start posting in here? Well it's end of season and my second post lol

     

    My quest back to even is close but not gonna happen this year. Swing rebuild just won't stick for 18 holes lol

     

    Anyways after what may have literally been a foot of rain on Saturday, cleared Sunday morning so we snuck out. It was fricken mucky so played the whites, but I still managed a 38-38 76 with 2 birds, 26 putts with an almost non-existent swing. I've never scrambled so well in my life and there were 1 putts galore!

     

    Oh and I used my 4th putter this season which was the same Odyssey CS #2 I used from 2005ish to early 2013

     

  5. Sorry for my lack of input in the past, but I'm going to get involved with this thread in 2014

     

    Vacation last week - 2.5 rounds

     

    I took with me an untested course swing since rebuild lessons began 2 months ago - found it very hard to get 100% comfortable over any shot

     

    Borrowed clubs off aotearoabrad which he either had or scrounged up for Nidine & I - alternated between Cleveland CG4's and Adams CB3's irons, a whack of drivers and no putters I was 100% comfortable with. But hey who's complaining I didn't need to rent or haul our clubs along for the trip.

     

    Round 1 - Turtle Bay Palmer course with aotearoabard!

     

    Shot 85 off the plane while losing 8 balls playing the CG4 irons with graphite shafts. Yes I couldn't hit the driver in the fairway to save my life or make a put for that matter and still pulled off an 85. My short irons were pretty money and I almost jarred it on 15 for an ace. As Brad describes it I jibba jabba'd about distance, wind, elevation etc but then stepped up and hit the exact shot I called. I had lost sight of the ball but both Brad and Nidine screamed "You hit the pin!" Did not make the 8 foot birdie putt however, but suspect if I hadn't hit the pin I would have been a foot from hole judging by ball mark. I did manage to chip in on the 3rd hole for birdie with a great shot considering the right to left slope I had to navigate.

     

    Round 2 - Kahuku GC

     

    9 hole links right on the ocean, fairly easy but I can imagine if the wind was up it could beat the snot out of ya. Once again the CG4 irons and tried the Hybore driver that came with it. Fairways were uber wide so hitting them was easy, irons were 90% on but I did pull a couple bad ones. Putter let me down, but this was to be expected. However at the end of the day a 3 over 38 I can live with.

     

    Round 3 - Royal Hawaii GC

     

    Set in a mountain valley where 10 feet off the fairways was jungle. All drivers I attempted were 20 yards deep in the bush and had lost 4 balls i the first 2 holes. From there on in I stuck to placing long irons in the proper layup areas the rest of the day and manage to pull off an 82 on an extremely difficult course that was hit but torrential rain showers every 20-30 minutes. Most shots were a mud bath, but the scenery more than made up for the minor inconvenience. In all I lost 6 balls but started to get a good feel for the new swing changes over the back 9. I shot 4 over 40 on the back but feel with better putting and 1 drive back it could have been 35.  

     

    Look forward to sharing my rounds with you guys the rest of the season.

  7. Hey all,

    Broke 85 for the first time ever yesterday (45,39 for an 84). New course for me and it was a bit up-and-down (my ball striking), which is fine as I know that I have a good deal of room for improvement:

    Picture1.jpg

     

    I rushed three short (~2ft) putts trying to 'finish them' - probably should have learned from the first missed one, but didn't... I need to make a conscious decision to employ the same routine over putts IRRESPECTIVE of length I think. I also chunked a handful of chips, so those two areas are definitely top of my practice list from now on.

     

    All-in-all, very happy to have broken 85 and have a renewed enthusiasm!

     

    That's pretty awesome breaking 85 dude.

  8. I'm gonna be a bit cheeky here and take advantage of the fact that MBP is a stand up gent... If any of our new reviewers (JGolf, WDGOLF, Mr_Theoo, Rickles, SuperTuna) need some guidance or assistance with the graphic design elements of their reviews, I'm sure that Dan won't mind giving you some help. I love looking at the end product, but I have a sneaky suspicion that he actually likes creating it).

     

    I'm sure Dan'll tell me to 'shove it' if my offer on his behalf is out of place! lol.

     

    I'd be all over this. Hit me up for anything.
