  1. Probably about as high on the leaderboard as I'm going to get - we are fully in the rainy season here.
  2. Wasn’t expecting to be able to get out for a round this week, but the stars aligned so that weather was good this afternoon and I had finished work for the week, so I headed out to Homestead Farms. Played from the blue tees today, so had a course handicap of 15. Gross 91, net 76 for a +4. Long drive was 297, and I had 3 net birdies. Not a great round, but had a few shots that I’m really happy with, and my putting was good.
  3. I'm in - should be able to get my baseline swing speed figured out sometime next week.
  4. Impressed with Phil so far - all square with Cam Smith with 5 holes to play, and it looks like their match is going to determine which team advances.
  5. Got out to again to Raspberry Ridge to finish my round for the week - played much better on the second 9. Course handicap is 15, shot an 82 on a par 68 so net -1. Longest drive was 246 (course doesn’t really lend itself to long drives). 6 net birdies (all of which were natural pars). Overall not a bad showing, but I don’t feel like I’m playing as well as I was earlier in the summer.
  6. I got 9 in on Tuesday. We'll see if the weather cooperates for another 9 tomorrow.
  7. I'm sure there are plenty of brands that aren't on the list, but it would be great to get some more popular ones that are missing up there. PXG is the one that I noticed today (looking to update my bag comp in my signature).
  8. My 7 wood arrived on Monday, and I was able to take it out yesterday for its maiden round at the local 9-hole short course. Only had one chance to use it, but with it's first-ever swing on the 8th tee I piped one 234 straight down the middle of the fairway. I think I will get along with this thing just fine! The Tensei AV Raw Blue 75S is incredibly stable - I feel like I can swing easy or really lean on it and get predictable results either way.
  9. I played decent on the front nine, but very poorly on the back, 44-53 for a gross 97. Course handicap is 14, so that’s a net 83 (+11). 6 net birdies (all of which were gross pars) and a long drive PB of 321. I took a VERY aggressive line off the tee (you can see where the actual fairway is on the image, I went up and over the trees guarding the dog-leg) and I’m pretty sure I got a cart path assist.
  10. My new 7 wood is on route, and might even arrive before my Saturday morning round!
  11. Awesome - stability is really what I'm looking for in the wood that I ordered, so sounds like it should fit the bill.
  12. I’m getting the sense it’s impossible for you to buy something without making us guess what it is….. Saw your post on Reddit and was wondering if you were a Spy! I got the same shaft in the 7 wood I ordered, let me know what you think once you get it out on the range.
  13. Not a HIO, but I did set a new personal best with the big stick today.
  14. Just ordered a PXG 7 Wood to replace my 4 hybrid that I don't get along with - we'll see how it works when it arrives!
  15. Played 18 with my dad and two brothers on Saturday, and on the back nine we played a four-ball team match. My brother Christian and I won the first 3 holes, but then things fell off the rails for us and we were all square with 2 holes left to play. @Kieran hit his drive on 17 waaaay off to the right, but managed to hit it to about 20 feet from the far side of the other fairway, and got in for par. I was in a great position off the tee, hit the green, and was the last to putt. And when the pressure was on, I finally got a putt to drop!
  16. Played a round with my Apple Watch for the first time today (normally use the Link). Found the ease of getting yardages really helpful, and once I figured out the screens etc it was remarkably easy to use (although definitely not as feature-rich as using the phone). Two gripes though - one, the mic seemed to not do as well as the one in the Link, it only picked up a few of my putts (but at least it makes them easy to add) and two, if you approximate the pin location using your phone to get a more accurate location before an approach shot, it won't allow you to mark the pin with your Apple Watch once you're on the green. Since I usually have my phone on my pushcart, not sure if I'll stick with using the Apple Watch or if I'll go back to the Link.
  17. Out for a quick nine holes this afternoon, and on the last hole found myself with a downwind tee shot onto a sun-baked fairway. Went with my 5-iron, and hit it as pure as I ever have. Don't think I'll ever manage to duplicate that feat.
  18. Played in a charity scramble tournament a week ago - team consisted of me, my brother, my brother-in-law, and his brother. We were playing decent and had a lot more distance off the tee than most groups out, and managed to tie for first with a 56 (-16). Unfortunately we lost the count-back tie breaker, but it still felt like a good showing! And now I'm heading out to play this afternoon to test how Arccos works on my new Apple Watch that was my prize from the tournament.
  19. Rumor is that another top-10 player is heading to LIV because they are annoyed with the PGA's proposed changes and the "Rory tour".
  20. Holed out from a greenside bunker for birdie on the 2nd hole during my round on Saturday. The next hole was a long par 3 that I pulled my tee shot on. Had 30 yards from a downhill lie in the rough, hit a flop shot with my 58* that rolled up and hit the pin, but somehow stayed out. Unfortunately the rest of my game was not as good as my short game was that round!
  21. And shorts are now officially allowed on the LIV tour - the PGA won’t be able to stop the exodus now
