Jmikecpa 13,287 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 My club opened today so I took my son to go roll some putts and hit the range...I am golfed out this week. I got some reps in just hitting some mid and short irons but something finally clicked with my son. He is a rather large 13 year old at just under 6 feet tall and now about 160 lbs. He had a propensity to not release the club well and I was able to groove that into him today and well we had him on Trackman for his last few drives and he carried 4 of the last 5 over 240 yards. Kid can get real good real quick if he keeps with it. Also spent some time rolling putts and the PXG Spitfire is getting a shot in the bag. We will see if it sticks.

PMookie 15,769 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Went to play nine, and ended-up just using it as a practice since the conditions of our public course are so bad right now. I literally had an hour-and-30 minutes before I had to get my son, so no warm-up of any kind. Kind of a waste of a day, really. Should’ve just hit on the range to get this swing solidified. Here are some pics of the course and conditions. For those that play such nice courses, come play with me here sometime and see what it’s like to have no other choices for golf!

pulledabill 2,607 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Bright and sunny here so I thougt I might play 9 after work. As soon as I left work,I decided bad idea as it was too windy for my liking. Drove by course and it was packed. Hit the range and the way the wind was blowing felt like I was in a wind tunnel so I bailee after a medium bucket. The balls did smell like bleach as the range is adding it to the ball washer. 3 Quote DRIVER: Cobra F9 10.5 Tensei AV Blue 65g 3W- Callway XR PRO 16 stiff 5W- Alpha- Mitsubishi Diamana Redboard w/band Irons- Mizuno JPX 919 Tours with S KBS Tour shafts Hyrbid- TM 4h mid-rescue Vokey- Vokey SM5 51 degrees, SM7 Wedges 54 and 58 1/2 half 3 degrees upright Putter- Taylor Made Rossa Monza Mini Spider Ball-ProV1 and AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Parsons 1,278 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I played in a tournament on Sunday, and played the best golf of my life for the first 13 holes, minus 1 double bogey. So, I headed back out to the range on Monday during lunch to work with my new wedges and make sure the driver was avoiding the left. I'm pretty sure the driver is going to be alright. I was supposed to be playing in a tournament this coming Saturday, but it's cancelled thanks to Coronavirus. When I told my wife that it was cancelled, she said "that's a bummer, but now you can work on your putting"...ouch! 3 Quote In my BR-D4 6-way King F9 set to 9*, Tour length Hzrdus Smoke Black 6.0 S-flex, with GolfPride MCC +4 mid-size 3W - 13*, UST Mamiya 65 Gold S-flex, with GolfPride Tour Wrap 2G SIM UDI 2-iron - 18*, Mitsubishi Diamana Thump 100 X-flex, with GolfPride MCC Align ZX5 4-5 & ZX7 6-PW, Modus3 120 Tour S-flex, +1/2", with GolfPride Tour Wrap 2G - SM8 Tour Chrome, 50.08F - 54.10S - 58.12D, DG Wedge Flex, with GolfPride Tour Wrap 2G Custom Fit 35" ER6 Red at 68 degree lie angle and 4 degrees of loft MTB-X NX7 Pro Slope Tracked by #WPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMookie 15,769 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Went to the range yesterday afternoon to hit two buckets of balls working on this new swing. When I swung properly, the sound off the 785s was just awesome! Getting there. Sent more video to the coach and he liked the progress. Said I can play quality golf with where I am now.

sirchunksalot 13,431 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I took a couple of wedges into my back yard along with some foam practice balls to work on keeping the short game sharp. I don't have the largest yard and close neighbors make me antsy with actual balls. The good thing is, my back yard is also not very flat. I got to work on ball above feet, below feet, side hill, and variations of all of them. I spent time with stance and opening the clubhead. I think too often we go to the range and don't prepare ourselves for the real life crazy lies we experience on the course. Also, in my case, I know I always go for a safe stock shot and have lost the wonderment and creativity of the short game. It was nice getting to play around and not worrying about the outcome.Lastly, I read over in the Titleist fitting experience thread about trying to feel like you're hitting the trail edge. I'm close.

Kenny B 29,040 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Although I played 9 holes today, I also spent some time on the putting green because I haven't been putting very well lately. With the COVID-19 virus restrictions at my course, they removed most of the holes (to spread people out) and all of the short pins. One end of the putting green had no holes at all, so that's where I went. I placed 2 tees in the green about a cup width wide, then started putting with my trail hand (right) only from 3 feet. It's not too hard to get two balls through the gate one handed; it gets tougher at 4 feet. When both balls are through the gate, I do the same thing from the other side. I repeat this for maybe 10 minutes, then go to 5 feet using both hands. When I get 2 balls through in a row from each direction, then I move one tee 90º so I'm putting from the opposite direction. It was a different practice routine for me, but it was fun. If a ball touches one of the tees, it likely doesn't go through and stops in front of the gate so I had to bring it back and putt again. It's a different look than putting at a hole, and I was not competing with golfers warming up for their round. 2 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMookie 15,769 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hit balls into my net for about 45 min, took a video and submitted it to Bridgestone for their ball fitting.

cksurfdude 9,485 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Well this afternoon I practiced being a plow horse .. pushing the (mechanical, not motorized) aerator up and down and all across our pretty large yard. This evening I'm practicing testing some tasty craft brews (yeah yeah I know there's a separate thread for that but that's what I'm practicing!)... "Huntington Harbor Hoppy" aka H3 from the local brewery. One of my all time faves! And during the current, umm, "situation" they're offering curbside pickup and delivery!!! This follows a Dogfish Head 75 Minute, which will then be followed up by a Six Harbors XPA - their version of a cross between a pale ale x an IPA. See -- good practicing, right? 3 1 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ... ..Callaway Epic Speed 4W and Epic Max 7W (both Project X Cypher) ..Callaway Big Bertha 4H and 5H (both Recoil ZTR) ..PXG 0211 6i-GW (Mitsubishi MMT) ..Cleveland CBX-2 54 and CBX 60 (both Rotex graphite) ...Edel EAS 4.0 (stock shaft, zero offset hosel, round grip) ..all in a Datrek bag on an MGI Zip Navigator electric cart.
