A great friend passed away this weekend at only 74 years old after a 1.5 years of absolute torture where death was a relief for him. Bad golfer but fantastic human being. Golf was a social event to spend time with the guys and his wife who he was dedicated to. Now this guy was humble, respectful and honestly liked by everyone. First guy in my life where no one had a negative word for him. He was born in Virginia did his military stint in Nam earning the Bronze Star with Valor. Obviously I don’t need to go into his heroics. Joined the DEA and was part the South Miami shootouts, helped bring down the Noriega drug cartel. The list of accomplishment & accommodations are numerous. It was supposed to be a small gathering but police and special agents came from Texas, Miami & NY. Including a retired Admiral from Coast Guard who worked with this man. We lost a friend but the Country lost a great American. K, said my piece. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Sorry to hear of your loss Rick. Praying for you and all affected. 1 Quote 2020 MGS Hard Rock Challenge SkyCaddie SX400 OGIO Silencer: Followed by Arccos G410+, Tensei Orange Vapor Fly 3, Diamana Blue, Covert 2.0 3H, Kuro Kage Black Wilson D7 Irons 4-GW, Dynamic Gold AMT Glide 52, 56 ES ER2 -ProV1x (left dash) Romans 10:9 Link to post Share on other sites
JohnSmalls 6,100 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 In the midst of waiting for the D7s to come in, my coach changed my grip (weaker upper hand placement) and said to get a few hundred swings in before I'm back in for a lesson(Wednesday). Luckily a couple of my best friends will be in town for day of golf tomorrow. Nothing says 100 more swings with a new and still strange grip like 27 holes of July golf 6 Quote 2020 MGS Hard Rock Challenge SkyCaddie SX400 OGIO Silencer: Followed by Arccos G410+, Tensei Orange Vapor Fly 3, Diamana Blue, Covert 2.0 3H, Kuro Kage Black Wilson D7 Irons 4-GW, Dynamic Gold AMT Glide 52, 56 ES ER2 -ProV1x (left dash) Romans 10:9 Link to post Share on other sites

JohnSmalls 6,100 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 So this doesn't get lost in the myriad of evening posts: Big Stu is in good shape, his PC is down for a few weeks but will be back soon. Pretty sure he misses you guys for some reason or another. 8 Quote 2020 MGS Hard Rock Challenge SkyCaddie SX400 OGIO Silencer: Followed by Arccos G410+, Tensei Orange Vapor Fly 3, Diamana Blue, Covert 2.0 3H, Kuro Kage Black Wilson D7 Irons 4-GW, Dynamic Gold AMT Glide 52, 56 ES ER2 -ProV1x (left dash) Romans 10:9 Link to post Share on other sites
russtopherb 6,102 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Anyone using an app besides The Grint to generate an unofficial handicap? I don't play in any events that would require me to have a sanctioned hdcp, I walk a lot of 9 hole rounds solo so I don't think I could submit for one anyways. It's more just for me to track progress. I used to use a site online that shuttered (I'm spacing out on the name, still on my first coffee of the day) that worked with 9 hole rounds.

Fun golf “simulates” a handicap, I think it’s probably very similar to the Grint. You just enter your scores, it isn’t official, sounds like what you are looking for. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If your concern is 9 hole rounds, the grint works for 9 holes only and will calculate your handicap . 1 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* set to 16.5* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 588 54-14, 58-12 Putter: Ten S Backups: 6330, ER2.2, Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to post Share on other sites

Shankster 25,738 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Your bunker play should improve dramatically with that beachy back yard Sand is denser here. Landed in some yesterday, played it like I normally would, picked a little too clean. It ran off the back of the green, but nearly chipped in out of the rough. Saved Par. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Played in Bermuda last week and there wasn't Bermuda grass everywhere but I really liked it. I'm not one who takes much of a divot and having the ball sit up on the grass like it did was awesome. 1 Quote P G410 LST | C King F7 | C SuperHybrid | T 818 H2 | S Z785 | C ZipCore | SC Newport 3 Link to post Share on other sites

In the deep rough you may not enjoy it so much, short game from tight Bermuda isn’t really bad.
