Keeper905 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Played yesterday afternoon and did OK. Shot of the round was after hitting my driver into the bunker on a par 5, I decided to gamble and go for it. Played a 4 Hybrid from the bunker and it worked out. Hit it solid, 200yds right in front of the green. Wish my chip was better as I ended leaving a longer first putt than wanted, so two putted. But happy with par since I was in the bunker early on. ncwoz, RollingGreens, bens197 and 2 others 5 Quote Chiller Cart Bag Stealth Plus 9° - HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 70 X-Stiff Sim Max Rocket 3wd 14° - HZRDUS Smoke Black 70 X-Stiff Sim2 Max Rescue 4H 22° - Ventus Blue 7S King Forged Tec 2020 - 5 thru PW - Dynamic Gold S400 CBX 2 54° Wedge Smart Sole 3 Sand Wedge 58° Bat Attack Battle Ready Putter 34" Tracking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR1PTIK Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Not sure what I'd consider my shot of the day, I actually hit the ball solid today (front 9 at least). If I have to pick, I think I'll go with my tee shot on the Par 3 4th at the Prairie Lakes Blue Course. It's a forced carry over water with water all along the left and brush behind the green. The pin was tucked left today which meant going directly at it wasn't an option. I decided to play it safe for the middle of the green - if I draw towards the pin, great; if I fade it away from the pin then I still have a chance for par. Wound up hitting the draw (I'd say it was intentional, but anyone who's played with me lately would know better) and sticking it about 20' right and just above the pin. Nailed the putt for birdie! I guess that's actually two shots, but I did well to narrow it down to that. You guys be the judge!

bens197 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 There really weren't any miraculous shots or darts or anything out of the ordinary today. The shot that did it for me was my tee ball on 3, it kicked off the rust and led to a nice 3. It wasn't the intelligent choice but after the way I started I figured why not. 3 is a narrow landing area on a 360 yard hole. Helper wind and I hit a 3 wood that traced the right edge of the fairway and landed right in the center of the fairway before the green. Had 52 yards in and hit a decent approach to 10' and made the birdie. All in all, a great hole but that tee shot was what did it for me.

Curtis Atkinson Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 This was from a round a few days ago but was probably the best golf shot I've ever hit. Not the best struck or ended closest to the pin, but best golf shot. Par 5 10th started with hybrid off the tee to the right. Second shot was blind and I crushed a hybrid that ended up going through the fairway. Came over the hill and saw my ball in the left rough, about 125 yards out sitting on a 45* incline right in the middle of the hill (uphill, not above or below feet) with 90% of the green blocked out by trees. Another blind shot. Typically a soft PW distance for me but with the hill/rough, wasn't sure what to do. Ended up pulling 6-iron and taking a little half swing that I hit clean, drew around the tress and would up about 20' from the hole for a chance at birdie (that I missed, but that's why it's not called shotS of the day). Never hit a shot with that much touch before. Felt like an actual golfer. bens197, sirchunksalot, RollingGreens and 1 other 4 Quote Driver: TSi2 9.0* w/ Tensei blue stiff shaft // 3 Wood: TSi3 15* Tensei white stiff shaft Hybrid: GAPR Hi 3h Irons: T300 4-PW + 48* & 53*w/ KBS tour stiff Wedge: CBX2 58*10 Putter: KS1 Ball: Srixon Z-star // Bag: DLX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollingGreens Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 166 yard to the pin out of a fairway bunker to 15 feet, caught it clean with my 7 iron and boy did it sound pure coming out of the bunker. 2 putted for par. I normally stray away from these and play it safe but I couldn't resist the temptation. have to keep the ball left of a large overhanding branch on the green, go over a green side bunker, and if you shank it your in the woods or a river 50 yards in front of you sirchunksalot, bens197, MattF and 1 other 4 Quote Stealth 2 Plus 9deg Kai' li Red Stealth 2 13deg Aldilla Rogue Silver Stealth 2 15deg Aldilla Rogue Silver JPX 921 Hot Metal 4-PW Nippon Modus 120s SM8 54 and 58deg Dynamic Gold Wedge Flex Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Titleist ProV1 Hoofer Stand Bag Stewart Q Follow Electric Caddie 300 PRO Rangefinder Official Nippon Regio B+ Driver Shaft Review Official Stewart Q Follow Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DStar Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Started playing some nice shots now! Favourite from Friday's round was a 285y Titleist 816 21° hybrid on one of my 'bogey holes'. Never play this hole well as I tend to fade my hybrid but getting much better with it and managed to draw slightly (bit of wind with me) around the corner The guys I was playing with couldn't believe it went so far!

Popular Post edingc Posted June 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2021 First swing of Sunday's round was probably the best of the entire day. Beautiful push draw right over the tree on the right side. Ended up perfectly in the middle of the fairway. This is a fun hole for me to look back on. When I first joined MGS I hit driver on this hole and usually didn't hit it as far as this hybrid yesterday.

gavinski91 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Maybe not the most technically difficult shot, but I managed to end up in the wrong side of this incredibly intimidating bunker. Took this picture after the shot and threw my glove down where the ball was - I had opened up the face on my 58* and the flop shot landed just onto the green and rolled out to 2’ from the pin for the tap-in bogey save (there were a couple not-so-great shots that led up to this moment ).

puttnfool Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Had to be either the drive on 7 or the 3wd, 2nd shot on 10. The drive was a little down wind with a right to left push... perfect for that hole. The 2nd shot on 10 was directly into the wind and I got lucky when the 3wd caught the ball a bit low on the face and came out hot. It cut through the wind nicely and rolled up to about a yard shy of the green. Chipped up with the putter and tapped in for my 2nd birdie of the day.

Chip Strokes Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 par 5 6th hole today. found myself up against the lip of the bunker in front of an elevated green i had to get the ball up, and fast. couldn’t see the putting surface or the flag, so i picked a line based off of a tree behind the green. ball came out high and soft and i knew it was on a good line. after a few seconds i hear my brother in law go “SON OF A B*TCH!” the ball pitched 4ft past the hole and spun back to 2ft for an easy par and a win on the gole. sirchunksalot, Vegan_Golfer_PNW, edingc and 4 others 7 Quote SIM2 8º | KuroKage XD 70TX SIM 3W 14º | Fujikura Atmos Black Tour Spec 9TX SIM2 5W 18º | Fujikura Ventus Black 10X U500 2i | Fujikura Ventus HB Black 10TX T100 4-PW | Dynamic Gold X7 SM6 52* SM8 56* SM8 60* | Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 DW | BGT Stability Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlow206 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Was about 110 out from light rough. Was a blind a shot because a hill was blocking view of the hole. Hit a PW to about 3 feet. Made the birdie putt. Also blasted a 3 hybrid off the tee on another hole. Piercing with a tiny amount of draw. Went at least 220. First, normally I can't hit a hybrid. Second, even if i strike it ok, it doesn't go that far. The grip change i have been working on has suddenly given me the ability to hit a hybrid.

bens197 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I've come to love the 6th at Greystone where I try to play most often. It's 140 from the blue tees over water with the left side offering a proper bailout. I like to play a cut off the left side and let it fall into the hole. Wind was down and I chose a hard wedge over a soft 9 and hit a super pretty cut that landed about 4' from the pin.

Drive wasn't the best and I smoked an 8 iron off the back and a long way from the hole, so I used the same 8 iron for a bump and run ...32 yards for the bird. sirchunksalot, Rickp, Sluggo42 and 3 others 6 Quote In the bag: Driver: Darkspeed X 9° UST Mamiya LIN-Q M40X Blue 7F4 Fairway: Apex UW 19° & 21° Project X HZRDUS Smoke RDX Black 5.5 Irons: JPX 923 HMP 5-PW UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Wedges: T-22 Denim Copper 48°, 52° & 56° UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Putter Sycamore 005 Wide Blade Bag: Fairway 14 stand bag Balls: Chrome Tour X Cart: CaddyLite ONE Ver. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Strokes Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 two shots today first up: tee shot on the 430yd par 4 second hole. hit a great 3w up the right side of the fairway. there’s a huge slope over there at about 300yds that funnels down to the hole and back to the middle of the fairway. i must have caught that because i ended up 54 yards out for my second shot. that makes a 376yd 3w next up was my 3rd shot on the par 5 3rd hole. blocked a 5i out to the right on my approach and ended up in the rough on a little hill just short of pin high. went with my 60* because there wasn’t a lot of green to work with. landed it a foot or two on, caught the ridge and funneled nicely to the hole for the best 3 words in golf: “tap in birdie” Rickp, PMookie, bens197 and 5 others 8 Quote SIM2 8º | KuroKage XD 70TX SIM 3W 14º | Fujikura Atmos Black Tour Spec 9TX SIM2 5W 18º | Fujikura Ventus Black 10X U500 2i | Fujikura Ventus HB Black 10TX T100 4-PW | Dynamic Gold X7 SM6 52* SM8 56* SM8 60* | Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 DW | BGT Stability Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
