Forgot to post here...I had my first 300 yard drive.  There's an asterisk involved; I cleared the river but the bridge is up on a little hill.  The ball landed somewhere on the cart path on the decline after the bridge and kicked forward pretty good.  But hey, 300 is 300!

First rule about cart path club... You don't talk about cart path club...

You knew what you were doing. Course management at its finest lol

I typically hit fades with my driver, and very rarely try to draw it. On this par 5 today I figured it'd be a decent enough time to try. Big trees guard the left side, and it's a decent uphill jaunt to get up by the corner. There is a good payoff for pulling the shot off, but not a huge penalty if I fan it out right, because you can play up the adjacent fairway.

Gave it a rip and it was a beautiful baby draw, maybe 5 yards. Fairway runs off to the right so it barely caught the rough. Felt really really tidy, just a really good swing!

... I was writing a review for the adjustable Cobra Utility and the very first time I hit it on the 314yd par 4 8th hole at Encino in LA, I almost drove the green. Just a nice high slightly downwind tee shot that I hit dead center, not only the club face but the fairway as they use a concrete square for the 100 yd marker and I landed right on it. Ball must have bounced 30 feet in the air as well as a good 30-40yds farther down the hard fairway and rolled out. Sadly because it was a review, I had to admit the distance was a product of the 100 yd marker but the accuracy was aaaall the club.

My shot of the day was a T200 9 iron 122metres, miss birdie by quarter inch!!! Actually do it regularly on the 9th hole because I can’t see the green there’s a hill in the way lol, not that good if I can see the green mind over matter huh….

[gavinski91]

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!

[Sluggo42]

Chunked a 3 wood on the par 5 I birdied yesterday, which left a 140 to the pin-

hit a good 8 iron to about 8’, and birdied the hole again. Funny thing was 3/4 of the guys also birdied it today.

8 iron worked well today

#17 Par 4 at Windmill. Not a bad drive into the left rough leaving about 185 to the middle. Pushed a 5 188 into the right rear bunker. Chopped out of the sand badly.

PW from 22 yards straight into the cup for a 0 putt par.

I wish mate, pure and simple, it was luck. But, it's better to be lucky than good!

14th hole, wet and windy. Ugly Neely cut off the tee. Weird almost topspin 8 iron that barely got 10 feet in the air. Ran about 60 yards despite the extremely soft conditions. Finished 35 feet past the pin. Rolled the putt in for a birdie. Broke my playing partners hearts

[ncwoz]

Two shots of the day.

First was on the 4th hole, par 5. My tee shot leaked right, and ended on a downslope bare lie. I had about 100 yards left, over a pond. Tree branches were hanging above and had to clear some cattails. I played it too low at first, and it hit the cattails and into the the pond. Took a drop, and was able to get a line without branches above me. Stuck my next shot to about a foot for an up and down par save!

And then on the 8th, I had to chip out from the left side after a wayward drive. Didn't quite chip out far enough, and still had some tree trouble. Was 170 out, so closed down my 9 iron and tried to hook it around the tree. Felt great, and stuck it to 5 feet! Missed the putt, but converting 1/2 of those up and downs and having really good chances at both is way more than I would have hoped for!

[Sluggo42]

It was a day for the wedges from 90-100 yds. Had 3 just like this last one on 18 for the -1 round. Lots of divot repairs today

[Sluggo42]

Todays favorite shot was a simple 25 yd chip that got pin high on a front pin location. It allowed a birdie opportunity that fell into the hole. 

[Sluggo42]

Fairway woods ruled the day, can’t remember a single one that wasn’t a really good shot. And importantly, a few needed to turn, which they did… so yea baby!

[Sluggo42]

Actually… a true “shot of the day” was a simple 49 yd wedge over a trap to a very thin slice of the green, to about a foot, for a kick in bird. 
this shot of course followed one of my fairway wood shots (cobra king SZ) 3 wood, that I used to rescue a severely pulled (but long) drive on a par 5. It was an uphill/side hill shot that needed about 50 yards of a cut to land back into the fairway, and miss the 2 bunkers…

P.S. did I tell you I love my fairway woods?

Feels great when you try to work the ball and it does, especially with those longer clubs!!

Yesterday #11 Par 3 Dyes Valley at TPC Sawgrass. Playing from the blues 211 yards on paper. It was playing about 240 with the wind in the face.

Driver, yes, driver to about 15 feet.  2 putt for par.

[dlow206]

Had two shots of the day.

Par 3, 175 yards downhill, range finder said playing like 167. Hit a high slight fade with a 7 iron, tracking right on line of the hole. Ball landed, and barely missed rolling in the hole.

Par 3, 189 yards uphill, 5 hybrid, hit a high fade, hit it to 10 feet. 

[sirchunksalot]

This is from yesterday playing the 7th at Brainerd. Hit a shot that nestled into some tall grass on the right side of a bunker. Ball slightly below my feet. Blasted a 56 to two feet.

Laughable hole for me on Saturday.

Par 5. If you hit it far enough the ball hits a downslope and can really run out.  

Well, with a little wind at the back, I did just that and hit the dry New Jersey soil and left myself a measly 117 yards into the green (almost a 400 yard drive!!)

had a straight forward gap wedge into the green -- which I prcoeeded to SHANK  almost pin high into the adjacent fairway (ball flew over some tall native grass).  I was pissed, but I grabbed my 58 and did the walk of shame to down to my ball.  Had about 75 yards left and I could only see the top of the flag stick because the shot was so up hill.

Hit it to 4 feet and made my birdie.  Just how I drew it up on the tee box!

Drive of a life time, shank, incredible lob wedge, tap in birdie!

Textbook birdie on the card Lukes!!

My other two shots of the day from yesterday were so good, i didnt even count this as my best shot. This was on another par 3

 

[Sluggo42]

Hit 2 drives over 280 today- average drive for many of you, but for this chubby little 66 year old, dems be bombs!

Much bigger than my bombs sir..

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.

That’s unfair lol

3rd shot into the par 5, 17th hole. 77 yard, 60° wedge to within 4 feet for birdie... It was a knee knocker thanks to missing quite a few putts due to bad reads and speed that day. Fortunately I made the bird. I need to practice some putting though.

[Sluggo42]

Got loose with a drive that hit a tree and left me 208 to the pin, and a postage stamp sized window to get there.

my epic max 5 wood decided he was up for the challenge and drilled it. Love those fairway woods
