Popular Post tony@CIC Posted May 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2021 The regional qualifier for the US Open was held at our club today. Our condo is directly adjacent to the first green - so my wife and her friends got to see a close up of the action everything from final cut and roll of the greens to the putting with each of the groups. I on the other hand was one of the volunteers ferrying the players/caddies from #10 to #11 which is about a 600 yd trek through the woods. As an FYI, this is a course that @MattF, @RollingGreens, @Mr_Theoo, @MaxEntropy, @Lakeeriegolferand @DiscipleofPenickplayed last year at our Ohio outing so I thought you guys would be interested in the scores. The set-up today was 6800 yds from the tips, Slope72.9/136. Note: weather conditions were perfect; mild temps, no wind, and partly cloudy. 1st place was 6 under, 2nd place 1 under. The next group who were in the green are currently battling it out for the alternate positions. vandyland, xOldBenKenobiX, Shapotomous and 12 others 15 Quote Left Hand orientation SIM 2 D Max with Fujikura Air Speeder Shaft Cobra Radspeed 3W/RIptide Shaft 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter V3 NX9-HD - 4 Wheel EZGO TXT 48v cart - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Vice Pro Plus 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony@CIC Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 Caleb Davem, the first place finisher will be someone to watch, he's a sophomore at Ohio State. My wife watched him drive the first green (actually past the green) on #1 which is 360 from the tips. A chip and a putt for a bird. Interestingly he was -5 on the front which is the more difficult of the two nines and only picked up 1 stoke on the back. https://www.noga.org/2021/05/17/live-scoring-u-s-open-local-qualifying-at-catawba-island-club/ MaxEntropy, revkev, BKordon and 1 other 4 Quote Left Hand orientation SIM 2 D Max with Fujikura Air Speeder Shaft Cobra Radspeed 3W/RIptide Shaft 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter V3 NX9-HD - 4 Wheel EZGO TXT 48v cart - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Vice Pro Plus 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a guy whom I have played with a couple of times, a mini tour hero, who is 25 and still chasing the dream - he shot 64 at his regional qualifier so he's moved on to the next level. IMO he lacks the temperament to make it to the big time. tony@CIC 1 Quote Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 Aldila R flex - 42.25 inches SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft Ping G410 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Srixon ZX5 MK II 5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex India 52,56 (60 pending) UST recoil 75's R flex Evon roll ER 5 32 inches It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
