Popular Post Wheelieb Posted September 9 Popular Post Share Posted September 9 2 hours ago, RonnieB said: I am down to two questions. Can Tiger win? How do I hit a 3w off the ground? The first I will say maybe. The second I will say I listened to Tiger when someone asked how to get better, and that was going to the range and beating balls. That's how I got better at hitting my 3 wood. Sometimes I use it off the tee instead of my driver because I like hitting it now.

Popular Post Javs Posted September 9 Popular Post Share Posted September 9 2 hours ago, RonnieB said: Good morning, Brethren, It is a crisp morning in the NE suburbs of Cincinnati. Leaving all the windows open yesterday evening was delightful. Played 18 at the home course Saturday evening and my putting was atrocious. I bought a laser alignment tool to help me with getting aligned in my practice this week. It will be a busy week with work and kiddo's activities, but I can feel fall coming. We will get a little heat this week and I think that will be the last of it. This is my favorite time of year to golf. I hope to get out for at 9-holes this week. I am down to two questions. Can Tiger win? How do I hit a 3w off the ground? First question a regular tour event, but not a major. Second question: swing really fast and hit the center of the club, ha ha.

However, when your group ( a 4 some) comes to #10, and slows to the point, the 4 some in front of you is now a hole & 1/2 ahead (and the hole open is a Par 5), I'm going to "ask" you try and pick up your pace because the groups in back of you are also now stacking up. Well, the leader of the 4 some took exception to being "asked" to pick up the pace. After their round, the complaint then morphed into me "Hunting" them down. The group then wanted a comp round, claiming they had a bad experience due to being "asked" to try & pick up the pace and it cart path only.

Group in front takes off as fast as they can. They went through that backup on that hole. We had one like this on one course. Ranger would bark at us like we were the only problem. He knew darn well it was a tough slow spot. Like we were supposed to forget about golf and just drive up. Almost told him to shove it. We didn't create the backup.

This is an extremely rare instance and after the round I spoke to the Ass Pro and found out the Head Pro was out for the day and the GM was assuming his duties. He offered me a free round and I declined. Too far a drive to take a chance on another unpleasant round. ... I play with some higher index players that are prone to a bad hole and we can fall behind but we always catch up the next hole. Once in awhile a ranger catches us when we are just reaching the tee after a bad hole and the other group is already putting on a par 4 and they ask us to please catch up. I let them know we had a bad hole, realize we are behind and will catch up by the next tee and Thank Him for attempting to keep the course on pace.

Popular Post ILMgolfnut Posted September 9 Popular Post Share Posted September 9 4 hours ago, Byrnzee said: I believe Tiger can win again. Maybe I'm delusional, maybe I'm not. But I think he's only going to get stronger and more capable of putting competitive rounds together. Everyone said this year was disappointing, but I actually believe it showed he's moving in the right direction. No more pain, glimpses of greatness, some decent rounds. Only time will tell but I strongly believe he'll be playing more rounds in 2025. 3w off the ground I've found most people struggle with because they try to hit up on it. I move it up in my stance (not quite as far as driver) but still try to hit down into the ball and let the club do the work. I think Tiger was better this year, but I don't think he can practice enough to win. More competitive rounds would help but he needs to grind it out at home first. As for the 3w, or any other fairway wood, I agree on hitting down on it off the deck. I hit my 7w better than the 3w, but the approach is the same on both. I've actually had some success with DoD with the same approach, especially on bouncy fairways. Got my blood work done at noon, might have results before my appointment on Wednesday. My boss just buzzed me wanting to send me back to Baltimore this week, but not sure I've done all the training needed for that assignment, so I'm trying to check on that. So there may be a sudden road trip in my immediate future. Cfhandyman, Northern Monkey, Woodrow72 and 12 others 15 Quote Obsessed with chasing the dimpled orb.

Popular Post BIG STU Posted September 10 Popular Post Share Posted September 10 16 hours ago, ILMgolfnut said: Maybe I need to look into the Newtons. I even get ads for them on YouTube TV from time to time. The fitter suggested BGT Brava for my driver, but even though we looked at multiple shafts from multiple manufacturers, we didn't look at anything from Newton. And the Newton is half as expensive as the Brava. (I just checked with my fitter; he doesn't have access to Newtons.) I'm right on the CHS borderline between 2-dot and 3-dot, I think. My bud who is one of the smartest guys I have ever met (no joke) does his own research. He ordered his Newton Shaft right from the company TM adaptor and all. After talking to him and hitting his driver I went on the site. I would say a 2 or 3 may be right for me. Only problem for me is my Cally driver is so old I do not know if they have an adaptor for it. I have and can pull adaptors but I do not know. Mine is so old that you cannot see the settings. I bought that driver for $50 for the shaft intending on putting it into my Honma g-1X driver since I do have another very rare adaptor for it. I hit the Cally on the range to see how the shaft felt and performed. I hit it so well I regripped it and put it in the bag and it has been there ever since. Never have messed with the settings or the gravity core. I have never statically measured the loft or the face setting nor the lie. Some things especially when they work I do not want to know. The Honma design is about 6 years old now and it hits good just the stock shaft is a little much for me now. What my deal is now is the fact if I go Newton I may need a new head. Right now I really do not want the expense or the trouble of dialing in a new shaft and head. Like I told the wife I have 4 different metal drivers and countless persimmon. At this stage of life and my golfing life if all my metals go South for some reason I may go back to persimmon. Oh I am not broke by any means but in the practilibility of my mind right now I cannot justify the cost and trouble. On another note--- My driver cover came from a course in your area. River Landing and it is a 25th anniversary. I was supposed to play a event there in 2021 but was laid up and could not play. My bud played and gave me the cover. Been on the driver ever since.

The day and week started off with a bang, with the birth of a grand daughter. Mother is doing fine and my wife, aka the artist in residence/SWMBO is over the moon. Literally, lol. @Northern Monkey delighted to hear your pup is recovering nicely and thanks for sharing. @GolfSpy_APH looking forward to the head cover release. They should be epic and I suspect will sell out quickly.

Popular Post BIG STU Posted September 10 Popular Post Share Posted September 10 14 hours ago, rkj427 said: @tdroma98 I don't know if "fragile" is the correct word, more like DISRESPECTFUL and ENTITLED. See more of that by golfers who think that they paid their money to play and should be free to do whatever THEY think is best. Correct I know a lot of guys who ranger here. BTW our course does not have rangers. Most rangers here are told to TRY to keep things moving but under no circumstances are they to PISS OFF THE TOURISTS. Down here in this Tourist golf Mecca most are arrogant and feel they are entitled since they pay big fees to play. Most of them have the attitude that he only reason we are able to live at the beach is because of them. I will let them know in a heartbeat that they have nothing to do with my retirement and we survived fine in the 08 recession and the recent pandemic. My course where I am a member is not on motel packages and is more geared toward seasonal snowbird members who are a older and more refined bunch and slow but not arrogant. Sometimes we get the walk in overflow bunch which can be arrogant and entitled. Last winter we had played the league in the AM as SOP for the member's league. It was a nice day and we scheduled a 9 hole round at 2 PM. We were on the patio eating lunch and one of those "Hats" remarked "I guess you guys hate all of us tourists". I shot back naah because you guys keep our YEAR ROUND membership and food costs down. Besides Members here can bump any tee times we want to at any time. Oh man that pissed him off and they quietly and quickly left. We can do that on the tee time bump but most of the time we do not because we want the course to make money and thrive since it is a family owned and operated venue and it does keep our costs down. Besides the leagues have priority tee times every weekday morning. Yeah being a ranger can be a 2-edged sword down here. I can see some rangers being grumpy after walking a thin line and dealing with the arrogant entitled A-holes. One thing down here even the fact that we do not have as many courses as we once did there is still over 90 courses in the "Grand Strand" area and so the competition is still there. Plus with social media these days people post experiences good or bad. Trust me all course managers know and constantly monitor social media. Even though my course is not pristine I am a member simply because we are not package themed and have a strong loyal membership base and I like it there away from most of the mainstream Cfhandyman, sirchunksalot, IndyBonzo and 8 others 11 Quote Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- - 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R---- Irons 5 thru PW 1980 Macgregor VIP Hogan Apex steel shafts--- SW -- Cleveland 588 56* S-400 Sensicore --- LW Vokey 58* SM5 L grind--- Putter 1997 Scotty Cameron Santa Fe Fluted Bulls Eye shaft--- Bag TM Flex Lite Stand---- Yeah I know only 11 clubs G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
