JAYER38 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Was a tough round yesterday... Took 3hrs to complete the front 9 and 1.30hr to finish the back 9. Front 9 was due to groups waiting for the entire hole to clear(YES even on par 5's) vs hitting when able to... Made it tough to get a rhythm going but the random 2 we got paired with were easy going and social so made it fun while waiting. Alot of groups called it quits after 9 so we cruised right thru the back 9 getting a decent rhythem going and some letting us play thru. After all the rain we have had this week bunkers were mushy/water filled junk and anything downhill was just mud but it made it extra challenging forsure! The rest of my irons will be here today but played with what I had...Driver, 3w, 4h, 7i, 48/52/58 wedges, and of course my new Cleveland HB Soft 8 CS putter. It was a good time and actually made me think of placing the ball vs just getting as close as possible using the clubs I had. Driver got me in the most trouble with unplayable/lost off the tee. Still working on that paying closer attention to take away and impact. Wedges were fairly dialed, 100 yard in I was within 7 yards of the pin most of the time. Gave away a few putts as greens were aerated and healing(seems to be a theme in my area right now) MattF, cksurfdude, William P and 2 others 5 Quote DRIVER Paradym Ai SMOKE MAX D w/ Mitsubishi Tensei Blue 65-R 10.5* WOOD STEALTH 2 Plus 15* w/ Mitsubishi Kali Red 65-R 42" 15* HYBRID Big Bertha 19 w/ UST Recoil DART 75-S 20* IRONS TS3 Forged 4i-PW w/ True Temper Score LT 100-R WEDGES Glide Forged Pro w/ ZZ115-W 48*/52*/58* PUTTER HB SOFT 8 w/ Center Shaft 3* Check out my Tests...

Jim Shaw Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 18 hours ago, ClevelandGirl said: I was so close to breaking 90 it’s not funny! New personal best of 45/46=91! Played Thunderbird Hills South with the lads and despite the 5:45 wake up time, we had a great time. I only lost one ball (on the 18th too), and only because the rough was near water so it was a bit thicker and it pulled my club face open. Made the boys play from the forward tees (only one of us should be playing back anyway) and everyone scored well and my lost ball was the only lost between the four of us! My driving wasn’t the best on the front 9 (29%) but turned it around on the back 9 (71%). AND I had 5 pars with one blow up hole each 9. I even sank a few long putts! The view from the reds: 58 yard par 3 and it befuddled the lads. They went 5, 4, and 4, while I walked off with a par . The short distance threw them off I guess. I got distracted bird watching - several water birds were diving for fish and it was a beautiful aerial display. Usually we’re a Sunday threesome but the 4th is always reserved for Dennis who is hard to schedule and had several painful injuries. We usually dart about teeing up his ball or retrieving it on the green. So he picked up this device to allow him to tee up the ball himself, and pick up the tee, and it was pretty brilliant actually. He was so delighted not to be dependent on us at the tee. Another gorgeous hole on the water - those are lily pads, and not a field of edamame. Speaking of which, that’s what’s for my celebratory dinner! congratulations on your personal best... your goal of breaking 90 is just around the corner...

sschristie Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Walked 9 holes at my local Moose Lodge course - it's cheap practice and I can always get on - and were in not for the downpour on my last hole I could have had my personal best there. But still managed a 44. I hit all three par 3 greens and saved par or bogey on holes that I had a bad shot or bad second. Felt good after the last three rounds that I haven't been able to figure out any part of my game.

mwade4040 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Hello All, 2 rounds this weekend. Firs round was a 75 on Sunday and then a 79 on Friday. Local courses in SE WI area. The 79 was actually a better round than the 75 due to the severity and speed of the greens. Overall ball striking has been good but I sure wish I could find some consistency with my driver...omg! Need to lower the ball flight somehow...open to any suggestions....Hit em straight!

Boris119 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I will stat by saying I am new to the site. I am returning to golf after a 10 year break where I did not even touch a club. When I quit I was playing the Mizuno JPX 850. I started playing again in May of this year. I had a 9 handicap 10 years ago. The first few rounds I was awful in May. I could not hit any of my irons with any consistency. I am sure it was I lost my swing but of course as usual I blamed the clubs. At that point I purchased a set of Cobra King tour irons. After 2 rounds I was striking the irons with more consistency. And was bringing my handicap down to around 8 at this point. I have also won 3 closest to the pin recently. Is it the irons or am I regaining my old swing. Probably both. But the mental part of the game likes these irons better than the old ones.

Popular Post jbern Posted July 29 Popular Post Share Posted July 29 Played in a scramble over the weekend! Winning score was -17, 55. My team shot -11, 61 which was good enough for 6th place out of 24 teams. Very respectable considering a lot of the teams had collegiate golfers. Scorecard below: We didn’t take advantage of any of the Par 5s and missed the green on a few 80-120 yard approach shots. Otherwise, the day went decently. I was personally pretty pleased with my play. My driver was on and was laser straight all day. We used 10 out of 14 of my drives. My short game was also very good. I had two near miss chips and made 4 birdie putts over 15ft. Most importantly, we had a blast and raised a good chunk of money for the fundraiser!

CSiders12 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Went out this morning and shot 39-40 for a smooth 79. A part of my game that needs some major work is my putting as I had three three putts which cost me bogeys on all of those holes. I actually struck the ball really well today, minus two shots which I chunked. I was perfect off the tee and felt really good up until I got to the green. Overall, I am pleased with how I played, just not with how I putt it. Definitely room to improve, but I get to have another go at it tomorrow! sirchunksalot, Dweed, William P and 6 others 9 Quote Driver: Callaway Rogue ST MAX LS Hybrid: SIM 2 3 Hybrid Irons: Mizuno JPX 921 Tour 4-P Wedges: Sub70 TAIII 50, 54, 60 Putter: Odyssey Ai-One Seven S Maxfli Tour Golf Ball Review Rapsodo MLM2Pro Launch Monitor Review Unofficial Mizuno Type III Putter Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB2334 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I played on Friday morning to sort of a mixed bag. The course I played isn't long, but the fairways are tight and there are a lot of elevation changes. The course layout really plays into the stronger part of my game (iron/wedge approach shots), because I was able to hit 2 iron off most of the par 4's and have a 7 iron or less into the green. Off the tee, I was mostly decent - I've been really inconsistent with the driver lately. My approach shots were on point, I was hitting my irons/wedges really well. If I knew how to putt, it would have been a great round...I had 10 GIRs, and was putting from the fringe on another 2. Lag putting wasn't too bad, only two 3 putts - but I only made one putt outside of tap-in range and missed 3 birdie putts inside of 10 feet. In all, not a bad round. I struck the ball well enough to shoot 75, putted bad enough to shoot 90, and ended up with an 80. The frustrating part was that I haven't broken 80 since early April, and I had makeable birdie putts on 16, 17, and 18. Apparently, just having a Scottie doesn't make me a better putter...lol. alii1959, Rob Person, Dweed and 5 others 8 Quote Callaway Mavrik 10.5 loft, dialed down to 9.5 Callaway Mavrik 3 Wood 15 loft Tommy Armour 845 2 iron Callaway Mavrik 3 Hybrid Callaway Mavrik irons (5-AW) Vokey SM9 56, 60 Scotty Cameron Super Select Newport 2.5+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Person Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Lake Junaluska GC in Waynesville NC. This is my first time playing up in the smokies. What a difference from more southern courses! The fairways are cut well, but the ground is very soft ! First couple of holes had me cutting Beaver tails and shorting my irons and wedges. Only hit 2 bunkers too. Very narrow fairways as well. (Pics show it very open, but the OB lines are tight) one particular hole goes up hill 40 yards higher with a blind shot towards the green, right between steel power line stantions ! I landed on top of the hill just past them (was waiting for a loud *tinngggg* ) The most impressive hole is a down hill (100 yards lower!) Dogleg left. I launched a 3 wood and sent the ball over the trees, slight fade, and ended up 60 yards above the green. The green is only 20 yards wide! Landed 2 foot from the pin. Now the greens themselves were very slow. And as soft as the ground was, the ball almost never left a divot. I managed to squeeze an 88 out of the round with 2 triples and only 1 birdie. Only lost 1 ball to a double ended marsh/creek fairway. Here is a video collage. We also wished his girlfriend a happy birthday , which I accidentally clicked on when creating it.

Chux13 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I blew it!!!! I got absolutely waxed in my first match play attempt. I topped all but 2 of my drives and for some reason was about 2 club lengths short the first 9. I rebounded for the most part toward the back, but was already too little too late as I lost out 8 and 6. I get one bit of redemption in the loser bracket and can at least try to walk out with 3rd place "honors". For me, this is more a chance to just ignore that horrid day and get back to my dang game. I have NEVER had that happen before.

Popular Post cnosil Posted July 29 Popular Post Share Posted July 29 Pretty happy with my rounds lately. Scores generally in the upper 70s; yesterday was 81 with 3 penalty strokes. Short game has finally turned around and approach play has been pretty solid. Struggling off the tee a little with driver and leaving the face open. The biggest disappointment has been putting. Feel like I have lost all feel for distance and am leaving everything short. Don’t do too bad waming up so I need to figure out how to get the pre round to carry over to the course.

Lefty11 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I played surprisingly well, considering my regular irons were stolen from my golf bag. After just one hole, I had to bench my driver and switched to hitting hybrids off the tee for the rest of the round. Fortunately, I still had my old Big Bertha 2002 clubs lying around, so I dusted them off and put them back into action.

Siamese Moose Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 In my league tonight I played my best nine of the year (36, +1), and my partner played quite well also. We ran into a team that both played nearly their worst, so we set a 30+ year record for most points in one week, 19 (1 point per hole, 4 point bonus for team low net). To cap it off, I got closest to the pin at the last (142 yd par 3), and made the putt to take $30 in skins. The odd thing was that I was poor off the tee: only hit 3 fairways (only one of those was MY fairway!). I pitched and putted exceptionally well. On the fifth I pulled my drive short and hard left into an unplayable. Took a drop and got up and down from 220 yards for par. My opponent had 110 from the middle of the fairway and made double.

Nickygolf Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Played 9 holes yesterday, shot +3, but thats not the best part. Check this out.We were able to have our dog tag along. Muskoka Highlands near Bracebridge, Ontario. This course is unique in the fact they allow dogs to roam around. It was so much fun. Going into this i thought it would be a nightmare. I envisioned an overly-excited pup, zipping around and getting in the way. But he just chilled out, usually trying to find shade, and when it was time to move on he would hop in the cart and drink some water. So much fun.

Shlax Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Following 4 awful weeks of ridiculously bad and mind-bloggling golf (including a round where I simply terminated my round short at the 15th hole), I proceeded to shoot my best round of the year... 78 with 3 birdies and many other good birdie looks. Hit a few more fairways than usual and successfully scrambled when it counted with a 1 or 2 long putts and that's that! That is golf I guess. Apprehension is now replaced by excitement looking forward to the next round!

Popular Post edingc Posted July 30 Popular Post Share Posted July 30 Finally broke par. I have been playing pretty well lately and today the right combination of shots and luck happened. Got off to a rocky start this morning as my opening hybrid faded a little too much and ended up underneath a pine tree. Took an unplayable and then promptly skulled my wedge over the green, leading to a pretty ugly double. But on No. 2 I hit a good iron from the tee and stuck my gap wedge to five feet for birdie. Tallied a second birdie on No. 3 by sticking a cut down 9 iron to five feet to erase the double and then a full 9 iron on No. 8 to five feet for birdie there to get back to under par. The rest of the round was mostly scrambling, though I did have a few good looks from five feet for birdie on No. 9 and No. 12. I nearly chipped in for birdie on No. 13, nearly put a ball in the water on 14 but chunked out of some thick water-side rough and then nearly chipped in for birdie again. No. 15 is the easiest hole on the course and I hit a good 3 wood to right in front of the green and chipped to 2 feet for birdie. The last three holes were... ahem... squirrely but I saved two two-putts from over 50 feet on 16 and 17, before hitting a pretty awful high right drive on 18 (OB left - was not going there!). Hit a chunky 8 iron from 150-something to hole high and then nearly chipped in for birdie again, leaving me with a nice little tap in for the 70.
