revkev Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Played in Tuesday night league tonight at the club. I'm an 11 at my course, played against a 7. He only gave me 1 stroke because he played the blues and I played the whites at the request of my partner. We played the back this week which is always a struggle for me. We started on 10, I duck hooked my drive to the right behind some trees and hit a 180 punch with my 5 iron that miraculously ended up on the green. I made par to halve to hole. #11 is a downhill par 3 about 50 feet. Long is death. I had 175 to the flag. I pull 8 iron. Catch it perfect and go long, make a double. 12, 13, and 14 are the hardest holes on the course for me. Extremely tight with OB left and hazards right. I par 12 (net birdie) and 13 and get back to all square. 14 is a par 5 that gradually turns left the whole length of the whole which doesn't work with my draw. I need to stop hitting driver off this tee from the whites. I end up making 7 and go back to 1 down. 15 I hit a good 5 iron off the tee to 115 out. I hit my 54° SCOR and it's goes long into the back bunker which is death with the green sloping away. I try to get cute and end up in the fringe. Hit a chip that hits the hole and flag but doesn't drop. My opponent makes par and I'm 2 down. 16 from the whites doesn't set up well for me. I start the ball left for my draw and there are trees that are really tight with the tee box on the left. I hit my first drive through the top of them then hit a provisional. For my provisional I try to hit a cut (stupid idea) and pull it straight right into the trees on the right. Can't find the first and I take a triple. Game over. What frustrates me is that playing from the white tees is harder for me. When I hit good tee shots I end up with 60-90 yards in which is tough for me. On top of that, the whites cut off some the lines that I'd like to take with my tee shots. I didn't know until tonight but if I would've played the blues I would've been given 2 strokes and felt more comfortable off the tee. Live and learn right? Does anyone else feel like sometimes playing longer tees is easier? Never as others have observed you can always lay to a prefered yardage although most recent studies suggest that hitting it closer to the green will yield the lower score given a large enough sample. It's in your head that you'd have rather been on the blues. I know because once upon a time it was in my head too. wbealsd and jbil8802 2 Quote Driver: Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 R flex - 44.25 Fairways: Ping G410 5, 7, 9 wood Alta CB red 65 R flex Hybrid: Ping G410 26 degree Alta CB Red 70 R flex Irons: Ping G430 7-PW, 45, 50 Alta CB black 65 soft R flex Wedges: Ping 195 S54, E58 Wedges and irons are - 1/2” and one degree flat Putter: Sacks Parente Duke 32.5” Ball: Titleist Pro VI or Callaway Chrome Soft X ls While not at the same time I was fit for every club in my bag as well as the Pro VI ball.

Does anyone else feel like sometimes playing longer tees is easier? Yea, you should have taken advantage of as many strokes as you could, 2 stokes vs 1 stroke for 9 holes is almost a guaranteed 2 hole lead in match play. If your score is the same from either tee I would have taken the extra shot Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbealsd Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Got a practice round in this morning at an "away" course that is more of a links style, and one of the tougher courses when windy. Came out mostly bogies, for an 88 that I won't complain about. I'm SO glad I have a wedge fitting tomorrow... If I could have played even halfway decently from 75 yards in, I would have had a much lower score...

mizuno_lover Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Today I played quite well. Shot a 78 for a net 70 and won the Veterans Friday Competition at my club which was a $50 voucher that paid a chunk off the shafts I put in my Mizzy gamers. Took money off everyone in the side bets but all that aside I actually felt like a golfer, the highlight came on 17 where I drove it into the fairway bunker about 250 yards. It was a great drive just blocked it a little and had 119 yards to the flag. I nipped a pitching wedge nice and cleanly out of the bunker and put it ten feet past the pin and poured the putt in for birdie. Parred the 18th and shot 36 on the back nine. 42 on the front could have been so much better but hey I'm a chopper.

revkev Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Had a noon tee time today, took a look at the radar and knew it wasn't happening. I called my playing partner and said I'm heading to the course now, perhaps we'll get 9 in and at least I will get an extended warm up because the weekend will be a washout and my work schedule next week isn't going to allow for any golf. At any rate I got half an hour on the range before my friend Dennis arrived, we looked at the radar and decided to have lunch to see what would happen, no go so I'm home, watching it rain. I threw the Rocket Blades in the bag not because of the clubs but because of the steel fiber shafts. These shafts are the i80's which are about 20 grams heavier than my current gamers. I have to say that I really liked the way I was hitting them, the little additional weight slowed me down a tad and I was flushing the short irons. The longest iron in that set is a 6 (If I hate the way the Wilson's look I despise the way the slotted clubs sound - double dog despise). I have to say though after a few shots that I was hitting that nicely too, all around a flag that was 160 even with an ever stiffening left to right in breeze (tough condition for a guy who hits draws.) I was flying it well past the flag with the old Nicklaus 5 hybrid that I had in the bag - really flushed that bad boy despite that crappy wind. I may try these out for a few weeks, I forgot how much I liked that shaft, I need to see the spin and how the ball reacts when it hits the green though. Without an LM it's the only way to test the spin and the LM that's available doesn't allow me to use a ball type that would yield accurate real game results. fozcycle and mizuno_lover 2 Quote Driver: Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 R flex - 44.25 Fairways: Ping G410 5, 7, 9 wood Alta CB red 65 R flex Hybrid: Ping G410 26 degree Alta CB Red 70 R flex Irons: Ping G430 7-PW, 45, 50 Alta CB black 65 soft R flex Wedges: Ping 195 S54, E58 Wedges and irons are - 1/2” and one degree flat Putter: Sacks Parente Duke 32.5” Ball: Titleist Pro VI or Callaway Chrome Soft X ls While not at the same time I was fit for every club in my bag as well as the Pro VI ball.

kfilly20 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Was hitting it great off the tee, long and straight .... BUT ... they kept ending up in the worst spots. Well below my feet, in the single bunker in the middle of the fairway, in the long rough that juts out into the middle of the fairway. Very frustrating to hit, what you think is a nice tee shot, and get up to it and see its in the one bad spot it could have landed. Irons were HORRIBLE and have been for awhile. Not sure I hit a GIR outside of 100 yards at all. Luckily I was hitting great shots at the pin with my wedges after my approach shots didn't hit the green. Putted solid and was able to salvage an 86. A really ugly 86. I've got to figure out a way to get my 5,6,7,8 irons going. Hitting everything right, really far right. It would be nice to not have to play my ass off around the green to save a bogey.

mbrodeur86 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 79 yesterday. I still cannot believe how many putts I've missed for birdies. I hit 10 greens and each time I was anywhere between 5-20 feet and could not make a single one. I even got a double on 6 and on the par 5 7th, I skulled a hybrid into the gully about 50-60 yards from the pin. I got there and it had splashed out of the water and was lying just on the side sitting on thick cut grass that had water underneath it. I spread my legs out to each side of the gully and hit a perfect half 60 degree onto the green. The green's elevated so I couldn't see where it went and my brother standing a little higher yells out "it's in It's in!" I dropped it for eagle lol. My mental part of my putter is killing me though. I will line up the putt and pull or push it. Pick up the ball, drop it anywhere on the green, not do anything like line up the ball or even think for that matter and almost nail every second putt lol The joys of golf kfilly20, wbealsd and mizuno_lover 3 Quote DRIVER: Stealth 2, 9* (Upright Setting), Mitsubishi Kai' Li red, 60g Stiff flex, Golf Pride CP2 Pro Midsize Woods: Sim Max 3 Wood, 15*, Fujikura Ventus 6 Blue 65g, Stiff flex, Golf Pride CP2 Pro Midsize HYBRIDS: JPX 850 hybrid 19*, UST Proforce V2 85g, Stiff, Golf Pride CP2 Pro Midsize IRONS: MP-20 HMB 4 iron, Project X LZ 6.5 shaft, Stiff+, Ping Midsize grip JPX 919 Tour 5i-pw, Project X LZ 6.5 shafts, Stiff+, Ping Midsize grips WEDGES: New Level Golf 50*, 55*, 60* M-Type Wedges with True Temper Elevate Tour X-Stiff flex, New Level Midsize grips PUTTER: Heppler Ketsch 35", Ping PP62 Pistol Grip BALL: Pro V1 (2021 + 2023 Versions Yellow + White) BAG: 2023 Pro Cart Bag Shoes: Under Armour HOVR Fade 2 SL Spikeless Shoes Tech: NX7 Pro Slope golf laser Rangefinder Frogger Golf Towels, 4 more Yard blue/ yellow golf tees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbealsd Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Played Troy Burne with BarbaJo, Zinger and N8ball and had a wonderful time. I got a LOT of opportunities to work on my bunker play lol I generally struck the ball and putted well, but I'm not used to that many bunkers getting in my way to the green!! I can get out of bunkers, but not sure at all where I'll get out to... I REALLY need those new wedges to get delivered.

It looks like the result is consistent, so a lie adjustment might be the trick. I actually just had my lie adjusted recently. Now instead of just missing right I am slicing right. As I think about it, I think I'm swinging too hard and my swing is going all out of wack. In another thread I realized I go too hard at my long irons and thats leaving me innacurate and with odd gaps between my irons. Definitely need to work on swinging inside out. I've seen a few drills I'll work on on the range.

mizuno_lover Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 As well as I played the other day I played equally badly today. We play a lot of Stableford competitions here in Australia, in fact it is the preferred competition format over here. I think the reason for that is the ability to pick your ball up and keep moving once you can't score any points on any given hole you are playing. I had four of those today - I call 'em swipo wipo's. They hurt but at least when you know you aren't going to have a great score you can have some fun experimenting with different shots and strategies. Felt like I did that a lot today and actually wound up hitting some really cracking shots. Some really crap ones too though. The best part of the day came when I finished the last hole I made birdie so I am playing tomorrow with that fresh in my mind wbealsd 1 Quote My Bag Driver: G25 Stiff shaft3 Wood: JPX 850 16 degree.

westy Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 82 whacks in a monsoon today. Think I may have gone up to 7 - shame but hey I'm not playing that well. But, found a putting stroke. Gone back left hand below (as I used in the 90's) and my word they are tracking so much better..... Holed nothing much, but didn't have a birdie putt inside 20 feet - lipped out 4 times and made some great distance two putts. oh and finally stuck the ping piper tr in the bag and that bad boy is joyful off the club face. I decided against ketsch (or the Cleveland smart square TFI) mostly because I couldn't win one on this site (not grumpy about that though) and also I prefer a centre shafted putter as a rule. mizuno_lover 1 Quote Rest in peace long sticks - I'll remember you TM Burner Superfast 2.0 TP Regular TM RBZ Stage 2 Fairway 14.5 stiff Adams Blue Hybrid No. 3 stiff Adams Super xtdHybrid 21.5 Stiff Ping G30 4 and 5 Iron - Regular CFS Shaft Ping i25 6 - PW Regular CFS Shaft TM Y Groove Gap Wedge Cleveland CG10 Sand Wedge PingTR Piper Putter, adjustable shaft, SuperStroke Fatso Titleist StaDry Cart Bag Motocaddy S3 Pro Trolley Foot Joy City, Adidas Boost Boa and Adidas Superstar shoes Pro V1x in the summer, Titleist Velocity in the winter.

Jmikecpa Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Played in the Pocono Mountains this morning at Split Rock CC which should be renamed Skip It CC. From the tips it is 7,200 yards and well there is one hole that is not blind off the tee and only two holes that I could hit driver. I flat out wore out my 3 iron off the tee...best hole of the day was the 3 iron - 3 iron I hit into a 425 yard par four to six feet for birdie. Loved the 590 yard par 5 with a completely blind tee shot and a completely blind second shot to a three tiered green that you can't see from anywhere. Just a dumb layout and I posted 74 for the day. No shot I will ever play it again. wbealsd 1 Quote WITB 2024 Driver: Qi10 LS 9* HZRDUS RDX Smoke Blue 60 TX Fairway: BRNR Mini Driver Copper 13.5* HZRDUS Yellow 76 TX Fairway: Sim 19* RDX Smoke Red 75 TX Hybrid: Sim2 Rescue 22* Matrix Black Tie 85x Irons: X Forged CB 5 - PW MMT 105 TX Wedges: Jaws Raw 50*, 54* & 58* TTDG "OG" Spinner Putter: Toulon Madison BGT Fire 34.75" Ball: Z Star Diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undershooter Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Played Dancing Rabbit yesterday. Things started off nicely with a birdie and was only 1 over through 8 holes even though I had lost 1 ball OB. Hit another OB on 9 and ended making triple bogey to shoot 40. Drank way too much on the back 9 and ended up shooting 45 thanks to a triple and a quad. Not a good round.... I hit 5 balls OB for the round. Today I was back at my home course and things were back to normal. Shot 33 on the front and got it to -4 after 10. After that play went to a crawl bc the fivesome in front of us wouldn't let us play through dispite nobody being in front of them. My round went to crap at this point, two tee shots in hazards and one OB mixed with 1 more birdie to end up shooting 73 today. At least it was better than yesterday.

Kenny B Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 My mom had minor surgery on Friday, so I came for a visit last Wed. Been stuck in the house since then, but I got out at 1pm today to play at the Salem CC in Oregon. Nice old track with lots of trees and the weather was perfect. It's a short course; about 6300y. I played with a couple of members and their son-in-law. He could hit it a mile! Did I mention there are lots of trees... he found most of them, and hit 3 balls OB. I managed to shoot 38/41 = 79 and I birdied the hardest hole! I think I left about 6 putts short in the jaws, so the score could have been a lot better. Just couldn't make myself hit the ball today for some reason, usually not a problem for me. mbrodeur86, wbealsd and mizuno_lover 3 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny B Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Had a really good time today out on the course. Was playing with my good buddy who is a 3 marker and another guy, one of the young tyro's of the club off 4. Felt funny being the hacker off 8. There was plenty of good natured sledging and carry on. Shot 83 and lost a dollar, but made a nice birdie on 16 that rescued my back nine score. Consistency my kingdom for some consistency like Mr Brodeur above. I love consistency, but I would give up consistency once in awhile for the opportunity to shoot a really low score. Haven't done that in a long time. BTW, in my round posted above, there were two kids, 18 somethings, playing behind us. As we were on the next tee box, one of them hit it to 2in on a 168y par 3. Several holes later after I had teed off and waiting for the other two guys, I watched the other kid from about 80y out in the trees, punch one through the trees, bounce along the ground, roll up on the green and in the cup for an eagle on a par 4. Ahh kids..... mizuno_lover and mbrodeur86 2 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattF Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 We got rained out big time on 15 at Zoar Village Golf Course, Ohio. Saw it coming when we hit the back 9, on 15 people were heading for the car park, so we did too, not a moment too soon. It was raining so hard people were pulled over on the side of the freeway with their hazards on.

fozcycle Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Since I couldn't play on Saturday, i spent the morning setting up my new Bag. That done, i then reset my old Bag with some backup clubs (Powerbilt woods, Mizuno irons, Cobra wedges & Nike putter. I then made sure I had tees, balls and stuff so I can run with either bag based upon the weather. That done, six of us played on Sunday. It was "cart path only" so i gamed my old Bag for the outing. The others could not believe that I was not gaming the PowerBilt Air force One driver because I was crushing it. I was also hitting the fairway woods and hybrids really well. The irons were okay. The problem was with the putting. I seemed to 3 or 4 putt almost every green. The greens were very spongy and extreemely slow. I just could't get them to drop. But the outing was fun. We did a blind draw for partners, so I came in 2nd (which did not pay anything...LOL) I think that I would have been much better if I had used my SCOR wedges rather than the Cobras. I now know that not doing so was a mistake. The putts were what they were.....lousy due to ground conditions.....I will leave it at that. mizuno_lover and mbrodeur86 2 Quote Driver: 0311 XF 10.5* w/Project X Cypher 40 gram Senior shaft or 0811 XF 12* w/Evenflo Riptide CB Senior shaft Fairways: 0211 5W & 7W w/ Evenflo Riptide CB regular shaft and Tour Edge E521 9W w/Fubuki HD50 regular shaft Hybrid: None in bag at the moment Irons: Titleist T300 5-PW w/Fubuki MV Senior graphite shafts w/Golf Pride Tour Wedges: Edison forged 49*, 53* and 57* wedges with KB PGI Senior shafts(80 grm).

jbil8802 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 83 today on a course I haven't seen before. Overcooked most of my tee shots and woods/long irons. Didn't have any penalties and the short game was decent which kept it from being a 90. mizuno_lover and mbrodeur86 2 Quote Driver - M1 9.5* w/ Aldila Rogue Silver 70X Fairway - M1 5W 19* w/ Aldila Rogue Silver 70X Hybrids - G25 4H 23* Irons - JPX 850 Forged 4-PW w/ Nippon N.S.

dhayse32 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 44-39 for an 83. FIRs: 6/14 (1/7 front - 5/7 back) GIRs: 8/18 (3/9 front - 5/9 back) Putts: 31 (no 3-putts) Penalties: 4 strokes Had a triple and two doubles on the card, which is never good. Front 9 was brutal. Only 1 fairway, all 4-penalty strokes, and 3/9 GIRs. Fought the driver for the entire 9. Back 9 was much better. Hit a few HUGE drives, played smarter and went 3-wood on tighter 4's. Putter really well all day. 13 two putts, 5 one putts, which I was really happy with. I had a few 40+ foot putts that I snuggled up close. Not happy with the score, but very easily could have been mid-70s had I played smarter on the front. And also, IT WAS HOT AS HELL OUT THERE!!!!!! mbrodeur86, fozcycle and mizuno_lover 3 Quote M1 10.5* - Tour AD BB-6X 10F.d. 13.5* - Graffaloy Bi-Matrix X 915Hd 20.5* - Aldila Tour Green T-MB 2-iron - Aldila Tour Green 716 AP2 5-PW - KBS C-Taper Lite X SM6 50/56 - DG S400 Kombi S 35" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizuno_lover Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I hit my irons well all day, struggled off the tee with driver and for the most part did all the damage to my score with that club, sprayed it to all points of the compass. The greens were absolute crap. The course was water logged and the greens were soggy and soft and slow making putting hard. I made two great back to back birdies on the back nine that again rescued my back nine score, with one of them being a smoked 5 iron that finished 2 foot behind the hole on a 180 yard par 3. Finished with an 84 that could have been so much better if my driver had of cooperated. wbealsd, mbrodeur86, dhayse32 and 1 other 4 Quote My Bag Driver: G25 Stiff shaft3 Wood: JPX 850 16 degree.

wbealsd Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Very windy day yesterday, probably not the best day for "high flying" irons, but the Burners are still impressing me. Got some practice in and played 6 over playing the back nine, which is right at my handicap. I just have to remember for distances, the Burner 5 iron is a "4", the 6 the "5", etc... - lol I was even hitting the Burner 4 iron (3 iron) really well on the range last night at my lesson, and I've NEVER carried a 3 iron! mbrodeur86, fozcycle and mizuno_lover 3 Quote What's In the Bag Driver - GBB Hybrids Halo XL Halo 18* & T-Rail 20* Irons T-Rail 2.0 Wedges 60* TS / SCOR 48* 53* 58* Putter Ball Bag Datrek DG Lite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
