The heat and humidity will take it out of you. I hit balls on the range today and hit from the shade. I did do a Pedelyte before I went and had water with me. Hit about 35 balls got loose so I quit. Retreated to the patio under one of the umbrellas and rested. Then chipped and putted for 30 minutes or so then said NUTS!

Popular Post cksurfdude Posted June 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2022 So I'd like to say "Well" as in, "I played well" but it was more like "well ... wtf was that?!?!?!?" Could not hit a tee shot even if you'd held a gun to my head, and then let myself get demoralized about that so had trouble making solid second .. and third .. shots... Wasn't all horrible, though - had a nice up & down on the first hole (to save bogey), and then again on the next hole (another bogey). But after that things got even messier and even the wedges started arguing and fighting with me The one consistent good thing was putting, happily enough -- two 1 putts on those first two holes with the up & downs, then several good 2 putts with tap-in seconds, one more 1 putt on a Par 3 (another up & down for another bogey), and had one 3 putt where I just totally misread the first putt and the ball broke _away_ from the hole and kept running running running further away .. but hit a good second with good speed but ball tracked straight instead of breaking slightly right to left... So 16 putts for 9 holes .. happy with that .. and we won't talk about the total gross score! JerryB, GrumpyGolf, MattF and 10 others 13 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ...

I had two bad holes ruin what would have been my lowest round of the year, and technically throw in a third one, If Ihad just made bogey on each of those I would have shot an 82 which would hae tied my best ever, which was also the round with my first Hole in One. Instead shot a somewhat disappointing 90 consideirn the way I hit it for 15 holes. Congrats.

Popular Post Berg Ryman Posted July 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2022 League night, a pretty pedestrian 43, 3 pars, 6 bogeys, hit some absolute bombs, but could make anything worth anything on the greens. Ah well, that's life. Learned I'm statistically the 2nd best player in this league on scoring average, so I now have a goal for the second half of the year. Also in a half season team best ball with handicap finished T8 at -2, but lost on the paid place for 8th on a card draw. Interesting to note... in that it's interesting, the two twosomes who played by themselves with not playing partners finished 1st and 2nd. bens197, rkj427, ejgaudette and 10 others 9 1 3 Quote In a Hoofer Lite bag TSR2, 10 degrees, A1 setting, Fujikara Speeder NX Blue 50-S Stealth, 15 degrees, VA Composites Nemesys 70-S E722, 19 degrees, Oban Devotion 80-S JPX 921 Hot Metal Pro 4-P, Nippon 950GH Stiff Flex CBX Zipcore 50* (bent to *49) and RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 54* (bent to *55), DG 115 Spinner, Tour Issue Staff Model TG 60*, Dynamic Gold 120 S300 SIK Golf Flo-C Tour B-XS (2022 Model) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post edingc Posted July 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2022 Played a little extra this week as my in-laws wanted to go out twice and I had some vacation time to burn: 41/38 -> 79 40 37/37 -> 74 38/39 -> 77 I have started to hit my irons really, really well as the practice I put in with changes from my last lesson is starting to pay off. Got a very fortuitous bounce off a tree that kept a ball in bounds and led to a birdie during today's 77, but otherwise it was a very solid round. My touch was off on the greens and I had three three-putts for bogies that I wish I could remove, but no doubles at all. I came to No. 18 yesterday at even par and ended up doubling it trying too hard for a birdie or par. Oh well! Estimated handicap has dropped below six for the first time ever and my anti-cap is now down to 11.1. That's a huge improvement for me this year.

Popular Post Tom the Golf Nut Posted July 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2022 I took the Motocaddy M7 for a spin around the course today. You can read about that in the test thread. So today turned out to be old Tom day. No mysterious duck hooks, no fat or thin iron shots. I didn't spend much time at the beach. Just one time I had to put my sand game into action. Long fairway finding drives, hitting greens in regulation. So just boring golf. Two bogies and two birdies to come out even par for the day. I would have liked a few more one putts but I'm not going to complain about even par especially after the last three rounds that had the mysterious duck hooks on a few holes. I've had comments before from other golfers " It must be boring playing golf like that" if only it was like that all the time!

Vegan_Golfer_PNW Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Shot a 48 today. Funny thing, that was after starting with a 10 on 1. Followed up with two pars and 6 bogies to finish. In reality could have been even better. No range to hit before my round is what caused my poor start.

Popular Post Sluggo42 Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2022 So yesterday in a goofing around round, (no score keeping, and trying weird stuff), I decided to fiddle with my fairway woods. I’ve been looking at 7 and 9 woods, as I had been thinking I needed a new 5 wood. I have a cobra f8 5/6 wood that has always been kind of a weird duck. I wanted it to be my 200 yd club, up it’s been inconsistent and odd to my eye. soooo, it has a very large assortment of available settings on it, so for fun I cranked it all the way to 20°, and then took my cobra sz 3 wood, and added 1.5° which brought it up to 16°. it immediately made them both much easier to hit, and now the 20° f8 is like a 7 wood, and goes about 175, with a seriously high ball flight, and the 3 wood is now my 200 yd club. at least for a week, till I decide to do something else weird. But I must admit, the old f8 that was close to being shelved has suddenly become much more interesting…, and same with the 3 wood… also weird, I had quit taking my arthritis meds as they were messing with tummy, but the pain everywhere was getting stupid, so back into the good old celebrex, the miracle pill ejgaudette, cnosil, rkj427 and 7 others 10 Quote TSr2 on tensi blue stiff Speedzone 3-wood on Tensi blue S Epic Max 5 and 7 woods on HZRDUS Reg flex Paradym 9 wood on HZRDUS reg flex P770 / P790 combo set on Ventus R-6 shafts 6-AW T22 Denim Copper 54°, 58° on Kinetic X Trajectory ER3 or, E.A.S. #4 (“Fang” or “Adele”) ProV1x, or, Maxfli Tour X .Org 14 cart bag Adidas Tour 360 , or Sketcher shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tommc23 Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2022 Played a decent round on a fairly tough course today. Shot 96 today and I miss hit a few long irons but I absolutely crushed a few shots today. Had a run of 6s today again like I did my last round. Not too bad and we had fun today for my friends birthday CarlH, JerryB, cksurfdude and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CarlH Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2022 Birdied #18 to close the round with a 79. I did have a double on one of the easier par 4s when I bladed a 9 iron over the green into the woods then hit the comeback shot a bit long and it rolled off the green and into the trap. Lots of looks at birdie, just couldn't get the ball to fall until 18. ejgaudette, Rickp, cnosil and 8 others 11 Quote Driver: Rogue ST Max (10.5* set at -1 and neutral) -- Mitsubishi Tensai Blue 55g R shaft Fairway: Rogue ST Max 3 wood (16.5*) and Heaven Wood (20*)-- Tensai Blue 55g R shaft Hybrids: Rogue ST Max 5H (23*)--Tensai Blue 55g R shaft Irons: Apex CF19 6-9, PW, AW -- KBS Tour Graphite TGI 70 shafts R +1/2 inch 3* upright Wedges: Edison 53* and 57* KBS PGI 80 Graphite +1/2 inch 2* upright Putter: L.A.B.

Popular Post Kenny B Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2022 Today was one of those special days where most every part of my game was working pretty well... doesn't happen often. For some reason I decided to take my Macgregor irons out for a spin, so my bag looked like Callaway Epic driver, 3W, Heavenwood, and 9W; Macgregor VIP V-Foil 1025M 4-PW; Callaway PM Grind 54º and 60º wedges and Ping Sigma G Doon putter. Playing from our senior White tees, I hit 13/13 fairways and 11/18 greens (a record for me) and had 29 putts. I birdied hole #1 and hole #13 and missed a few more that were makable. Shot 2 over on the front nine and even par on the back nine for 74... which is one under my age. Best round this year... but not as good as last year!! Got to try harder!! cksurfdude, MattF, tommc23 and 13 others 11 5 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...

It sounds like your driving and irons were on fire. Not gonna lie, but I had to look up the irons and that's one good looking set. Now you just need to get out and try harder to get under par, El Conquistador. edingc, rkj427, tommc23 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
