Sluggo42 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Ok, I did it- but the cheaper version, as I have only one goal for this quest- its the “Skilz” straight line putting mat. Before I get deeper into the quest of putting better, I must first be able to consistently hit a straight putt. The game will be to see how many straight putts I can make in a row. I think it’s about 9 feet long- I’ll start at 3 feet until I can make like 10 or 20 in a row, then scoot back to 5 feet, and so on- you can’t get very far if you can’t sink a straight putt from 5 feet , although watching some of the pros today, it makes one wonder. And you can’t make any bendy putts, regardless of speed if you again, can’t hit your line without a push or pull- seems like 10-15 minutes a day or every other day shouldn’t be impossible Caddie1966, chisag, fixyurdivot and 4 others 7 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...

tchat07 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Really struggled driving the ball had a case of the hooks but fortunately my putting was mental! Shot under par on the back 9 for only second time. Had a lipped hole-in-one on 18 also which would have been the whipped cream, cherry on top and so much more haha. To put the lip out into context on the picture below the ball came from the left in this photo and hot the right side of the hole, absolute power lip i was gutted.

Hurt on a few shots but wasn't too bad overall. Two bogeys and a birdie for a 1 over league round. Our team won 10-11 and has won 4 straight. My play was pretty consistent and I hit the ball really well; hope it continues. Very nice! How’s the putting? Have you settled on one you like?

I’ve been thinning the collection so there isn’t a lot to choose from Sounds good! I guess I’m fortunate in that the putter is the one club I truly have a “feel” for. I used a Yes! Tracy for years, then when I was selected to test the LAB DF 2.1 last year, I realized that even though that particular model wasn’t right for me, mallets are definitely more stable (I hate using the term forgiving with a putter although it is a thing I suppose). Once I saw that, it was just about finding one that fit my natural stroke. I found it on my third try after a Double Wide and a #7, when I stumbled upon what was naturally the most expensive option, a Cameron 5.5. One year in, so far so good, there hasn’t been a need to try anything else. Fairway woods are another story however.

Sluggo42 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I skipped playing real golf today due to a scheduling conflict, but instead did my swing speed training session. This was the first session I've ever done without actually playing my normal crack of dawn round with the boys. Heres a quick recap, as many of you might not get over to follow that testing program... Hit a few high points that are worth sharing... 'wow, what a session. Sweating like a fat heavyweight boxer after 2 rounds. Apparently doing a training session after a round is a little slower than not playing. Set many records with todays session, including a 105 mph driver post session, along with a 91 mph 7-iron. That thing carried 171... wowwww. Best part of that is that the previous swing was 89 mph, but had a 1.33 smash compared to the 1.30 smash of the 91 mph, which actually carried 172... **grin** that just shows why the smash factor is so important' cksurfdude, GolfSpy_SHARK, Kenny B and 1 other 4 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...

I finished with an 86, which included a 45 on the back nine, which was still pretty good for me on that difficult course, playing from the 6,300-yard tees.

Popular Post EasyPutter Posted June 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2023 (T)Less Driver from @Yellow Ball is continuing to make a remarkable improvement on my game. First drive of the day went longer on the downhill par-4 1st fairway than I have done all year and 9i onto green with a good lag putt to easy putt par. Magic continued on the 2nd and 3rd, and on the par-4 4th hole I had intended to just miss the trees inside the dogleg left off the tee (pushed down to only an inch the whole day) but the shot went 10 degrees left of intended line and first time ever cleared the tree tops for 169 yd left short rough shot at the green. Better drives than I have had all year to this point and hybrid 2nd shots are also working, could be I finally am getting back to the golf I had last summer before the northern outdoor golf season ended DF2.1 was rolling amazing putts so in all 3 pars, 5 bogies and a double for 42 +7 which if I had time for a full 18 would have been interesting to see how it would play out for the back 9.

BallsLeon Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Got invited to play Prairie Highlands this morning, and had an awesome round (for me). Played from the whites, slope rating of 124 (compared to 122 earlier this week). I am pretty sore this morning from too much driver at the driving range and playing Wednesday. Driver was not happening today, but ended up making due with my 5H. Fairways were tricky, narrow and lined with bunkers or water hazards so it paid to be accurate. My wedges felt electric today. From 100yd out I was placing it near the cup. Putting felt pretty good, spent about an hour warming up with putting drills. My speed was right, but I kept getting robbed with lip outs. Shot 57 on the front, and 50 on the back for a total of 107. Best 9, and 18 for me so far. cksurfdude, MattF, Kenny B and 6 others 9 Quote Driver : Rogue ST Max LS, 10.5° loft, MCA TENSEI AV White 65g, Stiff flex (45") 3-Wood: Rogue ST LS, 15° loft, MCA TENSEI AV Blue 65g, Reg flex (42.25", tipped 0.5") 3-Utility: 699 Pro V2 Utility Satin, 18° loft, HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 80g, 6.0 flex Irons: T200 6i-GW, 27°-48° lofts, Nippon Modus3 120g, Stiff flex (+0.5”, 1° upright) Wedges: Indi FLX S-Grind, 52°/56°/60° lofts, Dynamic Gold Spinner 115g, Wedge flex Putter: King Vintage Sport 60, SteelFiber P125 shaft (34"), Quad Tour Taper grip Bag: Ultralight Pro, Ski Patrol/Black Push Cart: Nitron, Black/Red Rangefinder: Bushnell Tour V5 Shift 2023 MGS Forum Review: Sugar Golf Balls (Final Review Posted) 2023 MGS Forum Review: Sycamore 009 Mini Putter (Final Review Posted) 2024 Unofficial Review: The "Putting Thing" by WhyGolf -TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fixyurdivot Posted June 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2023 Bookend 37's at Granite Falls South this morning, tying my PB . I missed a 3 foot putt for par on #16 which would have set a new PB. Oh well, I'm liking the trend line and, considering where my back and game was this past spring, thrilled. Our team won two of the 6's, netting us +$6 each. No bogies and no mishits other than a too long 5i on a par 3 #8 and a couple of shorted wedges. Hit all 14 FIR's and 10/14 GIR but those missed were close and puttable. The top score was from this past Thursday. My index dropped one stroke from Thursday's round. tdroma98, BallsLeon, EasyPutter and 8 others 11 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Official Review) AI-One Milled Seven T CH (Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny B Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Early tee time this morning; got to the course at 6:30 and wow! my back is sore from sprinkler repair the past couple of days. Thumb is better though. Shot 42/38 for 80. On the front nine I had bookend pars with 5 bogies in a row. I was doing much better on the back nine until I felt like I HAD to go for it on #18... stoopid Double!! I did have a sandy birdie on #14 though. Driver was on and off, but I hit my irons better than I have all year... too good on a couple of holes. On the par 3 #4 playing downhill with a back pin, I hit an easy 8i that usually puts me in the middle of the green... went off the back! On the par 3 #8 hole with the pin in the front I hit my 6i instead of my 5i because there was a slight breeze behind... should have hit my 7i. I was still on the green, but there is a drop off to a lower level in the back. I had about 50 feet going up a slope and breaking to the left to the front pin. Got it to 4 feet and made par.

Peaksy68 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 2 man scramble US Open day. Conditions were extremely tough, pins cut in deliberately crazy positions and the wind was up. Solid 20mph with gusts double that. Took some video of the 18th green from the 10th tee before we started. IMG_3667.mov The guy marking his ball putted just past the hole. It’ then rolled back past the hole, past him and then proceeded to roll 20 yards off the front of the green. We we scared before we started. I played ok, some good, some bad. Highlight hole was playing the last hole in the dark. Needed to use our torches to find our ball on the fairway. Yardage in was a total guess. Put it into the front bunker then played it to a foot. A mate was videoing the scene and couldn’t see my ball that was 30 feet away. Not happy that the morning field took 5 1/2 hours and caused us to both finish in the dark and get doused with rain on the last green IMG_3667.mov Kenny B, BallsLeon, MattF and 3 others 6 Quote 849 Pro Evenflow Riptide 6.0 F8 3 & 5 Woods Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 TS2 7 Wood Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 MP18 MMC - Project X LZ 5.5 Zipcore Wedges 50,54,58 - Project X LZ 5.5 MLA Tour Mallet 33" Z Star Pioneer bag buggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was actually nearby yesterday at Hecksher Park. Haven't played Timber Point but I know it can get pretty breezy there .. hopefully your round went well!

edingc Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 My game continues to come and go seemingly randomly lately, though the last few rounds have been better than the previous couple of weeks. Finally able to get the ball in the air again after about a five round stretch of nothing but duck hooks. It's been a humbling experience to say the least, and it's a good thing because I think my head is better off for it. Clocked a +3 75 this morning and managed to stay pretty level the entire time. Three birdies, no double bogies and should have been better but missed two putts inside of five feet that would have saved par. I also capped the round on 18 with a terrible three-putt bogey as well. We had a beautiful weekend for golf. My wife managed to snap a pretty nice picture of me yesterday morning as the fog was lifting.

russtopherb Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Well, so far, I’m on hole six of walking, nine, and I actually hit my first straight drive of the day. Everything has been going left. Some have been playable, some not. Which is really weird, because my biggest driver miss is always to the right. fixyurdivot, MattF, cksurfdude and 3 others 6 Quote In my Big Max hybrid bag: ST-X 10.5* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 15* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 4h Linq Blue R Flex Launcher 5h D7 6i-GW CBX 54* & 58* Huntington Beach #10 e12 Contact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
