Popular Post Michael.Sandoval33 Posted May 8 Popular Post Share Posted May 8 Walked 18 today at Green Tree Golf Course. Shot 98 for a +26 on the day. Driving was a big issue for me today, not the left-right path, but I was swinging atrociously. I topped at least half of my drives today and it was frustrating without a doubt as the Qi10 Max has been a go getter most other outings. Definitely excited to try out the new shorter shaft after I get the Star Grip I ordered and put it on. Irons were up & down today, but my swing and feeling comfortable making a divot is coming along. I have been a sweeper my entire time golfing this far, and I am working on the change to shallow the club and also lower myself into the shot better. It's tough, but the good ones felt super. Wedges were good but not great, left a handful short and cost me in my putting today. (3) 3-putts, a lot of 2's and a couple of 1's for a total of 37. Felt a lot better with my distance control in that area, the wedges kind of left me hanging. Overall, there were some goods, and some really bads (I'm looking at you Qi10 Max ) but still, any day golfing is a great one!

Popular Post EnderinAZ Posted May 9 Popular Post Share Posted May 9 Second round after golf purgatory and well.... It was not much better than the first round. Bogied the ENTIRE front 9. Yeah, the whole darn thing. 3 three putts and a truly rotten 4 putt. But there were some really good shots as well. Plus my short game was not a complete disaster like it was on Monday. Monday was an 89 with 8 extra strokes from 3 putts and double bogies that should have been pars. Today was 90. Again at least 8 strokes that I should not have carded. All short game stuff. Off day tomorrow, I may go play the par 61 course to work on my short game.

Popular Post Rob Person Posted May 9 Popular Post Share Posted May 9 Had an amazing afternoon/evening round of golf today after GC duties! Had a buddy from traffic division start playing golf again after 12 years of not playing. He asked if we can squeeze 9 out after his shift., I was planning on a solo round anyway, so he showed up for a 330 tee time . He brought his wife to ride along as well. After playing 9 in 1h25min, we decided to go for the next 9 holes as well. 7We had an absolute blast. Had some blowup holes on the front, and stayed pretty even keeled on the back. He shot a 51/45, I shot a 44/43. If it wasn't for a stupid lost OB ball, I could have gone down to as low as 85! The few 3 putts I had was just to poor alignment on my part. Some days the art of reading a green is with me, sometimes it isnt! Today was the ISN'T day!!! Anyway, it was refreshing to play with someone different for a change.

Mark Robert Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I'm attaining a handicap for the first time this year, I typically play 9 holes on a full-length course once a week, and a twilight round (usually 18) on a shorter course (par 63). I tend to score quite well on the long course (+4 to +6 for 9), but struggle to do so on the short one (sometimes 20 or more over). This was true again yesterday; 12-over for the front 9, but improved on the back (+3). I'm guessing this situation is highlighting some weaknesses in my game (iron play and short game form the rough), so I'm determined to keep at it and conquer (by my standards) that course!

Daddyawn Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Final score is still no bueno but was striking the ball more consistently . My biggest issue is that I was over shooting a lot (usual distances were out the window by 10+ yards), so GIR was non existent. I have to take away the positives: birdied the hardest rated hole on the course! jbern, Michael.Sandoval33, Mark Robert and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jim Shaw Posted May 9 Popular Post Share Posted May 9 Interesting day on the course yesterday. got off to a solid start and made some good decisions and really solid swings, finished even on the front, 2 birdies 2 bogeys, was 1 over on the back, 2 bogeys 1 birdie, but the interesting part was a poor 9 iron on 14 that led to a bogey, and poor knocked down PW on 15 that led to a bogey... Today I will go and work on those scoring irons, 7-PW to make sure those were anomolies. Crazy how 2 shots out of 73 can stick in your head, while I am typing this I feel I must have hit 80% of the shots I wanted to (within reason) but I focus on two bad ones, not good... cnosil, Michael.Sandoval33, ejgaudette and 8 others 9 2 Quote committed to performance excellence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GaryF Posted May 9 Popular Post Share Posted May 9 Been ages since I posted here. My goal for this year has been to improve my iron accuracy. After shutting down for my winter conditioning, I started working at the range with the belief my problem is a combination of setup and swing path, but with my setup having a big influence on path. Tried many variations with some good and not so good results. Took a number of these changes to the course with mixed results the last 2 months. In the midst, started having some driver issues (for several years have been 81-85% FIRs). Anyways, due to some family and travel items, came to a point of a 2 week break which allowed me to hit reset. Have settled on a couple changes with no variations. Played 9 last week with better results, played 9 late yesterday, and if not for a double on #1 (3putt) and getting wet on a par 3 #8 (I never go in the water there) for another double, still shot 42 (par 37). 6/7 Fir, 4 pars, 1 birdie, 5 GIRs.

Popular Post MDGolfHacker Posted May 9 Popular Post Share Posted May 9 (edited) <sigh> was fortunate enough to play in a scramble tourney yesterday before league. Hit mostly decent shots and some not so great shots. We came in at 62 ; the team behind us shot 60 then as scores came in we got relegated to 4th place with the winning score being 55. The real pain came in the afternoon, my league round. I couldn't get any of the wedges closer than 10' to the hole. The wheels fell off on my 6th hole. Had a double cross off the tee causing a pull to the right and OB. Dropped and got a wedge to the center of the fairway right before the water hazard (long approach was blocked by trees from the drop point). Proceed to dump the long iron right into the water hazard. Take a drop in the drop zone and duffed a few really poor wedge shots before picking up for a max double par for the hole. Next hole, which isn't very long, I dropped back to a 5 wood after the driver fiasco on the last hole and proceeded to also pull that drive right but it stayed in play. Blocked by trees again but I had an easy wedge approach....which I also pulled and ended up in a deep bunker. Proceed to hit a bladed sand wedge but got lucky because it hit enough of the top of the bunker to take a lot of speed off of it so I still had a shot a for par save. You guessed it I missed the putt. Final hole, I settled down and finally got the swing back and hit a pretty decent drive leaving 57 yards to a pin that slopes away from you. Hit a nice wedge shot leaving a 2' uphill putt that broke slightly to the left. Yup, missed the birdie putt. The frustration was strong after the round...

Gusset Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 When I reserved the tee time a few days back, it had yesterday as the windiest day of the week. Tri-Mountain is usually pretty breezy in the afternoon anyway, but Weather Underground had it right. This was a bit more severe- not quite at a Bandon Dunes level, but still a two-club wind that had me hitting into bending flag poles all day. Managed it well at times, sometimes not-so-well. 8 GIR, but 5 of those were 40-50 foot "birdie" putts, and Tri Mountain's contoured greens were unkind at that distance...3-putts on the three that were over 50'. This is what 86 at Tri Mountain looked like on this occasion. I'm content with that score, all things considered.

tdroma98 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Walked 18 holes this morning and getting more comfortable with my new T200 irons & SM10 Wedges 48, 54 & 58. I like the Irons, with the exception of the PW, I'll explain later). The Iron & Wedge fittings were very good, the Nippon shafts are fantastic. My favorite club is now the 5 iron, which is a T350 - Titleist fitting Blends their T Series Irons and I can see why! Putting is still an issue, missing what I feel are too many 9 to 15 ft putts. Misread mostly. Today was a little better with putting. Did get a bit apprehensive on a couple of 20-25ft putts. Then drained a 21-footer for birdie. Made some Wood & Rescue changes - I reset my Driver from 10 degrees to 9 degrees. The ball flight came down a bit, hitting drivers further, 10-15 yards. Solid into the wind. Plus I changed out the shaft went with a 50-gram stiff shaft from old driver, and swapped it for the 60-gram shaft. Rescue clubs - the 19-degree TSr2 is set at 18 degrees with more of a draw bias & I changed my Callaway Apex 4 hybrid back to the standard 21 degrees from 22 degrees. Today's Results: 1 under 34 on the front with a bogey & 2 under 33 on the back, no bogeys for a 67. As for the PW - based on the results of the shots, I told the Club Pro today, who is on staff with Titleist, the PW is not bent properly, it's somewhere between standard and 2 degrees flat. My specs are for the lie to be 2 degrees upright, as all the new irons are to be bent. I've hit 9 PW shots and 7 came out chunky with the toe digging in. 1 shot was ok & 1 shot was telling the club is not 2 degrees upright. Club Pro tested it and sure enough the Lie is Flat. It was driving me nuts! But now I think the problem might be solved.

Dan Yates Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Hoping to get out tomorrow after work if the rain isn’t torrential (I’ve played 5x this spring in pretty steady rain - you can only get SO wet - rain beyond that l doesn’t add much). Played terribly last Friday - same pattern as the previous two rounds: rush to the course with little to no warm up (except maybe 10 quick putts and a chip or two to judge the green speed) before we get called by the starter, struggle to get in tempo and find some touch, dig into a hole with a few bogeys and maybe a double from stiff incomplete swings, then somewhere around #5, 6, or 7, find a glimmer of my feels, make adjustments, make a few pars and if I’m lucky a birdie on #8 or 9, and by the time I’m getting in a groove and starting to make shots, it’s too dark to play anymore, usually by #12, even earlier if the course is packed. starting to wonder if I would get more out of spending that same amount of time on the range and practice greens, so when I get to play on the weekends with a normal warm up, I’ll get more out of it. Sometimes feels like these rushed around 12 holes are hurting more than helping. But I’ll keep plugging away because even the bad days I still love this game!

Syks7 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I did not have the same game I had last week... and yet, I managed to scramble around and still found myself within striking distance of Par after the 13th hole. Then I promptly forgot what I was doing and tripled the 14th and bogeyed the 15th. Left my birdie putt in the jaws on 16 and made par, brushed the edge to save par on 17 and made bogey, finally lipping out my 17.5 foot hail mary birdie putt to stay under 80 and making par instead. Another multi birdie day with, lots of up and downs, hit and miss driver play, and cagey approach to cover a shaky feeling iron swing. Happy to have a good day when I wasn't feeling like my swing was at its best. 39/41 80 Gusset, MDGolfHacker, William P and 6 others 9 Quote Driver 0311 Gen 5 -- Tensei CK Orange 60 Woods 0341 3W -- Tensei AV Raw Blue Hybrids 0317X 2&4 -- Tensei AV Raw Blue Irons ZX7 4/AW -- C-Taper Lite 110 Wedges T7 55º @55/7 -- TT DG Spinner Putter DF2.1 or Link.1 -- Accra Ball Zstar Diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Theoo Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 On 5/6/2024 at 9:21 AM, MaxEntropy said: @MattF, @DiscipleofPenick, @Mr_Theoo and I met at Deer Ridge Golf Course about halfway between Cleveland and Columbus. In my opinion, this is a hidden gem that I had never heard of until we started talking about playing there. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere. The elevation changes are really dramatic, making club selection tricky, even with Arccos giving us a "plays like" distance. There are a couple "gimicky" holes on the front, but in general, I really liked the course. The visuals were very deceptive, but I assume that had a lot to do with the number of uphill, downhill, and blind shots. The greens were also pretty tricky, so there were plenty of 3-putts from us. Below is a picture from the 8th tee - Arccos said it was ~150 feet down to the fairway. The pic doesn't really do it justice. As far as the play, I started out really well with 3 straight pars (including the #1 handicap hole), then settled into what was more typical golf for me. Driver was not great most of the day - I think I was getting too steep and there were too many flares. Approach was its typical level of OK-ness with some really good shots and some tragic. I ended up with an 87 (my course HC from the tees we played was a 12). I want to play the course again - now that we've seen it and have a better idea of the visual tricks, I think we could do better, or at least would be able to pick better targets. I shot a 94 with a bad ending. Pretty excited to get another shot at this course and to play more this season Josh Parker, MaxEntropy, cksurfdude and 5 others 8 Quote Driver: Epic 10.5 set to 9.5 w/ Tour AD-DI 44.5 FW: F6 baffler set at 16º Hybrid: NONEIrons: 3i 2014 TP CB 4-PW 2011 TP MC w/ TT S400 Wedges: 52º 56º 60 º w/ KBS C-Taper XS Soft-stepped Putter: Sigma G Tyne 34 inches Gold dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went +3 on 4 holes lol! Dumb sport, can't wait to play again! On another note, super stroke dropped this beaut earlier. Since I can't make it to Vahalla next week(regret not getting tickets), I ordered the grip. My Ping putter has a 23+yr old grip so it'll be a nice upgrade. golf is hard... for sure Dweed, Rob Person, injectedcutty and 1 other 4 Quote committed to performance excellence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mind the bikers, but I don't care for the bike noise when I'm trying to relax. This is really a working vaca for me, and I only took Tuesday off to go play 18 with my friend. Otherwise, I've been in meetings almost all day, every day. I spent a total of about 30 mins on the beach so far this week and now the weather is looking worse. Glad I got to play when I did! Next time you are over this way let me know Maybe we Can get a round in somewhere.

Popular Post WalkerH Posted May 10 Popular Post Share Posted May 10 Played 9 holes at my local course on Tuesday evening and shot a 39! Overall, I played lights out and have never hit every club in my bag so well. Had 1 bad hole where I lost my ball... in the rough! Thinking a gopher took my ball and ended up with a triple on that hole. Also, I nearly had a hole-in-one on an 181-yard par 3! Ended up about 14 inches short of the hole. Thoroughly enjoyed my outing and hope to have many more of those kind of days! donyell94, Rob Person, Michael.Sandoval33 and 7 others 8 2 Quote Driver: Callaway Paradym X 5-Wood: Taylormade Burner Irons: Paradym 4-AW Wedges: 52 deg Cleveland RTX 588, 56 deg Vokey SM4 Putter: Nike OZ 5 Golf Balls: Vice Pro Plus Drip Lime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bubba1985 Posted May 10 Popular Post Share Posted May 10 Well, the center of my club faces got a break yesterday.. After shooting a 54 on the front 9, I didn't even keep track on the back 9..Had a young man with me who only started 6 months ago and he had the round of his life, so I did thoroughly enjoy watching him play and fall in love with the game Rob Person, StrokerAce, MattF and 7 others 9 1 Quote Bubba Ivy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donyell94 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Vicariously living through all of you at the moment. We just had 7 inches of rain in one day and all the golf courses are flooded for the weekend. Of course, I had two tee times this week (today and Sunday) and now I have to move them. Hoping the courses dry out, but we have more rain next week.
