Popular Post null Posted February 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2020 +5 77 (38/39) today at Mercer East. 6 straight rounds in the 70s dating back to November. By far a personal record. Driver was okay, but irons were on fire today. Swing changes definitely showing. They punched the greens late, so they never filled in before the weather got cold so lots of bouncy putts. Still, I putted pretty well. Definitely lost a few putts due to some big bounces on the way to the hole. All in all it was an great day. Got paired up with another single and a twosome and we had a blast. Always great to be playing golf in February, but it's even better to see the hard work on the swing changes paying off MattF, cnosil, cksurfdude and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PMookie Posted February 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2020 Wa-HOOOOOOOOO! I actually got on the course today for 9 holes, AND the range was open, mats only. I won’t even gripe about the HORRIBLE condition the course is in, as it’s probably to be expected with all of the dang rain we’ve had. This was my first time to hit the Vega wedges AND the Z785s on a course... HO-LY crap!!! I am stoked! The lesson I had in Dallas really helped today as I hit 71% of fairways, and 56% of greens. I missed two greens long just because I don’t know my distances yet with the irons or wedges. I flushed a bunch of shots for the first time in awhile. If I can get a lesson on chipping and pitching, and maybe putting to increase my confidence, I could have a good golf year!

MaxEntropy Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Played 9 today for the first time since late October or early November. Didn't keep score, as we each hit a couple mulligans. The range wasn't open, but I still tried to focus on flattening my swing. I actually had a few drives that had a slight draw when I stayed flatter. Reverted to very vertical a few times resulting in a high fade/slice, but at least I can feel it now. I need to get to a range soon! A couple highlights...

CarlH Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Not a good scoring day for me again. 3 double bogies (again) and a mediocre 43/43. Been awhile since I've shot my handicap (we're not posting this time of year, so nothing changing from where I froze on the first of December). I'll blame colder weather, wetter fairways, and other conditions beyond my control....it can't be me! Didn't strike the ball badly. Just made enough mistakes that got me in trouble. One that I need to look into is my 9 iron. On 3 occasions, when using it for approach shots, I came up short right. Interestingly, don't have that issue with the PW or my 8 iron. On a positive note, I borrowed a friend's Ping 400 Max driver and left my M4 in the bag for the day. Drives were noticeably longer, even misses. Going to play this driver for a few more rounds to see how things play out. Come on warmer weather. Although I was able to play in short sleeves, it was still cold on the first third of the round. fozcycle, MattF, cksurfdude and 2 others 5 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.

cnosil Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Nice day today, temps got into the 50s; ground was fairly wet due to the snow from Thursday. Made a couple of mistakes off the tee causing me to have to pitch back to the fairway, but really happy with how I am hitting the ball off the tee and my iron plays is pretty solid. Happy with my putting as well; did some drills prior to the round so my putter was working pretty well. Short game is way too inconsistent; may need to go get a followup lesson and see why I can't take my practice to the course. Two doubles, 7 bogeys, 4 birdies resulted in a 37/42-79 MaxEntropy, Kenny B, cksurfdude and 5 others 8 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post yungkory Posted February 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2020 +3 39 today 6/7 FiR 5/9 GiR 15 Putts For the first time in a long time, I actually hit driver well. Posted in the SIM thoughts thread, but I averaged 274 off the tee and hit 4/4 fairways with driver. Funny enough, the only hole I birdied I was 2 yards into the rough after over-drawing my 3W off the tee. Missed some putts that were honestly makeable, but I'm just happy to be getting off the tee with success again.

Popular Post mr.hicksta Posted February 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2020 I intended to play 9, but ended up at a different course so I played 18. It was a beautiful day out 88 (44/44) - 6 doubles killed my round 6/14 FIR6/18 GIR37 putts with three 3 jacks My ball striking has improved and I did hit a number of good shots. Putting has been streaky as well, but it's a work in progress so it's all good.

Popular Post juspoole Posted February 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2020 Was lucky enough to get down to Miami last week for a few days to play Indian Creek Country Club. Certainly was a tale of two very different days. First day, while still shaking some rust off, played a 78 and the second day my golf game was no where to be found and shot an 86. Also, hit several shots fat from 125 and in, which really doesn't happen to me. Guess I'll chalk it up to early year rust and leave it at that. Still, a much better way to spend a couple days than in the office! cnosil, MaxEntropy, MattF and 8 others 11 Quote Driver: Mavrik Sub Zero 9* (Set to 10) Ventus Blue 6X 2 Hybrid: TSI3 Hybrid Tensei Blue 80 X (17.25*) 3 Hybrid 818 H2 Hybrid Hzrdus RDX Black 6.5 (20.5*) 4 Iron - T200 4 Iron Graphite Design Tour AD IZ X Hybrid Shaft Irons 5-PW: T100-S 5 - GW KBS Tour 130 X Gap/Sand Wedge: Vokey SM6 49* SM8 54* Lob Wedge: Jaws 5 Wedge 58* DG Tour Issue Stiff Putter: Phantom 5.5 34" Pro Platinum Newport 2 35" Taylormade Tour Black Spider 34" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny B Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Didn't play Sunday. Wind was 30mph with gusts to 52; blowing dust from the farmers' fields outside of town. You may remember the tumbleweed story earlier this year when they buried cars on the highway. Yesterday was Tumbleweed 2; the sequel. So today was 50º with only a breeze, I played with my 77 and 80 year old Monday walking buddies. The course was pruning tree branches after the storm yesterday on the front nine, so we played the back nine. We usually only play the front nine. I hit every fairway with my driver and made 2 no-putt birdies, putting from the fringe. 11 putts total. Shot 36 (+1) because of a stooopid double on an easy hole.

cksurfdude Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 We had a string of very unseasonably mild days here in NY - 50s, clear and mostly calm. Got out Saturday for 9, family brunch Sunday and then went back to the same 9 on Monday. But here's where it gets (kinda) interesting: ..on the same course, the same golf dude, with the same set of clubs, same golf balls, etc. (You can see where this is going!) ..Saturday the tee shots were all over the place and the wedge game was just non-existent (at least putting was mostly ok); lotta mistakes and poor shots and ended up +17 for 9 (Par 36)..... ..but then... ..Monday all tee shots were in the fairway or close and playable; short game wasn't spot-on but was good and although not all shots were good ones they were all moving in the right direction - even the two grounders in a row on an uphill Par 4 still left me in a good spot to get to the green. Approaches were mostly short, one or two were long so distance control of course needs more practice; lag putting was pretty good and left me close several times; but I think the real key was I didn't make two mistakes in a row! The highlights... 4 Pars (yea) 4 Bogeys (including #7 where I habitually f*** up) 1 Double (topped second shot on a Par 5 and then added a 3-putt where I pushed the 3-footer for bogey...) And what I'm really happy with is... * an up & down out of a footprint in a deep greenside bunker on an uphill Par 3 after I pulled the tee shot left and watched the ball hang for a second on the crest of the slope but as it rolled it caught the slope and went down down down. Also finished with the same ball I started with! So finished +6 on a Par 36 which is a new "PB" .. whoo-hoo!

(I made one 42 last Summer but that was on a Par 35) --- Here's the view looking back from the #1 green towards LI Sound... Yep! Happens a lot. That's GOLF. I suggest a trip to Cali next month!! cksurfdude 1 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...

Rickp Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Beautiful FL morning low 60’s no wind. Shot a 3 over with. Couple dumb a$$ shots. Ball sticking on irons was as good as I’ve hit irons in a year, every shot was nuked. See what happens tomorrow if we don’t get rained out.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy MattF, cksurfdude and JohnSmalls 3 Quote Rick Left Hand, Driver; PXG 0311XF Cypher 50 gr Senior 5 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 7 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 5 hybrid; Cally Steelhead, Hazardous R2 Irons; Mizuno JPX 923HM 7-GW Recoil 460 F2 Wedges; Titleist S9 54*, Mizuno SW 56* Putter; Waaay too many to list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
