Since we sold our last boat we're getting to enjoy that new brand called OPB (other people's boats) ran up to the islands for the afternoon. After dinner my wife and I ran out to play 9. Great evening since I ended up with a 41. Interestingly , that was with the driver being off but fortunately I figured it out before the round was over. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy So your a member of OPB too huh? I've been a member the last 8 years or so . Every time I looked at getting a boat, I just think about all my buddy's that own one and how they keep on saying what a PITA it is to have one, plus the cost of maintenance and upkeep so they always say to stay a member of OPB. My old neighbor ended up buying a house on the water just so that he didn't have to pay anymore slip fees for his two boats. He even said if I do get one, I can anchor it on his dock.

Instead of my normal slow, methodical backswing I upped the tempo and hit two very good shots. I think when most of us hear "tempo" as it relates to golf swings, we think of slowing down... but I believe that works both ways. Last year I started an exercise of a more deliberate, slower backswing (still fast by most standards) and then a bit faster forward swing (blaming Superspeed thread ). It has helped. The key for me is the transition at the apex... not too slow, not too fast... damn this game is hard!

It's almost gone, and my wife found another brand that was recommended by her hairdresser so will give that a try. @downlowkey gave me the website of Tortus Mountain https://www.tortusmtn.com/ It is a little like MyGolfSpy in that they test, review, and recommend except it's for Hemp and CBD products. It's been a good way for me to sort through industry information and learn what kind of product works best for me and why. I even found one brand that let me order a .5 oz sample for only $5 (normally $85 for 2 oz). Even if you don't go with a recommended brand the site is a great way to sort through the industry clutter. toehold57, StrokerAce, Kenny B and 3 others 6 Quote PXG 0811 XF driver Serene: 3 wood, 4 & 5 hybrid iron r7 Draw, Flex L: 4, 6 - 9 irons Wedges: RTX Zipcore 46 mid bounce; RTX-3: 52/10 wedge; and Tour Action 900 60* low bounce Armlock putter or E-2 Torque custom fit putter Tour B XS golf ball V3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyBobby_PR Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Played ok yesterday. 38/41 and should have been lower on both 9s but that’s golf and have to take the good with the bad.

ctandc Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I guess it's coming along. I played Friday. Ended up shooting 84 with a double, and two 3 putts. I was upset with an 84 - I consider that progress. Driver was weird. Hit one right. Then hook one, making sure not to hit it right. Then hit one right down the middle. Left the driver in the bag on the last 6 holes and used 3W off the tee. 5 Pars and 1 Bogey (friggin' 3 putt).

cksurfdude Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Played 18 and it was an interesting mix of good and not-so-good.... Tee shots -- 13 / 14 in or just off (w/in 1 yd) fairways ** played from forward tees with my wife * this includes a few pop-ups that landed in the fairway plus one very lucky "tree wedge"! - one tee shot into fairway bunker left; managed a decent 2nd shot outta there GIRs -- 4 on the front 9 (that's a 1st for me!), plus 1 Par 3 green; 0 on the back 9, plus 1 Par 3 green Lag Putts -- had 14 x 1st putts > 10 ft; the average leave from the hole was about 2.6 feet! (most were under 4 ft but 2 really really short leaves from 40 and 50 ft pulled the avg up) But then.... Short Game -- was a bit on & off and I had 5 (FIVE) 2-Chips and 5 (FIVE) 3-Putts (..two of each on the front then three of each on the back) (..so that's up to 10 (TEN!!) wasted strokes) Short Putts -- I managed to miss 4 putts from 2 1/2 feet and less??!!?? Penalty -- I pulled the second shot on #10 OB left into the reeds ... ball slightly above my feet on the right edge of the fairway after an ok tee shot and a clear line straight ahead to the green with an 8i in my hand... Front 9 was pretty solid and finished +7 (Par 36) but Back 9 I started to fade in the heat and humidity around #13-#14 .. plus the round time started to drag, total of 4:40 .. finished back at +14 (Par 36) for a total +21 / 93 with 38 putts - which despite all the silly mistakes is one of my better 18-hole rounds! artful_golfer, Rickp, downlowkey and 6 others 9 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ...

My new tempo is closer to the step change rhythm while doing SuperSpeed, something around 2.5 - 3 to 1. I think I was horribly out of sequence, causing a bad case of the lefts.

MrBandit Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Played today at LA Canteras - Palmer Course. Let's begin by saying what a spectacular course. Right now I would say is one of my favorites in Austin/San Antonio , /DFW area of Texas. Lots of elevation changes, spectacular views, fast greens, its only 6500 yds from the golds. But that is plenty long on this course. Didn't drive the ball particularly well.. Left alot on the left side, But irons and chipping and putting (31 putts) were on point. To help with a 40/42 round. It's a must play if you are in the area. cksurfdude, ole gray, Kenny B and 5 others 8 Quote Driver: TaylorMade Qi10 MAX - 8.5 with Fujikura Speeder NX TCS 50 (Terra Forza White Shaft Testing) 3 -Wood: Sub70 949x 3 Wood 15 with Hrdz RDX Black Stiff 5-Wood: Sub70 949x 5 Wood with Hrdz RDX Black stiff 4-Hybrid: Sub70 949x 4 Hybrid with Project X 5.5 Hybrid Stiff Irons: Mizuno Pro 225 - 6-PW , w/Nippon Modus 105 Stiff Wedges: Sub70 TAIII w/Nippon Modus 105 Stiff - 50 ,56, 60 Putter: L.A.B Mezz1, 34 in Balls: MaxFli Tour X, TaylorMade Tour Response, TaylorMade TPx GPS: Shot Scope X5 with Tracking TESTED: SUB70 949X 5 Wood TESTED: NIPPO N.S.

sirchunksalot Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Here we go! It's not the best video and I kind of cut it off just a little early on the second swing. Still working on learning the new video editing software. I did notice, like other times I've seen my swing, that I do come way inside on the takeaway and get a little over the top coming down. I'm hoping the Planemate training will help that as I progress through the protocols. The first swing is the slower tempo backswing and the second swing seems to work better on the course. cksurfdude, MattF, artful_golfer and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always felt it is easiest to match the backswing with the forward swing and in fact one of my Chisag Tips was swing forward at the same speed you swung back. Think Ernie Els or Tom Purtzer. We have a ton of young athletes on tour that can swing forward much faster than back, but they also practice all day every day and have amazing hand eye coordination. Just remember the swing is a kinetic chain with the body moving slowly, the arms faster and the hands even faster culminating in the clubbed moving much faster than everything else. We all lose sight of that sometimes but the goal is not to swing harder or even faster, the goal is to get the club head to move faster.

Popular Post sp0rtsfan86 Posted July 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2020 I think I've finally turned the corner and playing to my full ability. Played league last night and shot 40 on the back which up until last week 45 was my best score. I missed 2 putts of 8-12 feet but made a bomb of one from 35 feet that broke 6 foot right. My irons are crisp, the drives are straight enough that I have confidence and my wedges are finally coming together. The last two rounds before that were all in the low 40s on the front which is normal. Now I'm even playing better on the back 9 which is the big challenge. Last year around this time I started to play better and better but I haven't played as much. Here's to seeing how low I can go.

Popular Post GolfSpy_SHARK Posted July 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2020 So mad at myself. I had a great round that I butchered on 4 holes. I am not complaining here because I actually had a god day just mad because the putting was all my fault. 43/39. I had MULTIPLE birdie chances today. Hole 2 I 3 putted from 10’. Tripled 3 and should have had a par on 4 but again....3 putted a 8’ putt. turned it around and had a fantastic last 5-9. It was extremely warm today and 10 I almost lost the club my hand was so slippery so broke out the towel. Bogey. Other than that was a clean card until 16 where I tripled. Wedges are starting to become unreliable right now. Not sure if it’s an adjustment I have made in my swing since I was fitted, not sure.... I had 10 greens and was crushing driver/3W and had multiple 280+ drives. cksurfdude, cnosil, MrBandit and 10 others 13 Quote Check out my reviews: G710 Irons Official Review I MC Shaft & V Series Putter Official Review 2022 Forged Tec's Official Review I Nitron Push Cart Official Review WITB: Weapons of grass destruction (link to WITB) Traverse is filled with all this shiny metal and tracked by RadSpeed 8* - MotoreX F1 6X SIM 3W - Project X HZRDUS Green U505 Driving Iron 17* - Project X HZRDUS Black SpeedZone 4H - Project X HZRDUS Black 2022 King Forged Tec's 4-PW - KBS $ Tape 130 48 (SM8), 52 & 60 (SM7) - Nippon Modus 125 S ER2VI PROV1X #19 Are you a veteran?

Rickp Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Played one of the tougher 9’s this morning. Brought a G710 7i to match up against 919 Hot Metal 7i, so far 919 has a slight edge. Both are really nice clubs.BTW, played OK but no scoring due to testing the irons.

revkev Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Played Sunday, it was so meh that I didn’t even post. 40-43 83, first round in the 80’s since March. The only bright spot was it seemed like a classic SuperSpeed I’m about to jump round, several shots flared right. That’s extremely unusual for me.

MaxEntropy Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Had a very good night in league tonight. 39 (+4) with 2 penalties due to wayward drives for a net 31. I had a case of the pulls with driver tonight, so I tried to play the pull at exactly the wrong time (woods right) but the irons were about the best I've hit them in a long time, maybe ever. You know when you are flushing irons and you almost can't hear or feel the contact? That happened a lot tonight and it's totally addictive. Let's hope the golf gods don't think some sort of redemption is due next time. I was also playing a TP5x I found last week. I've never played one before and I think I love them. Too bad I can't justify the price. I had a nasty chip tonight after being long on my approach. Downhill lie, above the green with the green sloping back-to-front. Never a fun chip. Clipped it perfectly to a couple feet on the green and to ball checked up incredibly, then trickled forever leaving about 10 feet up the hill. Missed the putt, but it could have been ugly had the ball not spun like it did.

It compares well to the Pro VIx or TP 5x in every way but price. :)Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy CarlH, sirchunksalot, GolfSpy_SHARK and 4 others 7 Quote Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 Aldila R flex - 42.25 inches SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft Ping G410 7, 9 wood Alta 65 R flex Srixon ZX5 MK II 5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex India 52,56 (60 pending) UST recoil 75's R flex Evon roll ER 5 32 inches It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Thanks! I have tried a couple MTB x's that @MattF let me have. I'll have to buy some when my current supply of Z-Stars and OnCore Elixers starts getting low.
