I mean it worked... but I was holding off all of my shots, which lead to the big right miss. going to look at the bottom end of the bag closer to see what I can do to get better full swing shots in the 120 and in range. yes, rhetorical question. That was why I asked about the knock down shot. It's interesting how working on one type of swing affects your other swings. Don't give up on it; it just takes more practice to incorporate it into your arsenal where it doesn't affect your normal swing.

Iron play has been stellar all year, woods pretty darn good. Finally figure out a wedge game and the other two fall apart. might just get of the wedges all together. artful_golfer, MattF, cksurfdude and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be able to sort that out in a short range session. Got the John Daly transition going on. Getting the club too far out in front of me, that would be a huge snap hook if I released the club like I normally do. Thats what I get for practicing a lot of short game.... I love this sport.

At least the I stayed up with the guy w the new Mavrik driver he’s been getting on my nerves. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy The remark about the guy with the Mavrick really gave me a good laugh, lol. My buddy is a really good player, and kills his driver. He's always looking for more though. At 52, he's 10-20 years younger than most of us, but only one of the other early 50's guys can keep up with him in distance. He started off this spring with the Mavrick, and didn't like it (it was the only driver I've seen him struggle with (I'd love to have his "struggles" though) so he traded it for a Sim. He's got a slight fade with it, but he's been just demolishing it all year. Then he tells me he and the Callaway rep created what he calls his Frankenstein driver.... It's a Mavrick head, with the RCH stock shaft they put in the new Big Bertha driver. They also changed out the weight in the bottom of the head to one that weighs about 15 grams. What the new weight accomplishes, I have no idea, but he played the club Saturday. Now he has a draw, and is maybe another 15 yards longer. According to what the rep told him, it turns out the RCH shaft works better for most players with the Mavrick head than the Bertha it was designed for.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Very True! Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Trust me, I know what you're talking about with the age thing, I see it, and agree with you 100% . I've been down south almost ten years now, and I turned 66 on 6/25. I keep myself in pretty good shape, but I've noticed a slight loss of distance the last two years or so. It seems the guys my age (low to mid sixties) are holding pretty steady for the most part, however it's really noticeable with the guys I've played with all those years who are 5-10 years older than me. Lots of high lofted drivers with light weight shafts, more hybrids and/or FWs added to the bag, and senior flex shafts... The older guys who are either very good, or work out a lot harder than most are willing to, seem to maintain what they have a little better, but lets face it.... we're all battling against Father Time, and he's a tough man to beat. All we can do is try to battle him to a draw for as long as possible.

Popular Post chisag Posted October 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2020 ... I had a 1:50 tee time today which was right into the teeth of an insane wind. Opening hole is 363 and I hit a solid driver and 17* Super Hybrid coming up just on the front fringe. 512 yd par 5 and after a 330 yd drive (LOL) I hit an 8 iron just over the green. 30-35 mph with 45+ gusts were no joke as I usually hit driver, 6 iron and pw/sw into that green. At least they are pretty much into or down wind with only 1 hole into a cross wind. 2 people I was playing with quit after 9 leaving me and a high index player from India on the back 9. I don't think he broke 150 and must have lost close to a dozen balls, but at least he had a good attitude and smiled his way through the round. But da-yum a weak slice into a 40+ wind really really goes sideways. On the 12th, a short 148yd par 3 he hit a 4 hybrid waaaay up in the air and it came down bouncing back toward him maybe 10 yds. Weirdest shot I have ever seen as it must have gotten over the front of the green before starting to come down blowing back and rolling toward us. All in all a fun round battling that wind. Funny, at 20 mph I get frustrated with the wind but at 35-45 mph it was much more of a mental and physical challenge to hit every shot as solid as possible. ... #10 is a 317 yd slightly downhill par 3 with trees left and water right. I hit my 2 iron 290 with that insane wind at my back and could not stop a wedge on the green. Hit just on the front fringe and it still rolled off the back as I was too close to put some needed spin on the ball. Shot an adventurous 74 with 4 bogies and 2 birdies. Both birdies came from eagle chips and tap ins after hitting irons over the green on par 5's that I usually lay up when playing, but hitting 300+ yd drives with 45 mph winds really changes the holes. Sadly the last round for awhile as temps are dropping into the low 50's with 15-20 mph winds and no sun, which is a recipe for back problems. artful_golfer, Shapotomous, cksurfdude and 8 others 11 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

ejgaudette Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Played last Friday going 43/42 with one birdie, one double and too many bogeys for sure. Driver was on point throughout the round, really only having one shot that led to a lost shot, everything else was fairway of just barely off. Putting was tough with some very quick greens currently as the season is wrapping up here in NH. Also breaking in some new wedges so missed some shots for inside 100 that I am usually much closer on. Still fun, need to enjoy the golf while its still here.

Rickp Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 No “Bacon Boys”. Tee Times are rewarded in a points system and by groups avg. Our group avg was very high week along with Snowb.......I mean “Seasonal Residents” are flowing in and no points. So until they start playing Friday catching up w the points we’re kinda hurtin. It’ll level out by end of month, happens every fall.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy GolfSpy_SHARK, artful_golfer, MattF and 1 other 3 1 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...

This is an all time low for me at this course(Bonneville GC), and all I can think about is the 3 double chips and 3 three putts that put me 6 over... My game is always in great shape just as the season ends here in Utah: hopefully another 6 weeks of golfing weather at least Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy That's some serious distance.

Kenny B Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 2 hours ago, CarlH said: Played fairly well today, but ball striking was not all that great. Shot 78; 2 birdies (one on each side) and doubled both par 3s on the backside . 39/39 (par is 37/35 for this course setup). Good job!! Course setup is the same at my course. The par 37 front nine is more difficult and hilly so a tougher walk. The pa4 35 back nine is reasonably flat. All of my 9-hole walking rounds are on the front nine. cksurfdude and artful_golfer 2 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...

Rather than all 3 nines starting and returning from the clubhouse, it's set up where you either play holes 1-18 (Rogue Course (par 36/36)), the inside 9 (par 35), or what we call the crossover, where we play holes 1-3, 13-18, then the inside 9 (Original course or Chandler Egan Course (par 37/35)). Holes 4-12 were added later and became the standard course. Obviously, the pro shop determines which course you can play on any given day. The normal course is the Rogue. The inside 9 is the tougher of the 3 nines.

The inside 9 is the tougher of the 3 nines. Our front nine and holes 10-11 are near the clubhouse. To get to holes 12-18 we have to take a tunnel to cross a 4 lane street (walkers jaywalk). Good thing it's not a busy street!! It's easy to play 12 holes and finish by the parking lot. When you cross the street, #13-15 are as far as you can get from the clubhouse.

Peaksy68 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 My recent poor form continued. Started ok but fell in a big hole. Course is very wet and as soft as I’ve seen it. Greens are still slow and very bumpy after some work nearly 2 months ago. Motivation is a bit low. Hopefully the course improves soon.

ncwoz Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Played 9 at a short muni, used two balls and kept two scores as a little practice round. I tried to be a little more aggressive off the tee than I typically am to see how it worked. One ball was +7 (net +2), the other +1 (net -4), and the +7 was really due to two silly doubles that didn't have much to do with the more aggressive shots off the tee. I think I need to start getting more aggressive off the tee box next year. I also continue to miss a bunch of birdie putts haha. Not sure what the deal is, because I feel like I hit way more equivalent length par putts. I think I just need to keep giving myself good looks until I'm not so spooked by the chance to make birdie haha. cnosil, Kenny B, cksurfdude and 3 others 6 Quote Right Handed Driver: 9° Speedzone (HZRDUS Smoke Green 70g X-Stiff shaft) 2 Hybrid: 18° Exotics EXS Pro (Evenflow Black 6.5) (2020 MGS Official Review here) 3/Driving Iron: 18° UiHi Iron (MMT Utility TX 105g shaft) Irons: 4-GW T100 irons (Nippon Modus 120 X-Stiff shafts) (2021 MGS Official Review here) Wedges: 54° & 58° TSW Forged (Dynamic Gold S300) Putter: ER2B (2019 MGS Official Review here) Ball: MAXFLI Tour X Bag: Hoofer Lite WITB thread here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
