B4 the round we’re getting the “shoot mid 80’s on home course in MD 7,700 yds”!! Really...... Checked out his clubs( Titleist T200 irons all brand new with Cally woods). He’s a good 15 years younger than most of us. Welllll, after 4 holes I couldn’t help myself, told him to slow down and just play his game. He was everywhere except on the course and not very far. Dunno if he even got even a double. Golf is a humbling game. Just nervous playing with studs like you guys!!

dlow206 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Had an interesting round. Shot 103. Usually that means an all around terrible round. However, off the tee I was fine, no OB balls. Approach shots were ok, nothing really bad there. So where did all those extra shots come from. The first answer is bunkers. First bunker I was in, took two shots to get out, next bunker took three shots, last bunker, couldn't get out, just picked up the ball and took the max score on the hole. Thats more than 8 shots to get out of three bunkers. I have always been a bad bunker player, buts its getting worse and getting in my head. Also, when I finally get out of the bunker, its usually out by like a foot or two out of the bunker, so its nowhere near the hole. Second place I lost shots is short putts. Lag putting was ok, but I miss so many putts that are in the 5 foot range. I know even for pros, 5 footers are not automatic. But I probably made only like 10% of my 5 footers.

Bunker shots are something I never practice, the courses here locally don't have many. I paid the price for that the time I played Bear Trace. Took me four shots to get out of a bunker on a par five. Just kept hitting them so bad, they rolled back in. It sounds like the rest of your game is starting to come along good. Keeping driver in play all round is something to be proud of and it sounds like all the work you've been putting in with the irons is paying off. Man, your swing is looking so good on the videos you've posted. It's a pleasure getting to watch the transformation of your golf game. You're honestly an inspiration for me.

My old course had no bunkers. My current course has many! When I moved here, I was terrible out of the sand. After 4 years of it, I wasn't much better and had no confidence. Watch Monte's bunker videos... Use the Bounce 2. I watched many times, and did exactly what he said; a couple of setup changes and make your normal swing. Now, I don't fear them anymore, and I am confident that I can get out every time. I am now working on getting the ball close to the hole. I've had several sandy pars, and I would have had a sandy birdie if that *#%! pool noodle wasn't in the hole!!

CarlH Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Mr 14 strikes again! Played the front 9 at 1 over (37)...then on the back I make 4 double bogeys to shoot 8 over for an 81. Unreal! Double on 10 was set up by a really piss-poor shot pitch that came up short and the next one ran out 15 feet. Double on the par 5 #12 was drive catching a tree limb at the dogleg, followed by a topped 3 wood. Double on 17 when I pulled the drive in the trees where I couldn't get to the green, followed by a 40 yard pitch that came up short and buried itself in the side of the bunker. Double on 18 was another errant drive forcing a pitchout, then short siding my approach shot leaving myself an impossible short chip to a pin location that was on the upper tier and sloping away from me. 14 holes of good golf. 4 holes of mistakes.

Finally had a couple of days of sun and no rain so I headed out to the course. It was sunny, very little wind, and 35*. Ground was generally frozen or completely saturated. Struggled my way around the course with lots of bogeys, doubles, and even worse. Kind of got things together toward the end of the round but still a disaster of a round. Didn't keep score, but pretty sure it was in the 90s. It was nice getting to the course to play, but I need some practice to get my swing back in shape.

I am tempted to try a more mid kick point shaft to see if that helps with launch off the deck. sirchunksalot 1 Quote Follow my journey to enjoying golf and going low Driver: Epic Max LS Ventus Black 6x 44.5" 3wHL: Rogue ST LS 75x Tensei AV Blue w/ xlink 7w: Apex UW 21* MMT 80S DI: Caley 01X 18* with KBS PGH Stiff plus 95g 4-AW: 0211 with KBS Tour Stiff 2.5* up 3/4" long, Soft stepped, MOI matched Wedges Zipcore Putter: L.A.B.

Long term, I am going to learn to hit a bunker shot with a normal wedge. Short term, I need something that will just get me out of the bunker. I saw that in the other thread after I posted in this one. I'm sticking with mine for the long term...for now. sirchunksalot and RollingGreens 2 Quote In the bag: Driver: Darkspeed X 9° UST Mamiya LIN-Q M40X Blue 7F4 Fairway: Apex UW 19° & 21° Project X HZRDUS Smoke RDX Black 5.5 Irons: JPX 923 HMP 5-PW UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Wedges: T-22 Denim Copper 48°, 52° & 56° UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Putter Sycamore 005 Wide Blade Bag: Fairway 14 stand bag Balls: Chrome Tour Cart: CaddyLite ONE Ver. 8 God Bless America, God save the King, God defend New Zealand and thank Christ for Australia!

Popular Post PMookie Posted February 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2021 Tied my lowest round ever! 74 (36/38), 31 putts, at Beaver Creek in Zachary, LA. Three-putted 18 to miss my best round! Ugh!!!! Wind was adding 15-20 yards in the face, but I still hit everything solid. Best round of chipping I had in a long time!
