Popular Post Shapotomous Posted March 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2021 I got out for the first 18 of the year today....on mostly brown grass. I had 10 pars, 4 doubles and 4 bogeys. The greens are still real bumpy and slow, lots of bare spots. They are supposed to aerate them and sand / seed them next week. I hope they fill in this spring. cnosil, Grand Stranded, CarlH and 7 others 10 Quote Modern Bag: G410 LST 10.5*, Hzrdus Smoke RDX 6.5 Flex; 915F 3w, Diamana S+ 70 S flex; Snake Eyes 18* 2h, 23* 4h & 27* 5h; JPX 900 Forged 6 - PW, PX LZ 6.0; Edison 2.0 49*, 53*, 57* KBS Tour 120 S; Heppler Fetch; Ball - MTB-X; Bag - Jones MyGolfSpy Edition!

Kenny B Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 3 hours ago, Tom the Golf Nut said: The rough is a different type of grass than the fairway. The rough stays green all year. The fairways go dormant after first frost and then start to turn green again after there are no more frost mornings. Should start turning green in about two to three weeks. The greens are a different grass as well. They are green all year. I love playing on dormant bermuda; better than when it's green actually. Loved River Islands east of Knoxville.

Popular Post Kenny B Posted March 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2021 What an interesting couple of rounds this weekend here at home. On Friday my wife and I drove down to Albany Oregon to spring my dad out of rehab after he fell on Christmas Day, cracking his pelvis and 2 vertebrae in his neck. We moved him up here so he could be close to us. We left at 5am, drove 290 miles, picked up dad, then drove 290 miles home. Got here about 4pm. Then we had a 7:38am tee time on Saturday. It was cold and windy; 44º with winds 15-30 mph. I shot 44/40; didn't have a double bogey or worse!! I had 4 putts longer than 6 feet that I made to save bogey, otherwise my score could have been a lot worse. Today was a little warmer and the wind was only 10-15 mph. Still not very good on the front nine; shot 43 with one double. However, I started hitting some better shots on the back nine; had birdies on #11 and #14 and shot 36... so a round of 79. This is my first sub-80 round this year. The way I've been playing lately, I was beginning to think I didn't have any more rounds in the 70's in me!!

revkev Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 A few days late but on Wednesday I got out and shot a best ever score of 85! Didn't really do anything incredible, just played pretty solid golf and was able to scramble when I did get in trouble. No birdies, but only one triple, two doubles, and a bunch of pars and bogeys. Putting is normally my strongest part but had been miserable recently (one round with three 4-putts) but felt good again. Chipping was solid and left myself with some short ones which led to 5 holes with 1 putt or less and 31 total putts for the round. Previous best was 87 and going to par 5 18th at 79 really wanted to get 85. Don't think I hit a shot more than 100 yards on that hole but got up and down for bogey. Now I just need to get in enough work with driver so I can hit that off the tee instead of 3-wood every time!Good for you!Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Curtis Atkinson and sirchunksalot 2 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...

Popular Post NRJyzr Posted March 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Had quite the interesting round yesterday. First round of the year at "my course," which opened for the season the day before. Shot an 86, which I'm actually quite pleased with. Why, you ask? Or even if you don't ask, LOL.... we had steady 25mph winds yesterday, gusting higher. I saw a 43mph gust was recorded in the Twin Cities. So yeah. An 86 is quite lovely. The wind was from the south. An interesting aspect of this course is that there are more holes playing from north to south than from south to north. Adding to that, my friend and I both seemed to never get much benefit from the tailwind shots. Into the wind, it was 3 to 4 clubs but downwind, we didn't even get a full single club assistance. Wind was such that it knocked the shots down instead of pushing them. Oh well. Overall, a good time, but I think I'd be fine forgoing conditions like that for a couple months.

Popular Post cksurfdude Posted March 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2021 More good news to report... Got in the second 9-hole round of this season on an incredible Spring-like day - so, yeah, *everyone* was out and the round was kinda slow .. our start time was pushed back like 20 minutes - but I was hitting the ball pretty well so it was all good! Two firsts for me: 1. missed a green long on the fly (8i and GPS watch said 154 to back edge .. slightly downhill and downwind); 2. drove a green (4W from just over 200 and ball rolled onto the front). Also hit or nearly hit most other greens; iron and wedge play are really starting to show good improvement. Of course, all this wonderfulness had to be counter-balanced by something - had trouble matching up line + speed while putting... Felt like most of my strokes made were on my intended line but burned a bunch of edges; had one total mis-read on a birdie chance where the ball rolled in the total opposite direction when it got near the cup (made the par save .. whew!). 3-putted a few times, too - which I kinda "expect" on this course with its very sloped and contoured (aka treacherous, deceiving, conniving) greens. But offset that with a few decent lag putts up and over some of those maniacal slopes Oh, PS: My lovely wife / golfing partner .. who claims she's not competitive yet beat me soundly in our on-going putting contest = fewer putts per round .. won the right to buy happy hour!

That's what we're all about. Its not as heavy as I thought it would be with the battery. I guy at my club had an older competitor model and it took two people to get it out of the trunk. It used a car type battery. Technology, got to love it. Still pretty pricey at roughly $1500 though. I would also need the down hill automatic braking feature.

fixyurdivot Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Well now, I may just have to keep the new sticks in the box until the current mojo on the G410's wanes. Do you think it possible clubs get a "sense" of change in the wind? 39/42 at Desert Hills today. B2B rounds with some solid ball striking and some long (for me) drives. Just on the apron on the 505 yard par 5 #6 in two and putted for the Big Bird - rolled right up to the cup and stopped short a couple of inches. I have added a new pre-shot routine, between my ears, reminding myself of tempo (so important for me). I played with a young guy (late 20's I'm guessing), from Kentucky, who is with the National Guard and here on a one year assignment assisting Border Patrol. He hit it a ton... nearly drove the 310 yard #13 with a 3w .

CarlH Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 1 hour ago, Tom the Golf Nut said: Thanks, no worries about jumping in. That's what we're all about. Its not as heavy as I thought it would be with the battery. I guy at my club had an older competitor model and it took two people to get it out of the trunk. It used a car type battery. Technology, got to love it. Still pretty pricey at roughly $1500 though. I would also need the down hill automatic braking feature. I think i could pick up a good used club car for a few hundred more. I remember those! about 20 years ago, I bought a Kangaroo. Was able to store it at the club, so no worries. When I moved here, they said no room to store it for me, so I had to schlep it back and forth in the car. That didn't last long and I sold it! Weighed a ton with that big 6V battery. fozcycle, cksurfdude, MattF and 1 other 4 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.

sp0rtsfan86 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Played 3rd 9 of 2021 and mirrored a lot of my rounds so far. Couldn't hit the driver on a few holes and had to scramble. Had a 3 putt while mulling over a swing change and not devoting attention to the 4 foot comeback. Parred the next hole. Then took an ugly ugly ESC 8 by nearly hitting an iron lay up in the water, chipping it out, thinning a short iron into a bunker and taking 2 to get out of the sand. Of course that was the 9th hole and was on pace to end with a 45 with a par... instead ended with a 48.

MattF Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Played at The National at Ave Maria yesterday and shot a lackluster 96. 77% of fairways on the front and 11% on the back...dunno what happened. Shot Scope doesn't have the course mapped because it's brand new, so I tracked it for them and they'll use my raw data to start mapping it. Looking at Google, there's nothing on the satellite view. I'm writing a small review and posting a lot of pics that I took in the Courses section. I'll add a link to it here when I'm done.

cksurfdude Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 16 hours ago, Tom the Golf Nut said: Two questions What course did you play? How much does the MGI Zip Navigator weigh and is it easy getting out of the trunk of a car. This was at an Executive 9 hole in Port Washington, NY - Harbor Links. Short but presents plenty of obstacles and challenges off the tee (in addition to the homicidal greens ). One advantage that day was the wind was very light! 13 hours ago, GaDawg said: Sorry to jump in, but listed below is the folded dimensions and weight. - FOLDED DIMENSIONS (INVERTED REAR WHEELS): 27.55' x 18.5' x 16.5' INCHES - WEIGHT (NO BATTERY): 28.6lbs - WEIGHT (WITH BATTERY): 34.96lbs Good info! Yeah it's heavy but not overly so. Very easy to detach the battery and carry it separately, eg. back into the garage for recharging. Also, depending on your vehicle, the rear wheels can be popped off and turned around (for the "Inverted" dimensions above). Yes, pricey but should last many seasons with very little maintenance! tony@CIC, MattF and fixyurdivot 3 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ...
