how did that work out for you?

It’s a substitute for a 3w, so I only had the opportunity to hit it once, off the tee, and it did quite well but still a lot more trial opportunities to come in the future.

Beautiful Wednesday morning 60*, Sun breaking thru with light breeze @ 8:00am.
Shot a +4, 40 with no birdies, slid putts by the hole too many times.
Driver came to play but irons wanted to sleep in, putter didn’t like the wet slowish greens.

Glad to see you got out.  How's the shoulder holding up?

Might want to give a PlaneMate a look if shallowing is your concern...

Shoulder is good but there is still minor discomfort, I am actively pushing ROM as far as possible to maximize turn with no issues. I have been slacking a bit on weight training and rehab work but hit 200+ on squats and 250+ on DLs over the past month or two which are the highest since before COVID lockdowns in 2020. Need to progress these up to 250 and 300 respectively. I also tied a personal best of 190 carry with a 6 iron last night using this new backswing position from Gankas which is up 10 yards from average on that club. SC200 gave around 90 MPH club head speed, but I never fully trust that number from the unit. 

When we arrived at the course it was just over 40F and frost was still coming out of the ground in shaded areas. Left side back muscles were pretty tight which was the bigger issue for this round. Until, my new Adidas golf shoes gave me a blister the size of a quarter on the back of my foot by about hole 10. 

Planemate is tempting, might try to buy one 2nd hand as people give up using them. I have found a couple drills without a club to exaggerate the shallowing. This is nice indoors in sets of 5. Really trying to figure out the queues and feels to get my lower body rotation driven the transition.

Deja vu of yesterday with another 41/41 ... triple bogey on #3 when I couldn't get out of the dense sand trap (and I'm normally a decent trap player) ... double on the back.

Round one of 2021 is in the books, heck first swings of 2021, and it was... meh. No scorecard but this was the course I played for iron only round last year that I shot 81. Today was worse than that but we were able to recover on the second nine.

For those of you wondering about how the SIK would perform in live action, it put some good rolls and held the line. Speed was tricky but after a few holes it was better. Driver was also going ok. No real two way miss which was a problem last season.

The downside, iron play was a tragedy. Fat, fatter, and some would say fattest. Could get better with more time, but I'm looking at our local First Tee auction with some lessons packages in there. Might need a tune up before I try to really get playing in a good way.

In all, it was... a thing.

... Well I have had 4 months of mediocre, out right bad and some occasionally pretty decent golf but only 3 total at par or under out of about 100 rounds. That said, I think I am finally figuring out desert golf and the conditions have improved quite a bit. Greens are rolling much better and I actually have some confidence in my reads now. What has been hardpan around the greens has grown in with just enough wiry Bermuda grass to miss a chip/pitch by 1/16th of an inch and not bounce into the ball. Today was one of those days where everything was working and I only had one bad shot when I hit a 9 iron a little fat from a downhill lie and missed a 6 footer on #8 hitting the low side and lipping out. Hit a drive into the last bunker on 18 that takes my best drive to even reach resulting in my only bogie of the day to stop me from having a clean card ... sigh. The rest of the day was my best round this year shooting under my age for the first time. And I am really, really liking my King Tour irons.

Played Tuesday. Weather was solid with highs in the 70s and maybe low 80s. Course was slammed as you can imagine which meant a lot of hit and wait. 

Had a few pars and a couple of doubles. Ended with a 46 which seems to be my going average. If I'm going to improve this year my short game and putting has to be much better.

Oh so close...!!!  Dang it!!

Got a call yesterday from my buddy that plays on a different course in town; the one I sometimes sub for their game of Wolf.  Their course was closed for the plugging and sanding that my course went through last week.  They needed a fourth for their Wolf game today and it was going to be at MY course!!!  I played on Sunday and shot 78 so I was feeling pretty good about my game, but I went to the range on Tuesday and I sucked at hitting anything.  So what will show up today?

The 3 other guys are all about the same skill level as I am; 2 of them have a lower HI index; one is a little higher.  The temp was mid-50's and the wind was 15-20 with higher gusts.  I only hit 8 of 13 fairways and 4 GIR, BUT I birdied three of those holes;  #4, 14 and 17.  I was +3 of the front nine and -1 on the back nine for my best score in a few years... 74, and one shot over my age!!!  

Hole #14 is a risk/reward par4 that is drivable for the big hitters.  I usually lay up, but today with the wind I decided to try to drive it over a hazard and large sand trap; came up short but in the sand a foot from the elevated green, and 30 yards short of the pin.  I hit my 54º wedge to 2 feet for a sandy birdie on a par 4!!!  There were a couple of holes that could have been a lot better... like the par 5 #6 hole where I hit a tree and had a double sandy bogey.  I could have shot my age!!  In a month it would be good enough!!

I rarely beat the two guys with a lower index, especially on their course, but on my course I have an advantage.  They shot 78 and 79... the other guy shot 88. 

 

I sent and email about my round to my coach, Monte Scheinblum, who I spent 3 days with a couple of weeks ago.  He posted it on his Instagram page!!!

Attending a Monte clinic is a treat and well worth the investment in your golf game.

Shot a 44/42:86 today from the White Tees(Flat Belly 6,049 yards) as I was playing with my Grandsons. Had one birdie on the Par 5 #17 today, almost an Eagle as my 108 yard approach shot hit the pin! We had a blast today.Image1618005710.872690.thumb.jpg.726968f0329a39fd556a13a7ae1c98a7.jpg

One Grandson hit his drive on #14 next to a tree. When we found his ball, we also saw this.....

I planted some shrubs around our condo yesterday. Being retired and slightly tight in the wallet, I decided to use a trowel I had in the garage instead of buying a shovel. 
What does that have to do with how you played today? I didn't realize I had gotten a blister in the middle of my palm from the trowel - which made itself known when it broke on the first hole today. IMG_8153.JPG.5d2bd9791a5b2a8000f3a7b7922e3e31.JPG 
 
Not a fun experience especially since it was on my left hand - being a lefty wearing right handed gloves. Still ended up carding a 93. Biting down on the bullet whenever I gripped the club really helped. 

That’s gonna hurt for a while
