What I found interesting is I have eagled 2, 4 and 10 from the Silver tees and birdie them quite often, but moving up I didn't birdie any of them from the gold tees. Twice I evidently thought I was a high index player swinging too hard because it was so tempting to easily get on in two and I hit poor tee shots. Interesting comments. Out of curiosity, would you say there was a mental issue/lack of commitment that had some influence on the quality of the shots? cksurfdude and sirchunksalot 2 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: TM-180 Testing: Backups: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of concentration. #8 is a short hole where I lay up from the silver as it is about a 240 carry over water to reach the green, but from the golds tees were back and it was 222 by my rangefinder so I drove the green and the water certainly demanded my concentration. I didn't recognize I swung too hard til after the shot and as you know it doesn't take much. Not like I swung out of my shoes, I just gave both drives a little extra resulting in a low draw and a high push. The other 2 par fives I just missed the green and the Bermuda rough is brutal right now. If I play the golds again I will be aware of playing different tees and play my normal game.

I know a lot of folks who do trail running (admittedly much different than golf, but while we're on the topic of sweaty feet) have moved away from waterproof shoes for the simple fact that your feet will get wet one way or another, and when you're out on the trails for hours the more important question is how fast do your shoes dry out. In that case the waterproofing that keeps water out also keeps water in. I tend to sweat a lot in general (even at near freezing temps when I'm running I wear shorts) so on hot summer days my feet will always sweat. The difference is whether or not that sweat gets trapped in the shoes or not. ejgaudette, Rickp and cksurfdude 3 Quote Driver - Radspeed XB, Aldila Rogue Silver 70-S 3 Wood - Radspeed, Aldila Rogue Silver 70-S 5 Wood - Radspeed, Fujikura Motore X F3 6-S 7 Wood - 0341x Gen 4, Mitsubishi Tensei AV Raw Blue 75-S Irons - Pro 225 4-5, 223 6-PW, KBS $-Taper 120 Wedges - King Cobra Snakebite 52° & 58°, KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 S Putter - Stroke Lab Black Ten 35" Ball - Chrome Soft X LS Powered by 2020 ExPutt Official Review | 2021 Cobra Connect Five Participant | 2023 SuperSpeed Official Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juspoole Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Played what could be the last of a just a few rounds left for the year. Hoping to get out a couple more times, but we will see what my schedule and weather allows. Initially had an 8:45 tee time, but after an hour and half FROST delay, I got off to play. The weather turned out to be pretty nice in the low 50's and luckily there was no wind, so no issue on temperature. Had a fairly average round, but happy with ball striking. The driver was a bit chaotic until the 12th hole, so I need to get that worked on. I kept having an odd yardage for me of 113 yards (3 times). Each time the pin was in the back so I elected to hit a hard SW and I was just a bit off so I was left 35 feet where I usually would expect to be a bit closer. Maybe I should have hit the easy GW, but just did not want to go long and short side myself. Putted pretty well even though I had a couple 3 putts. Had several slide by and was happy with my putts expect for the two that I had over 50 feet and hit one too hard and left one woefully short.

Ben_Howell34 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Played Inverness Country Club in Birmingham. Shot 92, probably should’ve rescheduled because weather was pretty rough, but hey I love the game. Cold and rainy probably cost me 5-7 strokes. Fun yet quirky course with good greens in my opinion.

JerryB Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Played Edgebrook down in Sandwich yesterday with my son, my dad, and a retired friend of mine. Weather was great for this time of year, though a touch chilly, and the course was super wet from the constant rain from the past week. We all played pretty badly but we had a great time. Everything was shaggy and wet and I just couldn't adjust. Lots of chunky shots. Driver was offline a lot. Irons, if they weren't short, they were pulled left. Putting was...surprisingly decent. I tried more of a Happy Gilmore-style of putting where my hands were separated and I was facing more towards the hole than the ball. LOL, drove my son nuts watching me do it, but it worked out pretty well. Shot of the day was a 52 foot putt that stopped just inches to the right of the cup. We combined to shoot about 430 (104 for me). That plus the constant bathroom breaks for the two old guys lead to a near six hour round. But we had a great time and I hope to get the same group together a few times next season.

Tom the Golf Nut Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Weather was crap for the past week. Rained every day. There was a break today so I took advantage. Still overcast but in the 50's. Everything was soft and it was a lift clean and place kind of day. I actually felt good playing and I was the only one on the course at 10:15. No birdies but a few lip outs for tap ins. I hit everything straight as an arrow. Managed a 72 but it actually felt better than that. Driver was spot on and I was hitting 240 consistantly in soft wet conditions. Really liking the Maxfli Tour ball. I'm glad I got to test it because it will be my gamer for next season for sure. cksurfdude, CarlH, sirchunksalot and 5 others 8 Quote Driver, TSi 1 S Flex 3 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 7 Wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 Hybrid King Tec MMT R Flex Irons, Tour UST Recoil 95 R Flex (6 - Gap) Wedges, Snakebite KBS Hi- Rev2.0 54* & 60* Agera 35" Ultralight 14-way Cart Bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingGreens Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Nothing but rain in northeast Ohio the last 2 weeks. Played yesterday and the course was Saturated but playable. Only a few other knuckleheads outside myself playing. 46/45. It was the best I putted but boy was I chunking the ball. It was so soaked, you literally had to lick the ball off the turf.

Haro Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Got a game in. Had not played for almost a month. Day getting short started play at 1 pm and only able to get 16 holes in before it got dark and colder Was too stubborn and trying to draw my irons cause I had great success last time last time out. For whatever draw reason work on the first green. But was not that reliable. I could not aim for the pin which is what worked really well when my draw is working. Ended up hitting the fade for last part of the round to get on green my wedge play was slightly off. Felt like i needed a slight forward press.which I though I eliminated Guess it a feel thing Putting was bad. Maybe there too many things going on in my head cause I been practising putting indoors and there’s too many theory in my head Has three putted 4 holes Ended up putting the last 6 holes with my hybrid which was much better Anyways I happy to be outdoors today. I think that’s it’s for the season but I know I said a month ago cksurfdude, Kenny B, CarlH and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I didn't play yesterday; my wife played with the Ladies Group, so I had to stay home while the tree pruning guy was here. I picked up the branches, and I was more sore than usual today. But that didn't stop us from playing today! Rolled into the clubhouse parking lot at 9am for a 9:46 tee time... 34º with a few clouds, some sun and a slight north wind. Putting the cart cover on the rental cart helped, along with the 4 layers of clothes. Of course, couldn't swing very well... driver particularly. Worst driving day in quite awhile. Hit my irons pretty well; too bad my aim was off. Chipping and putting was the usual... pretty good. It helped when the sun came out a little more and I shed a layer. Warmed up to 50º. Shot 82. More rain coming tomorrow.

NRJyzr Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Played twice over the weekend. On a lark, because it's near end of season and this is my MO every year at end of season, I'm doing all kinds of stuff. Amusingly and ironically, in spite of hitting my Original One well lately, I put my Cobra SpeedZone in the bag a couple weeks ago. And, instead of one of my usual shafts for it, I put an Aldila NV ProtoPype 80 in it, at 44", which is a half inch longer than I've been playing driver the last couple years. So of course, I've hit it well, unlike how I hit this stick when I first got it. LOL I've also been playing Ping Eye2+ irons, because it's experiment season. Also threw my test 6 iron with Fuji Pro 115 shaft in the bag, which I used for every 6i shot that came up. Ironic that I had quite a few 6i shots. For Sunday, I put my Ping Scottsdale TR Craz-E in the bag, it was a Xmas-gift-card purchase several years ago, and largely hasn't worked for me. See "experiment mode" again. Also removed the test 6i for Sunday, played it as a normal round. Saturday, score wasn't good, shot 87. Irons were not good to occasionally OK, except for the test 6i, which I hit quite well, and a 3i shot on the long par 3 #16, into the wind. Actually putted well using my Golden Ram blade putter, making my Sunday putter choice even dumber than usual. Sunday was different. Shot +2 on the front, which was as high as I could've shot; the putter was the problem. Specifically, I didn't adjust to distance control with the slower response in the center of the putter face from the TR grooves. I left a lot of putts a foot short, but on line. Back nine was +6, with a double on the par 3 #13 after a screaming hook 6i some 40 yds left of the green. It's funny how tough it is to get up and down pitching back to a green that runs away from you, when you've also shortsided yourself. Shocking. A 79 on a day I couldn't make a putt, thanks to my amazing thinking about experimentation. I'll take it.

Popular Post cnosil Posted November 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2021 Nice day for golf but mediocre results. 40/43:83 Iron striking and wedge/short game play were all pretty good; putting could use some work and I hit some really bad tee shots. Gong to spend some time this week assessing my putting and the putter I have in the bag. During my post round assessment I realized I need to work on my mental side as I seem to be losing focus during the round and just going through a semi focused routine. Need to evaluate my pre shot approach to help maintain focus for 18 holes; based on DECADE teachings this is a difficult thing to do. Also wondering if it is a food related thing as I play though my normal lunch time but only consume water during a round. sirchunksalot, Rickp, JerryB and 10 others 13 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: TM-180 Testing: Backups: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRJyzr Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) Forgot to add.... Yesterday's round, I also put my Tour Edge E8 Beta strong 3w in play, in the 3w slot. It's 12* spec, but I believe it's actually closer to 13* (based on my completely scientific exam with a protractor, LOL). I cut it down to 42.5". Has a Rogue Silver 70 in it. Had a few occasions to hit it, including a shot from 235-240 off the deck into a stiff wind. Not sure I have any business hitting such a club off the deck any longer, but it worked pretty well. I got caught up in the rough, my shot would have reached the green if I could have kept it in the fairway/apron leading up to it. Gave me a brief feeling of ruggedness about my game.
