juspoole Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Was able to figure out a reason to travel to South Carolina for work and had enough time to get to play golf one of the days. Played at True Blue for the first time and really enjoyed the course. I was a single, but ended up playing with the foursome in front of me who were playing quickly and playing the same tees as me. Had a great round minus about 4 bad shots over the whole day. Hole of the day was the par 5 9th that I eagled. Hit a great 2 hybrid from 237 into wind and had 8 feet and was able to make the putt. Blue Tees - 6812 yardage (not much roll out on drives so played pretty long) Score: 75 FIR: 11/13 GIR: 11/18 Putts: 31 JerryB, DStar, MattF and 5 others 8 Quote Driver: Mavrik Sub Zero 9* (Set to 10) Ventus Blue 6X 2 Hybrid: TSI3 Hybrid Tensei Blue 80 X (17.25*) 3 Hybrid 818 H2 Hybrid Hzrdus RDX Black 6.5 (20.5*) 4 Iron - T200 4 Iron Graphite Design Tour AD IZ X Hybrid Shaft Irons 5-PW: T100-S 5 - GW KBS Tour 130 X Gap/Sand Wedge: Vokey SM6 49* SM8 54* Lob Wedge: Jaws 5 Wedge 58* DG Tour Issue Stiff Putter: Phantom 5.5 34" Pro Platinum Newport 2 35" Taylormade Tour Black Spider 34" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, it was a great day for sure - Besides one drive that put me behind a tree, I was hitting better than I ever have. Also helped to join the group of members ahead of me for some insight to each hole. Really fun round. 18 hours ago, Syks7 said: Definitely on my list the next time my in-laws rent a place in Pawleys. You played slightly down the road at Caledonia yet? Another Strantz gem. Not just yet, I had actually planned to play there instead, but they had a tournament going on. Apparently it worked out for the best as the members I was playing with said they have recently lost 6 of the greens and it's not up to par with True Blue at the moment. Also with my game off the tee, the tighter courses are usually tough for me. Length usually is no issue, but keeping them straight off the tee can be a challenge at times. Luckily I had it clicking the other day. True Blue will certainly be on my list if I'm back in the area.

Sluggo42 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 This will be a tale of two events, the first being a stag day least Wednesday, which was a true scramble. We didn’t win by a long shot, but we got an eagle and a closest to pin for a few bucks and balls. The interesting part was me buying a brand new sleeve of ProV1x’s. I NEVER play new balls as I’ve got so many that I find, I just play nice ones. but here’s the interesting part. I hit so many long drives it was eerie. I mean 20-30 yards longer than a normal good drive. I have been longer of late with my “John Daly” swing, but dayum, these new balls were just flying. It’s making me rethink the whole “new balls” theory. ok, second half of recent events. I just had my gall bladder removed on last Monday and so I’m obviously grounded. They’re telling me no lifting over 15 lbs for 4 weeks… anyways, fat chance I can wait that long to swing, but I guess I’ll let the pain be my guide. Has anyone else had a similar operation? And how long did it take to recover? They did it robotically with just the one cut in the belly button, so it’s supposed to be less traumatic… anyways, this week has been terrible weather and cold as a witches …uh, well, and next week is 50% rain all week, so I may have picked the best possible time slot for it all anyways… cheers y’all, sluggo RollingGreens, cksurfdude, MattF and 2 others 5 Quote TSr2 on tensi blue stiff Speedzone 3-wood on Tensi blue S Epic Max 5 and 7 woods on HZRDUS Reg flex Paradym 9 wood on HZRDUS reg flex P770 / P790 combo set on Ventus R-6 shafts 6-AW T22 Denim Copper 54°, 58° on Kinetic X Trajectory ER3 or, E.A.S. #4 (“Fang” or “Adele”) ProV1x, or, Maxfli Tour X .Org 14 cart bag Adidas Tour 360 , or Sketcher shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing you want to do is tear it open. The body is amazing at healing but it takes time. I had my spleen removed through the belly button and it did take four weeks before I could do a full swing without any pulling sensation. I was chipping and putting after about 2 weeks but I used one of those ball picker upper things on the end of the club because bending over to get the ball out of the cup was NOT GOOD! Before I could comfortably swing balls to the walls was probably in the neighborhood of 5 to 6 weeks. Be smart and take it one step at a time and gradually push yourself. Your body will tell you when enough is enough. Sometimes it's the sudden things that let you know " not yet". A sneeze, stepping in a depression you didn't see, a slight stumble from catching your foot on a mat or curb. If it hurts stop. If you over do it, it will take that much longer to heal.

Those of us that played sports and in our younger years "fought through the pain" have learned the hard way that doesn't work past 50, and the older you get the more important it is. I probably could have avoided a frozen shoulder had I stopped when the pain started. Same with the tendonitis in my elbow right now. Fought through it for several rounds until the pain increased exponentially. After taking 10 days off I am in rehab now and fighting my way back but I probably could have avoided it altogether had I stopped and began rehab after the first 2 rounds when I knew it wasn't a one time event.

That's too bad about the greens, but I'm not super surprised, I was there in June and if you can believe it they were having a hard time with water. It hadn't rained in months and they were legitimately having a small drought and the heat, even with the humidity, was baking everything. I think when you eventually play it (with your index) you won't have an issue. You're just going to have to be a lot more tactical off the tee.

Kind of pricey and the course is on the short side. Par 70 and 6526 from the tips. I think I paid $200 to play it last year. My biggest issue was the dam ducks as tee markers (Pintail, Mallard, Wood Duck and Redhead). One duck looks like another to me. I must have hit from the wrong tees three times.

I need them for distance but if i wear them it throws me way off when hitting the ball and when putting. If you don't hit the ball very far like I do, they are easier to see. I quit wearing glasses for the same reason. I can see white OK if it's a clear sunny day, but yellow is much better for cloudy days, and we get a lot of those days in Jan/Feb.

Ben_Howell34 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Played Ross Bridge in Birmingham yesterday, had a great deal going so took advantage. Was a little damp and misting rain first couple holes but around 70* so not that bad. Only got 16 in due to a cutoff time with family and the two groups in front of us being so slow, but played pretty well, was +11. Given the conditions and how tough the course is usually, I was happy with that. Finished it off with a 30 footer for birdie from off the green, so that’ll keep me coming back!

Kenny B Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 14 hours ago, Kenny B said: I just bought some Titleist Tour Soft Yellow Balls to play on these gray, cold days. They were my goto winter balls last year, and I haven't found anything else that works as well. Trying them out tomorrow in 41º temp tomorrow. Well..... that didn't happen!! Woke up to snow on the ground; probably melt off but I think I'm done playing until after Christmas. Several inches of snow coming tomorrow night.

There is a well known solution to this problem, this time of year. Humans have always been nomadic... we've just changed the reasons for the moves .

Popular Post RollingGreens Posted December 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2021 Got out on Thursday for what is likely the last round of the year. High 50s with wind near 30mph. It was a good 9. Got the driver back in tune and the irons never lost a beat. Couldn’t really test out putting or wedges because we are playing with temporary pins. Don’t really blame them for golf in northeast Ohio to have the temporaries already out. Shot even par for the 9 which is good. Only lost one ball with the course being wet and leaves still in the rough.

Popular Post Jmikecpa Posted December 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2021 Played 9 today with the pro at my club in VA and for 4 holes we looked like we were both players at several under par. Won’t talk about the rest of the 9 but it was great company and nice to get some input and insight on the direction of the club. I like the ideas and where we are going as sell as the opportunity to be a big part of it. vandyland, Kenny B, Tom D. and 9 others 11 1 Quote WITB 2024 Driver: Qi10 LS 9* Ltd.
