Popular Post azstu324 Posted June 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2022 Played one of my favorite budget tracks. The Duke down in Maricopa. Shot a decent 77. It was a scramble fest though. Driver wasn't behaving.. I'm sure my driver would say "player wasn't behaving".. (unimportant details).. but GIR and up and downs saved my @$$! Irons, wedges, and putter were all on point and that's a great feeling. I just need a day where all clubs decide to show up and maybe I'll finally shoot par or better.

Popular Post MDGolfHacker Posted June 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2022 I had to take a few days and think about my last league round as I am once again frustrated with the state of my game. Three weeks ago I shot a 37 for 9 holes so I'm thinking finally my game is peaking at the right time. Two weeks ago the wheels fell off the proverbial golf cart and I shot a 49. This past week, I'm back to my mediocre golfing shooting a 45. This game is maddening and frustrating! I covered the gamut this round 4 pars, 2 bogeys, 3 doubles. All the work I've put into the short game just didn't shine like it did three weeks ago These couple of weeks were supposed to be a tune up for a 54 hole tournament all played in one day this coming Thursday. Not feeling too confident about playing that tourney with the current state of the game. I don't want to start changing stuff right before the tourney but dang I need to find that magic juice to get my game at a somewhat decent level. <rant off> LOL MDGolfHacker edingc, BIG STU, JerryB and 14 others 12 4 1 Quote TSssWhat's In This Lefty's Bag?

Popular Post cksurfdude Posted June 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2022 Played 9 for the first time in 4 weeks; just played with my slimmed down practice set = 4H, very old 8i, old PW, old 54 and a new-ish putter. Started off ok first two holes just trying to utilize my new swing plan of "easy and effective" but .. of course .. that only lasted the first four holes before I started trying too hard off the tee and gave myself one OB penalty followed up by one water penalty... Playing this way ends up getting the wedges into play a lot - which is good as I've been spending more time practicing with them vs full swing and want to keep improving those skills - but (see: another "but" already ) after my first fluffed pitch that only went ½ the desired distance I ended up over-hitting everything else after that .. running the ball well past the hole, often to the far fringe of the greens... So even though I left myself a bunch of long tricky first putts my line and speed control were mostly good. Still 3 putted twice, tho, on not too long not too difficult second putts... But there is a very welcome bright spot - that very old 8i, with a very light shaft, seemed to be working just fine for me and I hit several pretty nice golf shots with it!! Fingers crossed that that good stuff can stick with me... RichL85, MDGolfHacker, Micah T and 11 others 14 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ...

Popular Post fixyurdivot Posted June 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2022 2022 PNW Spy Meet-up | Round 1 | Galena Ridge | Kellogg, ID Okay, technically the first 3 rounds of what will be 9 rounds in 10 day chronology isn't the official meet-up but, since attending these is a bit of a drive for me, I like adding some days/rounds to amortize the drive. Today was Galena Ridge. Chris @Thin2winhad planned to meet me here but life happened and he couldn't make it. This is a 9 hole course with championship layout. They have 4 tee boxes and I chose blue/white which plays at 6264 yards. As wet as the course was and with so many uphill landing zones (at my distance off the blue tee), I probably should have just played white on both nines, but what the heck. You'll note the two players walking in the linked video... false advertisement at its best! After hole #1 the electric cart must grunt its way up the side of the mountain, and after 6 (yup, count em, 6) switchbacks, you arrive at hole #2 tees, gaining a few hundred feet in elevation. In fact, after hole #2, it is yet another similar long set of uphill switchbacks to the #3 par 3. This course is a major goat-track with lots of slope. The area has had an exceptionally wet spring and many areas on the fairways and approach areas were soggy. Rollout was pretty much non existent. The course has fantastic views and was alive with wildflower blooms. A good many holes had steep uphill second shots that were blind. I hit a handful of second shots that left with a prayer in tow . The fescue grass is tall, wet and thick. I lost 2 balls in it and was pretty darn sure where they were. I'd have had to take an unplayable even if I found them. The course was pretty empty and I played two balls; 43/45 and 41/44. I had one birdie on the #12 par 3 which was also a "close encounter"... rolling to about 16 inches. I had that holes number, putting all 4 balls on the green and converting the others into pars. Here are images from around the course. Sorry, but except for the "close encounter" I cannot recall which hole each photo is. However, these are Boeing 737 fuselages along I-90 headed into Missoula, MT. These come from the Wichita, KS facility and head to Renton, WA... certainly this has to be a good omen... right? The very unassuming pro shop. Had I not seen the course flyover beforehand, I might have turned around and gone to the hotel . Hole #1 Hole #3 #3 Results Another elevated par 3 Close Encounter on #12,,, almost converted both birdies. Tomorrow I'll be at Palouse Ridge in Pullman, WA.

Popular Post DStar Posted June 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Managed to get out for 10 holes last night on a gorgeous summer evening here in the UK. Course was looking fantastic & playing so well, greens are the best they've been so far this year - running so true so putting is going good! Played really well and now starting to feel that I'm getting the feel for the Modus shafts I had the pleasure of testing. Striking my irons very nicely. I've also started thinking more about my approach play and, rather than hitting full wedges, I've been using my wedge matrix to play 1/2 or 3/4 swings and it's working really well. Much more accurate and less chance of a duff chip. 1: Par 2: Bogey 3: Par 4: Par 5: Par 6: Par 7: Bogey 8: Par 9: Bogey 10: Par Edited June 21, 2022 by DStar cnosil, RollingGreens, Kenny B and 13 others 15 1 Quote RADSpeed 9° Matrix Black Tie X-Flex F9 3/4 Wood Aldila NV 2KXV Blue CLK 19° Hybrid Speeder Evo HB S MP54 4-PW Nippon Modus³ Tour 115 X SM8 50° F-Grind SM8 54° F-Grind SM8 58° K-Grind DStar 'Malvern' Putter AVX & -ProV1X Tour-X "Hey mister, your clubs are the wrong way round"..

Popular Post GolfSpy TCB Posted June 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2022 While I usually don't post my rounds on this thread... as they are usually bad enough to live once while playing, let alone re-live them by recounting the mediocre or worse rounds.... but I have to share this one.... Never before have I shot par or better in my 40+ years of golf. May never do it again... but this was a day I will never forget. I had just finished a coaching session with my club pro (we have been working weekly for the past 10 weeks or so), and walked out to the course to play 18... I left my card on his desk after the round with a note of appreciation for helping me achieve something I never thought possible. Subsequent to this I shot rounds of 77, 80, and 79 over the weekend... so still have some work to do on the consistency side of things... but now I know it is possible Tom the Golf Nut, CarlH, JerryB and 16 others 6 13 Quote Titleist TSR3 9* (A2 setting) Driver - Graphite Design Tour AD UB-5 R1 Titleist TSR2+ 3 Wood - Graphite Design Tour AD UB-5 R1 Srixon ZX 5W Callaway Paradym 4-PW Titleist Vokey SM9 50-08, 54-10 & 58-08 Scotty Cameron Super Select Newport 2.5 2023 Titleist ProV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a pretty decent yardage (6546) as well. Congratulations!

Popular Post edingc Posted June 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2022 -1 35 on the back yesterday. 36/40 -> 76 / 75 ESC this morning for 18. Second time in the past week I've come to No. 16 one-under and just fall apart. Pulled my drive left and hit a fairway tree, didn't think anything of it as I heard it hit and wasn't near anything out of bounds. Couldn't find my ball. I let my frustration get to me and just butchered the rest of the hole for an 8. Par, bogey after pulling a wedge from 100 out on No. 18 to finish the round. Driver cost me at minimum four strokes today and I saw flashes of brilliance, including nearly driving the green with a 304-yard poke on No. 13. Someday I will get to under par! I believe this is the first time ever my trending unofficial handicap has dropped below seven. Progress, progress.
