Popular Post fozcycle Posted September 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2022 For my third and final round this year at Hilton Head, I chose to replay the course that ate my lunch.....CC of Hilton Head. This time I challenged myself to play all White Tees (6,162 yds). That is a tall drink of water from the usual 5400 yds I play at home, I added a 3W to my bag at the last minute before we left (Bombtech 3W w/Regular shaft). Surprisingly, I hit it pretty darn good, mostly straight about 185-200 yards. Today, I shot a 44/44:88......5 strokes better than Tuesday when I played the White/Green combo for 5833 yards. FIR 10/14 for 71%; 3 GIR for 17% and 34 Putts. Today my flatstick was off a tad as I watch putt after putt grab the edge and roll on by. I only had 12% Up & Downs. The course plays very tough 71.8/138 from the White Tees but I knew a bit more about the layout so I could choode to layup and avoid the water hazards.

Popular Post Sluggo42 Posted September 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2022 When you play almost every day, it all kind of blends together after awhile. Todays folly was pulling a double on the 2 par 3’s on the back but then still shooting a 77. It seems that there is always a hole or two that I chunk down with the double. Then after the round when m thinking that I shot well, I am reminded of those holes along with the 5-6 birdie putts that just missed… I think a master class of short game and green reading would be helpful cksurfdude, cnosil, sirchunksalot and 8 others 11 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...

Didn't have the best ball striking day... but still managed to shoot +2 (38). My most memorable hole was a pull hook off the tee into the trees that ended up next to the perimeter fencing... had to punch out by setting my club at about 1/2 a back swing - outside my normal path due to the fence. So no backswing, just started from a set position, and threaded the needle between two trees into the middle of the fairway with 120 left. Hit a 3/4 flighted 9 iron to six feet and rolled in the putt for par. Hope to get back out this evening for another 9 :). 2nd half of my 18 hole round (back 9 last night, front 9 tonight). 2 putt par, 2 putt par, 2 putt par, 2 putt par, sandy par, 3 putt bogey, sand bogey, 2 putt par, up and down par... +2 (38) - combined - 76.

Popular Post ncwoz Posted September 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2022 Rough day today. Played a flat course with plenty of water hazards, which made the 20+mph winds quite the challenge. Wind made things tough from tee to green, and my short game and putting wasn't as sharp as I've been lately either. Shot a 90, first time I've had this tough of a round in a while but sometimes a little humble pie brings some low scores afterwards!

At 1st Tee we knew we were in trouble, 2 of the group never hit a ball more than 20 feet!! They were still on 2nd Tee chatting when we drove up to the Tee soooo we kept on going to 3rd Tee, problem averted. I shot 3 over for 8 holes!!! Short Order Pancakes!!!!!!

Popular Post CarlH Posted September 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2022 Shot an 80 today, but played the next tees forward, so still shot +3 over handicap. Rough is punishing right now. The ball just sinks down in the Bermuda and is difficult to get out and even more difficult to control any distances.

Popular Post Sluggo42 Posted September 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2022 Ok, todays post will be a bit longer than normal, but stick with it, cuz it’s good. first off a disclaimer, because I played from the white tees, as my buddy wanted to play there and since we don’t get to play too often it was fine. second off, I borrowed a new rogue driver from the clubhouse to try out. It was a Rogue Max D, 9°- on some kind of a Tensi S 65 gram shaft first hole was a good drive and 100 yds out. I hit my A wedge to about a foot, and a kick in bird. Then birdied 4,5,6 and 8. So I was 5 under thru 8. Then parred the rest up to 18, a par 5. Crushed a drive to 160 out, but had to bend an iron around the line of eucalyptus trees to go for a birdie. So I absolutely smoke a 6 and as it went around the tree, it hit some of the leaves and I thought it knocked it down into the fairway bunker. The the other two guys that we paired up with started yelling that it made it! so I drove up around the corner and saw the ball about 4 feet from the pin, and my knees started shaking… my previous best score ever was a 66 that I hit last year, so I knew at least I could get a bird and secure a 65, but I had to gather myself for this sneaky little left to right, that actually turns more than you would think. sooooo, I gathered myself up and drew a bead on the left edge. Just took a firm smoothie stroke and watched it slip off to the right, but held on long enough to to fall in for the eagle, a -7 , final score of 64 for a personal best, and two strokes under my age.

I’ve just watched a bunch of driver videos, and have concluded that a driver fitting is probably the best idea. I can’t say the Rogue was super long, especially vs my Mavrik, but what I did notice was that it was endlessly right in the middle, and I did have a few long ones. But this Titleist TSR has definitely got my attention, probably the TSr2, as it’s supposed to be the most forgiving of the lot, in addition to being long. the Rogue Max D has shown me that there are some significant improvements available, and if I can keep getting balls in the middle, as well as a few more yards, it might be time to find out what’s really my ideal boom stick Vegan_Golfer_PNW, cksurfdude, Kenny B and 4 others 7 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...
Popular Post sirchunksalot Posted September 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2022 Played nine after work today and had a beautiful 75 degree day to be outside. I walked and put the Q Follow through its paces and it's amazing how much easier it is when you're not pushing a cart around. As for the golf, I started out and was +13 after six then the wheels fell off. +18 on the last 3 and completely forgot how to hit a golf ball. Really frustrated right now and my confidence is gone. It'll be ok, just got to dust myself off and remind myself that it'll get better and be so sweet when it does.

Popular Post GolfSpy_KFT Posted September 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2022 Not on level with most on the forum, but played my best 9 hole round to date yesterday with a 49. Started out +1 through three and then had an OB penalty and a 3 putt on the ensuing par 5 that threw me off a bit, carded a snowman there but recovered with a bogey on the ensuing hole and lipped out of a birdie on the next. OB penalty off the tee and then again on my approach plus a 3 putt put carded a 9 on the second par 5. Double bogeyed 8 and 9. If I can get away from the big mistakes, which get me a couple times every time I’m out, I’m shooting a much better score. Still was pretty happy with the end result for myself though Kenny B, RichL85, cnosil and 11 others 14 Quote Driver: TSi3 9* Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 6X Fairways: Aerojet Max 3W & 7W MCA Kai'Li White 60 Stiff Hybrid: King TEC 3H MCA MMT 85g Stiff Irons: Aerojet 6-GW KBS $-taper Lite Stiff Wedges: Snakebite Black 52/56/60 Hi-Rev 2.0 Black Stiff Putter: Super Select Newport 2.0 Ball: Tour X & ProV1x #LeftyGang Cobra 50th Anniversary Member Special Challenge (link here) Unofficial FootJoy Hyperflex BOA 2023 Review Unofficial Flightscope Mevo Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a Rogue Max D, 9°- on some kind of a Tensi S 65 gram shaft first hole was a good drive and 100 yds out. I hit my A wedge to about a foot, and a kick in bird. Then birdied 4,5,6 and 8. So I was 5 under thru 8. Then parred the rest up to 18, a par 5. Crushed a drive to 160 out, but had to bend an iron around the line of eucalyptus trees to go for a birdie. So I absolutely smoke a 6 and as it went around the tree, it hit some of the leaves and I thought it knocked it down into the fairway bunker. The the other two guys that we paired up with started yelling that it made it! so I drove up around the corner and saw the ball about 4 feet from the pin, and my knees started shaking… my previous best score ever was a 66 that I hit last year, so I knew at least I could get a bird and secure a 65, but I had to gather myself for this sneaky little left to right, that actually turns more than you would think. sooooo, I gathered myself up and drew a bead on the left edge. Just took a firm smoothie stroke and watched it slip off to the right, but held on long enough to to fall in for the eagle, a -7 , final score of 64 for a personal best, and two strokes under my age. I’ve been floating around ever since… Well done!!

Stop trying so hard; you attract to yourself that which you give your focus, energy and attention to. Don't get frustrated, just enjoy the outdoors and have fun. You hit the ball well before; you will do it again. You know, my wife says the same thing and she's pretty smart...I guess I should listen. Yesterday I was having a fun and relaxing time until the 7th. I popped up a drive into high grass, hit a nice recovery 50 yards short of the green, then pull topped one 30 degrees left, hit a sign and it proceeded to hit a tree. Then I got to the 8th and they had all the tee markers together way back with the line of high grass blocking out all but the smallest view of the green. It just didn't set right to my eyes and I pulled a low screamer into the grass. Hit a bad recovery and it went downhill from there. My wife also tells me I shouldn't keep score for a while and that I'll pressing too hard to do well. That it gets into my head to perform well. Funny thing is, the 9th fairway is next to the range and littered with balls. While looking for my drive I took some time to whack some back to the range and hit toward the 200 yard marker. Hit some pretty good shots then shanked my ball into a pond. It'll get there, I'm just messed up right now from paralysis by analysis.

I swapped the screw with an extra i got from @dlow206 and took some swings. no more sound. will have to see if it comes back. Nice, hopefully that takes care of it.

I've had similar issues and have joked in the past about being a better match play player than a stroke play player. So sometimes I'll do just that; play match play either against Owen or just by myself. By myself I'll set the bar at bogey and just play hole by hole. Other times I'll keep moving the target. Did I hit bogey? Keep it there for the next hole. Par? Par is my new target. Double bogey? That becomes my line for the next hole. Basically like playing a Mariokart time trial against my ghost every hole.

MGoBlue100 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Got a chance to play CC of Indianapolis on Wednesday. Very nice old (1891) parkland track. Lots of elevation. Hadn’t played much, didn’t putt well but managed 45/45-90. Wasn’t disappointed. JerryB, GolfSpy_SHARK, MattF and 6 others 9 Quote "Where'd it go?" "Right in the Lumberyard..."

Ugly things can happen and BAD decisions when chasing a number…..I know.
