Popular Post David Leighton Reid Posted September 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2022 Our weather was beautiful here in SW MO this past weekend and perfect for walking 18 holes. I arrived at the course Saturday morning to discover I had left my putter in the living room where I had been practicing. I shot 79 using a lob wedge or borrowing a putter from someone in my group. Sunday I shot 77 with my putter in the bag. I was 1 over at the turn but got into a bogey run on our Amen Corner, which consists of 3 tough par 4's and a tough par 3.

Popular Post bens197 Posted September 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2022 Likely the final round of the year, I put my daughter on the bus and ripped around 18 in 2 hours. 77 from the back tees, 38/39 and 2 birdies. Here's the thing...Five 3-putts. Yep...5... I wish I could have ended the season on a high note with the success I've had with the LAB MEZZ.1.

Popular Post Kenny B Posted September 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2022 Went out for a late round with my wife and her brother from Seattle. Birdie, Birdie start immediately followed by a Double!! For some reason I hit a pull hook into the pond, and I never do that!! On #5 my BIL had to bail; started feeling ill and it was pretty warm out. We finished off the rest of the front 9 and went home to check on him. I finished off the front 9 with another Double on #8 and a bogey on #9. This Double was a "too good" 6i off the tee to the back fringe with the pin in the front followed by a 2-chip and 2-putt. However, a 40 on the par 37 front has been a good score for me. The good news is that I hit some of the best iron shots with my MacGregors that I've hit all year; very happy with that. sirchunksalot, GolfSpy TCB, Sluggo42 and 8 others 11 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hit 6/7 fairways and I had a good shot at the green on the one I missed. @DiscipleofPenick had mentioned the way I drove the ball Saturday was about the best he had seen, so hopefully this is a good sign. On 9/21/2022 at 9:00 AM, MaxEntropy said: Driver was decent On 9/26/2022 at 9:15 AM, MaxEntropy said: I played pretty steady all day - driver was once again pretty good All good things must come to an end, I guess. Last night wasn't really a bad round with the driver, but not nearly as good as it has been for the last couple weeks and also included the first lost ball off the driver in a looong time. Irons and chipping kept the evening from being potentially really bad, but putting was a disaster. 20 official putts, 21 if you count the putt from the fringe, including another 4-putt on the most severe green on this particular course. It was dumb - I was way too nonchalant with third putt, treating it like a tap-in when it clearly was not. Normally I average 15-16 putts for 9 hole rounds, so taking 4-5 strokes off my +9 makes it a good round for me. I was +9 thru 6 holes when I finally pulled my head out of my a$$ and started putting better. I finished with 3 pars. I don't know if it is something mechanical or mental, but either way my pace has been terrible for a couple weeks. I'm half tempted to bench the StrokeLab and bust out my old Ping to see what happens. Friday afternoon @DiscipleofPenick and I are playing a course that arguably has the best (and fastest) greens in Akron. In my opinion, you can include many of the private courses in the discussion, too (at least that I have played). The greens are fantastic at this joint. It's not a place you want to go when you are struggling, but our tee time is at 1 and I'll be off work around 11, so I'll have plenty of time to practice.

Popular Post Sluggo42 Posted September 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2022 shot well today but this time with the sub zero Mavrik. I think it’s a hair longer than the rogue max D, but not as perfectly centered every fricking drive. Irons hit well today too, but the putter didn’t drop anything longer than expected. Those killer rounds always have a few birds that were unexpected, and most of the ones that are expected. It’s like those pesky 8 footers that fall in a good round, or lip out on the grimace rounds that makes ya mutter a bunch of “if-only’s!” I wrote this yesterday, but forgot to hit send. Todays round fits into the same box, so what the heck. Yesterdays score was lower tho. Todays score was plus 4 after 5, and that included a birdie haha. Then finished the round even with a couple birds and bougs after that. The sub zero Mavrik nailed a few today, but I still want that rogue.

GolfSpy TCB Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 My course was wide open this afternoon and made it around in less than 3 hours... This was is where my approach ended up on the Par 5 15th - looking back down the fairway. I have been practicing my narrow stance, shoulders only, 1/2 and 3/4 swing shots with my wedges from 100 and in to dial in the distances. After a driver and a 3 wood to 70 yards short of the green - I used a 1/2 swing 54 to hit a low spinner. Hard to see but the ball mark is pin high on the right side of the picture, took a small hop forward and spun back toward the pin finishing below the hole. Tap in birdie. This is the picture I accidently took while getting my phone out of my pocket. I added it because some might be able to tell what I was using on the greens today. I made several lengthy putts to save par (8-12 foot range) and on the 18th I rolled in a 20 footer from the fringe the close the round with a birdie. I am taking a day off work tomorrow to go play Memorial Park - home of the Houston Open in November (before they close to prep for the tourney).

Popular Post Golfspy_CG2 Posted September 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2022 Played 7 holes today by myself…in preparation for my league playoff match tomorrow. thankfully I was the only person on the entire course. So nobody else could see me absolutely unable to make clean contact with anything on the ground. Driver was fine, par 3 on tee is fine. But the depth perception from my eyes just isn’t there yet for irons. What’s the penalty for teeing it up in the Fairways it’s a shame as I’m hitting driver really well right now. Putting is interesting. I close one eye while getting the line. But have both open tskingy the stroke. I putted decently today . But Tuesday in a scramble I putted very well. So I just have to find s way to get to the green. Simple right?

Popular Post chisag Posted September 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2022 ... One of the things I miss about teaching, is showing a student a drill or a particular move and then realizing my swing was starting to slip and the drill/move not only helped my student but helped me too. Like a lawyer with a fool for a client defending themselves, it is pretty amazing how I can diagnose a budding problem with a student but not myself, until it becomes a real issue. Yesterday commenting on bens197's most excellent swing I mentioned how I tend to over use my body to protect my back. Cognizant of that today I focused on using my body less and basically casting immediately to start the downswing. I had the best ball striking, full swing day in a long time. I hit driver to several places I haven't seen on this course and it was just a fun in sync feeling. ... Played in front of a high school tournament and the greens were much faster than they have been with some pins in some difficult but fair spots so I shot a 69 and lipped out a birdie putt on 17 to shoot under my age. I was hitting the ball so well I found myself above the hole too many times and with the speed of the greens I had to putt defensively. Just in time for a big scramble at WeKoPa, the #1 public course in AZ Friday. Lunch, drinks, dinner and swag so I am hoping one more round tomorrow has me on an upswing heading into Friday.

Popular Post JerryB Posted September 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2022 Owen and I played the back nine at River Heights today. Pretty decent day for both of us. We both shot 47 (+11). Not much to add other than it was pretty chilly in the shade. Driver was a little funky but nothing too punitive.

This reminds me of the Monte drill for the No Turn/Cast lesson. I will have to go review that again, it is a great drill. Happy to hear you found a groove...

I'm only 'liking' this because I am in the same situation, but weirdly only with my driver swing. My only explanation is I played in a scramble last weekend and may have picked up a couple bad habits when we had a safe shot to improve upon. A range session is needed if I can find the time.

JerryB Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Owen and I played the front nine at River Heights today, joined by our buddy Mark. Weather was similar to yesterday but with no wind so it didn't feel as chilly. Forgot my Shot Scope watch on the charger at home which really threw off my routine. Started out rough. First three holes we only managed one tee shot total in the fairway. Would've been two but my topped drive didn't even get that far. I managed an eight on the par three fourth. Just felt like we were there for the sake of being there. I turned it around somewhat from there. Another topped drive followed by a bomb of a 3 wood left me pin high to the right. Really good chip left me a tap in par. A good driver and hybrid put me in the green side bunker on a par five where I fell apart and bogeyed. Chipped back and forth across the green on a par three for a double. Another really good drive and then a wedge that I got under too much. Next chip left me close enough to hit the putt for par. On nine I walloped my drive and chipped to about ten feet to finish with a three putt bogey. The others never really got going. Owen shot 53, Mark 50 and I actually had low score with a 49. Owen's about ready to pack it in for the year. I'm torn between taking a couple days off or getting back out ASAP before the season ends.

Popular Post Sluggo42 Posted September 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2022 First off, a quick prayer for the unfortunate souls in Ian’s wake…. Just terrible ok back to business, and something that could be controversial… (cue eerie music..) ok shot a -2 69 from the black and blue combo tees. I’ve obviously been on a streak the last few weeks, but I’ve developed/ invented a new grip that I’ve been using that is utterly fantastic. Now, I have no idea that it isn’t one of the standard grips that is very common, but I prefer to think that I invented it, so there… now I’m calling this new grip the “modified baseball interlock”. The top (right) hand is in the normal position. Fairly neutral, in the fingers with thumb lying across the club to the left. Now what’s new is the left hand position. It is a baseball grip, with the thumb curled around the club, and instead of nestling in the palm of the right hand, it is now under the right palm, and the right pinky is interlocked with the left index finger. You kind of need to stretch the right hand fingers apart to get it to the comfortable spot. the first couple of swings feel very strange, but it gets better quickly. the results are that the club squares up and eliminates the leakers, or unplanned fades. They now become laser straight or a slight draw. try it, and if you find that it instantly straightens out your shot, please send $20 to sluggo42… if you break a finger or thumb, then you don’t need to send anything. Try at your own risk! I have no idea if it’s beneficial to anyone besides myself, but I just wanted to share because it’s been an amazing thing for me… cheers ejgaudette, MaxEntropy, Kenny B and 8 others 8 2 1 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 Golfspy_CG2 Posted September 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2022 So had the first round of our league playoffs today. Played against a guy who was the same handicap so baiscally we played staight up golf. I managed a 4&3 win. Thanks mainly to my game around the green and putting. My whole goal was to get off the tee in good shape with driver...Check. Then depending on my distance in, just advance it within 40 or 50 yards of the green and I felt pretty good about my wedge play of late. Check...Check. After a 3 putt on the first hole where I was caught off guard by the speed, I putted really well the rest of the round. I am still having depth perception issues with balls on the ground, but if it's a wedge I can make good contact with a half to 3/4 swing. Anything much longer than a 9 iron, I just bumped it down toward the green and went on. Happy I won, and the way I drove the ball with the new TSR. Next week will be a good match, I'll be getting 3 strokes. The guy I'm playing was int he opposite match today. So I got to get a glimpse of his game today, and I think I'll definitely have a chacne If I can play the same game.
