Recommended Posts

Let's see, it went like...

  1. not so good
  2. kinda ok
  3. not so good
  4. ok-ish
  5. not so good
  6. ok enough after a sliced tee shot
  7. ok after a mulligan/do-over
  8. almost good .. this is a Par 5 I've been inching closer to making a par on .. really good tee shot down the middle; good enough 2nd to get into position for an approach; approach landed front-middle of green with back-middle pin; first long uphill putt was online but left a little too short .. 2nd putt pulled it a hair and missed on the high side .. 6 inch tap in bogey...
  9. complete meltdown disaster blow-up 🤷‍♂️

So yeah your regular up and down golf day! 🤣

Par double double but, just practice didn't get a card. Hit a few good shots trying to copy Cam Smith and others who have the front foot pointed to 10 o'clock with a slightly strong grips? Hitting straighter if I don't drop kick lol, so good practice I think...

I’m a hacker who loves nothing more than to change how I play, be that grips shafts and heads its all fair game lol…

Absolutely cursed round today. Couldn't for the life of me string good shots together. Either a poor tee shot and decent second, or absolutely smash one and yank my approach left. Also had a couple of drives that ended up way worse than they should've -- smoke one down the middle and end up with a downhill, ball below feet lie kind of day. Making excuses, as that's what happens sometimes, but today just felt extra rude.

Like dunking one from 80y, only for it to rocket to the left into the greenside bunker. You can see where the ball entered the cup:

On the bright side, I got to test the new ProVs, and I kinda prefer the regular V1 where I normally play the X. Excited to test them more.

You are too young to remember, but...

@Rickp  Did the PXG survive FedEX?  Does it like Florida?

used it twice, shorter than my Titleist driver by a lot.  Will need to play with loft setting.  I think it’s afraid of Gators😜

Sorry.  Not sure if the setting will do much good.  My wife got the same driver and it was shorter than her old TM RBZ Stage 2... same loft.  She sent it back. Since I had the Callaway Epic Max, I ordered her the Epic Speed driver from CPO.  We spent some time on the range swapping heads; put the Epic Max on her 40g shaft and I put her Epic Speed on my 50g shaft.  We both decided that we'll stick with our originals.  She's doing well with the Speed.  I'm curious if the Rogue ST is any better than my Epic.

On Sunday morning, after 9 holes, it wasn't hard to determine that I didn't have my best stuff.  So rather than concentrate on score, I decided to work on my short game.  I am a follower of Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible, but I have never been comfortable with the half swing or 7:30 position.  Three quarter or 9:00 position shots are my favorite.  My setup for chipping short pitches is upright with club, grip pointing above my belly button, heal of the club slightly up, and choked down on the grip.  I began experimenting with 1/2 swings in my chipping setup and dialed in approximately 40 yards for my LW, approximately 50 yards with SW, and approximately 60 yards with my GW.  These distances fit in perfectly with my 3/4 quarter LW at approximately 60 yards.  Prior to figuring this out, it was always a feel shot under 60 yards.  So my not so good, full swing ball striking day turned out to be a positive.

OK, not me!  My wife completed her tournament season today with her Ladies Club 4-club tournament in the cold north wind.  She selected Driver, 4H, GW, and putter.  She is really good at manipulating her hybrid to cover a lot of distances.

She shot 89 which is one stroke over shooting her course handicap; won by 2 shots.  Clearly she doesn't need the other 10 clubs!!  🤣

Im curious if anyone has hit both.  I’ve tried the ST Max driver a little, and have experimented with the ST Max 7w and 5w, all with the Cypher fifty 5.0 and 5.5.  I really like them but have wondered how they compare to the Epic.

Played possibly my last round last night.
Supposed to be in the mid-teens for the next couple weeks but everybody closed up shop.

It's been a grinder type of year. A couple of injuries set me back almost a month but I played quite a bit.

Broke 80 for the first time in my life straight up par. no handicap taken into account.

Looking forward to working on my game this winter and add some new clubs for next year!!

Man, been a while since I've been back on this forum.

 

After a really long year at my old employer, with zero golf during that time, I made a move this summer and am finally making my way back to the game.  It honestly feels so good to have it back in my life.  Hasn't been a good summer score-wise, but what do you expect.  I live in NYC and didn't play for a year.  At the end of the day, the past two months since i changed roles i've played some amazing courses and am just happy to be along for the ride.  

 

Couple of pics from my round at Liberty National - boss took me a few weeks ago.  It's definitely unapologetically modern, but still beautiful.  Cheers.

I shot one of those 85’s today when nothing really stood out, good or bad. Some pretty good shots, and a few not so good ones mixed in. I’m not posting about my round though,  I’m here to talk about the one my friend Dave had while playing in my 4some.

He’s an 8 cap who had one of those rounds we all dream about. He rode an incredibly hot putter, and a great iron game to shoot a 3 under par 69!
It was super cool to watch, and really exciting when he rolled in a 15 foot birdie putt on 18 to break 70.

It was like playing behind a pitcher throwing a no hitter going into the 9th inning. We all knew where he stood on that last tee box, but nobody said a word. We didn’t even want to look at him. When the birdie putt went in, we all went nuts congratulating him.

Always fun to see first-hand and being part of that special round. So now that you know it can be done. It's your turn!

It's when it goes quiet and I am about to putt I figure everyone as walked away and left me to concentrate on my own putt so they don't have to wait for me any longer lol

Tied my low 9 hole round again yesterday evening with another 49. We have been blessed with some fantastic weather in Wisconsin this fall, so my oldest and I have been out a lot (by our standards). After really struggling Saturday, shots were much more consistent yesterday. Good tee shots put me in position to putt for par on nearly every hole, save for an errant tee shot on a par 3 that led to a triple bogey 🤦🏼‍♂️. Highlight of the round was chipping in birdie on 17 (we played the back 9) after hitting my 8 iron longer than I ever have in my life on the approach. Thinned my 56 on 18 after a great drive set me up in the middle of the fairway and had to try and throw a wedge high with short green to work with. Green slopes back to front so while I landed it where I wanted, aerated and firm greens eliminated almost all stopping power and it ran to the bottom of the green. Double bogey there put me at 49, so had a very realistic shot to beat that score with some better shots throughout the round. We are getting out for one more 9 hole round today before calling it a season on 2022!

I think I just discovered the first benefit of constant tinnitus ringing (that is not in the ears but that true stereophonic middle of the head sound).   When it gets quieter, outside of my head sounds hide behind the 6000hz tone that is always present in the inside of my head, there's no such thing in my experience now as "silence" as the best comparison is an amplifier hum.   With a sound generator app you can actually hear what it sounds like, when I demonstrated it for my family, I knew I had the right pitch because the app went silent for me matching the inside ringing sound and my family plugged their ears telling me to turn it off.

Maybe a poor choice of words EP.  It is easier for me to concentrate with various sounds/noises around, even my own.  When there the surroundings are essentially quiet... any little sound is unexpected and draws my concentration to that.  

I can't even imagine how difficult it must be to have tinnitus.

I think I just discovered the first benefit of constant tinnitus ringing (that is not in the ears but that true stereophonic middle of the head sound).   When it gets quieter, outside of my head sounds hide behind the 6000hz tone that is always present in the inside of my head, there's no such thing in my experience now as "silence" as the best comparison is an amplifier hum.   With a sound generator app you can actually hear what it sounds like, when I demonstrated it for my family, I knew I had the right pitch because the app went silent for me matching the inside ringing sound and my family plugged their ears telling me to turn it off.

Noise I cannot tune out...

I've had tinnitus for 35ish years, in my case it's now reduced that I can tune it out . It reappears rarely so I forget about it, but when it started I woke up in my hotel in Saigon and when I moved my head the world spun at a million miles and I was terrified. Didn't speak the local language couldn't move off the bed, a maid knocked to clean the room and I called for help she came in and I couldn't explain what was happening so I tried to get out of bed and fell out lol. She rang reception and they were so helpful, touch wood that will continue... 

I’m a hacker who loves nothing more than to change how I play, be that grips shafts and heads its all fair game lol…

Had a pretty crappy round today.  Just couldn't seem to get focused on the task at hand.  That my 3 other team mates were stinking it up worse than I was didn't help with the focus part.  Hit some good shots, hit some bad shots (more than usual and some were really bad).  Putting was okay but nothing stellar.    Played with one of the Titleist white box balls today.  Ball played as expected from a Titleist Pro V1.  I played all 18 holes with the same ball and the durability of the ball was good.  Only blemishes were dirt/mud.  But, I didn't hit any cart paths or other objects that might blemish the ball, either.

Well, struggled to a 53 to end my season today. Some penalty strokes proved costly and ball striking was not as consistent as yesterday. On the range everything felt really good but it didn’t translate. Funny because yesterday on the range nothing was going right then I hit the ball well on the course 😂. Already looking forward to spring 2023!
