I met up with a single on the first tee. Nice guy, grew up right beside the course but only started playing last year in the covid boom. a college baseball player, and once he works out a consistent golf swing he is going to mash the golf ball. My game was fine, my short game was really good. 11 putts through 9 holes and a -1 total score. I got a par on 10, then birdied 11 to get to -2 for the round. This was easily the lowest score I have had on a course this late in a round. But... my 3 hour hall pass expired and I had to head off the course and to Home Depot to pickup some drywall screws and thin set... Yep, I left my best round going ever to get back to remodeling a bathroom... FYI, Home Depot was open the night before... just sayin' 5 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...

MattWillGolf Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Bah!! Why do I play this game. I have a tee time tomorrow morning. Driver was all over the map it seemed. Only 2 fairways hit. Hitting my irons thin again. Only needed my hybrid and 3 wood once during the 9 holes and hit them both as well I could possibly hit them so that pleased me. I had a sand save lip out on the 9th hole and settled for a bogey. Another 9 holes in the low 50s. 9 Quote Ping CB-P226 Hoofer Cart Bag Ping G400 Max 10.5° w/Ping Alta CB PXG 0341 3 wood 15° w/Project X Even Flow Blue PXG 0211 19° Hybrid w/Project X Even Flow Riptide Ping G410 Crossover 23° w/Mitsubishi Tensei Blue PXG 0211 5 - GW w/True Temper Elevate 95 Callaway MD3 54°/12° S Grind w/True Temper Dynamic Gold Callaway MD3 58°/09° W Grind w/True Temper Dynamic Gold Evnroll ER11v 34” Evnroll ER11v Official Review Shot Scope Pro LX+ Pro LX+ Official Review Kirkland Signature v2.0 Clicgear 3.5+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirchunksalot Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 22 hours ago, Kenny B said: Nice course!! Sounds like parts of your game are coming together. Your pro should be able to identify your exact cause of the shanks; there are more than one. It's such a common problem as you have heard from many of us, that pros have seen it more than just a couple of of times. If it makes you feel any better... a shank is only 0.5 inches from being a solid shot. It's been plaguing me for a few weeks, except for the first round I played with the Mizuno's ( which I still love). I think playing with guys from work I'm trying too hard to kill the ball and impress them. I guess sometimes being a contributor to a golf forum has it's social pressures . I'm hopeful that an instructor will be able to get me back to making decent contact. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DiscipleofPenick Posted June 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2022 Played yesterday at my old home course and had my best round of the year - 36/39. Birdied both par 5s on the front, and had a 3-putt par on the par 5 18th. Also finally got a par on the 12th, one of the toughest par 4s in NE Ohio. I actually took some photos of what happened on that hole. So it's a 420 yard par 4 but the fairway pinches down to about 20 yards wide in the landing zone. And even if you are in the left third of the fairway you may still be blocked. Inside 150 the hole goes downhill to a creek, then back up a little bit to a two-tiered green. I hit 3W-9i and two putted. As you can see, I missed the fairway by a foot on the left and was totally blocked from the flag, could only see the front corner. The course was in some of the nicest shape I've ever seen it, but the greens were still sketchy for putting. They held better than I've ever seen them for this time of year. 11 1 Quote Take Dead Aim Driver: PXG 0211 10.5* Fairway: Titleist 917 F3 15* Hybrid: Adams Idea Pro Boxer Gold 18* Irons: Titleist 714CB 4-PW Wedges: Vokey SM5 & SM6 50/54/58 Putter: SeeMore X2 Costa del Mar Ball: Srixon Z-Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryB Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Owen and I played the back nine at River Heights yesterday. My new driver came in, a Rogue ST Max D, so I was excited to see what it could do. The first hole was our best look collectively, a 210 yard par three. My tee shot stopped on the fringe and his was just off the green to the right. Both chipped to within two feet and tapped in for par. That was pretty much my highlight but just the beginning for Owen. He was playing really well and all aspects were coming together. He had a couple birdies and recovered nicely from the few errant shots he had on his way to a 39 (+3). He even hit a missile when he used my driver on a hole. First opportunity to hit my new driver... mis-hit. But even the mis-hit carried much further than expected. Second chance, on 13, was better, actually putting me in trouble for hitting too far. The rest of the round was good; I need to mess with the settings a bit to dial it in. Rest of my game was a hot mess. Chunked a few irons and had several wedges off the toe. Shot a 47 (+11). Happy that I'm upset with the round, if that makes sense. 7 Quote Callaway Rogue ST Max D driver PXG 0211 3 wood and Tour Edge Bazooka 7 wood Titleist 21° hybrid Cobra AMP 5-PW Titleist Vokey SM7 50° 54° and SM8 60° wedges Ray Cook Silver Ray IV putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MattWillGolf Posted June 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2022 Sammy Hagar may not be able to drive 55 but I can score that for 9. Driver was spraying today, with the return of an ugly slice. I’m getting proficient at chipping out of trouble. Bah. I found water on 3 different holes. Two in the same pond, one on 3 and one 6. My putting was good, several tap ins and lip outs. Two 1 putts and one 3 putt.

Popular Post tommc23 Posted June 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2022 Played a very tough course today, greens were rock hard and fairways were as well. Chips hit the front of the greens and they were gone right over the back. Hit 10 yards short bounce and roll off the green. I tried to hit high spin shots and they didn’t even stay. I also had some high spin shots that the club bounced and caused me to mishit the ball. I’m not happy with the round by any means but for how hard it was my friend who is normally a par golfer scored mid 80s and I shot 95. I’m consistently scoring similar rounds on different courses even when having bad days so I’m happy with that. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
