Sluggo42 7,983 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 80° here today.... Windy too, 2-3 club wind Shot 76 today, the usual little mistakes that keep you from shooting even, like a double on a short par 3 and such Greens are hard and fast, but it's supposed to rain tomorrow, so that should soften it up. 2 Quote MavriK Sub Zero 9* on EvenFlow RipTide 6.0 50g Speedzone 3-wood on Tensi blue S F8 5/6 wood on Aldila NxT GEN MLT R P770 / P790 combo set on Ventus R-6 shafts 5-AW Combo iron set -8,9,per Icon 5,6,7 PtxPro 4-UiHi on Recoil 780 ES f4 Stiff shafts (second best clubs ever) Equalizer 50°, 54°, 60° wedges on Recoil 780 f4 E.A.S. #4 (“Fang” or “Adele”) ProV1x .Org 14 cart bag Adidas Tour 360 shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggo42 7,983 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Oh, and hit my first 300 yard shot with my 3-wood. 3 club wind at my back and got a great bounce too, but I've never done it before. Funny thing was that today was its last day in my bag as my new callaway 816 alpha DBD 3-wood just arrived, and I told the club all day it was it's last chance to show off, and that she did.

Kor.A.Door 5,844 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Went over to the Pinehurst area today and played a course called "The Dormie Club", first time on a new course, many blind shots and a few quirky holes that need some local knowledge. I shot 1 over 36 on the front, and leaked some oil coming in with 42, a really good 78. The wind was up and we played the entire back 9 coming back into it, on the back nine we had a 620 yard par 5 and 2- 470 something par 4's, that sucked. Had a good day and lots of fun 3 Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B 34,348 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Second day my club has been open after 3+ weeks with snow and below freezing. Played Wolf with one guy from my club and 2 guys from another club in town. Even though I only shot 80, I was the big winner!! EDIT: I would have won more, except while being the Lone Wolf on the 580 yard par 5 I salvaged a par, but was beaten by a pitch-in birdie.

revkev 25,711 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Has a nice 77 yesterday with an inexplicably poor shot on 15 that led to a double. Sadly I missed the birdie putt above but still rolled the ball well all day and made more than my share of other ones.

Kor.A.Door 5,844 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Shot 40/40, played good, a bit windy, so it wasn't too bad.

fozcycle 15,612 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The temp was 38* when I left for the club at 6:30, but warmed up nicely to mid 70's so wearing shorts was worth it. I shot a 42/48:90 ugh! The front nine 42 was 2 doubles, 1 bogie and 6 pars.....but the back nine was horrible, hit trees, ball in water, etc.......we had 37 for the Saturday Game so we all had fun. I was disappointed in my U.K. Wildcats performance in the Taxslayer(Gator) Bowl.

Kenny B 34,348 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Bright sunny and 40* yesterday, but a 10-15mph wind made it quite cold. I put our cart cover on, and it was reasonable inside, but we didn't even keep score. It was just an exercise day. My wife and I HAD to play because it was the last day of the year and snow and extreme cold coming today for the next couple of weeks.

BigtazzGolf 1,901 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 First round of the year is in the books. Rainy soggy cold conditions. Rain gear on for the first few holes then was able to come out of it. Carded a 43/42 while using the Senito putter for the first time. 85 today was a pretty good number. Hoping to get back out again in the next few weeks. Winter golf ain't cool, but if your golfing in the winter then can you really complain [emoji1] Tazz 3 Quote Grip n Rip it Chicks dig the LONG ball In my staff bag King F7+ Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 60 - Graphite Tour X-Stiff CBX 13.5 3 Wood Atomic Irons 4-AW (reviewing) CG16 Satin 52* 588 RTX 2.0 56* and 60* Sentio Sierra 101-M Putter Proud tester of the Tommy Armour ATOMIC Irons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Welcome Bags! The northeast is one part of the USA that I have never played golf. It's a long way and I never had the opportunity to travel there, even for work. I live in eastern Washington State which is mostly dry farming country. Without irrigation, it's a desert. We typically get 7 inches of rain a year, and usually very little snow; none last year. But we got 6-8 inches of snow yesterday, and the temperature is dropping to single digits by tomorrow night. However, we have been known to have a Chinook wind come up unexpectedly where it will warm up to 60-70 and we can be golfing the next day! Hey! It's the weather!! 1 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...
revkev 25,711 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 One of the more unique golfing experiences ever today. They had two large family groups on the course both playing very slowly. The pro told us to go past the first group and start on 2 which we did. We caught the 2nd group on 4 and the course was hacked up beyond them. It took forever to get to 7. We then cut back and played 3-7 again which is where we caught the first group so we played 3-5, 8,9. My son had left a club on 5 so we picked it up and played 6-9 in for an 18 hole round. I have no idea what I shot. Lots of pars though. Many of the holes seemed familiar. The picture was from our 2nd time on 3. That's the hole in one hole. I almost jarred it that second time and made my only birdie of the day.

Liberty Ball Markers 1,251 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I'm dumb... today was the last day we will be above freezing until mid January, so we just had to play today. It was mid 40's and poured down rain most of the morning, but we kept on playing. On the good side, my new rain suit worked like a charm. After the slight rush that you get in the cold and rain, which helped me make some bad decisions, I ended up struggling to keep it under 90 and wishing I could play again tomorrow!

Chris O. 222 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 We were in San Diego for New Years and I was able to sneak in a quick nine this morning before we left. I played Riverwalk GC. Pretty fun little course and it's always nice to play something other than a desert course like at home. I hit the ball a lot better than expected since I haven't played in a few weeks and ended up shooting 39. Here's to a better year I suppose.
