Sluggo42 5,741 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Started off with a bang Double first hole, and +6 through the first 9... grrr So I told my buddy that I just need to go -3 for the back 9 to make a decent score. So I went eagle, par, birdie, par birdie. Buuuuut, then I dropped two bogies in the final 4 holes and ended up +4 overall. So good score but what was up with the first 9 holes? It was like I had no connection to the club for a while. It might have been golf hangover from yesterday's round. Which was spent trying to return to normal, after wasting a week trying a new swing. Why do we try new swings when playing lights out? 3 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 Combo iron set -8,9,per Icon 5,6,7 PtxPro 4-UiHi on Recoil 780 ES f4 Stiff shafts (best clubs ever) Equalizer 50°, 54°, 60° wedges on Recoil 780 f4 ER3 34” ProV1x .Org 14 cart bag Adidas Tour 360 shoes Link to post Share on other sites

MDGolfHacker 6,970 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I start tournament season next weekend. I was going to go for a tune up lesson but I also have been scoring well lately, don't know if I want to mess with my rhythm I say do the tuneup. It will only benefit you in throughout the season.

Peaksy68 3,668 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Started really well, 1 under after 6, turned 1 over. Scrounged an ugly par on 10, then imploded and went 10 over for the next 7 holes. Finished with a good birdie to salvage some respectability. Back tightened up badly on the back 9, along with my fragile psyche. 2 Quote G400 SFT with Aldila Xtorsion Copper Stiff F8 3 & 5 Woods with Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 MP18 MMC FliHi 4 Iron - Project X LZ 5.5 MP18 MMC - Project X LZ 5.5 S18 Wedges 50,54,58 MLA Tour Mallet 33" Z Star Pioneer bag buggy Link to post Share on other sites
GeekingGolf 1,791 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 My last round this past Wednesday was my fourth round this past month. When I started the wind was howling off the bay here in Pensacola. I probably should have hit the driving range but I played after work so wanted to ensure I could get a full 18 in. Bogeyed the first hole into the wind. Second hole is an uphill par 3 152 yards and the wind was probably 10-15 off the right. I usually draw the ball and the pin was on the left. I naturally blocked it to the right and it plugged in the right side bunker, fried egg! I don't have a lot of practice with these types of shots. I ended up with a 7 on it. I was really down at that point second guessing myself. I scrambled around and ended with a 43. I regrouped during that 9 and because of my putting birdied 4 out of my first 5 holes on the back nine shooting a 33 on the back. Ended with a 76 and 29 putts. It was amazing.

Jmikecpa 12,204 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 My son had a lesson today and I went out and played 9 holes with him. Second hole hit driver and the driver shaft spun in the adapter so now I get to pull it and maybe by next weekend it will be ready to go. Hit it half decent when I was out and shot +2 for 9 without a driver. Playing tomorrow morning and well the next four days after that.

Sparksjr 236 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Tale of two nines yesterday. 40/46. First round in 6 weeks that wasn't a best ball event and was pretty encouraged on the front despite not being able to get off the tee very well (4 drop shots off tee for the day!). Actually real happy until hole 13 where I proceeded to go triple, triple, bogey, double the next 4 holes! Hahaha. What do you do tho? Just gonna give it a go next week. Good news is I found two clubs in my bag that have no business being there and am already working to correct that.

Johnnyrogs 117 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Had I not been a total dummy on the last hole, I would have broken 80 for the first time. That and if I 3 putted a few less times (gir 3 putt bogeys are sickening and I had at least 3 of them) but the 9 I put up on the 18th didn't help either and I rounded out with a 91. Still a career best and I struck it so well with irons/wedges, driver let me down on the back and I couldn't make a putt to save my life.

Jmikecpa 12,204 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 In a word terrible. Shot 81 this morning with 8 three putts.....EIGHT! The old me would have went putter shopping but his time I decided to spend an hour on the putting green after my round to work it out. Turns out that the putter had nothing to do with it and it was all in my setup, imagine that. Hopefully playing again tomorrow weather permitting. 2 Quote In the Bag for 2020 PXG 0811XF Gen 2 10.5* (set at 9*) AD VR 6x PXG 0341X Gen 2 15* AD TP 7x PXG 0317X Gen 2 19* KBS Proto 95x PXG 0311T Gen 3 4-6 KBS $ Taper 130 PXG 0311 ST 7 - PW KBS $ Taper 130 PXG 0311 Sugar Daddy 50/10 KBS $ Taper 130 PXG 0311 Sugar Daddy 54/10 & 58/07 TTDG TI S400 Two Bar Blade Long 47" Link to post Share on other sites
