edingc 5,180 #9821 Posted June 12, 2019 Played with my in-laws and brother-in-law today in a benefit scramble. Shot 61 (-12), which put us somewhere in the middle of the pack. Minus our four "grenades," where we converted pars into birdies, we truly shot -8. Pretty happy with that score. Neither of my in-laws hit it very far anymore, so a lot of the driving and long irons were left to my brother-in-law and me. Personally, had a handful of really good shots, including a couple decent drives and a few great approaches. Putting started shaky but was better by the end of the round. The course was The Royal in Canadian Lakes, MI. Course was in amazing shape and fun to play. 9 Quote Unofficial WHS Handicap: 9.8 (Last Updated July 25, 2020) 2020 MGS #COBRACONNECT CHALLENGE PARTICIPANT #TEAMSCALVESLIKEPHIL - Check out all of the action over here! #CC4 WITB (Cobra x Vessel SpeedZone Stand Bag) Driver: Cobra SpeedZone Xtreme (9°, set to Draw), 44.5", Aldila Rogue Silver 60 (110 MSI) Stiff, Lamkin Sonar Connect 3W: Cobra SpeedZone (15°), -3/4" SHORT, Aldila Rogue Silver 70 (110 MSI) Stiff, Lamkin Sonar Connect 17° Hybrid: Cobra SpeedZone, -1/2" SHORT, UST Recoil 480 ESX F4, Lamkin Sonar Connect 4-GW: Cobra SpeedZone, 2° Flat, -1/2" SHORT, KBS C-Taper Lite 115 X-Stiff, Lamkin Sonar Connect 54°, 58°: Cobra KING MIM Black, 3° Flat, -1/2" SHORT (54°), -1/4" SHORT (58°), KBS C-Taper Lite 115 X-Stiff, Lamkin Sonar Connect Putter: TaylorMade Spider X, 33", Golf Pride Tour Only Red Star Ball: Snell MTB-X Optic Yellow / Srixon Z-Star XV Tour Yellow Tracked By: Cobra Connect powered by Arccos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenny B 19,174 #9823 Posted June 13, 2019 On 6/10/2019 at 9:33 PM, Kenny B said: This last weekend I had rather uneventful rounds of 84 and 79. I am still not putting very well. The 79 came on Sunday from better ball striking, hitting more greens, but I'm still averaging about 33 putts per round; 2-3 more than normal. The nice round came today with my walking buddies. One guy hasn't been playing for there for more than a month; a 76-year old Marine Col. pilot (I was informed that there are no "former" Marines.) he's a better player than I am; probably a 6 hcp, but we usually are about the same off the tee. We only played 9 holes, and he shot +1; I shot +2, bogeying the first two holes which are the easiest on the front nine. I was happy with that. I outdrove him on most holes; I had a couple of 230+ yarders; no wind. HUGE for me, but summer is about here, so fairways are firming up!! On the Par 4 #3 hole (#1hcp) shown here looking back to the fairway from the green: water all down the left side and in front of the green and high grassy mounds all down the right side of the fairway; I hit a slight draw 230y to the center of the fairway, then a wedge to the center of the green 3 feet from the hole. Nice birdie on a hole that I make bogey 50% of the time and occasionally a double bogey or worse. On the 146y par 3 #4 hole I hit a 9i to 8 feet pin high; missed! The 565y par 5 #5 was driver, 3W, wedge to 2 feet; didn't miss that one! I also managed to par the 546y par 5 dogleg left #9 hole with a pond in front. Here's a view from the fairway looking toward the green from over 300y out... do NOT want to go left; bad grassy hill!! I don't like quoting my own posts, but I need to this time. Remember my great play on #3 on Monday walking with the guys: nice drive, wedge to 3 feet... birdie on the #1 hcp hole? As I said above, it's a hole that I bogey 50% of the time with the occasional double bogey or worse. Well, today my wife and I played with our tax accountant. On that hole I got an "other"... a 9; two balls in the water and a 3-putt!! With my no warmup before Hole #1 double bogey, I was +7 after 3 holes. My worst start in years!! I did settle down to shoot 46/37 = 83. Our accountant bought the beer. 7 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
palvord 3,398 #9824 Posted June 13, 2019 After work 9 yesterday. Shot a 47. 3 putted twice. 3 double bogies. So many missed opportunities. Loving the Cobras on the course. Throughout the bag, I don't ever feel like it is difficult to make clean contact with the ball, even in the thickest rough. When I stop leaving my club face open, I love the ball flight and results. Was the perfect after work 9.. The weather was beautiful and the course, Rackham Golf Course, is a Donald Ross design so it challenges you to think throughout, which I really enjoyed. 8 Quote In my Ultralight Stand Bag: Driver: Rogue 10.5° - LH - Aldila Synergy Blue 50 Stiff Woods: King F9 - LH - 3/4 Wood - Atmos Blue TS 7 Stiff King F9 - LH - 5/6 Wood - Atmos Blue TS 7 Stiff Irons: King F9 - LH - 5-GW - KBS C-Taper Lite Stiff Wedges: King Black - LH - 52° 56° 60° - KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 Stiff Putter: - Impact No. 3 Ball: Pro V1x Tracked By: Currently Testing: LX5 Watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cnosil 11,659 #9828 Posted June 14, 2019 League night and it was a disaster. Was running late due to a meeting and traffic; ended up getting to the course when we were supposed to tee off. Being one of those people that like to be early, hit a few chips, iron shots, and putts prior to the round it wasn't a good start to the round. Parred my first hole but then went double, bogey, par, birdie, double, triple, bogey, double for a smooth 10 over. 2 FW, 1 green, 16 putts. I feel like I only hit 1 good shot on the day. Just one of those rounds you want to forget and try to move on. 3 4 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* with UST Proforce V2 Fairway: TS3 15* set w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: 765 6-AW with KBS Tour shafts Wedge: 588 54-14, 58-12 Putter: Ten S Backups: 6330, ER2.2, Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlH 3,681 #9829 Posted June 14, 2019 Men's Club night: Format was 3 clubs plus putter. I originally thought I'd play 3W, 7 iron, and sand wedge. At the last minute, I made a poor decision and replaced the SW with the PW. Bad decision!! On 3 holes, I found myself in a position that made the PW a bad choice and all 3 holes cost me with a double bogey (twice need to flop a PW). 3 doubles, 2 bogeys, and 4 pars later, I come in with a 8 over for the nine. Tied for 5th, which paid nothing, but did earn me some points towards our Ryder Cup team pick. 7 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9 degree Alta CB55 Stiff shaft Hybrids: M6 --- 3 (19 degrees), 4 (22 degrees), and 5 (25 degrees) Atmos shaft R Irons: Apex CF19 6-9, PW, AW KBS Tour Graphite 70g shafts R Wedges: CBX-2 52*, 56*, 60* wedges.

yungkory 8,219 #9830 Posted June 14, 2019 41 (par 37) 4/7 fir 5/9 gir 17 putts I actually played pretty well today for the first time in what feels like forever. Funny enough I lost a stroke laying up when I cooked it too far left playing off of a lie where the ball was almost waist level. Lost another trying to flight one low that I just launched and hit a tree that couldn't have been more than a ball's width. That's golf! 10 Quote Driver: SIM Max 10.5 Fujikura Ventus Blue 6S 3w/5w: XR16 Fujikura Speeder Evo 565 S 4h: CLK 22* Hybrid Tensei CK Pro Blue 80HY S Irons 5-PW: JPX 919 Forged Nippon Modus 3 Tour 105 S Wedges: RTX 4 50.10 | 54.10 | 60.09 Nippon Modus 115 Wedge Putter: ER5 BGT Stability Tour Ball: Tour B XS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THEZIPR23 4,466 #9836 Posted June 15, 2019 70 7/14 fir 11/18 gir 27 putts What a roller coaster round, 2 eagles 3 birdies, 8 pars and 5 bogeys. First time I have ever made 2 eagles in a round and they came on back to back holes. Par 4 5th was pin high about 10 yards off green. Chipped it in. Par 5 6th, driver, 5 iron to about 25 feet but just off green. Chipped that one in too. Had another eagle putt on 10 from 36 feet. Couldn’t get that one to drop. Obviously I should’ve missed the green. 5 Quote Epic Flash Sub Zero 9.5* (Ventus Black 6X) 45" M5 15* (Ventus Black 7x) 43" Epic Flash Sub Zero 18* (Tensei AV Blue 70 X) Z585 4-5 (KBS C Taper S) Z785 6-AW (KBS C Taper S) Vokey SM8 55 08 M (KBS 610) Vokey SM8 59 04 L (KBS 610) Studio Stock 28 Slotback 33.5" Tour BX Twitter @THEZIPR23 "One thing Golf has taught me, is that my muscles have no memory."

MattF 7,935 #9840 Posted June 15, 2019 I cracked it!! Shot an 88 today at Da Club...with 42 putts. Hit some very good, some good and some bad but I was just humming along playing my game. The driver is coming along. I changed the setting to upright and it seems, at this stage, to be what I needed. Longest drive was 257 and shortest (off the heel) was 193. All in all, I'm happy. 12 1 Quote In the bag: M5 Project X Even Flow Blue 6.0 Fairway: Sub 70 939X 15° Project X Even Flow Blue 6.0 CBX 119 19° hybrid Project X Even Flow Blue 6.0 Tour B JGR 4-GW UST Mamiya Recoil 680 F4 Smartsole S Tracy Bag: Alpha Convoy 514 Balls: MTB-X Cart: CaddyLite ONE Ver. 8 God Bless America, God save the Queen, God defend New Zealand and thank Christ for Australia!
