Popular Post azstu324 3,043 Posted June 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2019 I did it!! Finally broke 80 after 2 years. It was a goal in 2018 that didn't quite come to fruition. Made 80 a bunch of times but couldn't quite "break on through to the other side" . Funny thing was that I didn't feel like I was playing all that spectacularly.. but consistency was the key. Also, I found a new go-to when 80 yds out, on in to about 25 yds away. Nice low bump n scoot with a PW. This shot was absolutely money and way more repeatable and controllable than going high with my 60°. Hits the green, takes a couple quick skips and then stops on a dime! the more I practice, the luckier I seem to get.. 12 4 Quote SIM Max 7°/ Fujikura MotoreX F1 6X 917F2 3 Wood / UST ProForce V2 Black F4S++ Epic Flash Hybrid 18* / Mitsubishi Tensei Silver 70g TS-1 3 - P / TT DG 105 (S+) / GP Microsuede TSW 50/6 + 56/12 Wedge O-Works #7 / Superstroke Ultra Slim 1.0 Link to post Share on other sites

PMookie 12,573 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 70 4/14 fir 10/18 gir 26 putts. Couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn for the first 6 holes. 3 over after 4 with no end in sight to my nightmare. Decided on after 6 that I was going to grind out a score no matter what. Proceeded to play last 13 holes 5 under. Wish it was always that easy to flip a switch. Jeez. The only five under I’ve ever been is with balls under water, or five under BOGEY golf, or an 85!!!!!

bens197 6,226 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Played the course I grew up on today with Dad. It was a way to just relax after weeks of studying for a promotional exam. Tomorrow, it’s early with my brother in law at his club. Today was my day to put the Tour Edge CBX119 Hybrid through its paces. Lots of good info to share for my Stage 1. We did not keep score just for the purpose of going to play. I Hit 6/9 greens and had 14 putts and two birdies. Fun day and hopefully that carries over to tomorrow where it’s slightly more competitive.

Popular Post CarlH 4,835 Posted June 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2019 My long game and erratic woes continue. One hole,from the middle of the fairway, I toe a shot that goes into a cedar and, unbelievably, remains lodged in a branch. Even taking an unplayable lie drop, I have no backswing. Anyway, shot an 86 with 2 triples and 3 doubles! Apparently, it's feast or famine for my game. It's like I'm going along well and out of nowhere this other guy shows up for a hole here and there. I guess I shouldn't complain. (For those that don't know, I'm just 8 weeks out of knee replacement surgery and just recently able to play again). 10 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.

blackngold_blood 4,314 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 My round today was just terrible. I couldn't hit an iron to save my life. Drove the ball decent hitting 7/14 fairways but only hit 2 GIR. Ended with a mediocre 44/43. After today's round I anxiously await the lynx prowler vt irons. I think a change is needed as I have been in a funk with the A-Tours lately.

Popular Post PING Apologist #9 4,562 Posted June 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Backed-up my round of 85 with one of 86 today..! 43/43 with 6 pars, 1 bird and 6-freakin' 3-putts! https://shotzoom.com/rounds/22987175981# Putter was on to start while driver was cold. At the turn, made a 7 on the par-5 10th, but went on to have 3 more pars with the driver showing up and putter just being...ok... Had 4 legitimate chances at bird all day and only made one, but the way I see it, things are looking up! The final 9 I did the "Unofficial 2019 MGS Hard Rock Challenge" and unfortunately kept the same ball all the way through...my hands hurt..! More there in that thread to read about.

ncwoz 1,613 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Hit up a really short/cheap course with a buddy yesterday, 5 triples really set me back approach game and putting were the best they've been in a while, but really inflated the score with some poor club selection off the tee.

Big money 1,950 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Played nine and can happily say I shot a 47. Maybe not great for others here. But anything in the 40’s is a good day for me. Just swung in tempo and I let the club head do the work. Watched my aim and ball position and gravity did the rest. Club felt like an anvil in my hands. Hope I can remember and keep that heavy feeling next time out. Really feel like I have a good round in me this summer.

Your score is always irrelevant to others scores. Playing better, improving and having fun while dong so is what is important. As a competitor my whole life, my last serous competition was travel team tennis and it became glaringly apparent that getting to a high level meant playing with most other every day players was difficult to impossible. Therein lies the beauty of golf. I can shoot under par and have a great time with someone breaking 100 if they rarely do so. Positive energy and the joy of playing the game is equal shooting a 99 or a 70. So congrats on continuing to pursue that "good round" and never again worry about your score compared to others. 11 3 Quote Driver: TaylorMade SIM Max ...
