Weather is a bit o an issue , being very hot and humid, however, I think it's more related to my oldest who's recovering at our house. Heart doc said he should be good to go home this coming Friday - so that'll be a big relief for all o us. 

That explains it.  All the best to your son and the family Tony.  A full bag fitting still sounds fun though... right? 🙂

You must still have a pretty fast swing speed Sam.  I tried the SF 80 and they felt like broomsticks to me.  More so than any other of the half dozen iron shafts I tested, the SF's were clear outliers for me.  

 

... I am a little faster with my irons than my driver. I hit my 7 iron around 165 with the Steelfiber 95's. I usually play stiff flex in my irons like Modus 120 stiff in my Z Forged but as you said the Steelfibers are stouter than many other iron shafts so the regular flex works well for me.

After having a lesson yesterday morning, I inevitably played a little too much "golf swing" and not enough golf this morning but still walked away happy. Playing with a new driver swing I hooked one OB left on No. 3 and then for the second time in a week lost a ball in the rough just off the fairway on No. 11, both leading to triples. Left myself some gigantic first putts not accounting for how straight I started hitting my irons and led to a number of three-putts.

- 43/41 = 84 / 83 ESC (+12)
- 7/15 FIR
- 10/18 GIR (2 birdies)
- 30 Putts (3 3-putts, 12 2-putts, 3 1-putts)

Big takeaway is that by the end of the round I really started hitting the ball well throughout the bag after getting a little squirrelly midway through. The new driver swing (much more rounded and flatter after my lesson) was money. I picked up a bunch of distance and accuracy - recording five drives of more than 295 yards and a new personal best 320-yarder on No. 18 with a bit of wind help.

Played well today aside from putting. Had PLENTY of birdie opportunities but couldn't finish including 2 3-putts for par..... However the weather was fair and I had fun.

82 on Friday playing a new course. Had no idea when we got to the course it would be cart path only and it’s a non walkable course with a lot of distance between holes. Struck it fairly well for a 39 in the front. The driver played well but I didn’t get all the distance I should have with many tee shots plugging. 43 on the back. Had things get away from me with putting and the irons. Really didn’t hit a solid shot into the greens all day. Seemed to be short in most of the par 3s as well which I think is typical for playing a new course and not knowing when to club up vs down 

Where did you play?

Little mountain. Not what it used to be from a quality standpoint which is sad. It played pretty easy for the most part.

Ah man, my wife is tired of hearing about it this weekend but i had an AMAZING back 9! ...We dont need to talk about the front 9 much. Played Yeamans Hall in Charleston, SC, par 70 ( 35/35). Shot a rough 47 on the front (let s skip that part) and then turned around and shot a +2 37 on the back!! Best 9 holes i've ever shot. Closed it out in. style with a 12ft birdie putt on the par 5 18th hole too. 

Played that course decades ago when I lived in the area.    Good job on the back 9!

I was supposed to play a round with my podiatrist early this morning, but she called to cancel.

Insurance pays for my pedis at the podiatrist.

The least I could do is offer the kid a round of golf.

Insurance does NOT pay for my wife's pedi at the nail salon.

Good thing.   The way those Korean girls play golf, she'd be in trouble.

Anyway, I hit some balls and then had a sandwich instead.

It's all good.

Not a good day on the course today.....struggled with ball striking, struggled with wedges, and struggled with my putter and shot a whopping 10 strokes over my course handicap.  I don't know if it was because I woke up at 2:30 am and couldn't get back to sleep for a couple of hours or it was just one of those days....but, I'm going to leave it at that.

That happens to me a lot Carl. My Saturday league tees off at 7am to beat the heat. I’m an early riser but set the alarm just in case.For some reason I rarely sleep well when I do that.

Can’t tell you how many times I wake up at 2-3 in the morning and can’t go back to sleep. I put on a pot of coffee and sit around waiting for the range to open. I’m always out of sorts though out on the course, and need to nap as soon as I get home.

So my season from hell just won’t end. I played two more rounds with my new irons, and one was better than the other. I shot an 83 on Thursday and an 81 on Saturday. The difference in scoring well was all due to finally being able to hit greens again.

Sounds great right? Hah, there are no happy endings with me and golf this year. As soon as we finished my back started tightening up on me, and got worse when I got home. I woke up Sunday morning and was barely able to straighten up.

Its not feeling any better today, so tomorrow it’s off to the orthopedic for more of the same old same old…. Meds, rest and therapy. Who knows how long it will take this time? I’ve already been on the shelf for 5 and 7 week stretches going back to last November.

I realize there are plenty of people with a lot worse problems with all that’s going on in the world and this country, but I have to admit, I’m frustrated as hell right now.

Another 84 today, but played better than yesterday.  Driver wasn't the best, but iron shots were crisper (thank you PlaneMate) and putting was almost back to normal.  Now if I could forget the QUAD I had on the par 3 #15...  🙄

Here was a fun shot...  The divot was pointed at the condo on the other side of the pond on the left (not the apartments in the pic), and it was half a ball deep.  The green is across the pond in the direction of those tall trees.  It's a chip out for me.  🤬
