ncwoz 1,467 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Not my greatest round tonight at league, actually felt like I was grinding pretty well outside of one blow-up hole. 47 (+12, net +2), 3/6 FIR, 2/9 GIR, 18 putts Had a quad on a par 4 that I made a few silly mistakes, really shouldn't have been any more than a 6 but I duffed a punch out, then out-ran the fairway into a pond on the next punch out. HOWEVER. Going to keep taking the positives from the rounds. Highlight shots of the day were a spicy little chip from above with the green running away that trickled down to about a foot, then an up and down from the bunker on the par 3 17th. Haven't been able to play or practice lately, and could really use a nice long range session to get some feels back. But why hit the range with the weather so perfect?? 4 Quote Right Handed Driver (9°): Speedzone (HZRDUS Smoke Green 70g X-Stiff shaft) FW (15°): X2 Hot (Aldila Tour Green 75 Tx Stiff shaft) Hybrid (18°): Exotics EXS Pro (Evenflow Black 6.5) (2020 MGS Official Review here) Irons (PW-4) TS-1's (KBS $-Taper 120g Stiff shafts) Wedges (50° & 54°): TSW Forged (Dynamic Gold S300) Wedge (60°): Mack Daddy 2 Putter: ER2B (2019 MGS Official Review here) Ball: MTB-Black OR MAXFLI Tour Link to post Share on other sites

dlow206 5,164 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Shot 100 today, but should have broke 100. There was a hole that took me 4 shots to get out of the bunker. None of the shots were particularly challenging, but I found a way to screw it up. Rather than learn how to hit a proper bunker shot, i'm going to buy a specialty bunker club lol. On a positive note, I got rid of hooks and pulls off the tee that started to appear. Luckily, it was purely a setup issue. The hooks occur when my right hand starts getting too strong. From there, my reaction during transition causes opening of the face and then comes the last second flip to try to square it up but ends up usually going left. I'm now close to being back to a one way miss off the tee, which is block right. When my grip is correct, I need to trust that I can swing hard left. 8 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Current tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 12/27/2020 Driver: TSi 2 - Graphite Design AD-XC 6S Hybrids: SIM Max 3H, 4H - Matrix Ozik 85S Irons: ZX5 5 - PW - Nippon Modus 120 S Wedges: CBX 2 54, CBX Full Face 58 - KBS Hi-Rev S Putter: ER2 Link to post Share on other sites

WaffleHouseTour 389 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Shot an 81 yesterday. On the 9th I was short of the green on a severe uphill slope w a tight lie. Maybe 25-30 yards to the hole. Been in this spot too often to count. Reach for my 56* wedge. BUT... last week I put Cobra ForgedTec Black irons into the bag (love em) and I mistook the PW for my sandy... previously only my sand and lob had the black finish, now they all do (again, still love em). I’m focused on the hole and where I want the ball to land. Not paying attention to what’s in my hand. Needless to say the PW flys a lot farther and rolls a lot more - like off the back of the green. Double. I take solace that it was a mental miscue rather than a skills breakdown. Sorta.

I was thinking about why I was hitting the ball so short yesterday. The contact was good, I wasn't swing significantly slower than normal, etc, but my ball was going like 220 max with roll, some more like 210. Now that I think about it, it was windy. And to add to that, the guy who I was playing with was keeping up with me with his low sniping dive bombing snap hooks, while I was hitting mid-high drives that should have gotten out there much farther. Makes much more sense now. 5 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Current tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 12/27/2020 Driver: TSi 2 - Graphite Design AD-XC 6S Hybrids: SIM Max 3H, 4H - Matrix Ozik 85S Irons: ZX5 5 - PW - Nippon Modus 120 S Wedges: CBX 2 54, CBX Full Face 58 - KBS Hi-Rev S Putter: ER2 Link to post Share on other sites
Lacassem 8,111 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Was beautiful to get to the course to see this: Woke up at 5 to head out and get to the course for 605 tee time...my wife said "why the hell are you up its dark out"....Golf thats why. Had the round of the year today 79. Participated in the CCC4 irons only challenge and I don't know if it was the chiropractor i went to yesterday (1st time felt like a million bucks today, little sore but no stiffness) or if after the first few holes I just got into the zone and really planned my shots out (probably both) but I shot +2 on the back with 4 bogeys and 2 birds. I had several great holes where I just made a shot and drained the putt (no 3 putts today). Good example was hole 9 (par 5) very long. Hit 4 Iron and had to take a drop off the tee. My 3rd shot though (net 4) was a perfect low flyer that stuck and I made the putt. Just usually doesn't go that way. I used my 4 Iron today 21 times. Multiple times I just had to look and see if I could either reach, or if it was going to have to be a 9i/9i situation which most of the par 5's were. That is the round there but in the CCC4 thread I talked about the group I was with. John and John were father and son, and then Graham who was a big guy and absolutely smashed the ball. They all looked at me like I was crazy walking up with only irons and a putter but Graham was a great guy, was awesome to talk golf with him. The son John was Probably my age but little hot headed (club slammer, WTF was that!...loud type of player after every shot) well it felt pretty good to be off the tee and longer than his drive on several holes. I usually wouldn't but the club slamming and loud stuff on everything (none of us are on tour man just hit the ball, youre doing the same thing every time) just irks me on the golf course. 9 Quote Follow my overall Vegan transition here Check out my reviews G710 Irons Lacassem official review FlexTech is filled with all this shiny metal and tracked by : TS2 9.5 - Project X HZRDUS Green SIM 3W - Project X HZRDUS Green 2H VST - Super Idea S Matrix Kujoh S-Flex 2019 P790 4-PW - Project X 6.5 LZ 52, 56, 60 SM7 - Nippon Modus 125 O-Works 1W PROV1X #19 Bushnell Tour V3 Jolt Thank you to all those that have served/are serving and God Bless America Link to post Share on other sites

There is a sweetspot between taking too long in your routine, then actually hitting the shot and just being reckless. I played with a guy yesterday that took f-o-r-e-v-e-r to take 2 practice swings, line up his shot and then stand over the ball for a good 30 seconds only to hit a really bad shot, tdrive his cart 70 yds down the fairway and repeat. He was in his 60's and clearly had been playing a long time so no excuse for that. A few times he hit balls into the water or trees, dropped and hit another bad shot then out of frustration just dropped a ball and hit without taking any time at all. Every one of those "no time at all" shots were better than his taking f-o-r-e-v-e-r routine. ... Of course you don't want to feel rushed which causes tension but figure out a way to stay loose with a practice swing and a waggle, then just hit the shot. Freezing over the ball or going thru a mental checklist takes you away from your goal ... focusing on and trying to hit your target. I certainly understand it can be difficult when you are hitting bad shots, but you will start hitting better shots quicker than you will taking too long and thinking too much as long as your focus is on your target and not your swing. 8 Quote Driver: TaylorMade SIM Max ...

Popular Post fozcycle 11,666 Posted August 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2020 Played with my Grandaughter’s boyfriend from England today. They report back to college next week as both are on soccer scholarships. So I played from the Whites rather than my usual Gold tees, a difference of 759 yards. I shot a 45/42:87 with a Birdie on the Par 3 #15, playing 163 yards. Overall, it was a lot of fun. Sim played a set I put together for him, leaving driver in the bag he gamed the 5 iron off the tee.....just as long as my Driver. Where he had difficulty was putting. He 3 putted most greens, shooting a 49/48:97. We had a lot of fun, and the next round will be at Celebration!
