Normally I'm in the low 40's and consider a bad round to be mid 40's. Last night I had 2 balls in the water, 2 OB and 1 unplayable, closing out the last night of league play at 52. Still shaking my head as to what happened. I could blame the SS protocol in the morning, the excessive heat and humidity, etc. etc. But in the end no one to blame but myself. At least I had a par on the last hole - that'll keep me coming back. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy Just saw this after I posted about my debacle today. What stood out was how one of us "took his beating like a man" (you), while the other wallowed in self pity (me). Now I feel even worse, not only do I stink at golf, I'm a whiner.

ncwoz 1,401 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Whew! Played Wallinwood Springs near Grand Rapids, MI and let me tell you, it's a tale of two nines. Opening 9 is relatively open, challenging but fair. The back, however, is probably the toughest 9 hole stretch I've played. Not to mention, we were dealing with steady 12-15mph winds, with gusts probably in the upper 20s. The entire back nine runs next to a river, swamp, and pond/lake, with water in play on every single hole. For example: 602yrd par 5 11th. Fairway is only about 20 yards wide for the first 320 yards or so, with a swamp left and river right. Or the 16th, a 441yd par 4 with water both sides, and a bottleneck that keeps you from going anywhere further than about 250 off the tee, but leaves you with 150-160 to the green which is protected left and short by water and a large tree. Or the 18th hole, a 550yd par 5 with trees blocking half of the only 30 yard wide fairway. If you don't/can't play a fade this hole, good luck. You basically have to hit a dead straight shot and only have about 5 yards of wiggle room. All that said, here's how I did: 41:49; 90 (+18, net 0) 33 putts, 4/14 FIR, 5/18 GIR I was hitting some bombs off the tee, and was as accurate probably as I've ever been. On top of that, I was putting pretty darn well. I missed two make-able birdie putts, but they were certainly no gimmies. Did have a few 3-putts, but they were suuuper far away, more because of poor approach shots. All in all, I was pretty much money on the front. Got in a few sticky situations, but was able to get out of them relatively unscathed. But started off the back 9 in pretty rough shape. I doubled 4 holes in a row, 3 of the 4 were because of trouble off the tee. One was just a mental lapse around the green where I used 2 more strokes than I needed to because of the mental slip. Pulled things a little more back in order, but struggled on the 18th. I'd like to talk to the course about taking out the trees on the 18th tee shot, they are pretty insane haha. After all the challenging and intimidating shots on the back 9, I was pretty beat. I knew I didn't do nearly as well on the back, but after checking the score I was shocked to see I actually netted par! Not to mention, it's actually the second lowest handicap differential of the year for me! Now I feel validated with the tough course layout haha. And much happier with my performance now that I know that too! 7 Quote Right Handed Driver (9.5°): R9 SupterTri (Fujikura MotoreF1 65 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 (52° & 60°): Mack Daddy 2's Putter: ER2B (2019 MGS Official Review here) Ball: MTB-Black OR MAXFLI Tour Link to post Share on other sites

sirchunksalot 7,589 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I got out for nine holes in my last round of the MGS Hard Rock Challenge. Shot 48 hitting 3 fairways and 2 greens and had 21 putts. It was a nice day to be out, even with the recent rain and the humidity that goes along with it. I played better from tee to green than I have in a while, only hitting a couple of nasty tops. I can't say enough good things about the Cobra fairways I've been playing recently, they just perform...if I don't top them. That's user error and something I need to clean up, but I love, love, love them. The fairways hit stat is misleading because I wasn't missing them by much and when I did, I hit driver. The putter was ice cold, with the exception of a 60 foot lag I hit on the fourth hole to easy knock in range. Three 3 putts and 6 twos are not the best days on the green. I hit the putter 4 times on the 8th, with one being from off the green. It was a great day to test the new Vokey wedges, I'm liking them so far. On the 8th, my first chip landed short so I dropped a Srixon Z Star XV, hit a low spinny shot that bounced once and stopped cold. Ain't nothing like a fresh set of grooves. We're gonna become best friends. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just put two CBX's in my bag again, and although I'm okay with the 52, I'm not a fan of the 58. I like a more thinnish (if that's a word) look with that club. The CBX just doesn't look right to my eye when I try to open up the face around the green, and especially in the bunker. That has to be a "me" thing, because just about everyone else who has them says they're like cheating from the sand. For "me", not so much... I've had a couple of SM7's (52* F and 58*M) sitting in a cart for over a week now. I just tried to pull the trigger on them a few minutes ago, but I can't get the "gift card" option to work. Maybe it's for the best, because after the way I played today, I'm ready to overhaul my entire bag, LOL. It's probably wise to wait until morning, and if I still want them, just go into the shop and let them place the order.

I thought about going with the CBX, as the cavity back traits of them are appealing. I think you'll like the SM7's and the grinds you are looking at are exactly the same as mine. I love the 52, it filed a gap in my bag I didn't know I needed until the woods and wedges challenge of CCC4. The M grind is great for opening the face and performs like I hoped. Good luck making a decision! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zrumble 518 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 When it’s not your day, it just not your day. I had a bad start to a round and couldn’t get off the bogey train on the back (played the 9s in reverse). Shot a 43 that felt like I was stalled the entire time. Then I finally started taking advantage of my drives on the front, another day of 296 yard average with 60%+ fairways hit. I was headed into the 8th hole +1 on the front coming off a pair of birdies Tugged an 8 iron a bit, hit a sprinkler head in the fringe and bounced over the OB fence left. Then on 9 I hit a drive that skipped through the rough and went down a hill into a patch of bushes, needed to take an unplayable but there was nowhere remotely close to drop the ball. So I hacked it the best I could, made it out into the rough. Ball buried itself so deep that I had no choice but to try and hack a wedge, ball came out like a missile and caught in a footprint at the lip of the green side bunker. Needless to say I took a double-double finish for a 43-41, 84. What a game haha 6 Quote Stats: 5'4", Male, R-Handed, Moderate Tempo, Driver SS 106mph Driver: Ping i25, S-flex PWR 65 shaft 3w/5w: Callaway X-Hot, S-flex Fubuki shafts 3i: FOURTEEN FH-1000, DG X100 4i-PW: Mizuno MP-4, DG S300 Wedges: Titleist SM7 56* Wedge: Callaway Jaws w/ 12* of bounce Link to post Share on other sites

We are part of an active fun group of golf friends that play some kind of game almost every Sat and Sun. Today there were 26 of us braving the heat, but no walkers in this oven. I wouldn't want to walk in this heat, it's too far back to the pro shop if you need to quit. Everyone stayed hydrated and drove our carts from one shady spot to the next. One man even brought an ice chest full of new Gatorade flavors (like watermelon) and Gatorade golf towels to share with all of us. Used my umbrella on the greens to stay cool through #8 when a little breeze kicked up. Doesn't take much wind to tumble my umbrella down the fairway. I'd rather have the breeze. I almost didn't care about the heat because I played good for me with 41/48. Got kind of tired on the last 4 holes. 7 Quote King Cobra F8 driver Serene: 3 and 5 wood, 5 hybrid iron r7 Draw, Flex L: 4 - 9 irons, PW RTX-3: 52/10 wedge; 56/11 wedge; and Tour Action 900 60* low bounce E-2 Torque custom fit putter Tour B RXS golf ball V3 Link to post Share on other sites

My wife got heat stroke on a 4th of July party many years ago and still has problems when the temps get above 100. One time during a golf tournament at the Marriott Starr Pass in Tucson in July, she was riding with a friend of ours when we came off a green and the route to the next tee crossed a street. The clubhouse was 1/2 block down the street, and she said that he could take her to the clubhouse now, or call an ambulance on the next tee. They went to the clubhouse. Another trip to Phoenix we played TPC Scottsdale in July. She made it to the clubhouse, but was sick for a couple of hours after. She has to be very careful. Question: Does that flamingo stay on your golf cart permanently? It wouldn't make it through a tunnel on our course. 6 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to post Share on other sites
