PMookie Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I went to the range the other night and the swing was awesome! Felt great! I get to the course this morning and I can’t remember what the heck my keys were from that session. So… Full swing was trash, but the putter and chipping were on-point. Rougher round than the score shows.

CarlH Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Played a course that I had not previously played today. Shot 38/42 for an 8 over par 80. Lost a golf ball on the back side (and we were pretty sure where it should have been (in play) -- just never found it). We had 3 foursomes playing this course today since the women had our course tied up with a tournament. As a twist to our betting game, we had 3 bets ($2 per bet). One bet was individual skins, one bet was total number of greens hit by the foursome for all 18 holes, and the last bet was a two hole glory hole totaling the best 3 gross scores for 2 designated holes. I had one birdie, but it didn't get a skin and we only had 3 skins total. My team won the greens bet. And it was a 3 way tie for the glory hole bet. So, I came out $2 bucks ahead for the bet.

Peaksy68 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 8 over 79 in 10-20 mph wind. Very even performance through the bag. Putted well apart from a couple of total misreads of pace. Had 3 extremely slick downhill putts finish a total of 1 foot from the hole. Misjudged the wind a couple of times ending in dropped shots, but I’d rather that than poor swings. sirchunksalot, JerryB, ejgaudette and 5 others 8 Quote 849 Pro Evenflow Riptide 6.0 F8 3 & 5 Woods Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 TS2 7 Wood Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 MP18 MMC - Project X LZ 5.5 Zipcore Wedges 50,54,58 - Project X LZ 5.5 MLA Tour Mallet 33" Z Star Pioneer bag buggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The absolute dumbest is the guy that turns his back on the gator while his friend takes the picture. Yep you are correct there---- Some of the courses on the South end the Rangers will warn people when gators are sighted and warn them. There are also Gator warning signs posted too. We were playing at Litchfield one day and the Ranger warned some Tourons in front of us about a Gator on the next hole. One of the Tourons being a jerk asked the Ranger if he warned us? The Ranger knew us and told the Jackwagon " they are locals and have enough sense to avoid them". A few years back we were playing The Witch which was known for Gators ( now closed more housing). There were 2 Gators out on a sand bar and these Tourons were attempting to hit wedges at them. We saw these idiots pulling brand new Pro Vs out of the sleeve. Now my bud said something to them and they arrogantly replied basically STFU and mind his own business. LOL they did not know. His wife at the time was a wheel in the County and State Humane Society and he was shooting it all on his cell phone. While waiting on them to play the hole he made a phone call to his wife and shot her the video. He told us to sit back that what was fixing to happen was worth the price of greens fees. After we made the turn (this was on #7) about the 13th hole the Pro with a County Cop on the cart came by us plus 2 more carts with cops and a DNR officer behind them. We were on 13 green and watched them being handcuffed arrested and escorted off the course. The did spend the rest of the weekend in jail because there are no Magistrates on duty for a bond hearing. My friend said a few weeks later they got high bonds being from out of state and when it went to court they were fined to the full extent of the Law. Yeah the State of SC takes its Wildlife Laws seriously. In fact the owner of that course and 2 other courses in the area was at the proceedings and took out a Tresspass warrant on all 4 of those guys for all his courses. In other words they were banned. Now the owner told this later on and I do not know how true it was. The judge also told them that legally he could not ban them from the state or beach but stated "we did not need or want people like them around our beaches" GaDawg, fixyurdivot, cnosil and 3 others 3 2 1 Quote Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

Popular Post cksurfdude Posted June 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2022 Played 9 yesterday; gonna go another 9 this afternoon. Tee shots were, umm, interesting - speaking of natural resources earlier, I seemed to be getting a little too friendly with the trees on the right side of the fairway 5/9 times! Four of those were blocked straight right, last hole was a bona fide slicearoo... Hey made good contact tho The other four tee shots were... #1 ok playable; #5 absolutely perfect for me could not have hit it better; #7 short Par 3 almost pin high about 15 feet or so right; #8 par 5 got it over the crest of the first hill into a decent position. So not all "bad". Wedges were .. naturally .. opposite of last round where I was running the ball by the hole. This time was trying to hit the ball with more trajectory and spin, and was mostly successful with that, but came up short a lot... ..a lot to keep working on! Including... my mental game... I definitely expect way too much out of myself - need to keep reminding myself that I'm just an average recreational golfer and mistakes DO happen! In fact just picked up a new book, "The Four Foundations Of Golf" (by Jon Sherman of Practical Golf), and the first part .. the first ¼ of the book .. is "Managing Expectations".

Popular Post rkj427 Posted June 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2022 Played my weekly round yesterday due to a family function commitment today. Got paired up with a father and son, son about 20 years old outfitted in full University of Michigan colors. I let them tee off first all day, kept same order off all tees. (Mistake number 1). I played well, only missed 2 fairways off the tee, I left and the other a push right. Temperature was 90 with high humidity, and course was backed up and playing very slow. Only greens missed were all long?????????? I don't know if it was because they would hit green and bounce off, ground was pretty firm or if I didn't factor in wind conditions. (Mistake number 2). Unfortunately, 2 putted every green, more due to green speed being a tad bit slower than normal for this course. (Mistake number 3). As I mentioned a while ago, been demoing a couple driver heads and shafts, played this round with the Titleist TSi2 9 degree head and Ventus TR 5S shaft. Still not convinced that the added height the TR shaft gives over the Ventus Black is correct for me. High flight window, but not much roll out. Best shots with this shaft compared to the Black are similar distance wise, maybe 5 yards difference total, but much different flight to get there. Shot 40 / 42 and the round took just under 6 hours to complete.

Popular Post BIG STU Posted June 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2022 Yesterdays shootout was ok not real bad not real good as a team I was pretty pleased with myself. We only had a 3 man team so we did get an extra ball. Both of my partners I have played with before and are big hitters. Man both of them could not hit it in 3 fairways. I had to do my thing of throttling it back in the middle. Our greens were horrid and the only chance we had to make putts was to ram jam one we had several lipouts. Ended up at -3. I do not really know what won it because they wanted to do the awards outside because they were preparing the clubhouse for a wedding. I told my buds I was not sitting outside and it cooking with my one ticket to win a $5 towel or a cheap sleeve of golf balls. Besides the folks the wedding was for are members and friends of mine and I play quite a bit of golf with them. I went home to shower and rest because I did DJ for them at the party. The wedding was a blast and it is the first time I have done a DJ in like 10 years. i actually had a guy approach me and ask if I wanted to work his club? I told him no thanks as a norm I do not DJ or work sound anymore outside of Church. I made the one exception here because they are dear friends of mine and besides I did it willingly for free. As usual with any event at our club the food was outstanding. A guy who knows me tried to get me to do Karoke singing "Curtis Lowe" which I used to do but not in public since my cousin was killed. Then he tried to get me to do Strokin by Clarence Carter--- I told him as a Born Again Christian I do not sing stuff like that anymore. I can not really sing but I used to get by on those 2. LOL had to get a kid to help me with the computer because some did Lady Ga Ga and I know beans about that and some newer stuff. Now the oldies and beach music I could look it up ok.

chisag Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 5 hours ago, BIG STU said: There were 2 Gators out on a sand bar and these Tourons were attempting to hit wedges at them. We saw these idiots pulling brand new Pro Vs out of the sleeve. Now my bud said something to them and they arrogantly replied basically STFU and mind his own business. ... I wish I knew someone in Law Enforcement I could have called. Played with two 30somethings last year at Starpass in Tucson and one pulled his tee shot almost hitting a huge Saguaro so then they decided to TRY and hit it with several balls until they did. After the first attempt I told them it was against the law and one replied "so are a lot of other fun things" We told them to go ahead of us and after several weak insults they did. We reported them to the ranger and he said without video evidence nothing he could do but he would talk to them. He catches up with us later and said they were "too polite" in denying everything and had no idea why we would lie or stop playing with them, which of course is pretty much an admission without being an admission. The guys in the video remind me of the two we played with: https://www.iheart.com/content/2020-12-07-golfer-takes-aim-at-protected-saguaro-cactus-in-viral-video/ Kenny B, GolfSpy_SHARK, cksurfdude and 6 others 5 4 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

Popular Post dlow206 Posted June 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2022 Played for the first time at a new course and it was a muni in the LA area. Overall, not a great score, ball striking was off for the first few holes. I was hitting my driver much further than normal because of how dry the grass was. Had to be at least 30 yards farther on average just due to the fairways been so dry. On one hole, 365 yards according to the scorecard (don't know how long it was actually playing), and my second shot I only had 67 yards in to the green. The reason my score was bad, two reasons. One was short game (chipping specifically). I've never had to chip off of such dry grass and dry bare dirt spots before. Figured it out by the end of 9 hole rounds though (9 hole course). Second was that misses that I thought were safe were definitely not safe. Pulled a shot about 10 yards left of the green, but I thought it would be fine, it landed where there should have been rough, but there was minimal brown grass and dirt, so the ball rolled like 20 yards and down an embankment. It wasn't even a thin shot, its just there was not really much grass to stop it. sirchunksalot, Kenny B, JerryB and 8 others 11 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 07/15/2022 Driver: Rogue St Max LS - Autoflex Fairway Woods: Rogue Max St 3HL and 7 Wood Irons: JPX 921 Hot Metal 5 to AW - Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff parallel tip Wedges: Glide 4.0 54 and 58 Putter: PLD Custom Kushin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tom the Golf Nut Posted June 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2022 My brother-in-law and family came up for the weekend. So Tim and I took the opportunity to get some golf in on Saturday. We went over to the course at 9:30 and it was empty. Don't know why but I mean empty. We warmed up on the driving range then headed to the first tee. Still no one in site. I didn't keep score for myself but I played ok. Two birds and two others that lipped out. Bunch of pars and a few bogies. Drives and approaches were going well. Since I had a new grip put on my putter I am having an issue with short putts missing right. I got to check the grip alignment. I'm not sure if it's the grip that just doesn't work for me or what. It's a superstroke flatso. The original superstroke that came with the club was not this style. So I settled with what was in stock at my local golf store. Tim struggled with the speed of my greens and wound up with a 94. I got to remember to bring my stimpmeter to see what they are running. Being above the hole is a recipe for a three putt if you don't drain the first one. My greens are fast. With Tim living down in NC just over the border from the Myrtle Beach area and plays decent courses regularly saying that my greens are the fastest he ever played on says something. After 18 we went in and had lunch. Feeling better with a full belly and sitting in the A/C, I half jokingly asked him if he wanted to play another 9 holes. He said he never play 27 before and was game. We left everything loaded on the cart when we went in the club house to eat. So off we went right to the first tee. Still no one around! It was weird because it seemed like it took 15 minutes to play another 9. It didn't, but it seemed to go by quick. I did hit one totally crap drive on hole 8. Duck hook. This is the third round where a duck hook popped up its ugly head. Normally I hit my drives dead straight where I aim. I'll get it figured out. Quickly I hope! Probably because I was getting quick. No birds on the second run at the front 9. Pars and a few bogies. Great day to be out. Got home and put golf and before I knew it we both were in power nap mode.

DeBartola_B Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I shot my personal best 77 yesterday for the 3rd time in my life. I was +1 thru 15 and doubled 2 of the last 3. I am obviously not upset with my round as it is the best I have ever played but this seems to be a recurring theme when I am playing really well to finish poorly. I dont know if it is nerves or pressure of not being somewhere I have ever been before on the scorecard, but I can remember the same feeling when trying to break 80 that I dont feel anymore after I have done it a handful of times. Its also a weird feeling to walk away from the course both happy and frustrated, but I guess that sums up the game of golf pretty well. revkev, Shapotomous, GrumpyGolf and 5 others 8 Quote Driver - Cobra LTDx LS 9* Silver Rouge 110 msi 70 X 3W -Titleist TSR2 15* TENSEI 1K Black 75 5W - Cobra LTDx 18.5* TENSEI 1K Black 75 Irons - 4-PW Cobra LTDx Nippon Tour 120 X-Stiff Wedges - 52*, 56*, 60* Cobra KING Putter - Toulon Palm Springs Ball - Taylormade TP5x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post revkev Posted June 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2022 It has been brutally hot here - perhaps our rainy season has finally kicked in though which will relieve some of that. At any rate we've just been playing nine on one of the weekend days depending upon my preaching schedule. Since I'm involved in the LAB test my practice has only been putting. I shot a nice 37 yesterday, 2 birdies, 3 bogeys. My shot of the day was actually in the midst of one of the bogeys - I misjudged the wind on number 8 and my shot ended up long and left - thought I had 160 into the wind turned out it was down wind - never a good thing with a 9 wood, I can easily hit that bad boy 180 down wind. So I found myself inside a still dry hazard - checked for gators, checked for snakes and saw none so went in with 8 iron, pitched it into the bank leading to the green, climbed the hill perfectly and left myself a 15 footer for par straight up the hill - lipped out the putt but still saved a big stroke with that shot.

Trust me I have been to school on the down wind 9 wood. Mine will flip float forever. Had sorta of the same situation Saturday in the Shootout to a Par 3. Hit a little low cut 4 iron that worked. Let the wind knock it down. Even though I now carry a 7&9 woods I still carry and can somewhat hit a 4 iron if I have to not pretty but somewhat effective Kenny B, fozcycle, revkev and 2 others 5 Quote Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

JerryB Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Owen and I got in the back nine at River Heights today. He went +6 and I went +12 (48). Good contact today. Hit my driver 280 on hole 12 for a new long and clobbered my 8 iron 170 to sky past the pin on a par three. I continue making solid contact and my club distances are going up and up. Hopefully soon I can start reigning them in and getting everything a little more on target. That said I kept coming up short on my short approaches. I wouldn't say its the yips, but the idea of thinning it into the next county is in my head and I wind up wussing out on the shot. On the whole, though...a really good round. I chunked the hell out of one shot but otherwise my misses are legitimate (if that makes sense) and generally things that I can diagnose as they happen. Promising days ahead!
