Popular Post fozcycle 11,709 Posted September 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2020 Last round at Hilton Head was played at Old South, a Low Country course with plenty of forced carries over the marshlands. Shot 50/45:95, but the course was in terrific shape, well cared for and the staff were very friendly. Definitely a try again next year course.Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy 11 Quote Driver: Tour Edge Exotics EXS w/Mitsubishi ck Blue regular shaft BACKUP DRIVER: Cobra F8 w/Mitsubishi ck Blue regular shaft Fairways: Cobra King F8 3W(14.5*) & 5W(18.5*) w/Mitsubishi ck Blue regular shaft Hybrids: Tour Edge CBX 119 4H(22*) with Project X Evenflo regular shaft Irons: Wilson Staff D7 5 - PW w/Recoil 460 regular shafts Wedges: Wilson D7 GW(50*) & SW(54*) w/Recoil 460 regular shafts; Cleveland RTX Zipcore(58*) w/True Temper Spinner Wedge steel shaft Putter: 33" Slotline SSi 693 mid mallet Bag: Cobra Ultralite Cart Bag(Peacoat Blue).

I'm not a drinker on the course, but at least at that pacing you might even be able to manage a beer per hole and still be able to stand up at the end. 1 5 Quote Driver: Honma TW747 460 VIZARD 50 S-flex 7 wood: Honma TW747 Irons: TaylorMade M Gloire 6-AW Fujikura Speeder SR-Flex Wedges: (testing) Cleveland RTX Zipcore Raw 56*/60* Putter: SeeMore Mini Giant Deep Flange 34” “Golf is a good walk enhanced” Link to post Share on other sites
Cory O 305 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Yesterday I found myself once again waiting to see if FedEx arrived with a nice box before my twilight tee time and once again they didn't (I knew they wouldn't but you gotta have hope). with 3 G.I.R.s in a row, but no putts dropped until a surprise birdie on 5 (a hole I don't think I ever birdied before). Focus started drifting a bit as the sun set, so a couple of duck hooks came out, but then I got a nice "skipping stones" visualization going and mashed a few good ones on my last holes before it was completely dark. 8 Quote Driver: Honma TW747 460 VIZARD 50 S-flex 7 wood: Honma TW747 Irons: TaylorMade M Gloire 6-AW Fujikura Speeder SR-Flex Wedges: (testing) Cleveland RTX Zipcore Raw 56*/60* Putter: SeeMore Mini Giant Deep Flange 34” “Golf is a good walk enhanced” Link to post Share on other sites

Going through a little swing change to shorten my back swing a bit and a few little tweaks that are giving me waaay more consistent results. Missed 3 (or 4?) birdie putts within 10 feet, which I can usually convert those. I've also been deploying a nice little stinger that I've been loving and keeping me out of trouble.

Grand Stranded 1,365 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) So apparently I'm destined to not string more than two good rounds together ever again, LOL. Moved up a tee to the greens today for league play, as it was wet, CPO, and well, we're old. The shorter layout didn't help me at all, as I shot 90 and finished out of the money. Six shots higher than I did on the same course from the whites earlier this week. I've got to stop joking about how poorly I'm hitting my irons and buckle down and fix things. It's really become an issue.
