Popular Post chisag Posted April 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2021 ... In honor of Hideki Matsuyama winning the Masters, I played my Srixon Z Forged MB's today and shot a 72 with 3 birdies and 3 bogies. As many of you know I am a big fan of playing the most forgiving irons you can effectively play and for me, Z Forged ain't them. I would guess there were at least 3 or 4 shots that most likely made a difference in my score, but specifically 2 I can relate. There is a 477 yd par 5 dogleg left that is uphill off the tee and has a huge bunker guarding the corner that I cannot carry from my normal tees. But they are giving that tee box a rest and have the Silvers with the Golds reducing the hole to 444 so I can carry the bunker leaving me a 7 or 8 iron after some downhill roll over the bunker. I had a good yardage to a front pin over a deep bunker and hit my Z Forged just a little thin but right on line and caught the lip. I have no doubt at all that my King Tour 7 iron would carry that bunker. (I am gonna be so bummed when they put the Silvers back where they belong) ... I also let the wind bring my soft fade left to right to a back pin location that has a ledge in front of it and caught my Z Forged 6 iron just a little on the toe. I lost both direction and distance landing short of the ridge and rolling up just enough to send it back down the slope with some extra gusto. Again, no doubt whatsoever that the KIng Tours would have landed over the ridge. ... I did not miss the center by much, but enough to effect the shot with no perimeter weight help and both those shots cost me a minimum of one stroke. And for me, that is all the difference between shooting under par or even par. I love pulling out MB's a few times a year because they are very accurate when perfectly struck and just a lot of fun to play but mostly to remind me why I use Players Irons. I consider myself a very good ball striker but not an elite ball striker which is required to get the most out of MB's. These statements are made about my game specifically and not a recommendation against or for others that may enjoy playing MB's all the time. cksurfdude, palvord, Lacassem and 10 others 13 Quote Driver: Aerojet Max 10.5* ...

benb1989 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Played on Sunday and was awful, which is annoying as the Sunday before I played the best round I have played in a very long time. My all round game was poor and there wasnt just one thing that was going wrong. I hooked and sliced the driver, fatted and thinned irons, around the green I was ok, but I missed 3 or 4 stupid, easy putts. BUT I had some excellent holes, just too few of them. cksurfdude, Lacassem, sirchunksalot and 4 others 7 Quote , Driver, Mavrik Max 10.5*, Aldila rouge white 60, XS flex , 3 Wood, MX-700, S flex , 4 Hybrid, Mavrik Max, S flex , 5-PW 699 Pro, KBS Tour S flex , Wedges, Vokey, 52*, 56*, 60* , Putter, Stroke Lab Black #7 Triad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I am at MGS they have some irons in the warmup bag and I pull them out occasionally. I can hit them well but not sure I would do well playing 18. You speak the truth on how just being off a little bit really impacts the ballAnd nice round; hoping to get my game to that level one day. cksurfdude, sirchunksalot, Rickp and 3 others 6 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: mFGP2 Backups: Milled Collection RSX 2, Directed Force 2.1, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sirchunksalot Posted April 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2021 During my round Sunday, I got a chance to try out the GoPro I bought. I picked up a suction mount to attach it to the cart for its maiden voyage. I was planning on doing a rundown of every hole in the front, but the battery died in the sixth. I'm hoping to film some really bad course vlogs for my entertainment because it's just fun to film and edit. Here's a snippet from Sunday, the sound isn't the greatest because it was windy.

Popular Post chisag Posted April 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2021 ... It has been great to get back to feeling confident with my swing on the golf course. Had a very nice start to my round today with winds about calm to about 5 mph and I had 4 birdies with 1 bogie. Then the wind picked up quickly on #9 to about 20+mph and things got difficult as it was a swirling hard to judge wind. It's one thing to start with those kinds of winds an another to be playing well and have it suddenly appear after 8 holes. At least that is my excuse.

NRJyzr Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 An update from my Men's Club round last weekend.... One side effect of joining this group is that I now have an official USGA hdcp. I've never had one for various reasons, but knowing how its calculated, I've kept it in a spreadsheet. I'm an accountant, and accounts know spreadsheets. So.... the scores from the weekend have been entered, and my index has been updated. I'm now a 6.1. How lovely. LOL FWIW, my self calculated number from last year was 7.x. Will be interesting seeing how this moves forward.
