Popular Post PMookie 17,027 Posted November 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2021 Shot 75 (39/36) and I can say it was one of my best rounds of the year! 72% of greens was the key, along with some really good 1/2 and 3/4 wedge shots. These Edels are ridiculous.

Popular Post fixyurdivot 16,667 Posted November 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2021 Well, the sub 80 run ended today at Mesa Del Sol. 38/43 . 4 great birdie attempts on the front but could not get any to drop. Both par 3's got me for bogies. On #10, I sent my drive wayward right and OB. #3 off the tee was good but I pushed #4 right and chipped past the hole leaving a slippery, speedy downhill putt - which slipped off the edge and just kept rolling. In for a quadruple bogey . I worked much harder keeping things in check the rest of the round and was happy I didn't let it get away from me with a quad, bogey start . The guy in the center, second photo will be 90 years old tomorrow! 14 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DStar 1,320 Posted November 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2021 Had the club winter open on Friday, 4-ball best 2 scores to count. As a team we didn't do so well, steady but not good enough to get into contention. I played OK, but drove really well hitting 10/15 fairways. Highlight was the 1st tee. Been having a bit of banter with the assistant pro about how far I'm hitting the driver and he was the starter on the tee, par 4, 320y to the middle. We waited for our tee-off and said I would go last to wait for the green to clear... "You don't need to wait, you won't reach the green today" he said.... Cue a perfect drive, arrow straight down the middle. One bounce and rolled about 6 yards on Missed the eagle but tapped in for a birdie... 14 1 Quote RADSpeed 9° Matrix Black Tie X-Flex F9 3/4 Wood Aldila NV 2KXV Blue CLK 19° Hybrid Speeder Evo HB S MP54 4-PW Nippon Modus³ Tour 115 X SM8 50° F-Grind SM8 54° F-Grind SM8 58° K-Grind DStar 'Malvern' Putter AVX & -ProV1X Tour-X "Hey mister, your clubs are the wrong way round"..

Popular Post cjeffs12 814 Posted November 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2021 It was two weeks since I touched my golf clubs, but I got two better than expected rounds in this weekend. My ball striking was the really good, but I could not get any putts to fall for me to post better scores. I still have my goal set to get back in the 6 or better range for handicap by the end of the year. Also, it was the first rounds with my new fitted SIM2 (beast) driver.

Popular Post sirchunksalot 15,754 Posted November 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2021 We're off work this week and one of the guys invited me to play a round with him, his son, and one of his son's friends. We decided to play a scramble with the old guys playing against the boys. We played at Moccasin Bend near downtown Chattanooga, a course I haven't played before. I'll play there again, it was fairly open and flat. We started off strong, winning the first nine by two, but fell apart on the back. We scored 88, I'm not going to gripe about that considering we both shoot in the 100's way too often. Those young guys can bomb it and if they ever get control over their clubs, they'll be good. My game was as solid as it's been in the last year, except for approaches in the 25-60 yard range. My ground contact was chunky and since it rained last night, that wasn't good. Driver was decent, I hit some good fairway woods and irons. I feel like I'm starting to see positive results from the work I'm putting in from the lesson. Some highlights from my round. First hole, hit fairway and had 138 to the pin. Hit 7 iron slightly right of the flag and rolled off the green. I hit another 7 iron on a par 3 that was 146 to the flag and hit it on a line at the flag and came up about 15 feet short. Two of the par 5's we used all my approaches and ended up on in regulation. The 18th was playing 480 hit a drive in the fairway with 268 left to the flag. I pulled 3 wood and hit one to 41 yards and chipped just past the flag. Even though they took us down in the end, it was a fun round and a nice day to be on the course. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PMookie 17,027 Posted November 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2021 Redeemed myself at a tough course in East Texas. I had vowed not to come back, but I couldn’t let her have the last word! Shot 79 (40/39). I lost three balls off the tee just because of the stupid blind tee shots! Oh well, I broke 80 which is ALWAYS the goal. 11 2 Quote Driver: King F9 Speedback/Epic Max LS, Xphlexxx Busa 2 Liquid, XX stiff, 45” Fwy: Epic Speed 4w, MMT 80X Hybrid: X2 Hot Pro, 20*, Graphite Design Tour AD-DI 105X Irons: TR20 Tour P 4-10, Modus 130 stiff, +1” Wedges: SMS 50D/54V/58DModus 130 stiff, +1” Putter: EAS 1.0 All but putter have Lamkin ST+2 Hybrid Calibrate midsize built to oversize +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
