EnderinAZ Posted Tuesday at 05:17 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:17 AM Played a decent round today though it took me a couple of down hill putts to get a handle on the very FAST greens! That and the wind was up, way up. Gusting between 20 and 25 mph. Those gusts took my ball for some unintended trips. But, my short game work with Pelz's finesse swing is really starting to pay off. If I am 55 yards off the green behind a bunker bordering a narrow green I know a nine o:clock sand wedge with an open face will drop and quickly stop on the green, and that is a great confidence builder. Putting was very good too. So shot a 9 over 82 with only one double and one birdie.

Last year though, my best really pretty much ended with the season ending. I curious and can't wait to start the new season in a few weeks or maybe days???? My question is, how long do you take before you start to feel that you're in pretty good new season form. Ready to take on all comers. For me it has usually taken 4-6 weeks of weekly play, which seems to correspond with mid May here in central MI. How about you all? 3-4 weeks sounds right to me, I only play a round a week and had a few weeks of not keeping score before I shot under 100 again. cksurfdude, Dweed, William P and 1 other 4 Quote Driver : Rogue ST Max LS, 10.5° loft, MCA TENSEI AV White 65g, Stiff flex (44.5", Draw setting) 3-Wood: Rogue ST LS, 15° loft, MCA TENSEI AV Blue 65g, Reg flex (42.25", tipped 0.5") 3-Utility: 699 Pro V2 Utility Satin, 18° loft, HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 80g, 5.5 flex Irons: T200 6i-GW, 27°-48° lofts, Nippon Modus3 120g, Stiff flex (+0.25”, 1° upright) Wedges: Indi FLX S-Grind, 52°/56°/60° lofts, Dynamic Gold Spinner 115g, Wedge flex Putter: King Vintage Sport 60, SteelFiber P125 shaft (34"), Quad Tour Taper grip Bag: Ultralight Pro, Ski Patrol/Black Push Cart: Nitron, Black/Red Rangefinder: Bushnell Tour V5 Shift 2023 MGS Forum Review: Sugar Golf Balls (Final Review Posted) 2023 MGS Forum Review: Sycamore 009 Mini Putter (Final Review Posted) -TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Atkinson Posted Tuesday at 01:29 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:29 PM Got out for a quick 9 yesterday. Game was total inverse of what it usually is, hitting every fairway off the tee and then being terrible around the green. If it's not one thing, it's the other. 48 (+12) 7/7 FIR (100%) 4/9 GIR (44%) [Last 4 greens] 19 putts (2 1-putts, 4 2-putts, 3 3-putts) Highlight: Obviously drove the ball really well today, hitting every fairway, finishing up with a birdie on 18 Room to improve: Just got to get more consistent. Finally getting back to being able to play more consistently and have to make that count.

Syks7 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago I think I'm really going to like these ZX7s. Had kind of a cold start with them while I figured out how to play them and what distances I should be play for on each club. They're about 1/2 a club longer for me at the top end, = in the mids, and marginally shorter at the bottom end since the 9, PW, and AW are much more traditional lofts. I went 6 over through five holes then caught fire and finished 3 over for the final 13 holes. That's with two three putt bogeys on the back 9 One of the three putts was not paying attention from 3 feet and the other was gunning it by the hole trying to get a birdie. Ended up 41/40 81. I knew I was playing well, but wasn't paying attention to the score. The better part of the day was that I played with an older friend of mine who's come off a bad couple years of health. He played 18 holes with me for the first time in over two years.

Triple_Putt Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Was able to walk 9 this morning before the weather came in, the threat kept everyone away as I was basically alone on the course which was phenomenal. Shot +8 which was a great start to the season for me. One very lucky birdie on an extremely long putt. My iron play was great but with the wedges around the greens I was terrible. Lucky enough to have plenty of time to go ahead and replay a few bad shots after I finished the hole out. Very thankful the weather held out and it was actually sunny half the time. I need to try and work on taking more photos while I play, but I honestly keep the phone away and focus on play especially on a day like today with nobody around. Looking forward to a possible Easter Day round if things pan out.
