I didn't get to finish my 9 hole round today, as a storm began rolling in as I was finishing #7. I got to the par 5 9th tee with a 40, so I was probably looking at 45-47. My putting really let me down today. I had 3 3-putts and chips...

I have an iron set that came with a PW (45*) and AW (50*). The AW is my club for anything 95 yards and in, which makes 40/50/60/70 yard shots less desirable because I have a tough time judging them. So, I'm looking to add two wedges to...

I bought this putter back in April and I really like it. I like the weight to it, it helps me keep the line during the swing. Also thought I'd mention I never play a round without someone commenting on how big it is. The most popular...

Shot a 99 (par 72, 67.3/121, 5,700 yards). I didn't really do much of anything well today. Given how I played, I'm surprised there are as many bogeys as there are on that scorecard. Hard to make pars when you hit 2/18 GIR and can't...

Nice scores. I play a lot on a local 9 hole, par 35 (31.1/103), and average low 40s. I've scored 40 once, but haven't broken into the 30s yet. I know I'm close. It's a matter of not going OB during the round and I'm there.

I play 9 holes more often than 18. I find that I dramatically improve on the back 9 when I do play 18. I believe that's just a matter of warming up on the front. I wonder sometimes when I play my normal 9 hole course if I played again...
