Knocked another one off, one of our harder par 4’s , dogleg with undulating fairway. All of the holes on the back nine are similar as it’s an old riverbed. Only one to go on the front nine , oddly enough, the one I would probably birdie the most, the only par five with the prevailing wind helping . Our four par fives are 530 to 550 yards from the front tees. We still have a reasonable amount of summer run, and despite being on the upslope of the green in two twice last week it still eludes me.

Different time zones?

Managed to birdie 18 yesterday. The green is like a bowl, was about 20 feet away pin high . My mate was on the opposite side in the rough and chipped his too hard and landed directly behind mine almost touching. Give me a nice read , not many straight putts on that green .

Nice to get stroke hole three out of the way, our longest par four off the whites at 420 yards, with a burn( stream) just shot of the green. Hit a nice seven iron to 5/6 feet & made a nice putt.

I replied to this earlier, but it seems to have disappeared. Thanks for your replies folks, I would say you’ve confirmed what I suspected . I’ve just swapped shafts from the old club at the moment, what a mission to get the shaft out of the head. The G 410 was a 14°, the G430 a 16° . I am hitting it way higher than I thought with a 2° difference , and I’ve had to tee it right down. The bonus is, I appear to be hitting it a little bit further ;-)

I am more asking, is there any significant advantage to me buying an expensive shaft?

I’ve recently bought a new driver and three wood head, updated to the latest Ping models. My current set have Fujikura shafts, and they would fit the new models, but I thought I might buy shafts and sell the older ones complete. A quick search on eBay shows prices ranging from US$50-US$500, so my question is what is so different to justify those prices. ? There are plenty around the $100 mark, what if anything is there to gain by buying such an expensive shaft? Just for information only ,as there is no way I would pay that for a Golf shaft , but also I would be staying away from the cheapest ones . Normally, you get what you pay for, and in this instance, I’m not sure exactly what I am paying for . Thanks Thanks

On a bit of a birdie run ATM. Picked up one or two almost every round, left two Eagle putts just short, tut tut ,and hit the pin with a wedge on a part five also for Eagle. Course is very dry and playing short

Interesting, although I’d never heard of it. I’ve had a couple of Basal cell carcinoma cut out of my forehead, and also had some ointment for some smaller ones that were starting up . The UV here is very strong( NZ) and I put on SPF all year round. The burn time at this time of the year can be as little as 10/12 minutes.

Two birdies today, one duplicate already;-(
