Hey Guys and Gals,

My name is David Baker but yall can call me DBake, I am 21 and from the west coast. I have lived most of my life in Washington State, and current residing in Arizona, but currently going to school in Missouri at Central Missouri State University on a baseball scholarship so my golfing time is little to non except in the summer with when I get a few rounds in. I have been playing golf on and off for 7 years now and my most memorable memory is playing high school golf for 3 years. When I was playing every day my handicap was a 9 and I could bet my handicap now would be a 12 or 14. My favorite course I enjoy to play is Golf Mountain Golf Club (Olympic Course) which will be the sight for the 2006 USGA Amateur Public Links Championship. My current golf equipment consist of

Driver: Mizuno T-Zoid Titanium Forged, 9*, Accel-Arc Stiff

Hey Guys and Gals,

Nice! Welcome to the Sand Trap. Glad to have you... are you going to try out for the Public Links? You've got nine months or so to prepare, eh?

Gold Mountain is an awesome course. I've played the Olympic twice and played the Cascade course for the first time last week. The Olympic is obviously the better of the two. Welcome.

    • Gooch ended up getting the invite...
    • Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.

    • Day 2:  I hit a bucket of balls this morning.  Not gonna lie, almost didn’t go since it was my first time going alone and it was a little intimidating.  I mostly hit with my driver (the last bit of balls was with my 7 iron).  The sun was in my face but I think the ones that had good contact with went the furthest yet (maybe 150 yards then a good roll?).  Once I switched to my 7, the first half of my balls were crap.  I’ve always hit my irons before my driver when practicing and done fine - does this make any difference or is it just because I’m so green?
    • It's likely per "category" of clubs, so irons would be one category, wedges would be a category, driver a category, fairway woods/hybrid a category, etc. They aren't going to charge you $50 per iron for a fitting. Almost all iron fittings are done with like a 6 or 7 iron, fitters don't carry full sets of every iron. So yes, if you use a 7 iron for the fitting and let's say you get fit into the P790 with a certain shaft, 1 degree flat and .5" longer than normal you would just order the full set of P790s with that shaft/lie angle/length combination and you'll be perfectly fine.
