Probably a Dead Wings errr....Red Wings fan

I grew up in Rochester and Oxford Michigan (about 45 minutes north of Detroit on I-75)... so I am definately a Wings fan. I have been a Wings fan since back when they couldn't break 500, through the tough losses to the Oilers in the playoffs and the team that grew out of such, and all the glory we've had with the three cups. In fact I've played games at the Joe (Joe Louis Arena) on a few occaisions when I was a lad. I can probably name every team we've lost to in the playoffs in the past 20 years. My aunt bought my wife a decorative wood sign that sits in living room and reads "WE INTERUPT THIS MARRIAGE... for hockey season"

Greetings, I lived in Findlay (Flag City) at the beginning of this decade for a couple of years, used to shoot trap and sporting clays at Jaquas and the UCOA before I switched to golf. At the time, I was working and driving to Dayton everyday.

    • Awesome. We were originally going to play Quail Ridge but ended up moving some things around and are going to do the following when we go in May Day 1 Tobacco Road Day 2 Southern Pines and Pine Needles Day 3 Tot Hill Farm There are a couple good course vlog/matches on YouTube at Southern Pines, it looks awesome.
    • I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills. 
    • You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized. 
    • 32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.
    • Keep us up to date with your findings, please.  I'm not looking for a putter, but I'm sure you're not alone in your venture to get the putts rolling better.
