I think I have the lowest launch angel in the history of golf LOL.

I went and played on a custom swing monitor as I got fitted for a new 3&5 wood and hybrid, and used a 7 iron to warm up...

Launch angel of 17*...7 iron should be around 21.

I was loving the results though, carry of 192 yards...those steroids must be working

I just thought it was interesting and thought I'd share my rare oddity.

Wow, you carry a 7 iron 192 yards. That's amazing

Fishing for compliments?

Golf is a game in which the ball always lies poorly and the player always lies well.

hmm i might be able to give u a run for ur money on that one.

i was hitting a few diff. drivers on the golfsmith launch monitor earlier this week and at first my avg. launch angle was around 7 degrees or so and i was only carrying the ball 200 yds. we made a few adjustments to my grip and got it up around 11-13 though and a carry around 220 yds. the guy said that it was still a bit low, but if it was working for me then to just stick with it till the rest of my swing comes around.

longballer, i think you might have been fishing for compliments when you claimed your driver ss was 145 mph....

Are you sure this wasn't just a jab at the ridiculous swing cameras they use when trying to sell you clubs and how they always overestimate distance?

lol of course the distance was over estimated. I know damn well my 7 iron doesn't go 200 unless I have a nice breeze helping it.

      Sheep Ranch (Bandon, Oregon)

      By mdl · Posted

      So excited you made it out! I live in Portland and go most springs. If you liked Sheep's Ranch you ain't seen nothing yet. It's incredibly picturesque and with a 2 club wind it's not a cake walk. But as far as the quality of the course in terms of challenge and interest, in my opinion it's easily the worst on the property! Also, Old Mac started as my least favorite (this was before Sheep's Ranch opened). But I listened to the fried egg podcast about it and read through Doak's descriptions and it totally changed my perspective. Now it's fighting for top spot. So excited for you!
