Well i went to the Exelon Invitational hosted by Jim Furyk today. Its held at The Ace Club. An amazing course, really gorgeous. The other 3 Jim had at the tourney were Kenny Perry, Paul Casey, and Anthony Kim. Really good 4some. I didnt follow the guys shot for shot. Kind of just went around and posted up on some different holes with good vantage points. On their 15th hole i believe it was a long par 3. AK got an ace. That was pretty cool cause I was standing right behind him on the tee. Then he proceeded to buy the gallery a beer. Which i then enjoyed even more. haha. all in all, a great Invitational hosted by Furyk.

Sounds like a fun event. I didn't now he hosted anything of the sort. Is it just an exhibition match? How does it work?

it was a better ball of 2some. Ended up matching furyk and Kim against Casey and perry. Furyk and Kim won i think 3&2.

just been reading about it and apparently furyk holed a 40 footer for birdie with a five iron as him, kim and casey all used only one club for the last three holes, furyk a five iron, kim a 3-wood and casey a four iron!

One of the coolest things I've heard of.....knew I liked AK for a reason...very cool.

it was an expensive round of beers none the less. Also pretty much made me like AK even more as a golfer. That guy has class. But yet he's really down to earth.

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.

      Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.

      Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.

      The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.

      7 Wood

      By ZenShot ·

      I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
