... and sometimes can be found in Florida. Hello everyone.

Nope... I'm not that good at this game so, I don't keep score. I have no idea what my handicap is... I think that's a trick question on the sign up. LOL

Anyway, I haven't played that many courses in CT although I DID get a membership card at my local club... I guess I had to, my daughter works there.
Most of the courses I frequent are in Pinellas County FL but, I do drag the clubs along with me instead of leaving them down there.

In my Bag Boy XLT-15 bag:
Cobra 10.5* Speed Pro S driver
Cobra 15* Speed Pro 3W
Cobra 20* Baffler Pro
Cobra UFI 4-PW,GW,SW,LW Graphite Cobra Melbourne II putter Ball = Pinnacle: FX Long Gold Cart = ClicGear 2.0 in yellow

CT here too. You should check out Oxford Greens in oxford, (i think your near). The course is absolutely drop-dead-gorgeous. I'm not gonna lie to you, it's a vicious track. Take the 607 par 5 for example...;^). But sometimes that's good, makes normal courses seem like a cake walk. And you feel like a champ when you do well! Pricey on weekends, but they got cut rates on weekdays/twilight....

In my bag:
r7 9.5, 47"
18* burner rescue 08
x-18, 3-Pw
cg14 camo, 52* 56* 60* DFX 5500, blade, $70 jewel.. ........Jack herer....mountain dew......You know you wanna play here, pony up::http://www.lakeofisles.com/golf/nort...seflyover.html

I saw OG listed in the guide and yes, it's not far from me. I may have to try that one out.
Although I've only been there once the course that really impressed me was Quarry Ridge over in Portland.

    • 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.
