Today I played Monday like a champ. Here's the schedule:

5:00, hit the pizza joint for happy hour. Get a pitcher of Fat Tire for $7, split it with my buddy. Enjoy free pizza (cheese, pepperoni, combo veggie), meatballs, crudité, etc. Take off 6:15, hit a local course at 6:30. At this place, the Pro shop closes at 6:00, so we head to the first tee and walk 9 holes. I had a few pars and a birdie.

So: Pizza, Beer, Golf = $3.50 (well, we tipped too, so it was a little more). That's my Monday "Stimulus Package".

Not to rain on your monday or anything, but is playing after the pro shop closes allowed? Some places would call that trespassing.

Yes. Not this place. The shop is closed but they're all still around. I've played with some of them before after close. Nice people like me also pay and play during the day, clean up the tee boxes and fix the greens. Nice try raining on my parade!

That sounds like a great course. I really like courses where you get the know the guys and you are actually valued as a regular customer, not just seen as another greens fee.

    • I absolutely LOVE my new Titliest U505 3 iron.  It was slightly chunky looking at first, but I don't even notice it anymore after just a couple rounds with it. It's super easy to launch it high and I have no issues flighting it down either.  Perfectly fine to hit off the tee for tighter tee shots and for 2nd shots into par 5s. Even the mishits go much further than I think they should, it's quite forgiving.
    • Obviously I'm not you and you have a far more mature swing than mine, but swing length is an issue for me as well if you see my swing thread. What I'm finding is more the difference between arm plane (vertical) and shoulder plane (flat), more the arm runs off (length) uncontrolled. It could be coincidence.

    • Thanks for the insight. This is not on my radar, and I am not sure it is something I need to worry about right now or if at all. I am a bit more concerned with swing length right now. Maybe tilt affects that, but most likely not to the degree in which I overswing 😉. 
    • speed blades don't have a 3iron that I know of. My 4 is already 20* . I love it as it is super straight. I went to golf Galaxy to try some hybrids and 2 iron my numbers and spin were bouncing all over the place. wasn't hitting good that day. I did hit the 4 ping 430 hybrid 215yds a  couple of times but never got consistency anywhere. It was all me mis hitting that day.The GAPR is something to think about and would like to try one sometime. in the meantime I had a 16* Adams Gold pro hybrid I was using. I took it out, choked up on it to hit it like an iron and hit it 185 into the wind and 230 with wind at my back. I am gonna ride with this awhile and see what I got. Looks promising from 1st outing.
