Yeah it is nice. They have it like that sometimes. A lot of the time they let the rough grow up and that grip it and rip is a no-no unless you can hit it straight. Now when your ball goes in the rough...it's deep. I like it...its tough!

Howdy BigTazz!!!


Memphis is a super town. My wife and I really enjoyed a little long weekend gettaway there earlier this year.

It was cold on Beale....lucky for us there were plenty of spots to duck into and hear some great tunes and have some great fun.





Really cool city. Gotta get back there in the summer.

Try the Tennessean up in Paris sometime. Great course and great people. They are reworking half the greens right now and plan to do the other half next summer. so call first to check the conditions.

I think the Paris Landing course is in better shape. The Tennessean almost went out of business but some new people have bought it now, so maybe it will be back to where it was. It used to be one of the nicest courses in the state.

    • 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.
