I've been playing golf for 8 years, but started playing seriously about 3 years ago. I had the right idea's but my swing was terrible, and I had no fundamentals. I didn't get lessons till about 5 months ago.

Q: What's the highest score you've ever shot in a round?

Driver: Callaway Big Bertha Diablo 9º
2 Hybrid: Callaway Big Bertha Heavenwood
Irons: Nike Slingshot OSS 6-3 iron
          Taylormade Tour Preferred PW-7 iron
Wedges: Cleveland CG14 50º, 54º
              Taylormade RAC 58º
Putter: Ping Darby 32" shaft


 


Like 125 or something. I quit keeping score, I really sucked that day. The very next day, I shot an 83.

Q?- Did you go to church this morning?

A: No I did not.

Q: How many holes do you play a week?

In my Xtreme Sport bag
'09 Burner 9.5*
F50 15* 3 Wood
Burner 18* 5 Wood
MX-19 4-GW SV Tour 54.12 & 58.08 White Hot 2-Ball SRT


A: 18, when I'm lucky, 36.

Q: Do you wear a white belt?

Driver= Titleist 909D3 9.5 deg
3 Wood= Titleist 909F3 15 deg
Hybrid= Adams Idea Pro Black 19 deg
Irons 3-P= Titleist 695 CB
Wedges= Titleist Vokey Spin Mill 54/10, 60/4Putter= Titleist Scotty Cameron Newport 1.5Ball= Titleist ProV1x, NXT Tour


right now, most everything is clicking, but 90% of the time, when I have my 60 in my hand, i'm deadly. I wish it was my putter though.

Q?-Have you ever been in a fight, if yes, explain?

A. Yes. Two of them to be precise. The first was in 7th grade with my best friend. He was a Ritalin kid whose dad smoked pot all the time and was pretty much disconnected from the world. I think my friend wanted to see if I would stick around when the going gets tough so he started egging me on. The fight started in the street, somehow we ended up in the front yard, then we were inside for a while, I told him to chill because I needed some water and a breather, we took a break for about 5 minutes and started wailing on each other again. Then after about an hour of fighting total combined with dual nosebleeds, we called it quit and went to watch a movie. Our relationship went to a whole new level. The second was in high school. It was a little one sided and I'm not proud of it. Thankfully his parents didn't sue.

Q. Other than Tiger, who would you most like to caddy for a day?

[ Equipment ]
R11 9° (Lowered to 8.5°) UST Proforce VTS 7x tipped 1" | 906F2 15° and 18° | 585H 21° | Mizuno MP-67 +1 length TT DG X100 | Vokey 52° Oil Can, Cleveland CG10 2-dot 56° and 60° | TM Rossa Corza Ghost 35.5" | Srixon Z Star XV | Size 14 Footjoy Green Joys | Tour Striker Pro 5, 7, 56 | Swingwing


Second fight must of been a bad one. I've been sucker punched in the nose, went straight to the jail-house and pressed charges.

Answer to your question is definitely Phil. I would, because I love the way he plays aggressive golf. Go big or go home right.

Q?-Have you ever been out of your home country? What for?

A: Many times, for work (Netherlands, France, China, Taiwan, Japan, Guam, Saipan, Thailand), and many many times for pleasure (long list).

Q: Did you gain/lose any friends by taking up golf?

Driver: Nike Ignite 10.5 w/ Fujikura Motore F1
2H: King Cobra
4H: Nickent 4DX
5H: Adams A3
6I 7I 8I 9I PW: Mizuno mp-57Wedges: Mizuno MP T-10 50, 54, 58 Ball: random


No I haven't been out of the country.

Winning a 27 hole tourney by 16 and shooting even for the first time ever with 25 people watching.

Do you like par 3s, 4s or 5s better?

In My Hank Haney IJGA Bag
Driver: FT Tour 9.5 w/ Aldila Voodoo Stiff
3 Wood: i15 15.5 w/ avixcore red stiff
Hybrids: Rescue 09 19, 22 w/ fujikara fit on stiff
Irons: 4 & 5 MP-52, 6-PW MP-58 w/ KBS Tour Stiff Wedges: MP T-10 52*, 58* w/ KBS Tour StiifPutter: Fastback 1 34 inBall: : Pro...


I like par 4s best. I look forward to the fives cause I hit long so I can usually get close in 2 (or on if I'm really feeling it with my hybrid that day), and I pitch fairly well so the 5s are much better birdie opportunities than the rest for me, but there's nothing like a solid drive and then dropping a mid iron right where you wanted it and sticking it...

Q: What's the fewest, and most, putts you've made in a round? (As in total, given that you "make" 18 putts every round!)

Matt

When I have to. As of right now, I have a pin seeking fade with my short irons, so I use it all the time. That's why I need to get my draw back down, because on the course I've been playing lately, there are two holes that demand a draw from me, and I've been OB on them everytime. At least it's a scramble, lol. One reason it's critical though is because it's a 9 hole course.

Q?- What's one of the biggest regrets you've ever had?

A: Back in the day, a chubby chick I woke up with, a bunch of broken stuff in my dorm room, and a pissed off roommate.

Q: What's your biggest golf purchase regret?

Driver= Titleist 909D3 9.5 deg
3 Wood= Titleist 909F3 15 deg
Hybrid= Adams Idea Pro Black 19 deg
Irons 3-P= Titleist 695 CB
Wedges= Titleist Vokey Spin Mill 54/10, 60/4Putter= Titleist Scotty Cameron Newport 1.5Ball= Titleist ProV1x, NXT Tour


A) Set of Callaway X18 irons.

B) Matchplay or Strokeplay?

In the bag......
Driver: Ping G10 10.5 Prolaunch Red regular.
3 wood: Ping G10 15.5 Prolaunch Red regular.
5 wood: Ping G10 18.5 Prolaunch Red regular.
Hybrids: Ping i15 20 degree AWT regular (on order!)4-PW: Ping i15 AWT regularGap Wedge: Ping Tour-W 50/12 AWT regular (on order!)Sand Wedge:...


A: if money if on the line... match play is most exciting, but stroke play is the true test... so final answer is a little of the former and more of the latter.

Q: group of guys you know take a golf vacation every year to a place blessed with literally 100's of great courses (Northern MI)... would you rather play different courses every year or the same courses (like these dumbies do)?
My Clubs: Callaway FT-i Tour LCG 9.5° w/ Matrix Ozik Xcon 6 stiff; Sonartec GS Tour 14° w/ Graphite Design Red Ice 70 stiff; Adams Idea Pro 2h(18°) & 3h(20°) w/ Aldila VS Proto 80 stiff; Adams Idea Pro Forged 4-PW w/ TT Black Gold stiff; Cleveland CG12 DSG RTG 52°-10° & 58°-10°; Odyssey...

    • Day 133: did a stack session. 
    • You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.
    • Day 58 - 2024-11-27 Some quick 90-yard shots on a particular hole… before a lesson and testing out multiple Foresight Launch Monitors on GSPro.
    • Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies. 
    • 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.
