A quick question...ive played golf at a par 3 course for about a year and a half,i joined a better club this year and i have to do 3 cards for my HC...ive done two and scored 95 and 96..i have to do a third card with a commitee member of the club and i have to go off the white competition tee's which are harder and longer...im getting a lot better with my irons and the last two rounds i seem to of ironed out my slice with my driver..im hitting my driver about 220yards maximum(on a good strike) and keeping it in play...i really want my HC so i can enter comps and meet new people but i just dont feel ready,how and when should i just go for that final card,,what would you guys do...

Do 3-cards for a HC? What the . . . ?

Your handicap index is in constant flux - play whenever you have time. If you wait to be in some type of zen state to play a handicap round, then how will you play a competition round at somebody else's schedule?

In Canada (RCGA rules) I think you need a minimum of 5 rounds. Eventually it's the lowest 10 differentials of your most recent 20 rounds, hence the constant flux reference.

At my club . . .

Where's that? I mean, if somebody from your country was to win a gold medal, what song would be played at the medal ceremony?

I'd do it Tiger! i'm 14 and when i went of Whites for the first time I was scared, but i got used to it! all it is is that it's a bit longer, maybe a club or two more going for the green on a par 4. Just do it and THINK POSITIVE!!!

the results of a round should never weigh on your mind, a round of golf is simply a series of single shots that you must play one at a time. thats how you should look at it.

      New Maxfli Forged Irons - $800!

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      Has anyone played the new Maxfli forged irons? For the first time in I don't know how many years, they have come out with new clubs. From what I read, Maxfli was bought by Taylor Made a long time ago which then took all of their ball making technology and patents in order to get into that market. The club business was left to whither and the reorganized company, now a part of Dicks / Golfworks / Maltby, is producing these new clubs. (Their Tour X balls which I play are really good.) Anyway, I tried them both out at Golf Galaxy. There's a player's distance iron (XC-3) and a blade (XC-2) and both feel really, really nice, almost "Mizuno-like" in their soft buttery feel and they're a bargain at $800 for a set. I'm planning to ditch my Titleist's and want to go back to a forged iron. I almost pulled the trigger on the Mizuno Pro-245's last summer, but a damaged tendon sheath in my finger combined with a back injury messed up my golf game so I held off. Now the Pro-245's are no longer available, soon to be replaced by the MX-15. (At twice the price of the Maxfli's...that's what got my attention in the first place.) If anyone has played with the new Maxfli's or just tried them out like I did, let me know what you think.
