usually I have a horrendous first two holes, then settle down with my tempo, I feel warmed up, stretched out and good to go!

Golf course designers making front easier than the back, i don't think thats true.. Most courses i play are pretty split even.

And the courses I play we score on the front 9 and just try and hold the line on the back 9. That isn't to say that the back 9 will always eat you up, but if given a chance it will.

There are times when I do score better on the back 9, but that doesn't happen often. One course in particular is at Heron Lakes in Portland Or, the Great Blue which is a RTJ jr championship course. Another one is Stone Creek in Oregon City. Front 9 is just a lot of fun; back 9, you have to control your ball from tee to green.

I say the Front 9 is designed to boost your confidence for the Back 9.

Driver: :cobra: BiO Cell (10.5º)

Wood: :ping: G15 3 (15.5°)

Hybrids: :callaway: Diablo Edge: 3 (21º), 4 (24º)

Irons: :callaway: Diablo Edge: 5-PW

Wedges: :cleveland:588 RTX CB 50º, Paradise Black Chrome II Sand Wedge 56º

Definitely the back 9 is better. Really anything after the first few holes is fine -- I just try to get through those without butchering the scorecard too much until I get warmed up. Inevitably, I'm +3 (or more) through the first few and feel like I have to play perfect from there on out. Just like my last 9 in league: started double (easiest hole), bogey, double (penalty + 3 putt), then finished all pars (5/5 FHs + 6/6 GIRs + 12 putts... nice and boring). Of course, this depends on how much I'm drinking...

      Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
