Had a great round today despite poison ivy all over my hands : / maybe it kept my focus off my swing and just let me hit the ball. I had several realllly nice shots. I am typically reserved but I feel that at least a couple of the shots were scratch player good. I made a 30 foot putt to save par and had, no lie, either 4 or 5 birdie putts...all of which lipped out. Not once was I mad though, because my putting was awesome. My chipping was much improved as well. My driver let me down a bit but I did learn something about it today. I need a stiff shaft... I hit my uncle's burner with a stiff shaft and both drives were on a rope and slightly farther instead of a fade at best and slice at worst.

I had a 45 on the front (par 35) and a 42 on the back (par 37) for an 87. I had a blow up hole on the front and back (a 7 on the front and an 8 on the back...both on par 4s). I am excited to think about my future rounds if I can eliminate those holes. Bogeys on both those holes would havedropped my score to a nice 82.

All in all it was a fantastic day, I actually looked like I knew what I was doing. But I have to remember that I have only been playing for a short time and consistency will ocme with more rounds.

Seems we are in the same boat, managed to break 90 in two consecutive rounds this week (86 and 89). I played really good for the 86 but felt like I was 10 over par for the 89, couldn't putt at all! It's a good feeling when all the practice starts to show itself on the course! Keep at it!

Poison Ivy on your hands, that would drive me nuts, probably unable to putt good..

Congrats on breaking 90, now its time to work down to 80...

To do that, elimate all lost balls, penalties, ect, and try to hit a few more GIR's...

Yeah, I hit two into water, saved par on one and bogey on the other, so it could have been worse. Those were my only penalties. GIRs were pretty good, but could certaintly improve. The blow up holes killed me though.

Congratulations. May you have many more sub-90 rounds.

Congrats to both of you on breaking 90. I was on track for breaking 90 today, but my blow-up holes were 17 and 18 unfortunately. I dropped 6 strokes on those two holes to finish with a 95.

Thanks a lot guys! Several days later now, I have yet to be back out o the course (stupid poison). But I am feeling much better today and will be out on the range tonight (hitting new drivers! - see thread in equipment section). Hopefully I can go out and back up my latest round with another good one this weekend.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By rod7515 · Posted

      This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod
