It may have been by the sweat of my ass.....but i broke 90!!

I've broken both my year 1 goals in the first four months I've started golfing. I guess my new goal in 85.

I didn't add it up till after I was done, if I had known how close I was I probably would have choked...

Good job, I notice you have a couple of trpple's in there, if you can work on what caused the big numbers you should be able to break 85 easy.

Driver: Taylormade R9
3 Wood: Cobra S 9-1
5 Wood: Cobra S 9-1
7 Wood: Cobra S 9-1

Irons: Taylormade r7 Custom Fit (SW-4)

Thanks!!

11 was a lost ball. I was playing through some guys and of course laid a big turd off the tee box while everyone was looking at me. 18 was water, I laid up but hit the most pure shot of my life and it rolled down the bank.

The scores don't look it, but I actually thought I played a little better the back nine. The front I couldn't hit my irons for anything. It was really my short game that was allowing me to keep it close to the pin for bogey's....

It's in Puryear TN, about fifteen minutes south of Murray Kentucky. On Thursday it's $20 including cart, this is the first Thursday it hasn't been storming on about two months...

yeah, there is not much difference, only about 150 yards total per side so I just went on back. It dropped my handicap almost a whole point

It was just the Par 3's here. And it was only the difference of a club or two....

If I could have gotten my irons going sooner I think I could have had more pars on the front nine...

Oh well, I'm excited for next time...

Nice work nuck.
Once you break one goal you'll race to the next one.

I think counting your score isn't a good idea, if you don't keep it in your head you won't focus on your score.
But that depends if you use a scorecard, me and my friends don't bother unless we're in a competitions.

All you need to do is become consistent, if you don't lose any balls low 80 scores are easy.

Thanks man, I was keeping it hole by hole, but didn't add it up till the end. The 7 on 18 scared me. I knew I was close but thought I'd be ok. I laid up and the SOB rolled into the water anyway, but it all worked out. I'm giving myself a month for an 85 and my new year 1 goal is 79!!

      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
