Man, what an afternoon round today... I shot a 68 with 2 doubles... I almost made a hole in one on 3, 2 inches, doubled the next hole then flew it in from 42 yards on the par 5 8th for an eagle. I then flew it in from 67 yards on the par 4 12th for another eagle. Then I reached the par 5 13th in 2 and 2 putted for another birdie. I then decide to pump one into the hazard on the left on the next hole for another double. What do I do then, hit it to 6 feet on the par 3 17th, in the hole for birdie and then hit it to 10 feet on 18 and made the putt... One crazy arse round I tell you... Now this is a course that has had my number, it is a new course that is very very tough... I went in and talk to the pros and it is the unofficial course record... AHAHAHAHAH my friend had the unofficial record t 69 he shot a few weeks ago... Silly game...

2 doubles??? Man, those little Windmill holes can be tough, as can be the hole where you putt it thru the Clowns feet.

The funny thing is the 12th hole's green a freaking retarded. The pin, where it was is almost impossible to birdie because it is on the front of the green on a huge hump. I have hit that shot a few time and have not hit inside 10 feet because it releases and I put a heck of a lot of spin on the ball. But it flew in and I was laughing my butt off...

Any chance you'll reconsider retiring from the game?

If you could learn to teach others, maybe a second career?

Funny game indeed. Following up eagles with doubles is so much fun I can't even tell you.

Fore!

That was funny about the double on the rocks... I have thought about teaching when I retire, I am not sure yet but we will see. Yeah, following eagles with doubles will almost make you want to split your head in half but it is the rub of the green... I followed yesterdays round today with a smooth 75, NICE!!! I shot 2 over on the front and missed 4 birdie putts on 10, 11, 12, and 13 that were inside 10 feet... Caught a flier on 14 that went over the green OB for another double and birdied 16. But had a fun round with some good friends and won a little money...

One thing I do know is the big tours are for the young guys and I am almost 40. I have thought about the Champions tour and maybe playing on some mini tours when I retire but we will see... It really is all mental with me, it was not just a few weeks ago I was thinking about quitting just because I getting bored with the game. But it is amazing how you can change your putter and need to start focusing again because you are not sure where it may go, lol...

Yes, the 68 was on Taiyo... And the 68 was from the tips, and I am sure you know how sick that course is... By the way welcome to Okinawa, I am getting ready to head back to the states.

      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

      I love Rancho Park too!  I don't get out there much due to the 405 issues (Im in Santa Clarita) but I do try and get out there every now and then...last time out was in January where I eagled 17 (left green) with a holed 145 yard third shot ! Rancho is a great course! And at 24 bucks weekday with the city card, an absolute steal!
