Excellent weekend

[moparman426]

I wasn't going to post this for fear of not wearing my fire-retardant suit today....but I can't hold it in anymore....Saturday morning, my friend and I went out for one of our usual weekend rounds and my striking was on fire. Hole 5, where I had taken longest drive a few weeks ago with a measly 220y in my first tourney ever was my lucky hole once again. Google earth measures the hole at 365y, right on with the score card. My drive ended up 12 paces from the pin....roughly 353 yards!!!!! I have hit 280 a few times on hole 4 when I cut across the ravine as long as there is no head wind, but holy crap. 353? The was a 5-10mph tail wind and the fairways are pretty hard right now, but damn.....


Anyway, I am really happy that the honeymoon period hasn't ended for my new driver yet, and let the flaming begin.

How did you finish the hole? That would determine how good the weekend was for me

I parred in for four and ended nine holes at seven over, which has been pretty consistent for me the past month.

No flame, but if it took 3 to get down from 12 yards, you need a honeymoon with your short game. A birdie would have made it an even better weekend.

I was still chuckling a bit and should have settled down before chipping. Normally a chip close to the hole from that distance is pretty doable for me, but i can live with a duffed chip and a 2 putt on sand greens after my once in a lifetime drive. My putting is just starting to come around, so hopefully my HC will reflect that by the end of the season, but if it doesn't, I am still happy with this years progress in other areas.

Hey, that's a great shot, and one heck of a drive!

I'm pretty sure that I have the same driver as you. If only I could hit it 353 with it....

Hey, thanks! I am sure it is never going to happen again, lol, was just one of those freak things, but at least I had someone to witness it. As for the driver, it's listed in my sig, and pictured in my avatar. TP version, 08' tour burner model. Distance isn't really an issue for me, but accuracy bites me in the behind more often than not.

Yep, that's exactly like the one that I have.
