SO... I got asked to play in kind of an exhibition match against one of Japans young future rising stars. She is 14 years old and we played in a 4 Ball match with 3 separate matches going on at once. Me and my friend played her and her coach a 1 ball match and me and my friend played her in individual matches... We both beat her 4&3 but I tell you what, she could hit the ball but what I was most impressed with was her putting. She was a very good putter! We are good friends with her coach and mentor and he wanted her to play with a couple of grizzled veterans to help teach her about tenacity...

I played a very vanilla round, I had 15 pars 2 bogeys and 1 birdie. I think she got a little frustrated because me and my partner were just hitting fairways and greens and 2 putting. A good lesson for her!!! I really enjoyed it though...

And oh by the way, she was playing from the tips, 6735 yards and she was hitting it around 270... SHe is only 14...lol

Wow, nice.

How did she play then? Sticking it to the flag on some shots and then missing the green and scrambling on other shots?
I'm trying to play less aggressive now, there's no point going for the pin when all you have to do is hit the green and 2 putt for a par. (Hard to do when on the course though).

So does she play off the reds or the tips normally?

She started going birdie birdie hitting the 2nd hole, a par 5 in 2! She hit her second shot to about 20 feet, I was laughing because she hit a 4 wood to 20 feet and I hit my 6 iron to about 30 feet... Silly...

It was a very fun round, I could tell though that she was use to hitting it past a lot of people but my buddie and I are a little long of the tee... I purposely hit a 3 wood off the T once on a par 4 that is 420 and hit it past her just to let her know that she is still on the low end of the food chain when it comes to distance...lol

She had a great ball flight, I thought it was a little to high not not boring enough but that is just my perception...

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!

      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
