Well, this looks like a very nice forum.

Glad to be here. My name is Bryan and I am the owner/creator/designer of Major Championships (see signature). Its not live yet, but it will be in a couple weeks tops.

Anyways, I stumbled across the Sand Trap looking for some other golf blogs/sites.

I immediately became a fan. My site won't have a forum like this :), but its nice to have one to come to.

The golf bug has really been itching my ass this winter and now I am craving it.

Anyways, a little about me.

I am currently about a 3 handicap but thats a little awkward because I didn't get to play many tournaments last year (due to a full time job and getting married) so my handicap didn't really get updated.

Anyways, played all 4 years in high school, helped my team with 2 state championships (1998 - 1999), received a partial scholarship to play at the University of Evansville for 4 years and had a career scoring average of about 77.5. That was in 2003.

Anyways, thats a little bg info on me.

Glad to be here.

Aw geez, I'm gonna get burned on this one, but my fav is still Tiger Woods.

However, I am a big Fred Couples fan and I like Phil Mickelson alot too.

Hey Grip,

thanks . Central Indiana has some wonderful golf courses.

I belong to Harbour Tree's (home of the 2005 IGA Match play Championships this year), but I am going to play in this years Indiana State Amateur Tournament which is held at Otter Creek.

I to, have never played The Brickyard.

Have you heard of The Bridgewater? Pretty new course, I played it when it first opened, but its going to be highly private. Hell, they just made the driving range section private and that was the part I was looking forward to using during this winter. Technically, I don't have many places to hit balls here in Central Indiana.

Our State Championships, when I was in HS, was held at Prestwick GC in Avon, IN. Now the state championship is held at the Legends.

    • Day 85 - 2026-03-17 30 minutes of putting work, 15 chipping. Getting reacquainted with the Scottsdale green and greenside terrain. Really freaking hot here.
    • Day 9 (17 Mar 26) - Worked with alignment today to work on getting properly lined up with target point using alignment rods.  Worked on getting takeaway parallel to alignment line.  Solid session. 
    • Day 212 3-17 Flow work and arching. Hit some foam balls. Recorded 
    • 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  
    • 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
