ok, I will keep this short and not do an exact play by play

1-par, lipped out birdie
2-hit the green 8 ft from pin. Green is burnt and rolls like hardwood. Hit the putt, hit a small pebble and rolled off the green....bogey
3-BOMBED a drive, 20ft to hole approach and par
4-another bombed drive, chipped 3 ft from pin - birdie
5-183 yd par 3, 7i to 15ft, ball sat on the lip..PAR
6-almost on in 2, chipped to 2ft and birdie
7-short par 4, left birdie on the lip
8-hooked an 8i left of the green pin high......chipped to 10ft and bogied
9-perfect driver split the fairway.....ok even after 8....thin approach over the green and DOUBLED!! arrgghhh.....

par 36, i shot 38 on the fornt nine

i cant close, i just cant
if i was making the turn and doing 18 i would have finished even or -1

thats ok though
i have had 5 birdies in the past 1.5 rounds - its coming along

honestly - i hate my new VR wedgies
i wish i had my Callaway X-Tour's still - night and day compared, they just fit me better
zero confidence in the VR wedges
Golf Town tomorrow s they are on sale cheap

all i can say...ok 38 wasnt great, but its coming.......its coming........

"My swing is homemade - but I have perfect flaws!" - Me

picked up some Callaway X-Tour Vintage Forged wedges today (same as I had last year) 52 & 56º
these are the best wedges I have ever used w some of the best spin

the VR's will be out of the bag next week and for sale CHEAP!!!!!

on another note - I have an "official" hcp as of today
got my RCGA card registered and posted my last 6 scores from 09 and my 3 from 2010 - it's a 3.1
I dont have 20 in yet, so it may not be spot on, but i least i have one now to start entering tournaments

I debated entering 2009 scores - didn't do it.

I hear you on the wedges - wanted to love my new lob wedge so badly - bought a groove sharpener and put the MPs back into service. I've heard that since Roger Cleveland went to Callaway (years ago) their wedges have been awesome.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.


Seems like putting is the only thing holding you back.

Good luck!

exactly......its coming though!! haha!

and to be honest (not to make excuses) but the greens are not rolling true yet they still have to grow back and they need to start cutting them once this happens, i imagine i will start to putt better

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
