Played a relatively difficult course today, Peabody Meadows, in Peabody. I played it last year and it got the best of me to say the least. Not much room off the fairway, lots of blind drives, high rough, quick enough greens, just a good challenge of a course. I played the other day and couldn't hit the ball the first 5 holes and realized I wasn't turning my hips at all, and after that I played the last 13 holes at +2 so I was hoping I would have some of that mojo working with me today. Well, it did. I shot a 79 (par 71). Shot a 37 on the back where my scorecard read 5, then all 4's the rest of the way. My driver was working all day. Everything had a slight fade, 260-275 yards, good stuff. My wedges and lower irons were off a bit which was really strange because those have been great lately. I haven't calculated my GIR and FIR and putts for the round, but my putter was hot. Anything inside 10 feet I was all over. Anything long got close to where I didn't have to even think about the 2nd putt. Very happy overall with the way I played.

Two months ago I read the Stack and Tilt book and incorporated a lot of the movements into my current swing. I try to stay more centered over the ball, keep my movement back to a minimum, take the club away deep and so far it's really helped out my game. 80 last week, 79 this week, things are working well. I've been hitting the ball a lot more consistently since incorporating S&T; and I'm really hoping I can put a round together right around par sometime this year. We'll see.

    • 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.
