Hey Guys,

I have been a long time viewer of the forum so I figured I might as finally join.

I am out of Orange County and have been golfing since June 2011.  Pretty much got hooked after going back then and now I play 1-2 times a week and hit the range 2-3 times a week.  Current HC is a 10.7.

I have played Taylormade clubs since I started but last week decided to switch my burner irons out with some Titleist AP2's.

Current bag:

Taylormade Burner 2.0.  Motore F1 85 gram shaft cut to 44-inch.

Burner 2.0 3 wood and hybrid.

Titleist 710 AP2's with KBS tour shaft cut 1/4 inch and Winn lite grips.  3 degrees flat.

Taylormade xft wedges 50, 54 and 60 degree

Taylormade DA-12 Tour putter

Sky Caddie SGX.  Best purchase i made and really helps with course management and track my HC.

I am actually going to go purchase the new 913 driver and 3 wood later this week so my bag will be updated.

I play San Joaquin golf course a bit if anyone is every around let me know.

Happy to join !

    • He’s got to be the best player that’s never won a PGA-tournament these days.
    • Day 3 (August 13).  4' putting drill;  this is a modified version of the drill from LSW for short putting.   For context, in 2025, my strokes lost putting is more than 2 per round compared to the 15 handicap baseline, just on putts under 10'.  So that's a glaring weakness I think.  Anyway, so I set up 12 markers around a hole like a clockface, all coins, all face up.  I putt from each in turn, if I make it, I flip a heads over (or pick up if it's tails).  This means I have to make 24 putts eventually, ideally quickly.  It took me 38 attempts to do this, although 9 of the 12 coins were picked up either in the first or second go around.   Anyway, the baseline for a "90-golfer" (per Broadie description) is 37 attempts, so that's pretty good, but I'll keep trying to improve.  For anyone thinking about this, the number would be 30 for an average scratch player.   This was done on a real green at a nearby course's practice area. 
    • Day 18: a little under the weather, so just some mirror work while watching TV. 
    • That's not the right way to look at it, because you're not going to have a rating of 55 or something for even a 6500-yard par 72. There's a minimum rating (depending on the length), and then +s and -s to that. If a course has a bunch of +s and -s that even out, that doesn't mean the course rating is 100% the length. And what kind of math would it be if the course rating was lower than the formula: 103% length? 🙂 
    • Day 316 - 2025-08-13 Mental rehearsals today for about 15 minutes as I'm kinda screwed up in some way. 😞
