Hey all.
I just came back from winning my first ever golf competition. I won by one stroke. It feels so good, and I hope my handicap should get cut a bit now. I play 6 under my handicap.
Can any of you guys remember your first competition wins and how you felt?

Congrats on the win. It always feels good to get a "W" in individual stroke play.

Haha, yeah I remember my first tournament win. I was playing on the Chrysler Vince Gill Junior Tour and the event was at Beaver Brook Country Club here in Knoxville, TN. I woke up feeling like complete crap and my shoulder was hurting so bad I nearly WD because of the pain. Luckily I didn't because I went on to my first sub par round on 18 and first victory with a 67.

Nice one. How do you think you would have played if your shoulder wasn't as bad.

Sorry if this sounds a bit noob-ish or whatever, but I've never heard that word before, so what does it mean?

Sandbagging is playing bad in the regular season on purpose to lift your average/handicap then come tornament time you golf for real.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By saevel25 · Posted

      JPX ONE Driver - Mizuno Golf Official Website Discover the JPX ONE Driver - /jpxone/jpxone-driver-hero-mobile.webp /jpxone/jpxone-logo-white-lg.svg The World’s first NANOALLOY™ DRIVER... Mizuno is introducing new technology with their JPX One fairway woods and drivers. The new tech for golf but used tech for Mizuno since it is found in their baseball side of the business, is Nanoalloy. Nanoalloy is a microscopic polymer layer put on the face of their titanium driver. What this layer does is change the elasticity of the driver face and increases ball speed over a larger area of the clubface. Adding a bit more elasticity with this layer, they are conserving the golf balls energy from the impact.  Due to USGA rules, this technology falls under their coating regulations. Which add a correction factor to the ball speed testing done for conforming golf clubs. This rule was introduced when Taylormade went to their carbon clubface. Which I didn't know existed.  I am sure that center strikes are at the USGA limits like all other drivers. This has my interest. I am always, "window shopping", for new golf equipment 😉
