First 9 of the year. Terrible. Shot a 54 lol

Started off with a bogey on a straight forward par 4, and followed that up by sinking to straight tee shots in the water and carding a 9 on a par 3. I three putted probably 5 of the holes.

On the bright side, every shot inside of 155 yards was right on target. Nailed a 155 7 iron to within 20 ft, and 3 putted...woof. Just couldn't hit good tee shots or putt...:(

This is what happens when you don't touch a club in 8 months...

That's better than my first 9 hole round this year I think. It should come back fairly quickly if you hit the range and review the drills Erik gave you last year. I didn't do that and it really is biting me in the ass, have to start all over on my swing again.

Well, what's funny is...last year, I spent all season working on ball striking with my irons and wedges, and sure enough...that's the part that stuck. My ball striking was above average for me.

Chipping and pitching was decent...but putting and driving killed me.

Hey! Did you finally move into my area?

What course did you play? We will definitely have to hook up for a round sometime soon. Unfortunately, it may be a week or two until I'm able to get back out with being on standby (baby watch 2014) for the time being.

I went out to Skyland on Sunday and did really well. I've yet to play Royal Crest this year though.

Keep practicing and it'll all come back. My first few rounds this year were horrible!

Royal Crest haha.

And yes, I'm in Medina near Rt. 18 and 71. Not far from Fox Meadows now. We definitely gotta get out...I'm in Chicago this week, but I brought my clubs, so I'm gonna try to hit up a course here.

I played Fox only once this year so far and had a rough time. It was my second 9 of the year and I think I shot a 45. A buddy of mine lives on the course, but the guy literally works 24/7-365, so I really only get to go out there maybe 2-3 times a year.

If you haven't played Skyland (http://www.skylandgolfcourse.com/), check that course out. It's pretty wide open and straight forward, but the greens are usually fast and very nice. There's a few eye-catching holes too, like a Par 3 on the back 9 where you're hitting over a giant 30 foot wide by 30 foot deep rocky ravine.

Another cool course that is about 8 minutes away from us is Ridgetop (http://www.ridgetopgolfcourse.net/).

Sounds good also. Just shoot me a PM or text any time you want to get out on a weekend. I may have lost your number, so just PM me when you're back in town.

    • Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.  
    • I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.
    • Day 547, May 2, 2024 18 holes with @DrizZzY using my TruStick®. Hit a LOT of really good shots today.
    • Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
