I wound up smoking my irons today. Great ball flight, tons of spin and my yardages were on the money. This is 3 shots on a 170 yard par 3 with my 7 iron Note the ball marks. There's not one on the closest one because its plugged in the green.

It's an awesome feeling when your irons are spinning! A lot of factors go into it

Nice! You fixed your pitch marks, right?

About that.... I played through 13 holes at +14, quit, got hydrated and fed, then started back on the front. :s

Oh my god man...you mean to say you stopped to eat lunch and then had the temerity to just expect to play on and finish your round? Have some consideration for the easily outraged on this forum! You will spark another 100 page ragefest!!! :) Regards Mailman

Not exactly lol. I teed off at about 4 for my "round" and i was on 13 at about 6:00when i headed in. The assistant pro told me i could start back on the front since it was clear. I pretended like i didnt even play yet. Got the cart in just in time at about 8:45.

    • Day 14: 2026.01.16 Some swings late in the day to confine trying to embed the hip rotation I'm working on. 
    • I don't know what to tell you. You can't test wedges with range balls, and you have a LOT more info to gather before you can begin to really even test anything else, either.
    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.
