I picked up a new kind of minimalist carry bag the other day and decided to load it with some old clubs

I have around that I don't use any more.  Totally different putter, demo driver Just mix it up have some fun.

Ended up shooting 6 under before my only bogey on the last hole.

Not sure what that tells me, maybe just have more fun and play a little freer

Oh and the carry bag is awesome  Ping Moon-lite.

Shot a 93 today after going about a month without playing well.  Went back to the basics to find my swing.  Bunkers were terrible, played like cement so could have been lower.  Couple of blowup holes.  Birdied a nice par 4 while hitting my driver well all day

Almost broke 80 for the first time in my life, but ended up getting an 80 because of a little five footer over thought. But I was killing the ball and  putting extremely well (except on the last putt of the day). Hopefully I'll get it next time.

Played a course in the area for the 1st time today.  After the 5th hole it poured down rain the rest of the day.  Not a dry spot on my anywhere.

6566 yards, par 72, rating 71.6 slope 135.  Shot a 79.

I can't wait to go back and play it when the course isn't soupy and I'm not drenched like a drowned rat.

PS.  We didn't have to worry about slow play today...hardly anyone on the course.

The most difficult distance in golf is the six inches between your ears.

I shot a 82 at Bellevue Muni,just east of Seattle. The last year and a half I float with 70's, but have only broke it once. I find my self with a hole or two or three that I have a brain fart. I am really not that anxious to break 80 really!, i really like where my game Is.

53/46  on 70.8/122  was trying out different swing. Not good score but pleased with ball striking. Hit 16 fairways, no G.I.R, but good short game. Blew up 2 holes. Also I walked the course (pull cart), temps were high 97 F. Good thing my bag has an insulated pocket for water bottle and it worked very well.

Played in a 4 man best ball outing yesterday and got 5th place.  43 on the front 35 on the back.  Just could not get anything going on the front nine. Pared hole 1 but it was all down hill from there.

Shot Dual 45's for a 90 today at Raccoon Int GC, The course was Drowned. The sand traps were all full of water, two fairways barely playable..all in all no complaints play was 3hrs...which was very good for Sunday.

99. Just dreadful. I mean, it was rainy and soggy, but that's no excuse. Couldn't hit anything. If it wasn't for my short game I could have easily shot 110+...

Finally broke 80 with flying colors. 76 par 72 Slope 123 and short only 6200 yards links style.. 1 birdie putt that completely circled the hole and popped back out. Simple putting kept me from shooting a close to par round.

Posted

I know its not great, but shot my lowest score ever yesterday, 49/57 for a 106 (I'm usually around 113-117).  Second shot on the first hole stuck it 6 feet from the pin, of course I went on to two putt.

    • I enjoyed the distance wedges episode. It's something that I've not really taken the time to figure out for sure, but I went to a local trackman place over the winter and tested my four wedges (PW, AW, 54, 58) and got four yardages with each one. I am using Dan Grieve's method - you have a 1, 2, 3, and "full". The number references the number of clubhead widths between your heels.  I never really got to grips with the clock method - I'd find my 9:00 one day would go 40 yards and the next day 60 yards purely based on how fast I happened to swing it, but I couldn't turn that off and I was basically at sea with the speed method (Wesley Bryan does this - he takes almost a full swing for a 15 yard chip). The Grieve method I set my stance width and that really limits how much my swing moves back and forth and the speed seems to be naturally more consistent.  Anyway, I wound up with four yardages for each club - PW 48, 80, 112, 127; AW 41, 73, 101, 112; 54 36, 57, 91, 98; 58 28, 47, 81, 86 So, in order, I have 28, 36, 41, 47, 48, 57, 73, 80, 81, 86, 91, 98, 101, 112, 112, 127 which gives me a pretty good set of numbers. I do have a big gap from 57 to 73, but I can do a 2.5 58, which is giving me about 64. Then as they noted you can give it a bit more, or grip down on a club too to adjust a little bit. It's really useful and very freeing to just know what to do. When you have a 54 yard pitch, rather than pulling my 58 and thinking how hard is 54, I can just take my 54, do a "2" swing and just grip down a little and I'm in decent shape.  Incidentally, Erik talked a bit about watching Scheffler picking off his yardages to within a yard. I've watched DJ do that too with his wedges. Scottie does it trying to hit it all the way up to like 200 exactly with a 6-iron and he's hitting it 200.5, 199.7, etc. Absolutely mind blowing how good his distance control is. Insane.
