Happy Birthday, V!!! ( @GolfLug ) Lemme guess, more winter golf for you today?

Also, happy b'day to @golferbabu, @bogiegolfer@Jotay1944 (74th!)

 

Thank you @RandallT!

Oh, I wish there was golf today. Instead slugging it out on the work desk. Not sure who invented this concept - 'work' but they must not like people.:-D

Hopefully will get some in on Saturday though!

Happy B-Day @Fairway_CY

Your right in the range to shoot your age (39) for nine holes. :beer:

Thank you, sir!  I hope to do that a few times this season, at least!  I believe I had a 38 for nine holes once last season.

Thank you as well, sir!  

I did do some putting drills in my house after work that day (focused solely on putter path and starting the ball on my line).  Seemed to pay off a bit on the course this morning.  Still... temporarily patch one thing and another falls apart on me.  Back at it tomorrow on the range and short-game areas!

    • I'll be honest, the only reason the 2 iron was in my bag is because I tend to hit the ball into the tree's fairly often. And I was using it to help me keep the ball very low to get out of the tree's while avoiding getting much loft to hit branches. I guess I can drop the 3H as well. Would it be wise to give a higher loft fairway wood a try as well, something like a 26 degree? I believe there is only one golf shop where I live that has a golf simulator and trainer. I see they offer free fitting with a purchase from the fitter. I'll have to check how much they charge without a purchase, I've read a few stories about fitters on this forum that just wanted to sell the person the most expensive clubs and that kind of deters me a bit. They do offer lessons as well. I'll give them a call and ask them a bit more about these services. Thank you!
    • Here is a description of all the programs:  Programs & Training Programs and Training TheStack is a personal swing-speed trainer for golfers. Initially, each golfer is piloted through a series of swing speed tests to generate a force-velocity profile of their current swing. Qualitative data is... I think cruiser is meant for maintaining speed and flex can do more than that. But I'm just basing that on the descriptions that I linked.  
    • Both @DaveP043 and I play in our interclub matches every year, and have been team Captains as well.  There are always a few courses, mine is one, that win a lot of matches (we've won twice in the last 7 years), and we've been labeled as sandbaggers.  However, I really think that our course was rated too low (our greens just never seemed to get factored in enough), and thus our Handicaps were always a stroke or maybe 2 above, what they would've been if the course was rated higher.  And then when we went and played other courses, their slope and rating were much higher than ours, and sometimes I would get a 2 or 3 stroke bump on top of that.  It was definitely an advantage.  However, this past year, our course was rated again and the slope has gone up, so we'll see if we continue to have the same benefit.  Season starts this Sunday for us.

    • I would not do anything until I met with an instructor and got your swing looked at. There are some obvious better club options out there though. Spend 50 bucks on a lesson, practice and start piecing together a bag that works for you. Enjoy the journey.
