After laying up I was about 76 yard to the pin, 40 of it over water except for a small weeping willow in front of me about 20 yards. Took out the gap wedge, hit it over the tree, carried the water and it rolled up to within 5 ft of the cup. Sunk the put for par on a hole that I usually TRIPLE bogey.

last time out was a horror show, the 2 guys I was playing with had to quit after 9 and go to work. I played the last 9 hitting just irons: 3 iron off tee usually, it's a good thing to try for practice.

I managed to screw the nut and put my sensible head on while on the tee of a rather tricky par 4 at my home course on Sat. I played a sensible 4 iron into the left side of the fairway and proceeded to cream a 5 iron to about 10 feet. Easily the best iron I've struck in weeks.

I then walked onto the next tee, a tricky down hill longish par 3, and sclaffed the same 5 iron into the trees!!

Sometime I wonder why I bother.

Short Par 3 that plays about 125 yards.

Have to carry the water 110 yards, and then 2 big sand traps to the right. Flag was playing middle left. Ball hit 4 feet past the hole 1 hopped and settled for a 6 foot birdie putt. Of course I missed the putt, but the shot off the tee felt great

last saturday, on the 9th hole, 342 yds par 4 and there was a creek at about 220 yds from the tee box.
i hit my driver over the creek, the ball hit the car path which was about 40 yds away from the creek, took a huge bounce and rolled onto the green.
of course, i blew my eagle chance and 2 putted.
but a birdie is fine with me.

Today on a 348 yard par 4. Hit 5 iron off the tee to the fairway, leaving 170 to back pin placement. Took out my 6 iron and hit one of my sweetest shots ever. Had a baby draw on it, high ball flight and ball ends up 8 feet from the cup. Finally, I sunk the birdie putt and got some nice accolades from my playing partners. Was a nice conversation piece during the post-round meal :)

Went to a local beautiful scenery but rough track and drove the first par 4 green. Beautiful shot. It is a raised tee probably 75 yards, 260 to the flag on the gps and the shot dropped nicely flag high on the right fringe...

4th hole is a 172 yard par 3, slightly down hill. Hit a 6I that hit the green 4 feet from the hole and bounced once to 2 feet, then made the putt for a birdie on the 3rd handicap hole. That gives me a net 0 on the scorecard... My ballstriking, especially from the tee with my irons, has really been improving. I think the downhill gave me one extra club on this, but that's 20-30 yards farther than I'd have hit my 6I at the start of the season. The trajectory could not have been more perfect either, climbing to a high apex with a small fade.... w00t.

Today on hole #1, hit my tee shot into the fairway bunker. Had 140 to green, hit my 8 iron perfectly and got a GIR, 2-putt for par.

Hardest hole on the course at 460 yards, 180 yard six iron to within 6 feet to set up my second birdie all time on this hole and secure 4th place in the tournament.

Got the ball on the fairway...yes, I don't ask for much, just to have the ball in play.

Same goes for me too! Although, I did drop one in from about 10 yards away while practicing on the chipping green last night. As a new golfer 3 weeks into the game and 2 sessions with my instructor, that got me pretty excited!


last day of the tournament, last group of players.... faced a Par 3 150 yds.

I took out the 6 iron-- and my friend said-- Try the 5 iron and swing 3/4.... so i did it and got it perfect. 7 feet from the hole. The closest to the pin was 5 feet... was damn close to winning that...

My birdie put was lined up perfect--- was just alittle too much juice-- it popped out of the hole..... then 2 more putts to sink it But was was favorite shot of the week!!!


Par 5, 470 yard dogleg left. Hit a great tee shot, low and drawing with the curve of the dogleg - left me 122 to the front-placed pin. (How I only got par out of that explains my handicap to a T).

This is obviously the best outcome more than anything, but during my Sunday game, I had a playing partner skim a 5 iron across the water three times, hit a rock, bounce 30 feet in the air, and land five feet from the cup...

He went from misery to celebration in 4 seconds hahaha

440 yard 18th hole, hit front of green with 180 yard 6 iron from the deep left rough with branch in my follow through.
But then took 2 putts to get up to the back of the green and another two to make double bogey.

    • Day 133: did a stack session. 
    • You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.
    • Day 58 - 2024-11-27 Some quick 90-yard shots on a particular hole… before a lesson and testing out multiple Foresight Launch Monitors on GSPro.
    • Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies. 
    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
