18th.

Slice into trees on right 100 yards short of where the pros hit it.

Try to hit a low 5 iron out of the trees to a spot 120 yards short of the green.

Hit it OK but it hits a pine cone and shoots back into the trees.

Hit a good one but I'm 40 yards short of the bunker on the right.

This pitch shot looks perfect - I'll have a tap in.

Unfortunately, what I thought was a great shot has hit a slope and I'm in a collection area 20 yards off the green.

Good chip, but I've got a nasty sidehill putt. Looks good, but gravity takes over and I have a six footer coming back.

It misses and I tap in for an 8.

Amazing, because I thought I'd have a 7 or 8 iron for my second, but on being there in reality, I realise that there's no way I'd ever hit it in two even with a hybrid.

ild be playing the 1st as a 3 shooter too,diver hopefully about 220 and straight;-) followed by a 9 iron,to hopefully leave me a nice full swing with the gap wedge.and 2 putt for a 5,to walk off with a bogy.at least thats how it would go in my head. more likely to miss the fairway,find a bunker with my layup,scramble  onto the green in 5.then 2 putt to within 2 feet,to miss the tap in and walk off with a 8:-D

I would love to be so consistent with my results that I could preplan a round. I'm not. I would wait till the ball stopped rolling on my first drive and figure out what to do next from there.

Hole two would be driver hybrid and then something from 150 in ideally for me.  Gotta drive it in play.

I have eagled a par five at 530,  but it was late summer down wind with firm fairways straight hole.  I would not reach hole 2 at Augusta and would consider anything from 160 in on my third as my goal.

Really? I'd hit driver on every hole (outside of the Par 3's) and figure it out from there.

From the tips, I might need to use D on par 3's too. :8)

Hole 3 is only 350.  Prominent fw bunkers on left.  I don't know how far they are off the tee.  I'd probably look to hit hybrid to 150 and rely on my ironplay.

    • Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°. 
    • 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.
