i have about 30 in my bag... i haven't bought a single ball all season though hop off a mower while working and take a quick look in the woods or along the ponds heh.

I've been practicing a little bit wtith my 60*. it has a pretty high bounce so i've only been practicing with it in longer rough from about 40-50yds from the pin. i miss the green frequently with my irons so i'll be using a lot

curious to this set up... do you find that you pull a few balls often? i seem to do so.

change of SW/LW position as of yesterday: just off the left heel (i'm a righty). flop shots FTW! i think i may hit the range a little later when it cools off.

that's embarassing lol sorry to hear about that nut.

agreed with the mats. i hate em. if i do end up at a range with mats and no grass tees, i'll just go off to the side and hit out of the rough with my irons. then just implant a tee of mine into the mat for my driver.

driver: play the ball at my left big toe hybrid 3-4i: ball 2-3" behind my left big toe 5-PW,SW,LW: between the ears. 5 in front of my left ear, 6 in front of my left eye, 7 in front of my nose, 8-9 in front of right eye, PW/SW/LW in front of my right ear. works well right now.

3: PW (nike nds), 55* sand wedge (adams assault), 60* lob wedge (acuity trutech). all together they cost me $19.99 lol

aim a tad to the left (if you're a righty), move the ball up a little in your stance... move further away from the ball. see what works best for you. anybody else, correct me if i'm wrong.

heck yes it counts! nice job!

true. but i adjusted my ball positioning accordingly with all of my irons, and pausing just a tad between my backswing and downswing to let my hips fire helped a lot. just sucked judging distance because of the nasty headwind. but a GREAT day at the range nonetheless

confidence level with my short irons is currently SKY ROCKETING after hitting the range today. WOWWWW

I don't know what's going on lately, but I can't hit ANY short iron (8-PW) shots! I catch them all too fat or they just hit off the toe and to the right. Not sure if it's ball positioning in my stance or what. But idk what to do to try and resolve this.

I'm in on this. For sure. A couple days ago a group cut in front of us because there was a little bit of space.. and proceeded to slow us up on EVERY following shot. At one point, all four of us had our shots in different areas of the hole and we were all standing at our balls for about 5-10 minutes waiting for these jokers to get off the green so we could hit our second shots. Point taken... unlike us, these guys would drive to one ball, hit it, go to the other and duff it and circle back and forth to another ball.. ridiculous.

playing an already terrible terrible round, i hooked a tee shot on a par4 about 240yds with about 197 to go or so. had a slight wind at my back and a 45ft high maple in my way of the green. i said, screw it my round is already gone so i'll take the risk (still confident i could pull it off though). caught it beautifully with my 5iron and put it right over the maple and about 8ft away from the pin. ...my high went away when i 2 putted lol.

approx. 340 yards. calm crosswind when i tee'd off. slightly downhill. not sure about the carry b/c i lost view of it and almost fainted when i saw that it landed next to the 150yd stick lol. par5 490yds.

it's not the shaft, it was the wind that caused it to balloon up so quickly. its happened on several occasions at the range and whatnot

*see thread title* been playing since the beginning of last summer. so just over a year.

Ironically, I had an 8iron shot into the wind earlier today that ballooned up in the air. It was from about 140yds away (2 clubs up from normal b/c of wind). Caught it very well and was very accurate, but as it the ball rose in the air, the wind caught it and just shot it higher, it was very noticable.

i've never hit one that far... i've hit multiple ones that roll to 300-310. i usually average around 270-280 though.

i had a drive earlier today on a par 5 and stop at the 150yd mark, the hole was 490 from the tees we played at. 490-150 = 340. not sure what it carried though.

I've golfed a lot this past week and decided to take tomorrow off and rest and whatnot (since i'm not working as well). I'm thinking off hitting the range 4 days this coming week and each day hitting 2-3 clubs each day: 3iron thru my wedges. not having many problems with the driver so i'll let it be for now. my iron shots have been great lately, but just inconsistent so i wanna work on solid contact each shot. should this help?

disgusting 101 today highlight of the round: i bombed a 340yd drive on a 490yd par 5 right down the gut. but that high ended when i duffed my 8iron shot into the woods instead of OVER the trees. i proceeded to punch out with a blade 3iron which has NEVER failed me, and decided to disappoint this time. R.I.P blade 3iron sorry I forced you to make love to that tree. I ended up shooting a 10 on that hole

i'm not alone! lol

Yupp. I clean off my clubs after every shot.
