I've been Playing Golf for: 20 years with a break 5 years. Playing again 2,5 years My current handicap index or average score is: 5.8 My typical ball flight is: draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: snap hook / block push Videos:

Game is finally coming together. Shot level par 70 today. Had 2 3 putts but also 2 insane up and downs. I've done this before but never in a strokeplay tournament. Result my hdc went down from a 7.9 to 5.8. After my iron change (play mizuno pro 223,s now) i was breeding on a low round never thought it would be a 70 tho. And i was so close to a 69 just horse shoed my birdie putt on 18.

My dreambag completed again.... Just got these irons. My bag is now. Callaway Rogue ST Max LS Callaway Rogue ST Max 3wood Mizuno pro FliHi 3 iron Mizuno pro 225 4 and 5 iron Mizuno Pro 223 6 / gw Vokey SM9 black 55 and 60 degrees M grind 08 bounce Ping Anser 2D putter

Pro VI X for a long time already

Not my best round i played, but scrambled really well, at the 186 yard par 3 6th i duffed my teeshot ball ended up 72 yards in thick grass, pin was on the left front of the green guarded by a deep bunker. Took my lobwedge and opened up the face slightly and than made a 3/4 swing on it, ball came out great landed 3 feet in front of the flag hit it after that and ended just inches away from the cup.

I am starting to understand the game and my better and better. Because of my divorce and kids I have less time to practice but I am practicing better. Also I understand now that blades and I are not the best match, sure the feel of them are great, but I am penalizing myself using them, I struggle to find the sweet spot all the time and therefore last year I started playing more forgiving clubs still forged but more forgiving. My latest change just recently was the switch from a 3 iron to the Callaway Apex UW (21 deg loft ) Also I am starting to feel more and more that I play the game for fun, and sure I want to play well and to the best of my abilities but I don't that angry with myself that I can blow up a few holes. I picked up the game last year after 3 years off. In my best days I was a hdc 7. I started again at 12, finished last year on 9,8 and my current is 8,1.

Yeah they have a give away of some loadmouth pants, so prob sponsored a little

So here in the Netherlands we have the NGF ( netherlands golf federation ) the post on youtube and have the app golf.nl. On youtube they go round the country and play golfcourses and give feedback on them. Last post was my homecourse. Look at it here.

So after yesterdays round again an 80. With even worse golf on some holes i had 4 double bogeys. Basically 3 off them came from unplayable lies after a not great tee shot. Had to take a drop on all 3 off them. Other one was a bad swing (shank) that went ob. Due to the new hdc system tho i still lowered my hdc from 8.4 to 8.1. I get 10 shots on my current hdc so i played a netto 70

So i am a few months in now, i am progressing slowly on my set goal 6.5hdc. I had 10 q cards so far in our mens competition. Currently still struggling to get a decent round together, i get the 2 blowup holes every round, where i leave 3-4 shots out there, making doubles or triple’s on those holes. Bringing scores in high 70 low 80. Hdc dropped from 9.2 to 8.4 this far. Played a practice round on monday it was a 78 with a double on 10 after a snap hook lost ball off the tee. Was a bit unlucky at times as well, the worst luck i had was on our last hole a par 3 191 yards into a light breeze wind, where i hit a perfect 5 iron it hit the flag hard and bounced off the green to the left in a horrible place making a bogey there. I didn’t expect the hole in one but i am sure i would have had a birdie putt or at least a par

I don't think the club heads are the problem, the shafts I should worry about. But well I wasn't playing 30 years ago. Started playing with a Spalding beginner set for 3 years than got Mizuno blades and used to have a 1 and 2 iron in stead of driver and 3 wood. So much have changed over the 20 years I have been playing. I never left the Mizuno irons, working on my 5th set I think but I kinda got away from the real blades, and game the JPX 921 Forged now, and 4 iron is the longest iron in the bag. Basically because I am not playing or practicing that often, and my bad strikes have much better results. Basically I recommend you look in that iron category, you can get good deals on a couple year old sets. My Irons are still forged so do have the soft feel and workability like a true blade, but gives the help when your just of center, I tend to get a little thin or from the toe, the drop-off is just less on those shots

Do any of you guys play a Callaway apex UW? I am thinking of buying a 21 degree as on simulator it gave me great numbers and distance dispersion. it should replace my 3 hybrid 19 deg loft. On trackman I get a higher flight and straighter. Any info on them would be great, the shop doesn't allow me to test on course....

These days there is a lot in between shovels and blades. I game the Mizuno JPX 921 Forged Irons and I think they are great, on my off center strikes mainly I get less distance loss and basically the ball goes straighter as well, and I'm still using a forged iron so I still have great feel and workability.

I shot a 79 yesterday in mens competition. I didn't even play well. started off with a topped teeshot just over the red tees in heavy thick rough, could only get a sand wedge out what left me with 200 yards to the flag, hit a great 4 iron and 2 putted for a great bogey, than made bogey on my second hole what actually is the ninth hole (shotgun start) par 3 170 yards back wind hit 7 iron and flew over the green chip 2 putted, than doubled the 10 after a snap hook lost ball, after that I settled making a great string off pars missing a few good birdie opportunities. ( 11,12,13,14,15 bogey 16 par 17 and 18) than tripled the first and pars on 2,3,4,5,6 ended with a bogey on 7 after again a horrible teeshot. best birdie chance was on 12 most difficult hole on the course, 440 yard uphill drive to a narrow fairway, second goes downhill with water front right managed to het a perfect 7iron to about 6-7 feet birdie put lipped out after a strange bump just before the hole.

I play the PRO V1 when i am out i will switch to an x version

Season is just starting here in The Netherlands i’ve been playing some good rounds lately, so i have high goals set for this year. Some background info. i am playing of 9.2 now, i was 6.9 when i had a break from golf first 2 years i hardly played and than 3 years of nothing at all. Started playing again mid last year took a few lessons and just started playing mens competition on Wednesday. Hdc went to 12 in the forst few matches, bought some more forgiving clubs and started playing better, resulted near the end in a couple good mid 70 rounds. During the winter time i kept practicing, short game is getting sharper now so my goal will be reaching my lowest ever hdc, 6.5.

I hardly hit full wedges myself but it is good to know where your max distance is and take off length as you adjust…

Hi all, i just had a session on a trackman. basically i did it because i wanted to have a distance chart this is what i came up with. Do you all use this as well? this is a 15 shot average.
