First one. If it’s not some bs “mistake” like I should have made that 12’ putt for birdie and actually correctable then it’s a learning experience and it means I’m good enough to win. I don’t play the club championships at my county courses because the best I can hope for is the second option and I kind of don’t see the point in that.

Played Green Knoll today, made three birdies. #10, #14, and #16 knocked off the away composite.

Knocked off the first birdie of the year on #15 at Quail Brook GC, what I’m calling my home course again. Good drive followed by a perfect 3W. Didn’t think I could reach the green in two and almost did. Chipped to 5’ and made the putt. Didn’t birdie that one all year in 2024 and figures it’s the first one I get in 2025.

I played today, it felt like 14° with wind chill. There was definitely a point or two in the round when I questioned my decision-making skills.
-
The club I choose entirely depends on the situation and what kind of shot I want to hit. I’ll hit 9i from 50 yards if that low runner is what I’m looking for, for example.

Yup, sorry, not my rules, but rules are rules.

Ouch, @ChetlovesMer is catching strays over here 😜

I thought I had this today. I hit a good drive right down the middle on #12 and a 3/4 SW to 20’ and made the birdie. On #15 I hit a good drive and cut the dogleg, pitched it to 6’ but I lipped that one out.
-
I thought I had already knocked #1 off the composite list so I didn’t bother posting about it, but apparently I didn’t. I birdied #1 at Spooky Brook on 10/6. It’s a short par 5; I flared my drive a little right but far enough to get under the trees that would normally block an approach from that angle. I hit PW to 20’ but missed the eagle putt. Front 9 is done on the composite list. Only #12 and #15 left to go.

Shoe Recommendations
billchao replied to wetzel1592's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Yea I’m the same way. All their shoes are pretty good but I just like the OG and their derivatives so much more. I’m probably just going to stick with them from now on. -
A Decibel Meter as a Free Speed Meter?
billchao replied to p1n9183's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Ok great, now do it again. And again. And again. And then change variables. Ambient temperature, distance of the phone, surrounding environment. Do it with different people swinging the club. Did you test only your 6 iron or did you try different clubs at different speeds? You can't perform one test and declare your results conclusive. -
Can't say the same about the camera angles though 😜

You ever try walking with a 12 pack and a Bluetooth speaker?

Effect of Wet Green and Wet Ball and Wet Club Face With a Bump N Run
billchao replied to jfrain2004's topic in Golf Talk
I imagine if you got just a little bit of rain the ball was probably hydroplaning. -
It’s gatekeeping and it’s dumb. Why do they even care that people are riding?
