Best Shot: 525 yard par 5. 2nd shot was 245 playing 255. left is dead. right is dead. long is rough and downhill thick chip. I said I would be okay being a little short. I flushed a 5 wood and stuck it to 6 feet made eagle and turned at 1 under. Worst Shot: I have trouble with thin sand traps.... I tend to let the rebound of the club slam into the ball. open face... I hit from 1 bunker over the green to the other bunker.. then back over, I hit it over the fance and across the street into someone's yard.

I know a lot of people have jumped ship to KBS shafts...but I launch the ball pretty damn high as it is with my PX flighted shafts... a few shafts are bent and was looking into new shafts for this season... was wondering if anyone has hit the Pxi's yet and what they thought compared to their old shafts.

funny.. I blind tested 15 different drivers during the off season a few times...and RBZ always came in the top 5 for feel, playability, distance and control. behind the R11S and ZL Encore.... but to each his own...

what's going on everyone? Welcome to the next season. hope everyone's been good. I'll be staying in Venice Beach this Wednesday. Looking to get out on Thursday morning... what's a good course within a 45 minute driving distance that I can/should go play? Also if anyone is in the LA area, I'll be doing a Fashion event this Thursday at Sur Lounge from 8 - 11 for all my golfers that want to come out. I have a few golf reps coming to hang out too!

2 really stand out in my mind 185 par 3 over water. trees right. cart path and woods left. bunker in front and in back... so it's well protected... pin was playing back left... full 6 iron and I didn't really mean to attack the flag.. just wanted to stick the middle of the green & 2 putt. ball lipped out for a hole in 1, 6" tap in for birdie. 2nd the shot was great b/c it started out so UGLY 455 up hill dog leg left par 4 to a protected green w/ bunkers on the left..trees long and right.... tee shot didn't draw at all..went dead straight into the woods b/t the 15th & 13th hole (currently playing the 15th) 2nd shot 200 yards out: punched a 5 iron b/t the trees to within 15 yards of the green right before the bunker on the left...in the rough... 3rd shot. in some thick ass rough... opened up my 54 all the way and played what came out to be an explosion flop from that thickness rolled to 1' from the cup.. tap in for par.... with 15 and 16 being the toughest and longest par 4's on the course... that shot gave me confidence to step to 16...birdie it... roll to 17 birdie it.. and save what might have been an ugly 8 over....came in at 6 over for the day.

was pretty erratic today. out in 7 over... in at 1 under...... 6 over on the day..... I'm STRUGGLING off the tee lately

Out of 150 balls when I do a range session 50 will go towards tee shots 3 iron to the driver 60 or so will go towards scoring shots... (firing at target points or greens at the range within 20 yards - 150 yards) the rest will go to 4,5,6 iron shots. then I take it to the bunker for maybe 10 - 15 minutes to work out of there...from chipping out of the sand to fried egg to expo shots.

jesus 170 into the wind? I wish! anyway congrats...def makes it better than pops was around to see it

I'm not long at all.. off the tee or with any of my irons. 9 iron is 150 MAX but I usually use it for 140 and would rather smooth out an 8 iron for a 150 shot. off the tee my avg is 250. sure i've gotten a hold of some drives and cracked it 300+ on GPS..with wind and great roll... and there are other drives into the wind I'll smash it and it only goes 230...whatever.. I'm def not above saying that there are a TON of am golfers out there that I play with who are much longer than I am... but as said earlier... get me within 150 and a scoring club...and I'm more confident with that..... even on holes where it's 310 downhill with wind.. i'll rarely for for the green these days...b/c I feel more confident to hit a 3 iron or a choked down 5 wood and have a full wedge shot to the green... but people really need to stop lying about distances...their scoring... how they average 300 off the box...... most tour players don't average 300 off the box..even though we know they can crank it 340.

agreed....... I grip down a lot too when I'm struggling in a round to try to find it again

scratch! but it's been such an up and down season so far... I've shot 2 under...and I've shot 22 over! consistency improve the following stats: f'way, GIR, sand recovery & bounce back... true story: i only hit 51% of fairways. I only hit 60% of GIR... my sand conversion is 50%. up & down is 60% some pretty poor stats to get to scratch.

that is freakin CLASSIC! on a side note, I'm a WEAK -1.3. I can shoot par 1 day...and shoot an 83 the next day... that was my weekend of scoring 71 at my home course 133 83 at Great Gorge 134 78 at Architects 139 for 2 weeks I couldn't get rid of a snap hook off the tee to save my life! hopefully you can see him again and see how he really is

i'm down to play... I play by you every now and again... mostly down by High Bridge, Architects, Rutgers

trees don't have many leaves on them...and you're close enough that you can see the tee box on the next hole... and hear the people...

twice. last week when I got hit and on the par 3 when I was walking off the green and it almost hit me. Guys if you wanna check out the course layout, it's: Farmstead Golf & Country Club. I was on the 6th hole & he was on the 5th hole of the Lake Course. conditions that day: GORGEOUS. 55 degrees sunny with no wind. off the 5th tee box where the guy was teeing off..the sun is to your left.. it doesn't even come into play when trying to spot the ball. Like I said, sure I was heated from the previous 2 mess up holes...but at least YELL fore or apologize that you didn't and it came close to hitting me on my neck. someone has died in Jersey by getting hit in the head with the golf ball (great gorge). There have been countless times people have hit into me...my group etc or almost hit me off from their tee, but they've yelled fore...and it's a mistake... I spray the ball left and right a few times a round and I'll scream fore as a courtesy.

I'll be back at the course in 2 weeks. I'll take a picture. the 14th is a dog leg right par 4.. the leg is about 200 out then a 90 degree right turn.... a ton of people (myself included) will cut the corner of the leg to be within a mid iron to the green for your 2nd shot. it's around a 220 drive to the green where he hit me. So yes, I'm assuming he was a beginner... and I do realize that I was a beginner too.. but regardless, I always yell fore when it's a questionable shot. and even though I was frustrated and I do have a temper when I'm annoyed, I've reacted the same exact way or even worse.... when I shot 2 under on the day..the person behind me on a par 3 14th hit into me as I was walking off the green.... I almost walked into the ball. (landed 3 or 4' in front of me). and I was 1 under at that point and I did yell wtf and threw his ball ob too. Sorry, I just don't think there's any excuse to not yell fore...and there isn't an excuse to just say SORRY. I would've said ok, alright had he apologized.

there are weeks where I go with the same ball..then there are days where I'll lose 3 or 4 of them. It really depends on the course... most of my lost balls come off of an errant drive, or me being stupid, 250 to the center of the green on a par 5 and I'll try to 3 jack it there and I end up spraying it into the water.

So I'm on the putting green. It's the 15th hole, and I'm putting for par (215 par 3. 3 iron to the right side fringe. chipped it to 4 feet.) and I had 2 blowup holes in a row (went double bogey, bogey). Instead of being 2 over for the day, I'm 5 over. HEATED from not capitalizing on the previous 2 holes (both par 5's, misclubbed on my 2nd shot causing me to hit into the water). I'm crouched over reading the putt to hopefully save par, and I hear the driver crack from the 14th hole... out of nowhere BOOM a ball comes flying into my upper back missing my neck by about 6". I stand up and scream out: "WHAT THE F***" yell fore. They guy screams back, "I didn't yell fore b/c I didn't know where the ball was." He didn't apologize, didn't say sh**...not an i'm sorry, not a you were right... just gave an excuse that was TERRIBLE as to why he didn't scream fore. So I said: "really a**hole? You could've killed me and you're giving excuses to why you didn't scream fore? If you don't see where your ball is, yell fore." He then says when "you don't have to be a dick about it" So I took his nice brand spanking new Ram Tour ball and thew it OB yes I know I went a little too far, but they were hitting into us all day and not yelling sh**.

scratch or better this year is the overall goal stop losing my temper on a poor shot place top 10 in an amateur tournament Win an entertainment invite tournament

I honestly shoot lower scores when I walk. Maybe it's b/c I have time to let go of a bad shot after? Maybe it's because I have time to focus and think about what I want to do...I only ride when it's a course that's too hard to walk (Berkshire Valley type) where holes are anywhere from 100 - 400 yards apart and up and down mountains..not hills... like 60 degree slope.

My 1st time playing I shot well over 120! I walked off the course after the front 9 and I was already at 66 strokes! 1st year: played twice a week. End of the 1st year 26 handicap 2nd year: played 3-4 times a week. End of 2nd year 11.5 handicap 3rd year: played 3 - 5 times a week. End of 3rd year: 8.5 handicap 4th year: played 3 - 5 times a week. End of 4th year: 1.5 handicap 5th year: WHO KNOWS!!!! HOPEFULLY scratch or better. I really do feel that it's not just how often you play, but how you play...are you understanding the swing.... there's a point in my game when everything just clicked and it helped me to understand what your hands do, angles, planes, etc..once you have and understand all of that (and we're all still learning everyday), but once you get it... you can fix your game on the fly on the course instead of wondering: WHY IS THIS HAPPENING.... that's when you'll see the most improvement.

I don't know... to be honest every other cavity back that I've hit i've hit MUCH longer than my clubs... I'm giving the mp-60 yardage based on avg distance for the club I'd pull for how far from the pin I am if i'm going right at it..... the vr blade 5 and 6 to be honest felt more comfortable in my hands than the pro combo.... but not as comfortable as the mp-60's, but I hit them the best out of all the clubs I've hit over the past 2 years. I would've figured I would have gotten less distance b/c I moved from a 5.5 to a 6.0 on the shaft for the clubs I was testing.
