Rock In Socks

I tend to do this when the Mrs. is up for hitting the links. She’s relatively new to the game (maybe two dozen range visits and has played 6 rounds of 18 or so). I tee it forward with her to help her out and for pace of play (though it’s never been an issue). 6 iron tee shots and second shots (I like to use her drive for mid range target practice. Plus, makes for better cart golf) 9 iron capable of covering just about everything. 58* around the green. Putter or 3 iron depending on how I feel that day.

I am a big fan of the Snell balls. I play with both the MTB and the Get Sum. All depends on how I feel that day which one I play.

I would be all over this. I tend to play par 5s better than par 4s. However, I don't know about a complete 18 with only par 5s. Might be too repetitive but 9 would be fun. Better yet just alternate between threes and fives if you wanted an 18 hole course. I would only be scared of slow play issues.

Improve my short game! All ready seeing progress in putting. I spend about 5 minutes a day working on swing path and ball position. Next up wedges. Break 80 for the first time! First part will really help with this.

played nine today with a 7 club bag because I was.feeling the yippes forming in my normal carry. Took my driver, 19* hybrid, 4 iron, 7iron,52* and 58*, shot a 44. The yippes are all coming from my short irons which is why I only took the 7 and i hooked/ drawed all my shots with it. I am coming off a year of slices so i am having trouble with the adjustment. I suppose ill get over it because my driver has been dead on accurate which i am happy about. My game golf just came in today so can't wait to post my rounds.

I was able to get my first round of the year in and shot an 86. I can't remember the last time I played so well. Struggled with my mid and short irons but was crushing my drives hybrid and 3 iron. I don't really understand it myself but I'll take it. Made some great putts too. Need to work on everything 150 and in I guess.

Switching grips however night and day. hat-golf-equipment-helped-you-the-most/18#post_1196200"]Switching to stiffer shafts helped me hit my good shots a whole lot better, but my bad shots a whole lot worse so while it was a good change it hasn't improved my scores by much. Switching grips however night and day. My clubs had those thin rough textured grips, after many lessons and video analysis with one coach, I took a lesson with a different coach and she immediately tells me my grips are too small.... Change out to medium tour wrap grips and I immediately stopped hitting shots fat, and lost the slice in my 3 wood. Huge difference in scores.[/quote] Agree 100%. You can't swing something consistently if you can't hold on to it. I went from standard to midsize and it's best equipment decision I have ever made. It is probably also the cheapest of all equipment decisions is have ever made too.

I need a short game lesson!

@#$%....Putting!

If I can reach it with a club without setting foot on their lawn, I will get. If not, I drop a new one and keep going. I buy in balls in bulk when there are crazy deals. The 83 cents isn't worth the time.

Mid-round disaster.

On very rare occasions I get to enjoy a good strip of bacon.

Definitely better! Started a major campaign to get healthier this past winter. All the time spent at the gym and loosing over 30 pounds definitely took a toll on my swing. I felt like I was starting over from scratch. If you were to have been unlucky enough to witness any of my rounds at the start of the year, you would have thought I never played a day in my life. My league handicap has gone from 25 to 17. So, I will call it a all around life win.

I agree with swinging too hard. That is usually my down fall. I often have to remind myself to slow down. Swinging harder generally doesn't give me more yards due to off center strikes, but when I do square it up properly it generally adds 5-9 yards.

Driver: TM R1 3 wood: 15* Orlimar Tri-metal (I just can't seem to find a better one) Irons: Mizuno MP H4 2iron MP64 3-PW or Ping Eye 2+ 4-SW (depends on how I feel) Wedges: Cleveland 588 forged 52 and 56 Putter: Oddessy Protype 2 Black or an old STX (I am not sure of the model) Ball: Srixon Trispeed Tour

Both my brothers are lef handed. Makes it hard to give them clubs I no longer need. They are both currently looking for new sets and having trouble finding the right ones because they are left handed. There best options they have found have been ping and Taylor made, just not any players irons. I know one of my brothers was looking at aw hat appeared to be a good deal on some cleveland 588 cb forged irons from a couple years ago. I am not sure what came of it though.

Working on a more consistent putting stance and stroke, starting with the grip. Currently seems to different hole to hole right now. Also, I have been working on delveloping a better backswing with my irons and driver this past year. This has lead to quite a bit of success.

Driver: Ping G30...Preferably a pink one. Big Bertha Alpha Hybrids: Adams Super DHY, Pro mini, or Callaway Prototype Utility Iron Irons: A second set of Mizuno MP64 (They make me want to get my O face on. Feel so good in the hands.) Ping S55 or i25 tested these at same time as the MP64 and really enjoyed them. I also have a Soft spot for Ping. Greatest gift a Ping Eye2+ 5 iron (my set was missing the 5 iron when I recived them) Bag: Sun Mountain carry bag. Accessories: 1. As many boxes of Srixon Trispeed Tour Balls you can find. (Love this ball) 2. Golf Pride multi compound grips preferably enough for two sets of clubs. 3. UST Recoil 110 shafts for my Ping Eye 2+ irons.

I actually am in SE Wisconsin. If you don't mind sharing what places are available during the winter months to practice?

Hey everyone. Newcomer from WI. Normally when I am out golfing and people ask me this question I can't help but laugh and ask "do you really want to know?" As this normally results in people not wanting to talk to me. I am a corporate Tax Accountant.

Hello everyone, The name: Once during a round took my shoes and socks off to try and hit out of water. (Look easy when I saw it on TV once, so I naturally had to try it). All I will say about the shot is that it did not end well. I was completely soaked and covered in mud and at the end of the round discovered I some how had a couple of small rocks in my socks. By the way I would still do it again (practice makes perfect). My golf game summary: horribly inconsistent. I say horribly because I can go out play 9 holes and shot low to mid 40's one day and turn around and shoot in the 60's the next. It is usually always a differnt part of my game each time that struggles. Hoping to get some practice in over the winter. The wife generally frowns upon me swinging my clubs in the house, but sometimes it just has to happen or I'll go crazy. Anyway, hoping the golf talk on this forum will help me keep my sanity until April. Mike
