  1. No clue on the stats, it was just an article in the local paper describing his round, didnt get into that much detail... Anyway, the guys name is Ron Harvey Jr. and he is from Sussex New Brunswick (Canada) He actually just posted his lowest round as a pro, a 63 in a qualifying tournament for this weekends Nationwide Tour event... In one stretch he had 6 straight birdies... It is always nice to see a local do well, and he is only 23 or 24, so hopefully we will see him out on the PGA tour sometime soon...
  2. Yup, you don't see too many 320 yard par 4' s on the PGA tour (or any other pro tour)... And our par 5's are usually 500 at most...
  3. Thanks for the advice, I suppose it would be smart to get fitted again... I will have to make the effort to get to a proper shop...

    I am going to pick from the heart, not my head... And I will say my fellow countryman Mike Weir will win with Stephen Ames finishing second.
  5. Pro courses I mean... A recent article in my local newspaper was a real eye opener as to just how difficult the golf courses are on the major tours. A local pro who is now playing on the Nationwide tour was home for a week off, he played the local course, which is quite nice by the way, and shot a 66 with 31 putts... He had 6 eagle putts on the day, hit all of the par 5's in 2 except one, where he was on the fringe, drove 2 par 4's (one with his 3 wood)... but obviously his poor putting held him back... Can you imagine shooting a 66, and without making any putts?? If he an average day putting(for a pro), say 27 putts that is a 62...
  6. I know, this is why I have held off buying a new set of irons... It would require a trip out of town to go to a shop that can fit me (I could go to the pro shop at a golf course close to me, but I can not spend $600+ on clubs right now)... So I am in a bit of a pickle... The shop where I purchased my existing irons is still in business, but I moved about 6 years ago... I may have to make a special trip, I suppose...
  7. Also, I just noticed that I can get the newer GT3 irons for not a whole lot more money, plus they come with a 60 and a 55 degree wedge as a bonus... Any great difference in the two sets?
  8. Hi Everyone, I am looking for a bit of advice on some new irons. I can get the Adams Tight Lies GT2 Undercut irons for a really nice price but... I am currently playing a set of irons that I had fitted about 12 years ago. I am about 6' 1" and the irons are longer than standard. I have been told since getting these that I should have been playing standard length irons all along, plus, I recently got some lessons and I have changed my swing quite a bit... Anyway, If I buy the Adams set they will be standard length and I will not be able to try them out, they are from an online store. There is no one close to me that I can go to get fitted for clubs like this, they only have the higher end clubs and I simply can't afford them. I am pretty confident that the Adams clubs will be a very good set for me, but I am concerned that the difference in length and lie from my fitted clubs might cause me grief, the Adams clubs will be standard length and lie... I also have always had a problem with hitting shots to the right, not a slice, a block, I suppose, my new swing has helped, but I still do it a bit. The Adams clubs are available with stiff shafts, I am playing regular shafts right now, I think the stiff shafts and the GT2 progressive offset might help with this... Any opinions on this? Also, I am a pretty average golfer, I can shoot high 80's on a very good day, but I regularly shoot high 90's... Thanks!!
