  1. I broke 90 today too!!! Feels great. I shot 88. I wasn't hitting the ball well until the back 9, but my putting was on.
  2. 1. shoot in the 90s consistently 2. break 90 3. hit at least half of fairways off the tee.
  3. Wow man, great setup. I'm going to look into that now... but much simpler. lol
  4. Broke 100-check Get lessons-never got around to it
  5. I'm looking at the 906F4... I can't really find anywhere to buy it from for sub 150...
  6. I'm on the market for a fairway wood. I'm looking for 130 bucks or less. I've read a couple reviews on the Mizuno, and they are mostly positive. Does anyone have any other suggestions for a fairway or comments on the F-60?
  7. 2-4 for me. Throw in a couple birdie chances in there too.
  8. From bf4s, maybe free wings that year? That would be sick . What grade are you in? I'm considering making the jump to my high school team as well. I believe all you need to get in is a 95. (I think)
  9. I finally broke 100 today!!! I shot a 98. 52 on the front 9, 46 on the back. The story that got me under a 100, was when one of my friends found this pink ball on the sencond par 3 on the front 9. I used it on the par 3, got a bogey, played it on the last hole on the front nine, sank in a par put. I concluded I would use it for the rest of the day, and boy did it turn out. I got par on a par 5 on the first hole on the back nine, and that set me off. Best golf I've ever played, and man, that pink ball felt awesome around/on the green. But anyways, that pink ball is going in my glass golf ball trophy display thing.
  10. This is some awesome stuff. I hope you enjoy it. :D
  11. Yeah, using an iron off the tee works a good amount for me as well. When the driver isn't working, it's time for the hybrid or 4 iron.
  12. Well, I went golfing yet again today. I hit the ball the best I've ever done in my life. My irons felt great off the club, my drives were straight right onto the fairway. I tried the nxt tour for those who mentioned I should try it, and I loved it. The problem is, I'm still getting the same 100's score just like I have my entire life. The reason is, is that my short game and my chipping completely failed me today. I refuse to believe that it was the ball, as I'm guessing the nxt isn't as soft as the nike one. But, I hit the ball so clean, it was awesome. Example that summarizes my day- I hit a drive on a dogleg right, right down the middle, and I hit it too good. I end up in the front of the woods, still have a clear shot. I pitch the ball about 50yds out, short. Chip again, 3 putt. Not only was it my chipping and putting, but it was also my short irons' accuracy, I was constantly finding bunkers. I usually have an incredible short game, as it saves me from the inconsistency of my drives, and long iron messups, which always runs up my score. It just seems nothing goes my way in this game, and its either my short game is on, and my long game is off, or apparently today, vice versa. Any ideas or insight? Man, I hate this game.
  13. My putter I have now is excellent for me personally. I love the feel and weight shit has you complete your stroke. You should just go to a pro shop or any golf store and test some out yourself, which is how I found mine. My srt is now 99 bucks at dicks, which last year I bought mine for around 200. You may or may not want to check it out.

  15. For some reason, I always hit spot on with my 4 iron, and it even goes where I'm aiming. Why is that? Is it just a confidence thing? What clubs do you never miss with?
  16. Maybe that's my problem. After every nine, I always count up my front nine, then I calculate what I need, which just throws me off.
  17. Break 100 before I turn 17. Be more consistant with the driver. Get pro lessons.
  18. Thanks for the reply. I'll be sure to check a couple of those you mentioned.
  19. Ouch. If that happened to me, I don't think I would have a putter anymore. Hang with 'em I guess.
  20. Hey guys, I'm trying to find the right golf ball to use, and I think I need some help. These golf ball commercials always claim their ball creates more distance, spin, and speed, and its just really confusing. I've been using the nike one ball, and its nice but I really don't know what I should be looking for. I guess the one ball to use is the pro v's, but then you could turn back to the nike one, or any other ball. Then I was looking into some other ball nike makes, the nike karma? I really don't know how important using any individual ball is, or if it even makes a difference. I shoot in the 100-105 range, and I'm ready to break 100, and it's been very frustrating. I'm 16, and I drive the ball 230-240, I push it to the right usually, and I've always had a nice short game. It's the consistancy of hitting good drives, or with my irons, has really killed me on strokes. What do you guys suggest?

    16. Started when I was about 12 or 13. Getting better. Slowly, but surely.
  22. I use 3. LW, SW, PW. I use the SW mainly for chipping.
  23. Wow, good job. I've shot a 104. I was so close. It's always the first 2 or 3 holes for me. My muscles are all stiff, and it seems like I've never swung at a golf ball before. Anyways, good job, I hope to get there soon.
