I usually try and go to google earth and use the ruler function to measure the important points on the course. I would also try and use google maps to make a layout of each hole. Play the course, and make notes.

My buddy has the J36 cavity backs. I have to say they are awesome. If I were you, I'd go for them.

FAIRFIELD CA!!! That's the way to do it. I've seen so many rounds low this year, it's amazing to watch and hear about.

New Wedges - Cleveland? something else?
Forest replied to atthepin's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I have a VR 60, as well as a couple of vokeys (as seen in the sig), and I love them equally as much. I haven't really liked the Clevelands. My main grudge against it is the roundish leading edge, and those stupid (imo) lines on the CG15's. Does the thing really have to say laser milled 5 times? A lot of people like vokeys, and that would be my vote. -
e6? Soft? The e6 is a rock. If you're looking to get less side spin, then try top flites.

Good job, I like to see people improving. I myself is stuck in a rut (that sounded odd). It looks like it's about time to go hit the range with nothing but a six iron and a bucket of 150... Back on topic, I shot the same 82 at a course from the tips, but they played 6100, and 120ish slope. congrats on your low score!

My friend and I developed a game to help with Ups and Downs. We call it, appropriately, the up and down game. Find a green that you can chip and putt on, and for every up and down you get, you are awarded 1 point. If you chip and two putt, you get no points. If you three putt, you get negative one points, and so on. After a while, you get good at chipping it close.

I play them like flops, and swing about 101%. It helps to know that you will get the ball to the hole.

Make sure the wedges are softer steel, or you might screw it up. Which I have learned the hard way.

Just stamped my initials on my VR but it's looking bare. I want something else, but I don't know what. And you guys have to help me stamp it.

Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?
Forest replied to JYB's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Shaft extender for a wedge, new VR forged 60.06 from eBay, grips, grip removal tools, and a Golf Pride New Decade Multicompound. -
Saw Sergio screw up, but where is the live coverage?
-
I want to see this tantrum. Are you guys watching on PGA tour.com? The link isn't working for me right now.
-
Oh my god, that is amazing. I need to go to one. And I though golf galaxy was amazing.

I liked the TM burner 07. The feel of it is great, although the face looks shut at address. The ball comes off the face super fast, and it has a nice sound. Another option would be the Adams Speedline Fast 10.

Has anyone tried Golf Pride Tour Wrap 2G grips?
Forest replied to PiustheDrGolf's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
These grips are good, but they do get slick with a little sweat. That is the main reason I prefer the tour velvets. -
Bought myself a set from amazon.com a couple of weeks ago and stamped both of my wedges. It looks sweet.

Droping club to the inside on downswing
Forest replied to GrahamD's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Dropping it to the inside really helped me, because I used to slice/push it. Now I can work the ball left and right, but I tend to get too inside, and hook it sometimes. -
What is used to extend the shaft?
-
Is it at all possible to extend a shaft, or will you have to get the whole thing reshafted? I got a wedge cut down 1" off regulation length, but it is too short now.
-
I've got the 907D2, but I think that you should try the 909 line. However, the 909 D comp was an immediate answer for my style of play, but when I hit it, it had a terrible sound and feel.

Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?
Forest replied to JYB's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Bought 2 Tour Wrap 2G's at golfsmith, as well as 8 more Tour Velvet .580 ribbed, and a tape removal tool. I need a SM60.10 soon from vokey... -
I was hitting 95 ish yard shots as approaches. I think I'll use the choke down method, seems simpler. I have a 52 GW, but it's a 54 bent, so it has 6 degrees of bounce, and is 1" short. I find it hard to hit full shots with it, so I have better success choking down. Thanks for all the tips.
-
Yeah, I played today and I was wondering about converting my 710's to U grooves. I wish I could, but I don't really think it's possible. I'm probably going to have to play a higher shot and let the ball land soft and roll out.

Okay, thank you for the advice.
