I carry a membership at Countryside Golf Club in Kaukauna, WI. Its a nice public course, within 10 minutes from my front door. Its not too long, not too easy. The greens are about the best around our our area and once I figured out the best times to play to avoid the leagues, I can pretty easily get at least 9 holes in every day, 18 most days. Weekends I can typically get 18 holes in and be home before my wife even gets out of bed (she's not a morning person). Countyside isn't anything fancy, but its a nice course run by really nice people.

That is the plan ... right now I have 3 ounces on it. Once I figure out for sure what works best, then I will re-grip with the weighting under the grip. and as far as "illegal" ... I play alone most of the time anyway, so I don't worry much about conforming ... I've been around ... more viewing that posting. But thanks for noticing ...

I wanted to try a "counter balance putter" so I hit the work bench. I have been counter balancing my fishing rods for years, and thus had several weights laying around the shop. I did not want to re-grip my putter just yet, so I could experiment with how much weight I wanted for the best feel. My solution, was to use a rubber furniture "screw-in foot", replaced the short screw in it with a longer screw to thread the weights on to - screw this all to the butt end of my golf grip then hold it in place more securely with electrical tape. So far, the results have been outstanding. Photos below:

Bounced off a patio into the sliding glass patio door - but luckily there was no breakage, and the owner was surprisingly understanding ... it had obviously happened before ...

Good point .... I would consider 2+ club wind "windy" ...

Steve Stricker's putting ,,,,

Been playing a LOT of golf this season, and I have come to the conclusion that I am a Wind Player. My best 2 rounds this past few weeks both came with winds at 20+. My normal round is typically 85 to 88 ... those 2 rounds were 79 and 80 - and the 80 (today's round) should have been a 78 if it weren't for the fact that I am a lousy putter. Just wondering if anyone else finds that their game excels in the breeze.

Never been long off the tee, but I keep it in the short grass more often than not. Driver 215-230 3 Wood 200 3i Hybrid 190 4i 180 5i 170 6i 160 7i 150 8i 140 9i 130 PW 120 GW 110 SW 95 LW 85

I am in the market for a right-handed TaylorMade Tour Burner (2008-09) A-wedge in good playing condition. Standard length, lie, etc. preferably with the original TaylorMade Burner 105 Flex R Steel shaft. Message me if you have one you're willing to part with.

I play most of my golf at Countryside Golf Course (I have a membership there). I'm looking for someone to play rounds with on weekend mornings - early. I'm 56, like to walk and typically shoot around boggie over 18 holes. Contact me if you are interested. Mark

I'm right there with many of you .... I'm in NE Wisconsin (GO PACKERS), and this cold and snow is killing me. By this time last year, I had 6 rounds in already. Paid my membership 8 weeks ago .... this weather is costing me!

I am looking for the glf file for the Irish Waters golf course near Kaukauna/Freedom Wisconsin. I had this course on my computer but it became corrupted and I do not want to renew my iGolf membership just to download one course. If someone out there has this course file on their computer and could email it to me I would be very appreciative. Thank You

Thanks for the replies guys. I knew I was not the only one dealing with this and it is nice to hear others go thru the same issues. I know its primarily about me trying too hard, and I know that the only real competition is between me and the course (and between me and my self), and to really play better anytime is reliant on me being relaxed and just let it happen ... just wish it wasn't so much easier said than done.

The mental part of this game is killing me. I play almost every day, usually alone, or occasionally with someone I meet on the course. On my home course I'm relaxed and my game has been progressing nicely. However, once a week I play with a group of friends on various courses around the area and its always a challenge for me ... duffed tee shots, bad iron shots and poor puts. Its really embarrassing! I know I'm a much better player than that. On a normal day I will shoot 4 or 5 over par per 9 holes. With my buddies I struggle to shoot bogie golf (typically more like 10-12 over in 9 holes). I'm so frustrated. Anyone else deal with this??

Selling a 3-club set of Adams Tom Watson Wedges that I originally purchased for my son, but he just hasn't taken to the game. The set includes a Gap Wedge (52* Loft/8* Bounce), a Sand Wedge (56* Loft/12* Bounce) and a Lob Wedge (60* Loft/8* Bounce). These clubs have very little use on them, perhaps a dozen rounds and 3 or 4 trips to the range. These are nice wedges and the grips are in great shape (original Adams grips). A nice set of wedges can do much to help your short game and these will fit the bill perfectly. Features • Three wedge models: 52 Deg. Gap, 56 Deg. Sand and 60 Deg. Lob. • Stainless steel construction for better control. • Exclusive Fog Mirror satin finish for glare reduction. • Two acoustical channels and a molded TPU medallion greatly improve feel by reducing impact vibration. • Trailing and leading edges are beveled to reduce turf drag, allowing for maximum versatility around the green. • The blade-length extends the hitting area for greater ease and the wider sole design is more forgiving.

Selling a 8-club set of Cobra Transition S Hybrid Irons and a Hippo Driver. I have played the Cobra's a couple seasons to get my game back to where I wanted it to be after a long absence, the Driver is one I got at an outing last season and has just been used as a loaner/back-up. Iron set includes 3-5 Hybrids (with head-covers) and 6-PW irons, all with Aldila Graphite Shafts in Reg. Flex. Clubs were re-gripped this past winter with GolfPride grips that are in great shape. Forgiveness. That's the key word with the Transition-S hybrid set. Transition refers to the three types of clubs that make up the set: Utility metals, hybrid irons and wide-sole irons. Together, they give moderate-ball-speed players a higher level of forgiveness, along with optimal launch and carry distance. And because the set has been designed to eliminate distance gaps, you'll experience a higher level of consistency. It's time to transition to a lower scoring game. The Hippo Driver is 10.5* loft, Reg. Flex. If you are a player just getting started, or an older player looking for more distance and forgiveness, this would be a great set for you.

I have an Adams 2 hybrid in the marketplace forum. I bought it slightly used but even with a regular flex shaft it seems a bit stiff to me and I do better with my old 5 wood. http://thesandtrap.com/t/57808/adams-idea-super-black-hybrid-17-degree

Shot 85 today! That's the 3rd time in the past week I have broken 90 (88, 84, 85), and today's round came on a course I had never played before. My handicap now sits at 15, not bad considering it was a 23+ about 18 months ago.

This club is in good condition, normal useage, not abused. I bought it to use as a replacement for my 5 wood but decided to go another route (you know us golfers ... never satisfied with our clubs ...). The 17 degree hybrid is about equivalent to a 2-iron. The shaft is Aldia VooDoo 85gm Regular Flex. The grip is the original Adams grip. It does come with a matching headcover (magnetic closure).

The problem I see with putting a plaque where Bubba hit from is that he'd then have to hit it off the plaque next time .... not that he couldn't hit it off the plaque ...

That was tough to watch .... except I had Snedeker picked on my Fantasy team!!

Yeah, that has crossed my mind too. A couple months ago the local weather folks were telling us to expect a colder than normal winter and above normal snowfall .... I'm still wondering if that will be the case.
