  1. Or just keep score with an eraser equipped pencil.
  2. ive played fast as little as 1:45 a round, if thats al the time you have then you have two choices, play or not. The guy in the OP sounds like he was probably just playing through briskly to get ahead of the 2some.
  3. I will play 3 rounds without my driver in the bag. Thou shalt play three rounds. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number of rounds played, and the number of the rounds shall be three. Four shalt thou not play, nor either thou play two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then thou shalt be complete.
  4. Harmonious, the course I played last night was tight in thick woods. The 6 iron was used more or less for the majority of the latter holes off the tee and it worked. It brought me to ponder the question of working out the kinks of the driver or just rely on the 6iron. If I rely on the 6 off the tee, I think I will be shooting close to 82. Maybe even break 80, but I doubt it. My driver accounts for at least 10 extra strokes a round. Yea 350 was/is the longest Ive hit, its a one out of 50 drive for me. I played friday night and with driver hit the following: 220 worm burner 150 snap hook 50 yard top 200 yard hook 50 yard come back off a tree(tried to cut a dog leg) 270 downhill into another fairway 300 down the middle 100 yard worm burn 310 yard left fairway 150 snap hook 270 yard fairway uphill(skied it kinda) Then i quit due to light. The potential is there,if you had a round of drives like this.but could swap the uncertainty out for a 200 yard tee shot everytime what would you choose? I repeat my 6 iron is your 3 iron, my hands are way out in front of the ball. Until you witness a player that hits that much deloft, I guess its hard to picture I am unable to use a 5 iron, 4 iron, or a fairway wood. My 7wood is all I carry and I worm burn. So maybe the 6 iron is really your 1 iron. FYI im over 6-3 and weigh 225 lbs, with a wingspan of 6-4" it isnt very hard to hit a ball far for me. It is however,hard to hit it with consistency. Bottom line, put your doubts aside and ask whether to take the high reward? or see how well I can play with 200 yards off the tee. I google earthed it and came back from the 240 it was posted above...fairways dry, its drawing left so the spin is running down etc.... well Im not hitting it that far every time, maybe one out of 50?
  5. Im lost...fix the drive and perfect the monster or get the HC down under ten?
  6. It was drawing hard left and the angle was low loft... (more like your 3 iron I bet)
  7. correction, 6 iron shots from tee went 195 to 210on the last 3 pars 4.s
  8. the 6 iron out of the rough went 235 to 240 around a dog leg according to google maps.
  9. My game is always changing. A Month ago I had some decent driving going on, hooks and worm burning and maybe 2 hazards every 14 drives were the worst I see a round. The best I have ever had was 14 drives avg of 245 with one or two going 100 yards but safe. My drives dont slice but will hook a little. The best balls will go to 350 --stinger type drives on fairways, any solid drive will always go 275 or more. In the past 2 weeks, drives have been totally unreliable, topspin ducks, tops and then maybe 8 decent drives, but the bad will add 6 to 12 strokes per round easy. Recent new club is a Nike Sumo 6 iron xstiff shaft. All my irons are wetnoodle shaft walmart brand. My wedges are good from 150 and in.(no help needed there) The new 6iron is a huge success. Today i played a par 5 and topped to the front of ladies tee. Had a decent lie in the rough and hit a huge power draw with the 6 down the fairway to the 150. I judge the ball to have gone 220 to 250 but no way less than 220. The ladies par 5 was 475...yea the math is screwy, I havent google earthed the yardage yet, but no way it went 300. Made par. The next 3 par 4's I tee'd off with the 6 and hit drives of 200 to 230 all fairway.(shot even par)only played nine tonight. Shot a 44. If I had played the 6iron the entire 9 holes I would have shot a 40 or 41 since the 4 xtra strokes came from poor driver shots. I rarely 3 putt. I chip decent. I land greens usually from 140 in. Off the tee on par 4's and 5's: Should I just put the driver away? Or play the 6iron? I cant hit a 3 wood and cant seem to hit a low lofted club well. I deloft and have serious power, im 36. If I drove 250-270 straight every long hole, I would be a single digit HC. Naturally 200 to 230 on some holes with my 6 iron will put me at a disadvantage. off to google to see this 6iron shot
  10. If you hit into my direction and my Son was with me. You would have bigger problems than waiting for a long round of golf, knowing that assault is a crime, I would simply grab every club in your bag and break them, then I would complain to the pro shop that you asaulted me with your clubs and my only defense was to break all of your stix. When the cops show up, any intelligent policeman is going to take statements and see no bodily harm was done and we both walk away. You may try to sue, but its your word against another. Long story...its never worth getting into a possible scenario of violence and you did by hitting the drive. BUT since Im a logical golfer, I would let you through at first sight, if I was in teaching mode with a child.
  11. Yea it will prove to everyone just how big a deal the no 1 slot is. He acts as if its of no concern, but he knows its in his grasps and it is affecting his play. IMO
  12. yea i saw it. I was expecting an excuse, very manly of him to say he's just playing poorly.
  13. He is on his path to an EPIC CHOKE
  14. Hes doing good enough to possibly become the worlds number one ranked golfer. He has stood behind Tiger for how many years ? This is an epic moment for both of their careers. .
  15. what happens if t finishes no. 78?
  16. walking a hilly course in 98 degree heat while not losing your muscle memory and focus
  17. 4 over par today OMG
  18. Phil is finally going to get the number one ranking unless he chokes. Its probably one of the biggest waits in sports history for an individual
  19. 2 over at the present round for a total 8. unraveling....
  20. The press conference quote..I will play my way onto the team.... Concerns me, I hope they dont give it to him just b/c of who he is. Reminds me of the lame MLB all star voting. Would it be the biggest slap in the face if he didnt pick Tiger That would either send him into a tailspin or push him to the point of reclusion with his game. THE PLOT THICKENS WITH EVERY POOR OUTING!
  21. it would be something to behold...but you wouldnt be able to see it past 390! Me and my pansy 340 yarders
  22. I deloft so bad with my lob wedge the ball vaporizes at impact since it defies all laws of physics
  23. hes grinding this round...
