I shot a 44 on 9 holes in league last night 5 three putts. This ties my best 9 holes for the year. Downhill putting is killing me.

37 as a sub at a course I've only played one time last night, and that was with the wrong yardage on a blind approach shot that resulted in a triple bogey. 50 in my league tonight. Harder course with sanded greens but still... fuckin golf

Haven't caught up with the thread yet but thanks to it I scored these Nike FIs for 20 bucks via Burlington coat factory. Only size 12 and only pair of golf shoes in the store. Super comfortable and felt great at the range today with my hybrid/short iron practice.

Laying down the mattress now. Haven't golfed for 3 weeks, and spent all my spare time redecking my 1600 linear foot deck. My hands hurt and my back hurts. I'll probably have my low round of the season. Oh, and tee time won't allow any range time, so straight to the first tee. Hurray for handicap management days.

Had multiple requests for different sizes so I am going back today to get rando sizes for people without local burlingtons. Some dude gave me $60 + Shipping for some Lunarlon's already that I got so I've basically gotten back half the money I spent already selling 1 pair.

Shot 40 in my league last night. Didn't actually hit the ball well at all so that's probably the best I could hope for. But I made no putts. Two three putts and a few like 5-8 footers that I missed really hurt me. My opponent got two shots on me. We both shot our handicap score(40 and 42) exactly, and we tied 7 holes and each won one. I don't know if it could have been closer. I failed to birdie the last par 5 when I was sitting at 177 to the flag after my drive. Hurts.

First hole, first swing, great tee shot. Second hole, great tee shot. Third hole, hit ball to exactly the shown pin location, only to discover they had left it middle, not back left (gps on cart shows location and distance, each turned out wrong by 10 yards). No more good tee shots on the front, no bad ones on the back.

So I've been playing some pretty steady golf. I was -1 through my last 4 rounds across different courses, and then I shot +1 at a local course, but still, not too bad. This afternoon I played a track I normally score well on, and I just couldn't get away with anything. I shot a +7 on the front 9, carding 2 triples along the way. A playing partner remarked that the first triple was perhaps the worst hole he'd ever seen me play. Looking back at my rounds in GolfShot, the last time I carded worse than a double bogey was when I took a quad bogey going for broke on a par 5 finishing hole back in January of 2015. 2.5 years. Now sure, I probably had some practice rounds where I pumped a few balls OB trying out different things, but I don't keep score on those. I started to turn it around on the back 9, hitting driver - 7i into a par 5 and rattling the flagstick, but we were forced to leave the course because they were starting a 4 man scramble at 5 pm. We were told to either take an 18 hole rain check or play the front 9 again, and since we were on the 14th tee when they asked us to decide, we took the rain check and left. I'm privately thankful because that round won't count, but I would have been very happy to break 80. Golf giveth, and golf taketh.

I hear you. I hadn't made worse than double bogey in a tournament at my home course in about a year (30ish rounds) and then in the last one I made 3 triples, all on the back 9. It's infuriating.

I did ok today considering I haven't hit a ball in a week due to it raining every day this month. Had a one hour rain delay at the turn + 4 beers that got me a little off on the back. I had 3 real good looks at birdie on 4, 6, and 9, like under 10 feet and damned if I didn't leave them all short. Made a 30+ footer from the fringe on 7. I missed the fairway on 10 by about 15 feet but it stoned me dead behind a tree, 11 was a clusterfuck. I'm hitting the ball pretty nice right now and my index is trending down.

Found a TP5-X ball in the rough today brand new. Used it for the next 10 holes. One of the best balls I've ever used. Now I have to convince myself not to buy a dozen as they're stupidly expensive.

2 weeks off really sucks, let's not do that again. Thought I was starting off great then 3-7 happened but got it back on track afterwards. Next couple weekends looks good for golf and I have a long weekend for July 4th so many rounds will be played in the next couple of weeks!

I golfed for the first time on Friday, is there an effortpost for beginners? I did have a great time and am interested in playing more. I can't drive for poo poo, and got worse as the buddy I was with was correcting my form. My chipping and putting is okay, I think. I worked at a driving range when I was in highschool 16 years ago and spent a lot of down time goofing around with a wedge, and I used to be pretty accurate back then. Maybe I should take a lesson or three? Hit 100 balls a day at the range for 100 days? I don't have any clubs either. Is it better to get an inexpensive full set for the first year or so? Or are half the clubs useless and should I just get 5 or 6 half decent clubs that are used the most? Here is a coyote that was hanging out on the 18th green

Don't listen to your friends unless those friends are teaching pros. Everyone has the tendency to give advice that applies to their own game; you likely need to think about very different things to arrive at a sound swing. I'm a big fan of eBay clubs. Can get sets a few years old for a third or less than retail that way. My main advice would be to not play this silly game but sounds like you might already have the bug. I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Welcome friend.

If you're a new golfer, finding a way to hit some clubs without actually buying them is probably the best thing to do. You may have some idea of what shaft flex youd prefer but there's lots of other things that might make a big difference to you either physically or mentally. I absolutely cannot play clubs with more than a tiny amount of offset for example, even though I know it's almost entirely mental. Once you have an idea of what you like you can get new or used clubs online that are a year or two old for a tiny fraction of what the new clubs go for and have probably 99.9% of the performance.Summit posted:Don't listen to your friends unless those friends are teaching pros.

Sorry, wasn't implying cheap balls, but that the TP5s are worth the price...of course, you're paying more than me. Any online sources for you? I can get somewhat discounted prices sometimes on logo overruns (which frankly I prefer).

I love hitting my Ping wedge to the point that I think I want to get more Ping irons that have similar characteristics. Its a Tour Gorge, made in approximately 2013. The hive mind of club hoes that are GolfWRX (since we are all now outed as posters there) have suggested something in the iSeries would be the closest, and given the dates I am contemplating getting a set of i20s--I have a line on a set in black dot with no shipping fees for a very reasonable price in fact. Are there closer clubs to the wedge I have than the i20/25/e1? What I love about hitting this wedge is that, I don't know, its weighting and balance are perfect for my swing, and actually seems to improve my mechanics because the swing groove is so well defined I don't need to swing the poo poo out of it or whatever. The heads are heavier than my old Karsten 1 clones and that helps me find the groove. The heads are a bit larger than my current irons, and the sound is a much more satisfying crack than the dull thump of my current irons. And, I hate to admit it, they are more forgiving--much less torque comes from a toe strike, and the ball carries straighter and longer on a mishit (although I have had very few of them with this wedge). I'm probably getting a bit carried away I realize. I really just need to hit more. But today after my large bucket I hit a second starter bucket with just this wedge and my pitching wedge as a warm down despite having hitnearly half of the first bucket to these clubs, its just do damned fun to hit.

Clubs you have confidence in? Better than any high tech club made since. But, see if you can find and swing some before buying.
