PXG 7 Wood review: It's good, and it actually sounds really nice. I used it for a range session and then out on the course today and I'm really impressed with it so far. I'm sure I'll come to hate the club as I do most of my clubs but right now I'm pretty happy.

Knew it would be thin, but hit it straight, low ball 220. Hit it a bit thin all day on the course, but great, high flight on the range. Good sound, looks great behind the ball.

I played my smoothest round at the nicer of the local muni's. Short course but oh my loving GOD is it tight. #17 is a 200+ yard par3 that splits between two enormous live oaks about 30 yards wide in the flight path  A lot of those GIR numbers aren't indicative when a lot of my approaches were fringe near tucked pins.   This time last year, I weighed 246 pounds on a 5'6" frame. I weighed 188 this morning and here's why.  I got to clean up some 3-putts and that stupid double. Going to play the easier one tomorrow and see if I can't break 80. New swing is rocking out on most shots. I'm pulling my driver though, might be getting a little too flat.

So guys. Physical therapist recommended I take up golf swimming ect sports that use twisting motion in addition to the weight lifting I already do. So I picked golf. The plus side is I get to walk around looking for my ball for extra steps. I live in the thousand island area of NY and everything is about to shut down. I was able to get a good deal on a golf sim in trade for some mechanical work. What would be a good place to learn go to learn more while everything is shut down with snow. Thanks.

Are you starting from complete scratch? You might be able to find a teaching pro at an indoor simulator place and schedule like an hour lesson then work on whatever they give you on your own sim. If going to a pro is out of the question, I recommend Monte Scheinblum's site rebelliongolf.com which has some video series for like $15-$30 depending on the series. Also, I know Monte offers online lessons over like Zoom, so having your own sim would be easy to schedule a session or at least take video for him to analyze. I'm sure other instructors offer similar. What's most important, imo, is finding a consistent source of instruction. There is a ton of info out there and a lot of it is good, but also just turning on the youtube firehose of golf videos is a bad idea, because you could find two great instructors who have slightly different ideas of how the swing even works (or even two videos from the same guy but 10 years apart) and they might not be compatible. Find an instructor, stick to their drills and lessons for a bit, if you can't get their teaching style or it's not working for you, feel free to find a new one, but eventually you need to settle on one source.

I'm sure other instructors offer similar. I'm not a complete beginner but I have to relearn. I have pretty decent nerve damage down both arms so I'm trying to figure out how to do the things I could do as a kid and for the life of me can't seem to make it work. Short game near the green ends up with me playing wack gently caress over the green as often as landing by the pin. Occasionally I can get around 100. The only good thing seems to be that I can still get a driver working right 4/5 times. Nearest place that I've found with a golf sim is golf galaxy down in Syracuse about an hour and a half drive.

I left a decent(cleveland) sand wedge by a green yesterday. I guess whoever picked it up liked it  Normally I'd expect Vokeys to sprout legs like that, but looks like I'm shopping for a new wedge today. edit: https://www.callawaygolf.com/jawsraw/ Cost twice what my last one did, but it's nice

Maybe this isn't true for all clubs, but unless they show actual pictures of the clubs, they will rate clubs worse than they are. I ordered a Cobra driving iron that was an 8.5 out of 10, but it arrived brand new, still in the plastic, and never been hit. I think it was $50 less than retail too. Exact same deal with a rotex 4 wedge.

I got home from a golf trip yesterday and had a blast, although it was pretty chilly where we were in PA. A guy in my group aced the 17th hole in our final round so that was a nice way to cap it off. Looks like a pretty good week for weather here so hopefully there’s still plenty of golf left before the snow flies.

Won't be an issue soon, here, first tee time will move to 9am and fewer frost days once winter hits. Also, more open tee times.

Just had a hole in one, but no witnesses. On the plus side the clubhouse was locked because there were only like 3 people on the entire course so my bar bill is $zero. Gap wedge from 112 that landed right next to the hole, bounced once, and spun back in. Now my golf shelf has a Kirkland v2.0 proudly sitting next to the ProV1s I hit for my only other ace and my albatross lol.

SquirrelGrip posted:New country, new clubs time. Getting fitted for the first time next Tuesday, any tips before I head in? Be honest with the fitter about what you like and don't like about your current clubs, the feel you like, where your game is strong or weak, and what kind of ball flight you like or want to avoid. The more they know the better.

I've had so many people tell me that they don't want to get fitted until they fix their swing. Guess what? Your swing will always be bad. The right golf clubs can get you in play. Swing how you swing. It's like not buying new clothes because "I'm going to lose weight anyway"

7 3-putts today  4 missed putts inside 3 feet I was murdering the golf ball so well I barely noticed. We have had NO rain in two months and all this bermuda is hard and grainy. It's really a crapshoot right now. Tap in's turning out of the hole kind of poo poo. Everything's rolling like the US Open and boy do I suck!

cheating rear end Patrick Reed has now added more people to his list of defamation suits that are all going to get slapped down https://twitter.com/ShaneRyanHere/status/1587794597849309185 Awful Announcing posted:Ryan’s 2015 book Slaying the Tiger featured reporting from past college teammates of Reed (seen above in an Oct. 30 LIV Golf event) accusing him of cheating. Considering how wildly Reed and his infamous attorney Larry Klayman have been flinging lawsuits around, it’s actually a surprise Ryan is only now being added to the list. To my knowledge, Florida has a pretty good anti-SLAPP law so very good odds this winds up with Reed owing a lot of people a lot of money DJExile fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Nov 2, 2022 |

Played 18 today, and we noticed a pattern on pin placement: no pin was further than 15 feet from the edge of the green, and only one was that far. They averaged 12 feet. I've never seen 18 pins set that way.

I haven't sniffed even par since about 2013. I easily had my smoothest 9 in a decade today. Shots were just flying true with a baby fade and I was dropping those fuckers in tight. I could see the shots before I hit them. Feels good man  After last weekend's putting nightmare, I think I left 5 birdie putts 12" short of the hole I had 6 shots within 20 feet. Obviously that is not a very difficult golf course, but the work I've been putting in is starting to pay off. That pace of play was me walking too. I've lost 65 pounds this past year.

Folks underestimate how loving hard that is, no matter the length of the course. Losing that much weight is obviously a net positive for your game, but I swing around a bit of a belly now, and when the weight fluctuates down, my swing is different. Don't discount how that's changed your game, too.

torgeaux posted:One over is one over. Folks underestimate how loving hard that is, no matter the length of the course. The other muni course here is where my weekend group is and if you're ever around, do play it. That is an easy looking yardage course but it is so ridiculously tight and hilly, if you try and overpower it you better bring a chainsaw. There's some easy holes there, #2 and #11 are scorecard busting fuckers. 2 is about 50 feet uphill dogleg left that slopes severely into a ravine and my best driver shots are 165-ish in but playing 185 from the elevation into a green with a giant bunker covering all but about 75% of the accessible parts. 17 is just plain cruel. plays between 200-230 yards from the white tees and I have a tiny gap between two enormous live oaks to fit a 3 hybrid (or even a 3 wood on some days) with a fade into. It's nearly impossible to land it with my shot shape. An an added bonus the green backs up to a busy street and is elevated about 4 feet, sloping back to front hard. My buddy calls that place "17 golf holes and THAT motherfucker". https://course.bluegolf.com/bluegolf/course/course/hilamanparkmunicipal/overview.htm Farking Bastage fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Nov 3, 2022 |

I've never seen 18 pins set that way. There's a course I play fairly regularly that always has their pins set like this, it makes absolutely no sense on a public course. Compounding that is that they don't cut fringes on the greens so sometimes you'll get a pin 6 feet from the edge of the green so a 3 yard miss puts you shortsided in sticky East Coast rough.
