18 today with Jake, the grandson. migawd, can that boy smack a ball around. He hadn't played since July, but I don't think he hit driver less than 300 on any hole. And did break his record longest, a couple times. Previous was 365, on a straight down the line hole, using scorecard & GPS figures(not combined π), when the ball stopped just in back of the flag.
He birdied a couple of long Par 5s today with 412 and 383, with a lot(see: TON) of carry on both!! Did I mention he was using the 'new' shaft, on those 2 holes, that I have for demoing....which seems to be 'something' in the making. (R flex, btw) Anyway, front he was 1 over, I was 3 over. Back, something got hold of me. Had 2 birdies, no bogeys, something I've never done, ever! He had a couple birdies, a couple bogies. End of day, we both shoot 72, 1 over. 82*, low humidity, 10-15 mph wind. Great day, great time!! Heading out again tomorrow, but told him we have to play somewhere different, so as not to spoil today, in memory.
He is supposed to forward me more pics, still waiting. I did have a couple of him.
Below is the 383 hit. You can see the ball.
The ball has seemingly disappeared; was there when posted. Dead center. And when I look at my file, it's there. wth?
