We had 8 guys go out from work this afternoon. It was 85 here in central PA - probably the last gasp of summer. We had a 2 team match (4 per team) going. Basically everyone played their own ball the whole time but we calculated 2 man and 4 man best balls for front, back, and total and each person had a one on one match play for front, back, total. We played off the lowest guyโs HC (6) so at a 24 myself, I got a stroke every hole. The other guys ranged from a 9 to 19 so they got less. A bit too complex and exotic for my taste but Iโm told we won.
I shot 113 overall but it was a bogey and snowman kind of day. Mixed in a par on each 9. My driving was insane. I played with the 6 HC who is regarded as a bomber and I out did him by 15-20 most holes. I pushed one drive right and OB and one found the creek at 295 but everything else was playable and long. I hit the new Adams 18* VERY well. 220-230ish. I canโt see myself using a 3W much. I was magic out of the sand. My Ping Glide 3.0 Eye2 grind is a cheat code. Got two gimmes out of green side bunkers. I can also flop that thing really well and had some great ones from tough spots today.
Everything else was ๐ถ ๐ฉ(see 113 above!). My irons were thin city! I had an 8 and a 7 on par 3s. My putting was also mostly rubbish. Greens were lightning and I had no feel for anything over 15 feet. Either smashed it waaay past or left it waaaaay short. I need to learn to lag!
