Tale of two nines. 46-37. I had to pick up twice for net double bogey so my putts number is bogus. But I didn't 3 putt, and I 1-putted 3 times. I got into the zone on holes 10-11-12. On 10 I hit a pure 7 iron barely over the big oak tree that is in the middle of the fairway, rolled past the cup. Made the birdie. On par 5 11 I hit the green in two. It was playing downwind, and I hit a great drive and then a great 7 wood to pin high. Missed the eagle but got my second birdie in a row. I only get a GIR eagle putt about once a year. On 12 I got the closest to the pin, but missed the birdie turkey and settled for par.
7 wood story. I posted about the 20 degree Wilson 5 wood that I built for my 7 wood spot to replace my Acer that likes to draw. I used the iDrive Tour shaft. Well, something must be wrong with that shaft because it might be the worst club I've built in 10 years. I was warming up with it on the range, and it looked like I was hitting trick out of round balls or something. They were curving like wiffle balls, both directions. Wasn't happening with other clubs. So I hurried back home and swapped in the Acer, the devil known. And that club gave me the eagle putt. The iDrive shaft has 2 spines, which supposedly shouldn't happen with a filament wound shaft. I think at least this particular one is trash. Waddaya expect for ten bucks. I bet at the foundry loading dock it sells for three or four bucks.
I used my Launcher 25 wood a couple of times. Once on our long par 3, and at the time I was closest to the pin. I guess it got beat later. Next time into a strong wind and I went a little over the green but on target. Anyway it's a great club so far.
