Par4QC From not working out seriously since Covid I lost muscle and it drove me nuts. Like you , I haven’t lost any distance. I joined my old pre Covid gym so there is a program and I’m looking to build up a bit again. Don’t think I’ll gain distance… who knows… I’m old. Not Rex old, but old. I’ve said before my goal is to not LOSE distance.

    DonM $64 which was reasonable. I'm finding the courses here to be way better than Florida condition wise and price wise. And of course with the mountains the views are always great.

    Cold day and a cold north wind, and CPO. Two holes were closed for flooding and one was turned into a par 3. Depending on what the USGA black box gives me for the two holes, I shot either 82 or 83. I hit one green with a 50 yard wedge, one with 6 hybrid, and 3 with fairway woods. None with irons, of course. 😕

    Short game was good except when I had soggy lies. I was awful there. Birdied the 18th which is a very tough hole.

    Local store has a used 7/8 iron Wedgewood for $35. I think I’ll buy it tomorrow. Alice Cooper here we go.

      DonM I play those occasionally. Originally bought them for my wife but in my struggles I've tried everything. Mine are the original version. I think they're ok. They are old school lofts and iron length shafts so will likely go shorter than you would expect at least for me. They do want to go high and straight. Some make a funny metallic sound, some don't. For awhile the 22* was an absolute magic club for me. I'll be interested in what you think.

        Played Apache Creek last Sunday. Shot 43-39. Solid round on an easy course tee through fairway with really tough greens. Vwey solid round for me lately. Worst part, paid $95 for this local goat track that should be $45 at best.

        .please see my below post for price retribution.

        Played today at, "The Nicklaus Legacy Design Course at Vidanta Puerto Peñasco" In Rocky Point Mexico today. Shot 46-46. Hit some fairways, hit some greens, made some putts. Paid $79 for this.







          Played Arizona National today. $120 but an absolute gem of a course. Fantastic conditions and great views. Robert Trent Jones Jr. Course.
          I shot 41-47-88. I was playing really well ( surprisingly). Hit every FW on the front. Only hit two greens but a couple at least I hit the green but couldn't hold the firm greens.
          I played so bad the first two days I tweaked my back and hurty wrist. Well the back acted up on the back 9 and I was getting a sharp stabbing pain in the mid back. Almost quit around 15 but struggled to the finish.
          Great day, great fun with two other really fun guys .
          Oh, and in the distance isn't everything dept one of the guys who played the white tees with me hit the driver 280 average and hit one 328. I shot 41 and he shot 52. Not sure what he shot on the back.

          .


            garyt1957 I play those occasionally.

            I have decided to not spend $40 on the old club, and buy a new Eleven Golf 8 hybrid instead. It's like a modern Wedgewood. If I like it, I'll buy 5-PW. It's time for me to do it. Irons are probably costing me 3-5 strokes per round. And the component heads out there are not what I am looking for.

              I had one of those rare days today where everything seems to be working - drove the ball well, hit a lot of good approach shots and holed a few putts. Add in a reasonably warm day with little wind and a bit of give in the ground, as well as still being on the shorter winter course, and it was an ideal day for scoring - was able to take advantage, going round in 64 with six birdies and two bogeys (it's a par 68, with no par 5 holes).

                DonM I'll have to look into those. I don't use the WW 7 right now. If you want totry it I'll send it to you.
                Edit: checked out those hybrids and yea they're more modern lofts. I saw the 8H was 35* the WW 7H is 34*.

                  Typhoon already have my chiro appointment scheduled the day we get back. It's more telling how bad my swing must be to screw it up that bad.
