79 at Tarpon Springs. No birdies, but had several chances. We went out first at 7:00 and were done at 9:43. Just two of us and we had a twosome behind us.

The same guy thanked us again for playing so quickly. The best clubs in my bag continue to be my fairways woods. Hit some beauties today as well.

garyt1957 how's that new Eleven hybrid? #7 wasn't it?

First I had the 8, then I bought a 7. I loved the 8, but the 7 is too flat, believe it or not. Anyway I figured out a setup problem that was hurting my irons, and now I'm hitting my irons a lot better. So no need for the 8 hybrid right now.

      I played in a geezer scramble today. It was the MGA event this week. A NET scramble, which I have never heard of. I don't know how they calculated the strokes but we had 11 of them. We had 7 birdies and 1 bogey for 66 gross, 55 net. We won. So now I can no longer say I've never been on a winning scramble team! 😃

      Our D player had a lot of old infomercial clubs. He had 4 Square Strike clubs, and a couple iRT-5 hybrids which I had never heard of.

      Do you find these hit higher than irons? My buddy who’s 84 can’t elevate his irons anymore. I told him about the Eleven hybrids.

          Played the slumpbuster course near me AND moved up a tee because I wanted to hit more short irons. It's only rated 68.4/111 from there. Shot 37-41-78. Got tired on the back because I hit a million balls besides the one I was playing. Had about 21/2 sets of clubs with me. Didn't hurt -anything which was a plus as last time I was swinging so bad I hurt my knee, back and wrist!
          10 Fw , 7GIRs, nothing special but a light at the end of the tunnel. My only irons next round will only be wedges.

          I realized that yesterday was maybe my best driving day ever. And being a scramble, I was swinging 100 percent. This is not supposed to be the way.

          I think it was more about a different mental approach to the shots.

            The idea that there are no real consequences when hitting a bad shot in a scramble is freeing.

                garyt1957 That must be it. I was in the zone. Every drive was 90th percentile or better. That’s nerdy, but it’s the best way to describe them. There has to be a way to get there again.

                    DonM Have you tried recreational drugs? Not completely joking, I suffer from the same problem and wonder if that helps?

                        I suggest reading, believing and trying to implement Bob Rotella’s books ( his philosophy).
                        Get out of your own way basically. 👍

                          sdandrea1 7 clubs in the bag. Driver, 4h, 6h, 9i, W, SW, putter.

                          Backed off to give them a chance. 🥴

                            KCee I tried CBD for tournaments to see if it would relax me. Jury is out. I think it might have helped a bit.

                              DonM Tell yourself you have a mulligan in your pocket every time you tee it up?
