braveheart It can stay with the rest of herd today quite well.
Concur…it performed pretty damn respectable during yesterday’s round…I don’t even know what loft it is…says HT on it…and the shaft is Prolaunch Blue 65R
How did you shoot today at Golf
I think those older Burners from 07, 08 were superior to many of the models that followed them. @rsvman2 and others (
) have played them well into the next decade.
DonM Same here, been 90 the last couple rounds. (I've been told, by D-I-L, that I cannot play in the heat any more
). Going to be close to 100 a few days this week.
Longest drives I've had in over 6 years. Makes me look bad using the front tees. But impresses the hell outta the 'kids'.(cart girl was nowhere around each time
).
Played yesterday. 81. But a damn good 81. Not sure why it wasn't 71.
Hit a ton of FWs, but again, few GIRs which I really don't care about. Only 28 putts with 1 (super rare) 3 putt.
Hit some absolute bombs with the new Smoke driver. Still getting used to the high launch of the irons, but distances are good with them; just need more. Every other club has taken on a new life, whether from the heat or something in my swing. More distance across the bag. Hit a 3wd from the rough on 1 hole and it went farther than my drive did; and it wasn't short! Told the guys yesterday, a few times, 'I can't hit this club that far, but I'm using it'. Then hit a couple over the green. Think I'm going to quit questioning it and just play.
Got paired up with some young fella. Played from the tips at 6800. Name must have been 'John"....shot around -5, with a couple bogies. Never mishit even 1 damn shot. A lot of those birds were from 1 putts under 5'. And he was complimenting me on some shots.
Long 5+ hr. round though. Got caught up behind an outing where we had 4 groups on 1 tee on #6. And the other 2 guys were ended up playing with were the slowest I've ever seen. Walked/carried like my long deceased grandmother might do.

Better round this morning…beat the heat & it only took 3.5 hrs.
Got paired with a 76 year old gent who used to be the mayor of Del Rio…just a great damn guy…his 2 grandsons (early twenties) were also in the foursome with us.
9 pars, 6 boge’s & doubled 3 of the 4 par 5’s due to pulling my drives into the junk (lost ball penalty on all 3 of those holes).
Shot an 84. Really thought I was gonna potentially break 80 for the first time but oh well.
Ping i E1 irons are legit…just sayin’
Happy Father’s Day to all of you clowns!!!
Eguller Had 3-4 that were on the fringe. Another 3-4 I tried putting from off the green around 6' or so, but that didn't go well for most of them.
Just now looked up the iron lofts and thinking of getting them bent a couple stronger, in order to get me on the greens.
If I just swing faster I'll fall over. 
Another day of par 71. I shot 82 with 4 balls lost. Two of them were courtesy of my 6 hybrid on par 3's. That club cost me 3 to 5 strokes today, depending on how I look at the alternative reality that didn't happen. 
It's time to stop using hybrids. At least I hope I can. The 6 iron won't fly as high but the bad shots are nowhere near as bad.
7 greens, 32 putts. No three putts. I didn't have my best iron game, but a lot of the damage was the effing hybrid. I did birdie the last hole with a fantastic drive and wedge to 3 feet. Our team got dusted and a lot of that was due to me.
45/45 today. Boring round. Missed too many greens fairly badly and then didn't have much chance for par. Seemed like I bogeyed nearly every hole. Four gir. Pushed sliced the last 3 drives well right after hitting them pretty straight the rest of the day. I guess it was time to get off the course, lol.

9 holes today before work and after running at the gym. Used the G400max driver today. Driver, no matter which one , hasn’t been treating me well. Hitting it all over the face. Decided to slow down and smooth it out. Hit it much much better.
Hit all 9 greens in regulation, both par 5’s in 2. Shot -4. Putting is still not there. I keep trying different putters, just gonna stick to one and work through it.
The feel off the Vapor Pro irons is OMG good. I thought the Pro combos felt good but these are on another level of soft feeling.

The Mrs and I at Wildrock Canyon in Wisconsin.
Wide fairways with bunkers everywhere (alot of which I found).
Greens had more undulations than most I've played.
Made a couple bombs to save par. 2 natural birds....78

Hotter than hell here today....mid 90's.....but I walked 18 anyway......should have listened to Mrs. Fatshot who "strongly recommend" that I ride (but I'll never tell her that!!). I shot 40-41-81 at Eagles Landing GC in Oregon, OH.
Nothing exciting......No birdies, 6 GIR, 32 putts.
Another off day today. Decided to get to the course early and actually practice everything before, usually I'll hit a dozen shots, chip a few, putt a few, but I wanted some extra practice to get off to a good start.
WRONG! Bogeys on 4 of the first 5. Just wasn't sharp with anything. +6 (42) on the easy front nine. Then finally had a little success on the back +1 (37). Missed 3 short putts (Rory length) which was quite annoying.
This was my first round in a few years with no PXG in play. Left the Gen 5 driver and 22* hybrid at home, and the 60* wedge. Added in an old Geek DCT, a really old TM Rescue mid 22* and an old Tommy Armour Atomic 5w. Geek DCT was solid, although a bit more fade than I like, but it was plenty long.
