#10 - wedge to 4 feet. Missed it.
#11 - 6 iron to 5 feet. Missed it.

Mattyv Is it OK to thread jack my own thread?

Well, sounds like you got a lotta balls, so......

Matty’s a shooter

johnnydoom two mistakes today. First trying to play golf after mowing the lawn.

I've mowed after playing 18 a couple times this summer.
It's a mistake either way you do it. Before or after.

Wimpy's...burgers...... Now you gotta go back on Tuesday?

Went around my little course 2x yesterday. Neither were really spectacular rounds. Most of it was bogey golf. I was hitting my longer irons fairly well on the two holes I hit them(5 iron) on. It was either a nice draw, or straight. Still working on hitting a draw on command. My wedge work was pretty good, especially on 2 holes. I hit my 60° to within 6" on both, one flying 20some yards to hop a couple time and stop, the other was a low running shot that hit the pin and stopped.
I ended up joining a couple buddies on #4, and we got to play through a slow group on 5. Both guys hit poor tee shots in front of the slow group, then we're half begging me to hit a decent shot to show that we played. I was fortunate enough to hit a nice high 7 iron that dropped just a few yards short of the green from 175ish out. Then I screwed up the chip.

Walterjn I know you’ve been busy but how’d the swing speed stuff with the pineapple go? Are you still doing it? Did you see any distance gains that have stayed with if if you have taken a break from the pineapples?

Typhoon I have taken a bit of a break from them. I have seen a little bit of distance gain from using them. Mostly with my shorter clubs, especially my wedges. I can send my 60° 90+ yards with a full swing. I have been keeping my feet close together for better ball contact, and I'm not chucking my wedges near as much, with my feet together it also keeps me from really swinging out of my shoes,
My driver is still my problem club as I don't get much use from it at my little course. I've taken to playing that course irons only. Hitting my 5 iron on the 2 longest holes, 214 and 257 respectively. Most of the time I'm well within an easy 60°.
Last week I did pull them out again and swing them a few times, with a bare shaft I did see a swing speed of 145. Most of the time it's 130ish.
The last time I pulled them out, I did keep my heels together, just to see what I could get to like that. I think I'll start playing with my feet together and see how that goes.

Mowing lawn before golf......NEVER (now you know)

Mowing lawn after golf has worked for me in the past. Bueno.

3rd straight 76....39/37. Same course.
Used the 3rd different set of irons and 3rd different driver(s).

And it took me an extra 1.5 hrs.

Shot 40/44......84 yesterday. Driver is getting worse, but wedge game is getting better. I 3-putted a few times as well, but everyone did. They had the greens slick for a big tournament and then tucked all the flags on slopes. The pins on #10, 11 and 12 were brutal. We had to play behind the tournament and it wound up being almost a 5 hour round..uggh.

I feel like I should be shooting high 70's, but can't seem to stay focused for more than 12 of 18 holes. Maybe I need some of my kid's ADHD meds.

76 at Timber Greens. Had 1 birdie.
