How did you shoot today at Golf

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.

Big fat stinker for me yesterday as it was just one of those days. You know the days of putting where even your good putts find a way to miss and the shots I hit perfectly managed to just miss the green - had several shots that I hit exactly the way i wanted but the end result was not good I always say its better to be lucky than good and I had no golf luck yesterday. Having said that, I have had many day where I thin approach shots and they end up working out and mishit putts that find the hole because the read was slightly off - its a funny game for sure

-3 for 9 today. Poor off the tee direction wise. A lot of left rough and low. The regular flex Paderson is either feast or famine. I think I’ll give it amd the SIM head a rest and take out the Qi10/Diamana that I have yet to hit. I have a few scrambles with a friend of mine coming up in a month so worst case I take the G400 max.

But today I used the i500 irons again. Really hit them well, even the 3/4 wedge I hit on the last hole. Had one sort of crappy swing and it still was on the green.

After a round where I could do no wrong played like dog poo today and nothing was working but the driver....42/41 , 1 shy of my high score for the season at my course from said tee box .

Weirfan You suck

Agree. He should take two weeks off then quit the game.

Typhoon hahahaha. Probably is, and I'm cutting it way down. I'm normally hitting a shorter club than MOST of the guys I play with, most of the time 2 clubs shorter.

Delayed update- Played last Wednesday the Rookery in Rehoboth Del on vacation. Course was in great shape. Shot a 47 on the front (which is good for me!) with a memorable Eagle on hole 3, a 300 yard par 4. Drove the green with a drive my GPS had pitching at 280. Based on the pitch mark and where I ended up, it had a look on the way by the hole. Had about a 50 footer slightly down hill but relatively straight and I holed it.

The rains came as we were on 9. We took a 25 min break in the clubhouse while the worst of it came down. Played the back 9 in the drizzle. Shot a 55 for a 102.

87 - which is not a bad score for me. Had 14 par or bogey holes with a string of 5 pars on 2 - 6. Shot 41 on the front, 46 on the back. My new ball is the Wilson 50 Elite. A Buzzer sent me an assortment of balls to try last week and that was one of them. Good off my driver and irons. Not a lot of spin on chips and pitches, but I suck at those anyway. Ordered more to try from Amazon and played them exclusively - losing only one. Expect them to go out of production any day now.

You da man !
