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.

                  Well, I played The Links at Las Palomas today in Rocky Point Mexico. 48-46 but this round is not getting carded. Apparently the course has been under restrictions because of a water shortage. This is one of mt favorite courses and for the 1st time ever, it was dog shit. We had to find patches if weeds with preferred lies to have any decent lie , from the fairways. Such a sad site. This is the only picture I took. The rest if the holes would have broken my camera.

                  Gawd, no golf for me since I got back home from Texas. It was 16° here this morning when I checked at about
                  9 AM. I'd like to go south again but when it gets nice here it gets very nice... and it will be 90° + in Texas.

                  76 at Timber Greens. Had one birdie. They had a shotgun start today and we went off on #11. Got paired with a guy who is a combat veteran from the Vietnam War.

                  Was shot thru the neck with an AK47 and survived. Battling 3 different types of cancer from Agent Orange. Invited him to join us next Monday. We managed to dodge the rain today.

                  First round of the season was fairly sloppy…to be expected with the swing change I have going on…but I am happy and can definitely see the benefits as compared to the past few years…especially with the irons & wedges.

                  Just got into too much trouble from the tee box today on several of the holes…too many pulls into trees and junk on the par 4’s & 5’s…but did have 5 good drives and managed to hit 2 of the 4 par 3 greens.

                  Shot 47 front 43 back…5 fairways hit & 6 GIR with a total of 35 putts. Missed two short birdie putts dammit 😡 and two long ones that were low percentage makes anyhow.

                  I am a firm believer in the @LogicalOne graphite iron shafts after just this one round on the course today…

                  …I have not hit my irons as high and far as I did today for I don’t know how many years…I know that it is the 85S shafts soft stepped once (for me at least) more so than it is the heads…but the Alpha C2 forged heads do indeed feel great and are more forgiving than I expected on mishits (the mishits I did have today were mostly toe) and these irons just flat out inspire confidence for me at address.

                  @LogicalOne putter (#3) performed very admirably today…rolled it very true and I really do like the feel & swing of it…I just couldn’t read a line today for the life of me and rolled several too fast on the front 9…adjusted and did better on the back but overall had too many 2 putts today…but zero 3 putts for the round was a bonus. Really liked the Flatso 2.0 today…pretty sure I will need to put one on my Scotty now.

                  @LogicalOne L1.XCW wedges are $money$…had a bunch of respectable pitches & chips with them since I only hit 6 of 18 greens today 😂…definitely gonna like these babies more & more once I get a couple more rounds in with them. 💪

                  Again, the most impressive part of my game today was the iron play…I can’t get over how much I am loving the damn ball flight…no kidding I am talking probably 10-15 yards further with more trajectory & no ballooning…okay enuff already before I jinx this shizz…
