So when I click that link it forces me to open the ESPN app, which just brings me to the main app screen, and then I have no way of getting to the documentary from there. I don’t know how they managed to make this so counterintuitive...

 I'm liking the left dash balls. All of the fairway misses except for one were just me expecting a ~20y cut and it only cutting ~10y and 3 of the bogies were lipping out putts from 2-3' because for some reason I suck at those all of a sudden.

Playing in a 2 man scramble this morning with the local Orlando golf group. 60 or so guys out here so this should be fun. Nice thing is other 2some your paired with keeps your score so hopefully cheating is at a minimum.

DJExile posted:oh bless your heart... Ya I’d like to take all that back lol I played some of my best golf today, had a natural Eagle and was just crushing my driver. We were 4 under on the front nine and birdied 10 and then just cooled the gently caress off. Finished at -5, when I left they had posted 2 10 unders and I knew we didn’t have a shot at anything. Had a lot of fun though, some of the closest to the pins on the 200+ yard par 3s were a little suspect and that 10 under was by the group in front of us who seemed really friendly with their randomly paired partners lol. Edit: they posted the results and a 58 won. Bite my loving rear end no way. On a par 73 course. Edit x2: apparently it was a mini tour pro and some stud college player. mattfl fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Dec 6, 2020 |

Not unattainable, but still crazy, especially with 200+ yard par 3s like you said. Post the course if you feel comfortable doing so, I'd be interested to see the layout.

Eagle Creek in Orlando. https://www.eaglecreekorlando.com/ We played from the whites and they had quite a few pins, especially on the par 3s in the back position. Edit: I looked up the 2 guys who won on the Florida handicap index page and they both show as being +2 handicaps. So, possible? Maybe, but it would’ve been an amazing round of golf for both of them. mattfl fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Dec 7, 2020 |

Yeah that's at least a plausible score for two high skill players from the white tees. The one scramble I've played in had a winning score of -20 from a pair of guys who are like 16/17 caps based on when I'd played in other flighted events with them.  E: the whites at that course are still like 6800, I assumed it was like 63/6400 or something

Take a look at the scorecard for probably my favorite course in the area Bella Collina Country Club - https://www.bellacollina.com/course-tour https://greenskeeper.org/central_florida/Orlando_Vero_Beach/bella_collina_golf_club_orlando_florida/scorecard.cfm This is Faldo's course he built like 10 years ago, supposedly Hideki Matsuyama lives here/has a membership and during our winter months practices exclusively here because he states the greens are as close to Augusta's in regards to speed and undulations as he can find. It's almost impossible to have a straight putt on these greens unless you are within 2 feet or so. We play from the blues here at 6920 are there are 2 farther tee boxes lol

Well I’ve started accumulating putters again, but want to raise a bit of cash for Christmas. Anyone interested in the putter I bought off of Mattfl earlier this year? I’ll try to find his pictures from earlier in the thread, it’s an answer style blade, nice feel, just realized my answer blade days may forever be in the rear view mirror.

While we're on the topic of putters, I've always been of the "it goes in or it doesn't" school, AKA 50% (yes I know that's not how stats work). My home course has legitimately *tiny* greens, and since most of the par 4s are pretty short I spend a ton more time practicing chipping and hitting 20/30/40/50 yard pitches instead of putting, my putting is really hit-or-miss. For the most part, I'm a few strokes under par on a good putting day, and a stroke or two over par on a bad putting day. This TXG video is legitimately the first putting aid I've ever been tempted to get though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88MPbDHb1s8 It looks like it is pretty substantial and can actually line you up properly and control the amount of rotation in the backstroke which is a pretty big deal. I'm just curious what the pricetag on it is going to be. If it's not more than the price of a new putter I think I'll pick it up and give it some practice this winter (now that we have 40" of snow on the ground gently caress).

5 wood from 185 and the kid hasn't sniffed puberty yet. If he keeps playing he could be monster. Was cool to hear that LJ Daly is heading to Arkansas next year to play golf, he's a loving bomber like his old man.

Maybe it’s just wild Covid depression and my brain is hungry for any dopamine it can get but watching Tiger Travino and Daly and all these other guys I grew up watching with my dad and seeing their kids do work and enjoy time with their fathers/sons is making me want to take the old man out to the track. Lotta feels...

Trevino was always fun to watch because a golf round to him is just an excuse to have a good time and talk the ears off everyone he's playing with.

thinking about getting back into golf now that I'm far less broke and not living in a tiny apartment, but still want to enjoy badly hitting golf balls while also lighting more money on fire because golfing in Tokyo is an exercise in expense. Haven't played in about ten years and was very, very out of practice and not great when I did play. any recommendations or experience with sending clubs in the mail? I wanted to bring my bag back from the U.S. with me after a visit in 2020, but then COVID happened and travel didn't.

If you haven't played in 10+ years, I'd recommend just buying clubs that are a few years old where you are now. Unless you had a full set of high end custom fit stuff, the things you can find for cheap on ebay or the like are probably going to be better than what you had and can be bought for super cheap.

Do this. I "upgraded" from some random '00 era clubs to some early 10s forged Mizuno's. Huge difference in how they play and I did not drop a ton of cash to do it. Like maybe $200 total including the bag.

I know plenty of gently used sets are rattling around (I saw a bunch at a used sporting goods shop last week) but I'm worried about nothing fitting me.
