Shot a pretty decent 86 today on an easy mountain course. No need to use driver with elevation. Thanks for the chipping suggestions. I have not posted much over the years but I have really enjoyed following everyone's golf adventures.

Anyone done lessons this year? Is it worth doing if instructors keep distance? Also may have to book weeks out, I have never seen the courses in CO this full since peak Tiger mania.

Watching Bryson has been the most exciting thing for me. I love how he hits his wedges 10yrds past the hole and looks down at the club or yardage book in disbelief. The heavy work out and math talk is over done, but I'm glad they have something else apart from his one length irons to talk about now.

I want to be disappointed in Tigers showing but maybe I need to accept he won't be in contention ever week now.

Picked up the Caddytech push cart from Costco and it is wonderful. I had been using an old 2 wheel cart from the 80's that got stuck on every divot and this has been a huge improvement. Would fully recommend. Josh, where do you get your extra shafts from? I have been wanting to play around with a lower spin driver and 3 wood shaft, but I am skeptical about the quality of random ebay shaft pulls.

Had another great round, and really enjoying this new push cart. I started droping my hands pretty low at address and hunching over the ball and that has really helped my drives. Now that I can drive constantly I will need to work out my wedge approach game. Thanks Josh, I figured you would be on the WRX buy/sell forum, there is some great deals that pop up there. Currently my 3wood is about an 11 year old Callaway so it does not use a tip, just glued into the head. May need to check out getting a heat gun if I want to do the shaft swaps my self.

I'm looking at getting new irons through Sub70, and all the shaft choices have me wanting to try something new. I have played Project X 6.0 for close to 12 years and enjoyed them, but the allure of new shafts is tempting me. How risky is it to go in blind on new shafts? I have not been fitted for a decade, and was looking to not spend on one knowing I'm buying Sub70 irons. Also the weather in CO has been really good and I have already played more Nov rounds then I can recall. Not sure how I feel about this.

Josh Lyman posted:Depending on your skill level and sensitivity, I would not advise buying new iron shafts without trying them out. At the very least, go to a store and hit some shots with irons that have that shaft. I tried blindly switching from Dynamic Gold to Project X a few years back and it was awful. BCRock posted:Echoing Josh's comments - don't do this. DJExile posted:Thirding. 100% do not try out new shafts blind. Thank you for letting me know how bad a choice this would be. Will be going with the ole tried and true.

I'm not going to say that this thread has ruined my off season golf plans but now I don't know what to do. I went in for an iron fitting at the PGA Tour Super store. Pretty quickly found a good shaft for me, the KBS tour 130X. Most the 130 shafts felt good and was a lot more constant then my current shafts. I was on the fence of getting new iron heads as my current Callaway's are old and have old loft numbers, but I don't have much of an issue with distance and the older lofts help as I have a high launch angle. I started testing some new iron heads to see what they were like. Side note the Ping Blueprints might be one of the best heads I have seen. I don't quite have the skill to play them but I was very tempted. While testing around I asked about one length and tried the one length 7 iron. Best numbers I had hit all day. This just got interesting as I have always been curious about one length as I am taller (6'3) and always have trouble staying down on my short irons. So took a few swings with the one length 5 iron, and wow did it feel nice. I'm not sure how the distance compares (avg 225 yards), but it felt nice and was easy to hit. We were running out of time so I hit a few one length 9 iron shots. Couldn't quite get the feel but the fitter said the short irons take a while to re-train your brain and not something that a few shots would do. So now I don't know what to do. I know there was a goon that played around with one length clubs a few years ago, but I don't remember who it was.

This is definite not something I would jump right into despite how impulsive I can be. They just felt nice to hit, but it was only a few shots on a simulator. I'm just curious if this would be a route to explore. While getting fit I tried a few 9 and W samples and the +1/2" that was fit for 7 and 5 iron was not enough as I was still topping the ball consistently. I am mostly curious about lengthening 8-9-PW, but I don't know what length is possible or makes sense for these clubs.

Please let me know how the hybrid goes. I picked up the 5-pw set of the Sub70 699 Pro. Have not had a chance to try them yet but pretty excited. Torgeaux, what courses have been open for you? Tried quite a few but most have been closed further north by me.

Is the tour even testing for roids? I have heard from a lot of reporters they stopped testing equipment as well.

I feel you, I have been trying to tee off as late in the evening as possible and race to finish 9. We started at 6:45pm and it was still 88 a few days ago. I got signed up to play in a multi-day member guest tournament with a friend. They required me to get an official handicap and I entered the wrong dates on a few past scores and I can't edit them. I have to call the club and have them change it from what the website says. Should I bother? Do the dates on past rounds matter?

Just had one of my worst 9 holes of the year. Started off 1 over through 5 and proceeded to double the last 4 holes. The course got backed up and I just lost my game. Sucks to think through each shot I flubbed. So I bought a 19* Callaway UWood. Very curious to try it as there have been a lot of great reviews and I have not had a 5wood or a hybrid in the bag for over 10 years.

torgeaux posted:Earlier this week, played 9 holes, as I described. I'm not a 9 hole guy, it feels incomplete. But, I book as a single, and that's the way courses are. Got it. I have the same issues constantly when trying to book as a single. Some of the course websites don't even have an option to book single.

Thanks for all the posts I went ahead and got 9 holes on the books next week. Going to be great to blame my terrible swings on being tight due to the cold.

I am really enjoying the match play today. I understand why it's so rare for tv tournaments, but it's really nice to only watch a couple guys and see the full holes.

torgeaux posted:Any time we want a goon match, I can probably make arrangements to be free. Nice there is three of us then. I live north, closer to Boulder but mostly play Willis Case and City Park as they are nice and cheap. My bags is a mess and will continue to be: Driver - Callaway X2Hot 10* with some generic xstiff 3 wood - Callaway X2Hot 13.5* Hybrid - Callaway Apex Uwood 19* 3 iron - Titleist 712u 21* with a xstiff hybrid staff 5-PW - Sub70 799 Pros with KBS 130s 52* - Nike Engage 54* - Haywood Golf 58* - Nike Engage Putter - Nike Method I have as much fun tinkering with my bag as I do playing golf these days

Suprfli6 posted:The only two premier courses I’ve played are Bethpage Black (as a NY resident) and Torrey (with a SD County resident) so both rounds were under $100. Seeing some destination courses over $600 per round now is just crazy. I’m sure there’s no shortage of people willing to pay though. This is a great post as I'm in Charleston for a bachelor party and a couple guys dropped $600+ caddie tip to play the Kiawah Ocean course.
