Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Had 0 range time and was really "cold" out there.

Kiss of death for my game.....Golf is a game that takes most people a while to get warmed up and get a feel for the swing and ball impact.....I don't play unless I can hit the range first.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

What's everyone gaming this year?

My setup isn't that exciting. I have an old Cleveland driver, a Taylor Made 3-wood hand-me down, a 10+ year old Wilson 5-wood, and 3-PW Titleist 804's that I love but are in desperate need of re-gripping. Not a baller setup, but I'm comfortable with it and see no need to change until my game warrants (deserves?) a better setup.

Also relieved to see I am not the only one who is working through swing issues. Some of mine I am "un-learning" for about 30 years worth of bad habits. But I am making progress and anxious to see how well or if these new swing changes take hold.

Glad to hear you were able to get back out there and hopefully your sciatic issue doesn't come back. Regarding swing issues....it's a constant struggle for all of us. Until I hit it pure exactly where I want every time, I'll be working on getting better. That should just about take me this lifetime and at least half of the next one...

I also struggle with decades of bad habits, which come out the second I let my guard down. I'm waiting for recent swing changes to feel second-nature, but until then, when you get out on that course and people are around and you have one shot at it, it's hard to trust the new swing and not just revert back to old habits (since you know you'll at least "hit" the ball, and not make a total jerk of yourself...). All I can say is tough it out. At some point, it will (hopefully) take hold and be second nature to swing the club properly. I know I'll be fighting the outside-in and casting issues for the forseeable future.

Yeah, I think most people are better if they can warm up first. I mean, you don't see the pros hop out of their car and just start teeing it up. Problem is that many courses don't even have adequate practice facilities, and even those that do, very often circumstance/time/partners cause you to do the ol' out-of-the-car-onto-the-tee routine, which isn't good for anyone. I'd say 90% of the time I never get a chance to warm up before a round, which sucks.

Traded my Covert 2.0 driver in for the Vapor Pro and hitting the ball much more consistently straight and LONG (compared to the Covert....).

Loving my setup for this year. Just picked up the irons at the end of last season and only have a few rounds on them.

Weird that my bag is pretty much all Tmag and I'm a huge Nike guy in all other walks of life, just always seemed to gravitate towards their stuff when trying things out. Can't beat the TW 13's on the feet though, best golf shoes of all time.

Driver: Taylomade RBZ 10.5
3 wood: RBZ 15 degree
5 wood: Adams Speedline 17 degree
3 hybrid: Taylormade Burner 19 degree
Irons: Rocketbladez 4-GW
Wedges: Rocketbladez 55 degree
Putter: Acuity Anser DN2
Ball: Titleist NXT

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

I love my gamers, all pretty much second hand from GolfWRx classified

Driver: Callaway Rzr 9.5
3W: Taylormade (can't remember which one, it's older though)
3H: Ben Hogan FTI hybrid
Irons: Mizuno MP 33/MP 30 Combo Set
Wedges: Mizuno MPT4 50, 56, 60 and MPT5 52
Putter: Black & Yellow YES! Putter
Ball: Titleist DT Solo

As you can see I love Mizuno. I'm going to eventually complete the set with Mizzy Driver, 3W and Hybrid.

Pretty excited, just broke 90 for the first time and the SLDR is in the bag and the convert is out!

1st off.. Congrats!!
How'd you like the SLDR? I really love mine. When I hit it pure the ball simply flies and flies and feels so nice off the face.

Yeah the ball does fly but for me the biggest thing is my miss is no longer a lost ball slice. It's a more manageable fade/slice. That alone brought the score down. Had so much fun today found my putting stroke again and was all over the holes when on the green.

You know you are exactly right. I don't even have mine set at draw. It's 1 notch towards draw though. My miss goes maybe 10 yards or so right now.

Glad you got your putting stroke back.. Mines still AWOL.. lol

My chipping and pitching are decent but irons are still 5-10 yards L/R. Once I get that and putting sorted I'll be a happy golfer

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Yeah, my chipping has really be a shock to me. I've holed out from off the green twice so far in about 4 rounds, which is 2 more than I did all of last year. Starting to get confidence in my game still hit a few too many bad shots (took three swings go get out of a bunker and yipped an approach wedge (could've been a 85 or better round). But the overall swing is feeling better all over the course.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Tiger looking a lot better. Seems more comfortable.
I'm sure he isn't "bacK' as they say but so far it's nice seeing him on the course again.

He's so hard to gauge.

Short game was fantastic, putting was so much better than it was a few months ago but still a little erotic at times off the tee.

But he also hit some fantastic drives. Really hard to tell where he's at.

Tomorrow will be a huge day for him and it's frustrating we won't get to watch him until he reaches Amen corner.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Yeah certainly had a mix of good and bad. At least he finished lol
+1 for a first round at Augusta not to bad I guess.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Tiger looked pretty decent out there today. Great to see.

And what a great send off to Ben Crenshaw...
