Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Went out for 9 today with my new TaylorMade RSi 1 Hybrid/Irons –Graphite and holy crap I think I am in love. I was absolutely on point anywhere within 140 yards. I still need work with the Hybrids but I had a few great shots with them. I am working on changes in my swing and when I put it all together I got some really great shots.

I am pretty excited about this season and just focusing on improving my game.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Got out for a quick 9 (first of the season) this past weekend. Hit or miss, really. It was bizarro-world out there, because I couldn't drive the ball for crap but my irons were pretty well on-point. Have no idea if that will continue, but I'd frankly be okay with it if it did. Putting was solid as well. Weird all around....

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

My season starts on Friday. Also, I was at the driving range today and my new M1 driver and 3 wood are ridiculous. I can't get over the distance and forgiveness in these clubs. I was happy with my swing considering I haven't swung a club since November.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

I got my second round of the year in, but my first 18 hole round. Back in February I only got to play 9, but Saturday I got in 18. Course was a bit rough. We got a lot of rain last week, I was actually surprised they opened, but it was drier than I thought, but 12-14 we're awfully wet. Normally I'm a cart player, but due to the wetness we had to walk.


After my early February round... I traded in my old R15 driver, and my Aeroburner driver for the M2. I was tired of carrying around 2 drivers. I was tired of fighting with adjustable clubs/weights etc and I usually hit the Aeroburner better than The R15 anyways. So, the M2 was my choice.


A bit of a long story here but I have to laugh at it now after the fact...


Front 9, I was extremely impressed with my round. I was driving the ball well. My irons were solid, even my chipping game was good and usually it's the worst part of my game. I carded a 43 on the front which included a 6 on one of the par 3's where I put my tee shot into the water. My only awful shot of the front 9. That par 3 is my nemesis on that course. In all the years I've played there, I've played that hole well maybe 4 times! lol It's all water along the right side, elevated green which is fairly large, but I'm almost always in that damn pond. It's been in my head for years, and it just kills me. I think the best score I've ever posted on that hole was a bogey. lol


For me, at that particular course I was more than happy with that score. Course is relatively flat, but I'd say probably 13 of the greens are built-up/elevated, so you've got to be pretty accurate with your approach shots or you're going to have some tough chips ahead.


Before hitting the back we stopped for a quick hotdog, and a beer. First 3 holes on the back, my drives... AWFUL.


#10 tee shot, topped the ball, hit it about 50 yards. Thought, ok, that was awful, I'll bail myself out with my 3 hybrid which always bails me out. Did the exact same thing! Took an 8 on the par 5.


#11.. topped another drive. Bailed myself out on my second shot, then sailed the green on my approach. Ugh!


#12... Par 3. Just missed the elevated green pin high to the right with a 5 Iron. Duffed a chip, two putted. Ugh!


#13... I barely caught the ball with my driver again. Bailed myself out with my hybrid again though. Approach shot... missed the green right again.


#14... long Par 3, playing into the wind. Took out my 3 wood, which I've maybe hit twice outside of the driving range. Had the right distance, but was WAY to the right. Managed to get on with a good second shot, but of course 2 putted again! lol


I'll spare the rest of the back 9 details, but I did get somewhat back on track after that once I got my swing back off the tee.


So there's my first bi-polar round of the year, a 43-49; I'm happy with 92 for the first round but wow, what happened on the back after my play on the front, I was just beside myself. I couldn't get out of my own head after 10 and 11 and it just kept snowballing on me. I have no idea what happened, but that little 10 minute break between the front and back just killed me. I think a lot of too was having to walk the 18, which I don't normally do and for it being my first round of the year it was more of a struggle than it should have been. I know I was really dragging myself through the last 2 or 3 holes, but the problems started far before then.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Well, the weather got up into the mid-80's today in Connecticut, so I had no excuse NOT to play golf. After going to the range for the first time this year, I ended up playing my first nine of the year, because I was impressed with how well I was hitting balls on the range. I shot a 47 at a course I've only played once before, a score that is good, but not great, for me. I was great with my wedges, and I hit some drives over 300 yards (with the little help from the wind). But, my biggest miss is a block out to the right, and I tend to do it the most with long irons and the driver. My putting was atrocious, and my aiming points were a little off. I hit a couple perfect wedge shots, hole high, but like 10 or 15 yards right. More work, and more rounds, will fix that, hopefully. All in all, it was a pretty good day. I averaged about 280 off the tee, which is a step up from where I was last year.

Great decision.



Damnit, accidentally went low today in my first round at my home course. Have five rounds in elsewhere and shot an even 36 this afternoon. All downhill from here.

I am really looking hard at the m1, I'm glad to hear you like it. I've also heard good things about the Nike Vapor Fly. Right now I am using the Nike Sasquatch 460 and I'm hitting it straight but I would really like more distance.

I'm working out of town and I just found a golf course where I can do 18 with a cart(after 5) and 12 chicken wings for $25. Gotta love it, especially since I'm not paying for it.
