Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Some updates to the bag.
Just got my Titleist GT2 16.5° Fairway wood today. Beautiful looking rig. The GT drivers are solid, but the fairway woods are rockets.




A month or two ago I actually swapped in a SM10 D Grind 60° in favor of the HiToe 60° that I had become so used to. Was actually a solid move for what I do with the lob wedge.



Now just waiting on my new P770 short irons to be delivered in a couple weeks.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

The Plantation Course at Kapalua is as incredible as advertised. Pictures and what you see on TV during The Sentry do not do this course justice.

How do you like the 7w? I just picked up the 430 SFT 5w.

The 430 product line is awesome. If I wasn't a head case/obligations and had to play a full product line of woods it'd easily be the G430 woods.


As far as how I like a 7 wood, it's the perfect club. I always fought with a 3 hybrid on getting ideal height. Then in 2020 I put a G410 7w in the bag on a random suggestion, had no idea what it was going to do. When it comes to total distance, under ideal conditions, 7w and 3hy are the same. I just need to rely on roll out from a 3hy, which isn't reliable into greens. 7w for me is my 210 carry club, my total distance with that thing is like 215 at most. I hit it so high I've literally gotten it to sit in its pitch mark. I love it. More amateur golfers need to seriously consider 7 woods. I do my best to get more in people's hands.

I love my 7 wood. Had a PXG 0211 before it broke at the hozel. I now have an 0311 XF.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Well, won our sales contest to make the pilgrimage to Oakmont, PA again this year. Kehlis is going to be mad at me. What a delight it always is. **** that’s a hard track though. Gonna be an absolute bloodbath at next year’s US Open. Heard some rumblings about the Saturday set up, dear god.

Well Wednesday we got 9 holes in, I shot 40, and then watched it thunder and lightening, with no rain, for the next few hours, squashing our back nine plans.

However, after a nice filet over dinner, a bunch of drinks, and a late night on the porch just off the house by 18’s green, I got a quality range session in yesterday morning. Something just felt right. I bogeyed #1, and just settled in from there. Fired a 39 on the front, felt great. Come in with a 38 with 11 putts on the back. Something special happened. I’ve shot three straight 83’s there. Didn’t know if sub 80 would ever happen. But the golf gods gave me a 77 with everything coming together.

Some views. The view from my bedroom window yesterday morning was pretty sweet.

Nice! How far did you drive it on 18 (or whatever that hole is where the tour guys are piping it like 400+ on the rollout)?

I have been thinking about putting a 3-hybrid in the bag to cover my 190-200 "hole", but I'll consider the 7-wood as I generally don't hit hybrids all that well for whatever reason.

Thanks for the photos. Looks amazing.

Amazing round! If I ever went sub-80 at a Championship Course, no one who knows me would ever hear the end of it for the rest of my life. Heck, I went sub-80 from the white tees at my local muni one time and busted everybody's chops about it for months afterwards.

Hybrid is a solid play, but if you struggle with them or tend to miss them left at all, it is definitely worth giving a high lofted fairway wood a shot.




It really was crazy. I'm down to a 5.9 these days. I have gone 79, 77, 79, 79, 80, 80, 84, 78, 78, 79 over the last 5 weeks, so I'm feeling good. But to be able to do that on a track that difficult was an out of body experience. Just one of the days where everything was clicking. If I had that game at one of my local courses, I'm probably shooting level par or a couple over. Obviously my boy BP who was on the bag helped a lot in terms of lines off the tee and pace on the greens. But it was still crazy. I've had a couple 74's this season, but that's easily my best round this year and probably of the last couple years.
