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 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 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.

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.

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.
