I just picked up a taylor made mini driver (12) and new wedge set (48,52,56) and am hoping to shoot in 70's more. I was able to break 80 three times last season. Still trying to get back to where I was my senior year in high school. Its been frustrating as hell knowing how good I was only 5 years ago. But i'm playing smarter now then I ever have.
Have a 15 degree stiff shaft taylormade superfast 3 wood, 19 degree stiff 2011 taylormade rescue, raw vokey 52, raw vokey 56, cleveland cg12 60, and taylormade tm 180 putter with superstroke fatso. Need a new driver and irons, not sure what Im going to get but my course should be opening within the next month if the weather stays nice so Im gonna need to start looking for stuff
It sounds like our local course is opening this weekend. I'm pretty stoked. I'm hoping to hit 80s relatively consistently and hopefully have a game or two in the 70s
I'm hoping to get out more often this year. It's just hard with work and other activities. If any of you want some good clubs that haven't been used much check out my thread I have some for sale. ID keep them if I could play more
Trying to get into some bigger am tournaments this summer. I would love to play in the North Carolina Amateur, The Carolinas Amateur, and the NC Match Play Championship. I missed the Carolinas by a few shots last year. 85 man sectional qualifier for 18 spots and 4 under took the 18th spot. Some pretty stiff competition there. All of the sites this year are good so hopefully I can check some more courses in the Old South off my list.
Definitely want to get out more this year. Each summer since school started I've worked more and more and my golf time and game has taken a hit. I'd love to get back to around what I was shooting a few years back when I was on my high school team. Even if I don't get back to where I was, I always still have a great time golfing.
KimJong-Illest2nd season golfing and my goals to be a lot mor consistent so far ive shot 47, 47, and a 49 this year. Not the best golfer but im trying.
It's best to play 18 hole rounds. Nine doesn't give the best indication of overall skill or consistency.
Waiting for the snow to melt so I can head over to Dave's putt putt. What color balls do you guys choose? I always take the yellow ones kuz they look like lemons. Also, I can never get a hole in one on those damn windmill holes, any pros got some sneaky tips? I heard if you 1 shot that hole Dave will buy you a mini cone
Last year i worked at a course and got to play a round with a cart for $3... Not sure if ill work there again cuz i usually end up getting pissed off when i play golf
CameraWizI just try to put the ball in the hole but the ball never goes straight.
Try to close the face of the club in next time. I have gotten couple of birdies last season at big sky but most of the time im bogeying out. I consider it a accomplishment if I can keep the same ball for 9 holes.
I went and shot 9 holes the other day for the first time in a while, I didn't get out at all last year. It was brutal, I shot a 55 on a super easy course. Sank a couple of decent puts for double bogey. Ha. Oh well golf is a hard game you have to keep up on your skills or they vanish.
Ever since high school golf ended I've lost my motivation to really push my game to the next level. Regardless, I plan to be out there a lot this summer. I've only been to the range once so far this year, but I'm going again this weekend. Once I get my driver (X2 hot) figured out again, I'll feel confident enough to get back on the links.
I got a whole new XR set a couple weeks ago that I was hitting terrible but now that I've gotten used to the new stiff shaft on it (used to play on some old ladies shaft clubs) and club, they hit amazing. Also I'll be pretty damn stoked to get consistent mid 80's this year.
i feel you. 4 years ago i was in low 80s and high 70s consistantly, then i didnt play much the next year and its been a struggle to get back ever since then. its really just a social thing now for me
I want to play more than I do, but I've been fishing a ton lately. I should probably play more considering I live on a private course. Also, golf season is in the winter down here and the courses are empty in the summer.
My goal is to just play a round this year. I played 1 round 2 or 3 years ago and it was a couple before that. Used to play 36 holes a day. I dun fell off hard.
Hoping my happy gilmour swing is still there although I broke one of my favorite drivers while I was drunk doing one the last time.
Can't wait to get around the green. Love chipping and putting. Probably won't play though because I'm lame.
We'll see. Just got to my parents house for a little and they live on a little 9 hole. If my wrist starts feeling better I might try and go out here a couple times before I leave. I miss golf.
Been getting into golf more lately. I'd call this my second, real season but third if you count me learning with a set of shitty hand me down clubs. First game of the season was a couple days ago and my drives are pretty straight and pitches pretty close to target. Wanna try and get my comfortable with my hybrid clubs this season. Seem like an untapped tool in my bag.
