ew.Anyone used Costcos kirkland ball yet? Wondering what everyone thinks. Bought a couple dozen last week when they got them in. Sold out again. Heard that titleist is suing costco over it
Golf!Shot a 30 on the back nine yesterday. Six birdies in a row. Both are bests for me by a long shot. I couldn't miss.
front was 42
still my best score in a year
Before playing today, these were my last five rounds on the same course from the same tees: 91, 101, 91, 100, 87. I managed to achieve the 100 without losing a single ball which is a good example of my awesome play that day.Last summer I shot 90 then came back 4 days later and shot 71, same course. I was 4 under after 6. Golf it's a strange game sometimes
Practice your chipping and putting and you'll drop to 82Before playing today, these were my last five rounds on the same course from the same tees: 91, 101, 91, 100, 87. I managed to achieve the 100 without losing a single ball which is a good example of my awesome play that day.
I shot another 87 today. There isn't enough time in the day for me to practice everything I need to practice. I'm doing better getting off the tee reasonably well but I'm missing far too many greens to do much better than bogey golf.
Absolutely. My putting isn't very good - not surprising since I don't spend much time practicing.Practice your chipping and putting and you'll drop to 82
http://www.golf.com/tour-news/2017/02/28/9-things-you-need-know-about-new-usgara-rules-changesFirst round of the year yesterday was an outing for my kids' school--4-person scramble. We shot 77. I thought it was going to be worse--I was playing with a mother/daughter (8yo) and my 11yo son. The mother and I started ham and egging it.
What is the new drop rule?
Enjoy!driving to Canada today for individual 2 day golf tourney. course is simply great. Fairly short for today standards but extremely hilly & narrow beyond belief. practice round tomorrow, then 2 days of tourney. Hope to break 80 both days as my handi is 7. limp back to the States drinking gatoraide & water on Sunday. Enjoy the link!

I love this combo so far, with weight. Feels like something Al Czervik would use...just get the thing aligned and let it do the work. But working on not blowing it by 5 feet.Anyone using the Pistol grip from Super Stroke? I'm going to try the weight, as I have a heavy mallet Scotty and want to balance it out some.
Only out half a tank of gas in the Ferrari on the way home? ?Anybody ever play Vegas? I played for the first time against some much better golfers--there was a 5,6 and 7. On one of the holes, I was paired with the 5 and one of the other guys drove a downhill, into the wind 375yd par 4. He made the putt and his team scored 24. Thankfully, my partner and I both parred the hole for a 44 so the "flip" didn't mean anything but unfortunately for us, the double kicked in and @ $2/point it "only" cost us $80 each.
Fun game.
Save the $$$ and work on your short game.Looking at getting new driver and accompanying woods. I need a much lower launch angle and my spin rate is waaaaay too high. Need to get down to 2500. Currently playing the Cobra Amp clubs with their stock stiff shafts. 9.5 driver that I set to closed to try to reduce launch. I'd say my swing speed is around 100-105. Was planning on saving up like 2k and just owning it and going for a fitting on the track man at a fancy golf center in the Phoenix area.
Unexpectedly I been offered a slightly used Titleist 917 D3 driver and the same model three wood, along with a Scotty GoLo, for $600. Looks like an amazing deal but the catch is that it's non-refundable and pragmatically speaking it's just not plausible to hit them first. Shafts in the clubs are very nice: Tour AD M9003 stiff shaft for the driver, three wood has the Oban xstiff 75 gram shaft. My understanding is that they are both low launch. 8.5 degree on the driver.
Anybody every hit these clubs? Reviews online look good. I do like the weight options for customizing the driver. Just not sure I'm good enough to hit them as I understand they are the professional models. Currently a ten (my weakness is that I spray a bit and generally lose a couple strokes a round to penalty, combined with not playing enough to have a really good short game). I think I'm going to pull the trigger just given how good of a deal this looks (and they probably wouldn't be too hard to re-sell), but trying to exercise some due diligence first.
Not sure I follow. My current woods are like 4 years old and are a terrible fit for me.Save the $$$ and work on your short game.
Damn. Sorry man. That sucks.Really bummed. Tweaked my back on Masters Sunday. Turns out it's stenosis in L3/L4 and L4/L5 and causing bad sciatica. Did an epidural and every kind of therapy + beer/meds to get me through Member/Guest and our 24 guy, 5 day outing to La Quinta. A month apart, the latter ended last weekend. I can swing fine but it kills me to walk. I need to shut it down. Suspending club membership until I get healthy. And I played great in both tourneys with zero practice.
I had Hazeltine lined up first week in August too. Damn.
GL - I had I think it was hip tendonitis - whatever large tendon that is deep and attaches to hip and side. 1.5 years of pain on every swing.Really bummed. Tweaked my back on Masters Sunday.

Sorry to hear that, GB. I hurt my back in January and just got around to a pain free round about a month ago. Shut it down until you're healthy again.Really bummed. Tweaked my back on Masters Sunday.

whoa. What was your investment? Looks like you won in every flight. Congrats!Had a pretty good member/guest tournament. I wish I could claim it was due to my golf game, but sometimes you have to back the right ponies.
7 flights. I had two winners but neither cashed in the final. Spent $500 on a team and won $7000. The 5 other teams in that flight went for ~$11k. Got lucky. I bought the other team for $1200 but they bought half for $600. They won $4600 and were a couple inches from making the money in the shootout which could have doubled the take. Fun tournament.whoa. What was your investment? Looks like you won in every flight. Congrats!
Glad you're back, strangerJust picjedf up the game again after a 12 year layoff. I was never good before but played 4 times a week. I've played two full rounds so far and had the goal each time to have three good holes a side, which I did. Played pitch and putt earlier this week and finished 16 over but had 6 pars, which made me happy. I'm picking up a set of TM Burners tomorrow for $50 so I have something to practice with. Will pick up some Eye 2 when I've hit a couple thousand more balls at the range. Really glad to be back.
Wow wtfSeriously???

This makes complete sense to me. Most of my rounds would be in the evening after work (course is also 2 minutes from my office) or in the afternoon on weekends. I'd be more than happy to ride at peak hours to both support the club financially and keep up speed of play (although I'm a fast walker and I really don't riding would speed me up all that much)We allow pull carts after 11 on weekends.
I think any time during the week
No caddies as far as I know. You can walk for free whenever you want.do they have caddies at the course?
I don't know what they are stopping but if you are allowed to walk and carry then the no pull carts thing doesn't make sense imo
Then it makes zero sense .... unless they claim too many people push the carts near the green.No caddies as far as I know. You can walk for free whenever you want.
