What did you end up with shaft wise?

Tensei CK Pro White 70 TX

It's the same shaft that I have in my 3 wood. Still have a fitting in a couple weeks and will see if anything else works better.

decided to give it ago this morning after the 1st 3 holes it actually warmed up it was -3 when we started. Greens were frozen and was on temp greens.


We got round to the 12th and from about 160 I've hit my shot to about 10 feet. Green keeper decides we can move to the greens and moves the flag to the green ... I was like f u now I have about a 30 yard pitch... Guy from about 50 yards away pitches onto the green and just bounces through the green as they were like concrete.


Overall was a good walk about but winter golf kicking in and isn't fun,

(We played as a 6 ball as no one was out on the course)

39-37-76

3 birdies, no doubles

Off the tee was great again. Struggled with the irons a bit. Was +4 thru 7, then moved it to +1 thru 13, then bogeyed 3 of the last 4. Hit driver twice. First one was on a par 5 and had a 4 hybrid in. Managed to get it on the fringe and two putt birdied. Next one I had 198 downwind for my second and hit a 6 iron to 20 feet. Extremely tough putt left and I sent it 8 feet by but made the comeback putt for birdie.

37-37-74

2 birdies, no doubles

Completed the double bogey free weekend!

Went to a trackman range today. Was fun some of the numbers were a little funky though at least I thought.

Then we went onto a sim which was fun. Friend who set it up though set it up on a super tight course in Turkey. For someone who hits the ball straight I don't think I hit a fairway ... Normally I hit the ball right to left but I was just basically getting block right shots.

Inside 120 yards I was pretty handy though which isn't uncommon for me.


It's only 20 mins down the road on a normal day however major road works make it a 50min drive now. So will wait until they clear before going back again.

Got out for my first round with Arccos yesterday while on the road for work. I got the package with the Link, but forgot it at home so used my phone for detection.

For reference, I'm currently a 19.8 with pretty absurd flashes of inconsistency (shot 77-108 on back to back rounds last summer).

I shot 46-47--93 with 5 pars despite only 1 GIR. Had 3 "chaos" holes where I made two triples and a quad, two doubles (one 3putt, one a pretty tough par 3 into the wind where I missed a 5 foot bogey putt), 8 bogeys.

My handicaps for the round:
Driving 19.8
Approach 30 (dumping an 80 yard shot into a creek is apparently frowned upon; was hitting a decent amount of weak pushes with irons)
Short Game 20.6
Putting 4.5

PROS:
Arccos detected every full swing and short game shot with zero issues. I had to make two edits on those, one where I just stone flubbed a chip and it went 8 feet, and so it assumed the next shot was still the same shot, and the other where I used my club to rake a ball out of some rocks and it thought that was a shot.

I LOVE all of the data and info, as a stats nerd. I also love the "visual" scorecards you can look back at and see the location and distance of every shot you take in a round.

CONS:
It was not great at detecting putts, and I was pacing off all of my putts so that I could manually enter the distances. If you use the Link, you can use it to set the exact pin location, which I like for sure. With using phone, you can manually drag the pin, which I was doing for rough estimates, but pacing off putts to enter the correct distances. On the plus side, I think that can help calibrate speed, but can be tricky to do quickly if playing in a foursome without messing up lines, etc.

Overall, I am very much looking forward to using it more. I do think I can use it to help target game improvement areas (though I knew my shots from 50-100 are currently at a 0 level for some reason), as well as overall strategy (I KNOW that most golfers underclub, I think that I adapt to that, yet EVERY approach was short for me EXCEPT my one GIR). But even if I don't gain a shot, the added enjoyment of immersing myself in the charts and data will be well worth the investment IMO.

Monthly team play: 41 - 44 = 85

This one is actually a miracle. After the gym in the morning I felt a slight tinge in my left big toe, but it wasn't bad at all. Start the round off ok but not great, and start feeling the toe. By the 8th hole it was hurting pretty darn bad to the point I was limping. By the 10th hole, I could barely walk. I was in so much pain, and really started hacking it around. Actually still hit some good shots, but without being able to put weight at all on my left leg/foot, I had zero power, which was tough on a windy day. I would have quit, but the game that day was all four balls.

On the 18th hole I putted out early and immediately went to my car and to the emergency room. GOUT. I'm 41 and it's not 1885; who has gout?!?! Turns out a lot of people, and I'm one of them.

The kicker: my team actually won.

Yikes. I'm on the IR as well currently. I hurt my back about a week ago. Was filling sand in a divot on the 1st fairway and by back twinged a bit. Got through the round but it was tough getting up the next day. Fast forward a week and I pulled or strained an oblique muscle. Hit it close on the shot too! Just went to the range and at 80% it was tender but not really painful.

no golf injury to report because i haven't played in three months
heal up guys

+3 for 9 holes first time hitting to actual greens today. They were pretty soft out there.

Played this guy who's a similar skill level at match play. He went 2up after 3. Got it back to level after 5 then 1 up on 6. On the 8th he got it back to level. I win on the 9th. Pretty swingy match

34-38-72

4 birdies, 4 bogeys

Of course I go out and swing the club easy for the first 8 hole or so and shoot 34. Started feeling better on the back and started hitting full shots.

Having the correct driver shaft is all the difference in the world. Although I was up a tee today I hit all three of the par 5s I hit driver off of. 8 iron, 6, iron, and 4 hybrid. All 2 putt birdies.

Forgot to mention, the 19 handicap in our group had a hole in one today. For someone who doesn't drink often, being 2 beers deep before noon is something!

hahaha

37-37-74

2 birdies, no doubles

We started off with 4 people, 2 were playing so bad they quit after 3 holes. The perks of living on the course I guess. Since they left I played skins vs the guy who had the hole in one yesterday. I was up 8 through 8. It dropped to 6 but then back to 8. He pressed and I won every hole after that so I finished +14.

Since it was just us and stakes were small I hit driver on every possible hole I could. Of the 10 holes I hit driver 7 would be considered "good". Progress.

love it
i witnessed an true 25+ hc thin a hybrid off the tee on a flat 165 yd par three, land the ball in the rough 15 yards short of the green and links-style sweep it left to right into the cup
we were the first group out on the day, and the dew line tracer ending in the cup was ridiculous

On repeat, 37-37-74

4 birdies, 1 double

Finished birdie, birdie, bogey, double, par, birdie.

The double was me trying to cut a significant distance off of a hole. There are tall trees, I didn't make it.

38-39-77

2 birdies, no doubles

Interesting day. Teed off and it was 65 and partly cloudy. By 5 I was sweating a bit with the sun out and 70. Get to the 7th fairway and the wind went from zero to 20 just like that. Temp started to drop a bit and it rained from 13th to 17th. Was in the 50s when we finished.

37-36-73 +4 - 40 points,

2 Birdies, 2 Doubles



I'm guessing you guys don't play Stableford, Normally low to mid 40's gives you a shot of winning. However today the top 3 scores were, 50/47/46 points pretty mental

you're right, it's not as common here. some clubs may play it in certain events but stroke play is typically the method.

Yeah figured, Just to give you a reference though I'm really happy if I can achieve 43 points playing off 9 around my course, I don't think I can do much better than that. So when I was playing with the guy who had 46 points I knew I was out of it.



72 today +3

2 Birdies both 2's, No doubles

No doubles and two 2s is a nice day. We like.

2 weeks from today will be playing golf in Florida

41-38-79

1 eagle, 0 birdies, 1 double

Pretty damn cold for me, around 50.

no wind, no rain, that's shorts weather

KJ - is that a score from somewhere in colorado? still playable around those parts?

Game is a mess
PGA West Nicklaus

43-48

Course was great.

Putting okay.
Hitting behind the ball too much.
Haven’t had a lesson or much practice over the last two weeks.

Back on the horse tomorrow.
