Thinking another lesson next week. Practice makes perfect mate. Should binge the Rick sheils videos. My chipping constantly let me down. Watched a tonne of his stuff and got the handicap down from 28 to 15 from the beginning of last summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickie1963 2,370 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Bogeyed the last 2 for an 82 yesterday. Normally I can move on but for some reason I'm still annoyed. Especially the last. Decent drive. Good lay up it's a par 5. Shanked the bump and run into the trees. 17 th good drive. Not a great 2nd but 3 putted from just off the green. Played off 3 in the 80s but loving the golf more than ever.

mitre_mouldmaster 21,510 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Whats everyones thoughts on custom fitting? Got a custom fit a few years ago for clubs. Ping irons and Callaway driver. To be quite honest, I genuinely dont know if I find it any advantage whatsoever. I think I would just adjust the tiny fraction to make it work. Sure the shaft stiffness will obviously count, but you can usually tailor that without going full custom fit. Im tending to think that its a bit of gimmick with minimal gains that is used mostly to get you to buy from a shop rather than going online and picking up a bargain.

Caldwell is the closest course to me ive yet to play. Going to soon, maybe even tomorrow. What is that bit over the road from the clubhouse? Is it just a big practice area? Do you buy balls for it or what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you hit your balls and collect them You hit them up towards the hill then go grab them. There's a bunker and chipping green, there's a driving net at the first tee too. There's also a live video of the tee off that you can watch online for when you slice it into the trees Great course mate. First par 3 is amazing, watch for the streams ready1873 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ready1873 3,902 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Been needing new irons cos I've been using old Titleist 690.CBs with stiff shafts and they're fucking brutal. Unforgiving as fuck. Opted for Callaway Mavrik 22 steels. And a Callaway X hot 3 wood tae as needed to fill a gap. The 5 iron on the mavriks is 21° fs! The 3 iron on they old Titleists was 22°. Is that just the way modern irons are made? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie0202 12,563 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Controversial opinion but I would ban for multiple reasons the use of wee straight lines marked on the ball in order to be used while putting. dummiesoot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackg93 458 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Looks like Koepka will be taking this one barring some collapse. Means since Mcilroy has won a major in 2014: Koepka will have won 5 and overtaken Mcilroy (inc today) Spieth will have won 3 Thomas, Morikawa, DJ & Rahm will have won 2 I don’t see the likes of Scheffler, Rahm, Morikawa and Thomas slowing down - they could all feasibly overtake Mcilroy in majors alongside Koepka.
