87 is good, you got it in you, now you just have to figure out how to do that more. 81 is my best this year and 100 is my worst .:laugh:
My buddies tell me and I know my putting is off the charts bad
I also play tense with unfamiliar players so I need to chill out somehow.
When I play tense I play really bad

Yep , tense is no good. If i have a good round going i have a tendency to think bad thoughts on the tee like don't hit this left in the bush and low and behold left in the bush i go. :laugh:

I stiff arm my drives and skinny my irons when tense.
Weird but I still like playing :laugh:
A lot
 
Drove out to Sycamore, IL this week and got fitted for Sub70 irons. I've never been to a fitting before, so it was a pretty cool experience. The fitter was a former golf teacher, so I got some swing advice while we figured out which ones I should go with, and ended up with this set:

639 CB Forged Black Irons | Sub 70 Golf

4-PW, x-stiff, presumably pin-seekers.
Sweet looking sticks :thumbu:

I had that done for the first time ever last year with the Titleist TSI 200's . It was pretty cool getting them custom fit and it helped my game, sometimes.:laugh:

Cannot wait for the golf season and the semblance of normality that it brings, if only for a few hours.
With all this snow we won't be golfing until May but yes totally agree. Not having to wear a mask will be very nice also.Last year i played my 1st game here March 18th and last game November 3rd .:eek:

Noice... !!!

I dropped for a set of Mizuno JPX 921's last year... fitted at Golftec...

Best money I ever spent... between Golftec and those new irons I gained enough ability back and confidence back so I could shoot multiple rounds in the 70's half way through the season...

Good luck with yours... I've heard good things about your set...
 
Turns out I'll be going out there to get fitted for a driver as well.

In other news, make sure you look around to make sure you have enough space for practice swings on the driving range. In particular, make sure there's no concrete pillars behind you.

Your driver committing suicide right after you upgraded your irons didn’t happen by chance. All part of the Golf Gods evil plan.
 
Two days ago...

In honor of my expecting a loss by the Jets today....

I ordered Pro Tee System tees... a Red Polo... black PGA Tour pants...

and a black Nike hat... all on Amazon Prime... delivered earlier today...

So I at least look like a winner...

Losers...

My motto for golf, if you can't play good at least look good.:laugh: TravisMathew shirts, pants and shorts are very good quality and comfort. Same as G/Fore and J Lindeburg , they aren't cheap but sometimes you can get them on sale.:nod:
 
I got the word that my European golf tour with my degenerate colleagues is back on for the first week of September in Portugal. We did Scotland for years but went to Spain the last time. This event plus my now 13 year old son wanting to join the junior program at St B has motivated me to get back at it at Golftec. The main thing I have to do this season is find a new practice facility since Southwood’s access came with being on a waiting list for a membership.

I think what I need to do is find a nice place to play 9 holes of gold and do it way more often. I also need to fix my body flexibility issue. With aging comes severe reduction of range of motion.

Either way I am going to sit down in the next week and make a up a comprehensive plan to be ready for Portugal. By ready I mean to golf just good enough to allow myself to have more fun.

I think the Junior category is full at St.B if he hasn't signed up already, that and the intermediate category. I'm not 100% on that so you should call St.B on Monday but that's what the president of the club was telling me about a month ago. Hope you go on that trip, it would probably be a blast.:nod:

I submitted my application early and reached out to Steve. I have followed up a few times since the renewal deadline has come and gone and Steve finally got back to me and said “they are just trying to finalize their numbers and he’ll get back to me next week”?? He should have been able to give me an answer the day the renewal option lapsed but he has been either gaming it to give the laggers time or slacking. Disappointing and kind of unprofessional. My kid has lots of buddies there. This is an easy no if its full.

Alright, the weather is in the 40s. What are the courses waiting for?
Here we have to wait for all the tonnes of snow to melt, then the course to dry, then hopefully be able to use the bridge that goes over a river to the 1st hole.So probably mid May.:mad:
