I kinda liked Fossil Trace when I played it. Granted I was playing really well so that probably skewed my perspective a bit.
I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

Cowinkydink. I just picked one of these up yesterday after playing with a guy that had one. He had a #2 ) and it felt really good. Gonna re-grip mine today and see if I putt decent. 3 putted seven greens early yesterday and couldn't do shit until it all came together and I shot 1 over on the last 5 holes. I'm sure I'll be back to my usual erratic self next time out.

I think it is, to some degree, beyond ones control. The most irritating round I ever shot there was while I was playing really well. The funnel greens and random mid-fairway bullshit can't really be calculated for. Nothing like watching your ball miss the fringe by 3” and hang up while some hack in your group sprays one 40 yards left of center that somehow manages to trickle to within 5' of the pin. There's one hole where the randomly leave a big patch of 2nd cut sitting just behind a hill in the middle of the fairway. I've played much tougher courses, but none that rewarded fewer good shots. It's the golf equivalent of playing mine sweeper on 999.

41-43 Today. Borrowed clubs on a course I hadn't played. The yardages play a bit different at 5000' vs 500.

No penalties. 3 shanked pitches got two up and down for a Bog. I did practice chipping on the fifth green for five evenings with the nephew

A new grip or putter change has worked for me. I even went left handed for 5 rounds. Here's another method.
Orlando, Florida, May 1942: The deeply tanned tour pro rapped his three-foot putt towards the 18th hole, only to watch it spin around the cup and finish on the lip facing him. It wasn’t the first putt he had missed that day, and his playing partners looked in every direction but towards the broad shouldered man who was now bent over, shaking with anger and glaring malevolently at the putter in his hands. Suddenly he stood up and walked off in the direction of the car park behind the green. The other players watched disbelievingly as Ky Laffoon opened the trunk of his car, removed a pistol and proceeded to shoot his putter three times, shouting: “Take that you son-of-a-b—! That’s the last time you three-putt on me!”. -A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

If you don't have a gun
After one particularly bad day on the greens, Lafoon drove 400 miles to the next tournament with his putter tied to the rear bumper of his car. The reason? He wanted to "teach it a lesson."Another tale is told of him running off the green and holding the offending club under the surface of a pond, shouting: “drown, you son-of-a-b—, drown!”A few people feel the rain.

1.5hr course lesson on Thursday.
Started pretty ugly, but as warmed up (and initial hype subsided) started hitting better.
It was a lot of fun!

no. i was stupid and playing with someone new and we were playing semi-ready golf. it's a wide, shallow green and his tee shot was almost off the green, his second still away but on the other side. i should have just waited because there was no reason to be playing ready golf. anyway, i rushed the entire process. he's good (currently 7-9 hdcp i think) and we will be playing together somewhat regularly and we talked about it. he said unless there is a need to hurry, away always putts first in his groups even if it's the same guy three times. he's super chill with a long golf history and the dad of my kid's best school buddy so it's all good. also a snowboarder!
also told me peter jacobsen and matt groening went to my boy's elementary.

Yes???
Forgot to mention best part was I played the front with my 10 yr old son who is really starting to strike the ball well. My first round with him this year.
He plays in a youth league and just started his 3rd yr. He's only had his league twice this year and is already much better than he was at end of last last year. Kid's gotta swing now and it looks like he's gonna be a player before long.
We played with another father/son twosome on the front...55 and 80 yrs and they were great. They played a scramble and the old man was hilarious. I'm really competitive so playing a round with a smile on my face the entire time is rare and really great.
Wife and daughter met us at the turn to play the back.If it's green, smoke it...if it's pink, poke it

That's awesome. Unfortunately my kids are not athletic at all and don't enjoy sports. Sounds like you have a future pro on your hands.

45-38 at the TPC Stadium Course in Scottsdale today with a double-triple start...wtf, golf?
On a side note, I absolutely love my Srixon irons, put together a mixed set with 565 4-6 irons and 575 7-W. Any of you looking to get into a new set of irons would be remiss to not give them a swing.
Heading out to Quintero early tomorrow. This time of year is great in Arizona to play top-end courses for less than $75. You just have to tee off before 7 or risk dying of heat stroke.

I demoed a Callaway Apex Pro 16 7 iron and liked how it felt. The demo guy had me try the Steelhead XR Pro an didn't like the feel at contact. Demo guy agreed that they weren't as workable. The demo guy asked me to watch his tent while he took a bathroom break. When he was 10 yards away coming back I called out to the the folks on the range "ANY CLUB IN THE TENT FOR FIFTEEN DOLLARS!!" Demo guy laughed and gave me a couple of sleeves of balls for helping. "These are about a 75 compression". I told him I'd been called an old man in worse ways. Fun day.
