Fore! Who's playing golf, yo-

[4matic]

Also, played with a couple Korn ferry guys, mid 20’s and fly the driver 340 all day. These fuckers drive it green side on 400yd par 4’s, crazy.

Yeah, I played with some div1 college kids a few years ago. It’s a different game.

The altitude isn’t really that big a thing.
Often it’s in the 60’s temp wise. So the evaluation is canceled by it being cool.
What’s hard about Colorado golf is the wind and changing conditions.

You can tee off at 9am and it’s calm and the greens hold by noon the greens start to firm up, by the 3pm it’s usually blowing 20+ with gusts and the greens get hard as rocks.

It’s a lot like the links courses out on Long Island.

This happens to me all the time. Standing on the par 3 tee and I say to the guy scoping the yards to the pin "It's 173". Guy puts the scope down and says "173.4" I don't have any +/- 14 inch swings in my game.

If I'm inside of 100 yds I do not want you to tell me the yardage is 63 or whatever.

Laser is most beneficial for ancillary distances: traps , front of green, layups, carry distance.

I don’t mind first to the tee calling out a flag yardage. It can help speed up play.

I like the number to the pin, as aging causes depth perception to decline so it really helps. I pace every putt as well as most chips.

I am usually an the only one in my foursome with a GPS. Any par three I’m giving g out front, middle, back distance.
I give my regular cart partner the sane at his ball. Definitely speeds things up.

The distance is essential on elevated greens, no matter how good one's eyesight is. Having only some or none of the pin visible is a pretty tough shot so the more info the better.

[Leshphilling77]

Keep sitting in like the 81-85 range and just can’t seem to be able get lower other than the one off round. The shots are all there just seem to yank a few too many tee shots off the mark and leaving a couple too many putts out there per round from what I feel like I should be. Frustrating game that golf.

[Hopeless Sinner]

I came to the conclusion that my new found strength is causing my short iron issues(it couldn't possibly be me, lol.) Can't sense where the the clubhead is anymore so LOTS of inconsistencies and many low, pull hooks. I'm playing today so might try some punch 6i to so I can at least get an approach shot headed towards the pin, distance be damned.

I’m too in shape for golf is a good flex

Kinda ironic if you ask me. (It's not an unknown phenomenon, btw) Hitting d and 3w better than ever but can't hit a 9i.......more gir w 5i and and hybrids than 9i, 8i, and 7i. The good news is more on course short game practice.

Why not punch a 9i? Shortening backswing should help control your irons

[Iowagriz]

Got my first Eagle yesterday. 5i from 168 out, downhill (only way for me to 5i from that distance). Bounced it about 10 yards before the green and rolled it in.

Had a good chance to break 90 for the first time, went +8 on the last 3 holes for a 94.

Had a 3-day golf trip to Eastern Washington last week. Played Apple Tree, Canyon Lakes, and Wine Valley, and shot 87, 85, 86. Wine Valley was definitely the nicest course out of the bunch, definitely worth the trip if you're ever in the area!

Might be better to take an extra club and choke down to raise the effective swing weight, I have a rather abbreviated back swing as it is. Took a lesson a couple weeks ago and he had me turn a little deeper into the backswing apparently the club was too much out in front and too vertical at the top of the bs.

I'll keep WV in the memory bank, although it looks like former hun habitat.

That’s awesome! Don’t feel bad about the wheels coming off. After my hole in one I shot an 11 on the next hole and carded a 55 on that nine.

[shroom]

played 36 at the coeur d’alene resort last sunday for a friendly tourney. nice course but spendy. played circling raven a bit south of there saturday for a birthday, for the money raven is pretty killer. i really just like the palouse scene too. broke 90 at CDA for the first time in a minute. i’ve been swinging more than once a week lately which has helped with consistency and i’m starting to score a bit, but long ways to go. having a caddy at CDA also made me realize i can’t read a putt for shit.

missed my gamble trip this year but got to play bear mountain and the muni in chelan two weeks ago for a bachelor thing. back on circling raven tomorrow before the wedding

If I'm inside of 100 yds I do not want you to tell me the yardage is 63 or whatever.

You'd knock 5-10 strokes off your game if you could get to the point where you feel the complete opposite. A 63 yd shot vs a 53 or 73 yd shot from that distance is like hitting the fairway vs being in the trees off the tee...costs you a stroke

I want to know exact distance until I'm less than 40 yds where I can use my eye and be spot on.

Learning the clock methods to hit 40-50-60-70 yd shots is really easy and helps more than people realize

If you can take it a step further and have a clock setting for a standard wedge from 40-50-60-70-80 and also one for flop/open face shots then you're dangerous around the greens and won't be as intimidated by pin position

[Cisco Kid]

Do you need to know how many feet between you when you toss someone your car keys? I've hit 1000's of shots of less than 75 yds in practice and rounds when ranger finders were not allowed. On the course, I hit my spot more than 1/2 the time.
Yesterday I shot 83. No birds, 1 double. Had 5 GIR's and 3 putted one of them. Got up and down for par 6 out of 9 times. When I can get my GIR up to double digits I'l be able to shot my age. Right now I'm blocking my full swings. Gotta fix it.

After I played another 9 with 3 40's somethings hitting 2 irons 240 playing music and trash talking. It was a perfect day.

Yes you need to fix the first part, don’t change the second though!

Average GIRs on the PGA tour is less than 12. Crazy stat.

They play crazy setups and all of those balls on the fringe count as a missed green (I think they should count those as one half at least). On a normal setup like we play those guys will hit 15-16 greens easily on average.

Wedge shank showed up.
I’m freaking out.
