Nice!

Nice looking irons… Congratulations… If you don’t like them PM me..:D

Congrats! What do you use now?

I heard he also won the Celebrity long drive contest this week with a 347 yard carry.

Callaway Mavriks that I was fitted for last year, with Fujikura Pro 2.0 graphite shafts.

I played my first competitive round of golf in probably 6-7 years today. I played a Club Championship Sr match and lost 3-2. My putting was horrific. There's not a 3ft putt I can't miss:shake: After the match was on I had the ball in position to win but my putting....ROFL My opponent played well and he deserved to win so congrats to him but oh my....my putting...ROFL

Everybody hates losing but I enjoyed being in competition.

Anyone use any online golf instruction? I'm joining https://www.cogornogolf.com. I've found his video's help me the most on YouTube. Him and Clay Ballard but Clay Ballard infiltrates your email and annoys me more. $59 a month and going up to $79.

My hope is I can get down to a 1 handicap again. After picking the game up again last April, I've gotten down from a 11 to a 5 but still a ways to go.

I'm a 26 ROFL

But my last two rounds Monday and yesterday at the same course, I shot a 43 on the back 9 on Monday and a 46 on the front 9 yesterday. So that's an 89 unofficially. The lessons i took the last two years are really helping, I just need to avoid the blowup holes and improve my short game and think I can shoot in the low 90's with the occasional high 80 round.

Take a look at Eric Cogorno's videos on YouTube, has alot of great free ones. He's great at explaining things and illustrating the feels of what you need to do.

yea welcome to golf, all i gotta do is.............

I'm such a terrible golfer, but I finally bought some decent clubs and I've been practicing with a net. Compressing the ball always seemed counterintuitive to me and I just never got it. I've been watching videos and doing a bunch of drills and it started to sink in.

I've had a bum shoulder for weeks, but today it finally felt well enough to hit a few hundred into the net. OH BOY something with it clicked in my head today, and all of the tips and instructions all started to make logical sense. I was striking the ball like I never have. I've never been able to hit a hybrid to save life, and today I was bombing them almost as far as I hit my driver. It made me understand why people are able to hit those shots so far, with such little effort power-wise.

Anyhow, I swear I shaved a few strokes off my game today...when it finally all sorta "clicked" Can't wait to go play this week.

This won't help your game, but I put a dashcam in my golf cart. This time of year in Florida, May to October, is the tropical season (hurricane season to most). Basically it can rain any afternoon. Friday 7/2 we only got in 3 holes of golf, Friday 7/9 we got in 15 holes. To try out my dashcam and to use the free Windows video editor, I put together a 5 minute video of one such short day of golf.

The Villages is about 60 miles northwest of Orlando and 60 miles south of Gainesville at the intersection of I-75 and the Florida Turnpike. We have 12 championship golf courses, 10 of which are 27 hole layouts and 40 executive courses of nine holes, there is more golf holes here than anywhere in the world. Everyone here owns their own golf cart, population is 135,000 and they estimate about 75,000 golf carts.

Only took one day for this week's Bryson controversy. After a middling 1st round at the Open he went to the press conference and said the reason he struggled was his 5-degree driver "sucks"... and then Cobra responded. LMAO
