Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.

Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

I am ready to see some water balls!

'Hamas' Jenkins · 08-12-2011, 03:13 PM

Thanks for the laughs, Tiger. This round has earned "Keep until I delete" status along with the 3rd and 4th rounds of the 2010 Masters.

Stewie · 08-12-2011, 03:20 PM

Do you think Tiger will wear red while sitting at home on Sunday?

OK, I stole that, but thought it was funny.

kstater · 08-12-2011, 03:20 PM

Who hasn't played in 6 weeks?
Who was just standing on 16 tee 4 over?
Who just had a chance at a career best?
Who just tripled two of the last 3 to shoot 81?

That's right this guy.

**** me

Historic choke happening right now.

I'm going to laugh my balls off if he 3 putts.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 08-15-2011, 04:05 PM

The Pingification of my bag continues.

I'd had a Sonartec NP-99 3 wood in the bag for about three years, but I really struggled hitting it off the deck, especially on the uneven lies I often get in the fairways I play on.

I just won an eBay auction for a Ping i15 3 wood with a UST Axivcore stiff shaft for 101 bucks after shipping.

Yesterday, I completed a transaction with a guy on GolfWRX for two Ping W wedges, 54 and 60 degrees, for 70 bucks.

I'm gonna get the 54 bent to 56 to better deal with this firm, clay turf, and I think I'm going to send the 60 off to Ping to have them do a custom grind. I'm probably gonna go with the TS.

I almost pulled the trigger on a couple of new Callaway Jaws wedges with the Mack Daddy grooves, but I've heard they absolutely shred balls, and I don't want to ruin a tour-caliber ball every time I hit a wedge shot.

Here's a link to the 3 wood.

I never was a club/tech guy but my dad has more clubs sittin' around then Cotter's has pills.

I played 9 holes today and I somehow shot a 37. I developed this thing about 10 years ago that when I start my takeaway I start to lose the club before it even starts up. It's like a shocker to then brain and once that happens you have no chance of control over your swing. I clutch to stop it from happening but that just speeds up and shortens my backswing. It's awful! A true golf swing abortion. Some how I didn't wiff a shot.

philfree · 08-27-2011, 07:37 PM

My Ol Man is pretty smooth for 82 years old. Told me he shot 79 the other day. Of course he put the caveat on it that it was from the yellow(sr) tees.

He has a very nicely balanced finish with his weight ending up nicely on his left side/foot.

kstater · 12-02-2011, 03:55 PM

Tiger and K.J. putting on a show. Hopefully they can do it all weekend. Only 7 guys under par, yet those two are 19 under combined.

kstater · 12-02-2011, 04:08 PM

Heh, they both put it in the drink after I post this.(And then K.J. puts his 3rd in the drink again.)

'Hamas' Jenkins · 12-19-2011, 03:04 AM

RockBottomGolf has an amazing deal for the next eight hours if you are looking for new wedges.

Scratch 8620 milled chrome wedges are 50 bucks with free shipping. These babies were originally 120+ almost everywhere. They have a variety of different grinds and bounce profiles, like Vokeys.

I just picked up a 56 and a 60 in a low bounce configuration (Missouri clay) and after a coupon code it was 95 bucks.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 12-31-2011, 02:02 PM

My new gamers for next year: fully restored, Eye 2 + no +'s. I'm going to re-shaft them with True Temper Black Golds with Lamkin N-Dur grips (all white):

Total cost for the project:

Eye 2's: 197
Restoration: 104
Shafts: 59
Grips: 24

Total: $384

Braincase · 12-31-2011, 04:13 PM

Didn't play as much this past year as I had hoped. Still hoping I can shave a few points of the handicap this next year. Getting out with my kids will help. Oldest daughter should be varsity as a sophomore on the Lawrence High team. My son is being expected to be a frequent contributor on the LCC Junior Team.

Nice.

I got out yesterday for the first time in over 6 months. Figured I'd test my back, and it held up walking 18. A little tight today, but no major lingering effects.

It was windy as ****, gusting 35, I 3 putted 6 times and still shot my 2nd lowest score in the past 3 years. I forgot how much I loved my Mizuno's - now I just need to decide if I'm sticking with my current driver or making a change.

Going to Alabama for Spring Break to play 5 rounds in 3 days. Can't wait.
