Chrisrotary12 Posted June 15 Author Share Posted June 15 Made the mistake of saying “I’ve never shanked one in my life.” About a month ago. I’ve now shanked one in each of my last 2 rounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Now this is a US open. Margin for error is very small. Bryson played lights out today but all it takes is one missed shot into trouble or a bad break as the course keeps baking and it’s anyone’s jug tomorrow.

I'm surprised if you read all the media stuff they make it seem like he's got it all wrapped up. No way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Yea Bryson made a sick 60yd bunker shot on 18 to win it but Rory gave the trophy away. That’s gotta sting more than all of his other close losses and as the drought gets longer…the doubts grow deeper. Great US Open though. Loved the test.

Listened to some during our drive but then spent the afternoon walking around Niagara Falls and was pumped to the move Rory made and deflated to hear Bryson sink the winning par putt. Wish I could have watched it. I bet this is the major I watch the least of though. If the weather is nice this time of year I feel guilty sitting on the couch watching tv.

mreaves Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Holy crap. Nelly Korda shoots an 81 to miss the cut at the Women’s PGA Championship. 3 missed cuts in a row and her highest score as a professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the greatest players can struggle and lose a tick of something, whether swing related or mental, and suddenly look like just another player. Crazy game.

Chrisrotary12 Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 After 11.5 trusty years of using a Titleist 913 driver and 3 wood I caved and upgraded. Received new Titleist TSR3 driver (8*), 3 wood (13.5*) and 5 wood (18*). Hit a bucket after work today and man the technology is impressive. I found it extremely difficult to really mishit them. Even mishits still flew pretty good. Based on one driving range session: club: new (old) Driver: 280 carry (270) 3 wood: 245 carry (230) 5 wood: 225 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s taken me a bit to get used to them but I’m carrying my 6 iron 160 when I hit it right. I also realized I’d made some adjustments with my grip and ball position over the years that I don’t need with new game improvement technology for us mid to high handicappers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My irons and wedges are also 12 yrs old. A few years ago I hit a new iron in a simulator and its RPMs were half of my old steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cleared to open sun at hole 9 and the rest of the way was an incredible sauna. It felt like the DP had to have been higher than 75 out there, and probably was with irrigation and water hazards dappled around the course works. Man, the air was tinting blue against distant tree lines and there was no wind. We found ourselves hunkering in the shade while other people hit. Dashboard therm was 88 back in the parking lot but ... 88 over 77 makes the T sort of irrelevant because there's nothing about that that is "88" - -no way. 91 back down town.

Great variety of holes. Made me hit a bunch of different clubs. Played the tips and shot 79. Side note: I bought a new driver, 3 wood and 5 wood. According to the cart, I hit a 290 yd 3-wood today off a tee (downwind). That’s nuts for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me edit: technology is something… my titleist 913 15* 3wood went 235. my new TSR3 13.5 3wood goes ~260 and downwind today it went 290 on a hole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 If anyone here is interested, I’m doing one more AmericanWx pool this year, the British Open pool. If so go to the PGA Tour thread and make your picks there. This time I’m asking for 7 picks (instead of 6 picks) in addition to you picking the final score to par of the tourney winner. Make sure that your 7 picks aren’t identical to anyone who picks earlier. All scoring rules will be the same as what was used for the US Open. Deadline is 11:59PM EDT Wed 7/17. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
