Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 My Swing Speed this year is about the fastest it’s been in 10 years and my ball striking is feeling great. I’m tempted to get fitted for a set of Tmag p770’s but the turnaround time is like 7 weeks right now... so annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I was going to play today, but my wife's boyfriend thought I should get some yard work done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Back at it I see. Have fun Art Never stop lol. I played 9 on Easter, meh ball striking, was on fire with my wedges, probably too much spin but it’s early, and decent putting. That being said, ball striking had me at a 41, which I hated.

Morphinity 2.0 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I'm so close to a breakthrough, I can taste it. The issue is I'm having a kid in late June and I'm never going to play again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 First kid? You're still good for once a week. It's your practice that will suffer. No time for that. Second kid is once a month. Third kid is down to watching the Sunday of a major, no Valero or Houston Open. Congratz BTW!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third kid is down to watching the Sunday of a major, no Valero or Houston Open. Congratz BTW!!! Yeah first lol I don't really practice anyway so good to hear I'll be able to play regularly. I'm pretty excited to see if he's into golf at all. I really enjoy playing with my family - they're the reason I ever took up the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 bought a new golf bag as my golf splurge this year (although not much of a splurge). I do want a new iron set but I'm not sure how much it's worth it to drop that kind of money at the moment. Nothing really wrong with my current irons, they're just old and I'm tired of them. taking a half-day at work tomorrow to play and then leaving work a little early on Friday to play as well. my friend im golfing with on friday is in a similar situation to you Morph, first kid coming shortly so he's getting in as much as he can, can't say no when he wants to go lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Played twice this weekend, now to watch a magical win from Corey Conners. God bless my wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodrigueGabriel Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Anybody had a professional fitting? I'm 6'4" and have played with standard length clubs my whole life, which probably wasn't too bright on my part. Preparing to get what I expect to be my last set of clubs and figure getting them the right size might help. Anything to look for (or watch out for) in getting a fitting?

Sent from my SM-G970U using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by TapatalkThere's multiple factors, wrist to floor measurement will determine length then when they have you at the right length, they will put tape on the bottom of the club and face to help determine lie angle Sent from my SM-A515U using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I hate this thread. I live a mile away from a golf course and havent been golfing in 5 years. I'm going to have to be that guy that shows up alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 It's hard to keep the boys together. We have a group chat with six of us. 15 kids under 12 between the six. We've all been beasties since about 1988. Somebody throws up a tee time and the first three to reply in the affirmative are in. Most weeks, it's tough to get even three to commit.

I do that sometimes, Josh. Matter of fact, last week I flew the coop from the office around noon, and went to one of the Suffolk County courses (West Sayville). Two older guys (even older than me!!!) were on the first tee and I walked right on, and they told me in the pro shop I could just go play with them...no practice, no wait...no nothing! So I was like "Fuck it! Sure!" I get on the tee and one of the guys comes up to me and says "Try no to slow us down!" :rofl: I had to laugh because this old coot has no clue I'm a 3 handicap, and played in the fucking US Open Qualifier back in 2002, the first year it was at Bethpage!!! Well, by the 7th hole, he marches by me and asks me if I'm 1-under. I told him "Nah! I'm actually even par!" By the 9th he was asking me how to work the ball left and right, and by #12 he was pulling the flag for me!!! I made those guys laugh their asses off, and I even gave him a pretty awesome putting tip! Dude even made a 20 footer for par on the next hole using my tip!!! I think I might have even gotten a good blow job from him if I stuck around after 18!! LOL It's amazing how people react once you show them you know what your doing out there!! I like going solo...saves time waiting for guys to show! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Bateman Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I played high school golf and peaked around a 3/4 but now I suck and am like a 20 lol.

People always give me the benefit of the doubt though because I have a pretty good swing I hear ya, Patrick! I had some really great rounds years 20 years back, and as I got older I'm kinda struggling with my touch around the greens. I feel like if I bought my body at Macy's I wouldda saved the receipt!! :rofl: Once you have the swing though, it doesn't take much to get back on track. We just have to play more often! Covid fucked that all up for me last year. I have plenty of time this summer and I made a New Year's resolution to do just that! I'm going today to get my iron's lie and lofts fixed so I can get my shit together for some outings I have coming up. It's great to be the fun drunk guy, but it's even better to be the fun, drunk guy who just shot a 68 and won the low gross! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't play HS but before kids came I was a 5/6 playing and practicing like crazy. Now, I suck, but my swing looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Golf opened up this past weekend, and I completely abandoned my family. Played twice. 91 first day out. Yikes. Monday went much better. 39 on the front, and had an easy look at a 78 or so, which would have been tits, but went 6/6/10 on 15, 16, 17 to compete my normal blow up. Like a warm blanket. Truly, it was just great to get out with the boys, drink some beers, smoke a pack of darts. I could do that every single day of my life, it's just a shame about wives and kids.

Morphinity 2.0 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I'm about 3.5 weeks from my kid coming. I still haven't broken 80. In fact, I've gotten worse. My swing feels like it's in good shape, but I can't avoid the huge numbers that just totally wreck my round. I'm solid for about 75% of the round and I have roughly 3 or 4 holes that totally blow up in my face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
