  1. How was Oconee? I play there tomorrow. Played Great Waters on Friday, National today. Great Waters is the easier course, just stay out of the water. National has better fairways (right now). Both courses have phenomenal greens.
  2. At Reynolds Plantation this weekend. Played Great Waters on Friday, shot 91. Played the National today, shot 87 with 2 birdies. Was this close to an ace. Ball mark is about 18" from the hole. The greens here are ridiculous. Not a single weed to be found.
  3. This is the path of a married golfer with kids. LOL
  4. Chicken fry it. That's the best way to eat wild turkey.
  5. The National and Great Waters. We depart on Sunday so we'll probably try to play another course that day (if they can squeeze us in).
  6. Yeah, Bubba is really in good form - should be a favorite at Augusta. Phil is playing well - don't count him out. I don't see Tiger winning but you never know. Justin Thomas - can he do it? Spieth's putting is too poor right now for him to win IMO.
  7. You nailed it. Short game. It's 60% of your strokes - you do the math. I started working on my short game a ton - once I get my irons figured out, I expect to be back as a single digit handicap. Lots of chipping and pitching. Every angle and shot you can imagine - flops, chip/roll outs, long carry pitches, etc. Get a good shag bag of 30-50 balls and spend 1-2 hours a day just chipping and pitching. Your scores will come down in a hurry.
  8. After some research, I THINK I have figured out the issue. My old clubs have a more upright lie. By 0.5 degrees. You wouldn't think that would matter, but from what I've read online it does. And my range session confirms that (at least for me). So, I think I will need some range time to figure out the new clubs. Mostly, this should be accomplished by standing a little bit further from the ball. Let's see if I can adjust to that. I hate that feeling though (I like to be more "on top" of the ball with irons). So, I'm going to get my swing checked out by a pro and get their opinion. May end up having my lie angles adjusted.
  9. Yes. Monday practice round. 1st year entering the lottery. Taking my 73 year old dad for his first trip there. We are playing Reynolds Plantation the weekend prior so it should be a nice trip.
  10. Headed out Thursday for Georgia.
  11. Okay, I snagged some 714 AP2s with Project X shafts yesterday off craigslist. They are in great shape, and I'm super pumped. Took them to the range, and they are taking some getting used to. To avoid major mishits I have to stand a little further from the ball than I did with my other irons. Other than my major swing flaws, is this usual? Or do I just need to spend some time getting used to them?
  12. Agree. Hopefully it will get changed.
