I'm playing 9 holes in Appleton tomorrow afternoon, and playing 27 holes in Green Bay on Saturday. Sunday will probably be similar to Saturday, haven't made any plans yet. Hit em straight gentlemen.

I've played around Green Bay in the past. Where are you playing?

Nice thread! I play every chance I get... and on that note I tee off today at 4:05 pm
I've really worked hard on my game and have really improved. My biggest issue right now is confidence off the tee. I don't slice etc.. any more but it's 50 50 if I'll be 250 in the fairway or 150 in the fairway or just off.

The last issue I have is consistancy. I have issues stringer together 3-4 shots in a row. Example:
Par 5 and I hit a nice drive and follow that up with a good fairway wood...
Now I'm 30 - 50yds off green hitting my 3rd.
I'll either duff that show or I'll get on green and then 3 putt.. lol

Getting better though.

Don't know if anyone has tried teh Stack and Tilt but if you are having ball striking problems... Check it out! From day 1 this helped me out. That on top of using the Medicus 7 iron = Money.
This year I've hit more greens in regulation than I've ever hit.

My advice of the day(And it's not mine as I got this off Golf channel and it's really common sense)
It's not all about how far you can hit it.
Find the 2-3 clubs you are money at and play around them. For me it's my 7 iron (or 7 Hybrid). I hit it dead on 155-160.
So even if I can rip a ball to 50 yards from the green I will hit a club to get me in that 155range. It's easier for me to take a full swing with 7 iron than a "touch" swing with my lob wedge.

Anyone else use a GPS? I use the Sonnocaddie



Anyways love having this thread and whens the OS Scramble Tourney?



Edit: Best purchase this year for me: I got the 60

[LetsGoBucs]

I've been playing a lot more this year. Trying to get out at least twice a week. Hadn't played much in previous years, and was shooing in the low 100's. But this year, I joined the league at work and have been playing almost every Saturday. Now I'm shooting in the low 90's.

I play Callaway X-20 irons. I also play the Burner '07 (couldn't pass it up for the price). I've been hitting them well, but I actually have a nasty hook. I think it's my baseball swing taking over at times, as I will hit a bad hook and it just feels like I was swinging at a baseball.

My putting has been off and on this year (currently off!) and it is costing me strokes at this point. I have been 3 putting like it's going out of style. Need to hit the putting green...

Playing this Saturday, hoping to break 90 for the first time...

Oh man, if we could actually pull that off, it would be the most entertaining weekend ever.

[Skyboxer]

Oh yeah:
besides my Calloway FT IQ driver and Cleveland wedge..
I use Taylor Made Clones.... Just haven't been "ready" to spend the $ on a set yet until I'm happy with overall ball striking etc...
With that said.. By the end of the year I will have my new set Woot!
I'm between TM Burner's or Calloway X 20 series...

As far as my game: I'm usually around Low 90's.

I tell you what. If we would have one planned early enough I know I'd make it.... Maybe 2011 could be Year 1 of the get together

I just picked up a Calloway Diablo 5W...I really like it. I do need some new irons but I just cant spend that much right now. I have some Cobra knockoffs.

I have been playing every Saturday during the summer for about 8 years now. I usually shoot in the mid 90's, with my best score being 87 on a par 71. I can usually play well for 15 or 16 holes, but then I blow up on 2 holes and screw my round up. I have trouble letting go of bad shots sometimes, which leads to the 8's and 9's.

I have a Taylormade 580XD driver (I am starting to look for a new one), and Adams IDEA irons (which I really like).

My problem is distance. I don't hit the ball very far, so I have to hit it straight. If I am not hitting it straight, it makes for a very long day.
