shawn306 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 got mine from golfsmith.com for $550 used. P-9 (even though the website said P-8! score!) also got a SW from my uncle. I have the driver and a rescue club also (22 degrees). don't like the rescue club much. I've been playing Tommy Armours since I started to play for real about 3 years ago. Was it just the iron set ? or did you get the hybrids as well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn306 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 i detest hybrids, i can't get under the ball with them (i'm rarely in the fairway). Really ? I love hitting the hybrids. I could never no matter how hard I tried hit a 3 or 4 iron. I have used them for long putts off the fringe, and some chips as well. It is a really versitile club. I just try and swing it like a five wood and just sweep it off the ground. I hear that though from alot people so it doesn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're hitting an 81 you can hit the ball better with a broom than i can with any club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afosomf Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 i detest hybrids, i can't get under the ball with them (i'm rarely in the fairway). the hybrids were designed to be hit like an iron so maybe you are playing them too far forward in stance, play them in middle and watch it go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And JGBs, same goes for you. I need your income as my retirement buffer. Speaking of retirement, I made the mistake of checking out an IRA account I have with Fidelity Investments - I've lost another $4.5K in less than a month Put it this way - good thing I'm not retiring any time soon or I would be F'ED! Plus, I'm too old to marry an old man with money.....sh*t! Why did I have to be so darn bull-headed....maybe SJ was right? I should have been making sammiches for the honey instead of taking the train into Boston so I can work like a hampster on one of those silly wheels - going 'round and 'round and 'round.....

Alk Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Well I survived yet another year of the Roadkill. Despite my face and neck being sunburnt beyond belief I'm in one piece. Both courses were incredible and I donated several balls to the golf gods. The highlight of my golf weekend was on hole number 6 at Swope Park. A 150 yd. Par 3. I had been playing like complete garbage to this point. I hit my tee shot and it's headed for the left fringe. I turn around and walk to the cart in disgust. Then I hear the other three guys in my group yelling. I turn around to see the ball roll past the hole about 6 inches away stopping 2 feet from the cup. Apparantly when the ball hit the fringe it got a nice kick to the right and put me in position for a birdie putt which I sunk. Unfortunately that was the only highlight of the weekend. The best I could muster after that was a bogie on the second day. At least I had something to talk about on the trip home though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alk Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 so today you are admittedly a redneck? sounds like fun alk Yes, I'm most definately a redneck today although the burn seems to have faded a little bit since this morning. The coolest part of the first course we played was all of the golf carts had GPS on them. Now mind you it doesn't do me a damn bit of good to know how far the pin is but the other guys seemed to like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Of Bavaria Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I still don't have a good feel for my Calloway irons so yardage does nothing for me. Nothing worse than the infamous, "Damn it, I was going to hit a 6" when you put the shot with a 7 short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing worse than the infamous, "Damn it, I was going to hit a 6" when you put the shot with a 7 short. I had that problem this weekend. I'm just flat out horrible. We had a fairly long Par 3 where an average golfer could reach it with an iron. I pull out my 5 wood knowing that I'm not hitting worth a crap. Sure enough that time I actually hit it like I was supposed to and blasted it completely over the green. Had a similar situation where I was in the fairway. An average golfer could have goteen to the green with an 8 or 9. I pull my 7 out of my bag and actually connected again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
