i would be stoked to get a single-figure handicap for 9 holes....
-
I won our top dog final on Saturday with 25 points! That was with being one under my handicap after 7..... fell to pieces. Fortunately my playing partner played well.<br />
<br />
The group that teed off infront of us, one play holes out for a 2 (par four) on the first and then birdied the next three to be five under after four holes. Was cool to watch from a distance. came in at threee under. -
Played a corporate day on Friday. 4 ball ambrose. There wasn't a golfer amongst my group. We hit 18 straight pars, and came 3rd thanks to 4 max handicaps.<br />
<br />
I missed out on longest drive by 2m and put the golf cart into the wall and broke the steering. Fun day though. -
Boozing but not boozed. And yeah I'm getting a damage bill

I have one of them coming up next week, first time out for a hit in a while it will be!<br />
<br />
Trumpet blowing time; I played one last year where it had a longest straightest drive, I absolutely smoked one out about 310m, but I didnt win as the line you needed to be closest to stopped about 20m behind where my drive was, which was also perfectly straight too, mongrels! -
Yea. I got another one this Friday. I'm not driving the cart this week. <br />
<br />
That sounds like a cracking hit TR -

I get them now and again!<br />
<br />
I played in a one a few years back where these dudes were drunk and rolled a cart down a hill doing donuts....luckily it was a Panelbeater day! -
haha I love corporate days. Always a chance to have a bit of a fun.<br />
<br />
Golf under the influence is always pretty interesting too. Used to play friday twilight at one of my clubs years ago and always used to have a couple of beers first and would usually score alot better for it. Had 26 stableford for the 9 one night and got given the burglar calls big time by the rest of the club house. -
Fuck. Yes. Corporate day today. Weather is unreal. Not a cloud in the sky, very slight breeze, 27 degrees. Cold beers and golf? Thank you very much

So picked up a set of new irons in the weekend and went for the Cleveland CG16s. Scored an 'as new' set on trademe for an awesome price. <br />
<br />
The CG16s are delofted like quite a few of the newer range irons so the 4iron is 21deg loft meaning not much need for a 3iron, especially give my hybrid 2 is 18 or 18.5degrees. Will take a wee bit to get use to my distances with these. There is also a bit of a gap though between PW (44deg) and SW (56deg) so will need to get AW (Another Wedge?) to at around 50deg to fill the void.<br />
<br />
So now all I need is a 3 wood. Most likely will go for a callaway razr X as I love my razr x driver. -
Be nice to be good enough for that stuff to mean anything. <br />
<br />
Great day Friday, my partner and I hit 7 over which was pretty handy given our relative ability. <br />
<br />
Hit a few shots I was stoked with including a 250m+ 3-wood that was laser straight, and a 9-iron 2nd shot 1m from the pin (we fucking 2 putted for another par).<br />
<br />
But as with any of these days golf and beers were the winners -

Other thing you need to be mindful of, although possibly not so much of they have been used a bit, is the grooves, they will tear the balls and also you will find for a while (although being winter not as much of an issue I guess) you get alot more hold or spin (if you are a spinner) when deciding what to play into greens. -

I carry four wedges in my bag. 58,54,50 abd 46 (Pitching Wedge) I recommend this as it's always nice to mplay full shots than half shots. But you're a better golfer than me so I'm probably telling you how to suck eggs! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
I need to upgrade my wedges, I have the standard Pitching wedge, a 52deg v groove spin wedge with 0 deg rake for those tight lies and then a 55 deg square groove spin wedge, I do need somethign higher, could easily ditch my 3 iron as I almost never use it, and when I do it is usually form under trees....
-
Nah you are right on Hooroo. I hate hitting half shots. An extra wedge might do me quite nicely. Maybe add that to the list after the AW and the a new 3 wood.<br />
<br />
<br />
And good point Taniwharugby, had read a bit about that due to the laser milled grooves. I dont get a huge amount of spin but do stop it pretty quickly with the shorter irons. Will be interesting to see how these go. -

I thought this was it?<br />
<br />
TSF Golf day like we did in London would be good.<br />
<br />
I suggest Whangamata! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />

<br />
i second this suggestion<br />
<br />
mainly because it's the only place I've seen your fat ar$e in the last year! -
So havent managed to find the time to get a round in but have had a couple of visits to the range with the new irons and they go pretty well.<br />
<br />
Much longer than I am use to and accuracy is still there but dam it all feels very solid with the stiff shafts. Makes a real THWACK sound on connection. I think its party due to the range balls pretty much being painted rocks so will be interesting to see how they go with some decent quality golf balls.
