SLGC, Stroke, First round of Club Champ’s.
Wrist still giving me problems, Handicap out 4 strokes, My last 20 rounds all up against my Cap. Played off 23.
Reviewing a grip video during the week I realized I had let me grip slip a bit, made an effort to straighten up, it worked!
Pared the first two holes and apart from two bad holes (6 on a par 3 & 8 on a par 5) couldn’t do much wrong.
Drives were mostly off-center hits, on the clubface but still mostly OK. Chips were mostly long..
Came in with a score of 66 to be placed second overall
That’s GOLF You just never know where it’s coming from.2 users liked this post.
My memories of Mt Compass are of a pretty course and a very big black snake on hole #4!
The Rough has been thin a lot
and I would not get too far off the fairways on warm days
It’s only a ball !Mount Compass GC (SA). Top course in great condition, love playing here. Off the Blacks which made it a bit tougher.
Started well but fatigue crept into my game and big fade out on the back nine.
On this course, you need to stay on the fairways or risk losing a ball, which I did mostly on the front, coming in with 17 points.
But after going for a big drive on the 10th only to find a fairway bunker, then the scrub which led to a wipe. Next hole, cracked a ripper low drive into the (light) wind only to hit the ground hard with my next shot, causing lots of pain in the wrist. My game went downhill from there.
One of the Par three’s, 201 meters into the light wind, hit driver and put it on the green about 10 feet past !
Lost too many balls on the back nine and came in with 11 points.
Great day with good friends.1 user liked this post.

My first match play. enjoyed the game but my opponent had to give me 13 strokes, he wasn’t happy!!1 user liked this post.
SLGC Stab. 36 First time over thirty in four months, which is when I injured the wrist. Handicap out three shots, which helped. I’ve reached my soft cap and will slowly work out a bit further. working out how to play without too much pain from the hand. Drove well most of the day, chipped average, made some putts. Played safe a few more times than normal, worked out, might have to do that more often.
Always good to be out.3 users liked this post.

not expecting any movement south till the Wrist improves..+5 and missed the cut at Muirfield. Doesn’t help on a short tighter course.
I watched his 10 on one hole. Tried to “muscle” it and put 2 out of bounds.
Here’s how it went down, shot by shot.
Tee shot 279 yards left into a water hazard.
Penalty stroke.
Attempting to reach the green, he hit a fairway wood out of bounds, on the wrong side of a boundary fence down the right side of the hole.
Penalty stroke.
Attempting to reach the green again, he hit a fairway wood out of bounds in the same vicinity as the previous shot.
Penalty stroke.
Attempting to reach the green a third time, he hit a fairway wood well right near the previously noted fence. It bounced off the cart path multiple times and settled just short of a water hazard.
Pitch onto green, leaving him 29 feet from the hole.
Lag putt to three feet.
In the hole.1 user liked this post.

how jacked are his lofts if he needs a 47 wedge and a PW?
His driver is 5.5
ha…so on an avg 4 degrees jacked. Prob trying to make up for the lack of shaft length 😛
Driver: 325 yards7-iron: 205 yards – driver
3-wood: 295 yards
4-hybrid: 275 yards
4-iron: 255 yards
5-iron: 235 yards
6-iron: 220 yards
8-iron: 190 yards – 3W
9-iron: 175 yards – 5W
Pitching wedge: 160 yards – 4H
47 degree wedge: 145 yards – 5H
53 degree wedge: 127 yards – 7i…clearly we have a club gap issue
58 degree wedge: 110 yards – 9i…same issueFFS!
I’m glad you did those distances… saved me posting mine. I just say… Ditto
how jacked are his lofts if he needs a 47 wedge and a PW?
I was of the belief that a PW was around 47/48 degs. His PW must be at about 44 which is basically a 9i. If that be the case then it would suggest his 4i is lofted somewhere between a 2&3i.
thought std PW were 46 so prob not far off your estimate. Pity even so, 2i does (his 4i) doesnt go 255 yards….what a beast
4i @ 18°
5i @ 22°
6i @ 25°
7i @ 29°
8i @ 33°
9i @ 37°
P @ 42°
G @ 47° (A
S @ 52°

Found the link, ALL lofts Jacked UP !
