I went out today for a quick nine. The course was in terrible shape. I don't know if the soaked fairways or freshly aerated greens were worse. I ended up using R11 a lot during the nine holes. Since I was the only one on the course I played two balls the whole nine too. I will give you the run down of tee shots with each ball.
2nd Hole, Par 5- My first ball went about 10 yds off the left side of the fairway. The shot was not that long, but it was the first time I hit it in the round and played conservative with it. I teed off a second ball that had a small fade that landed in the middle of the fairway. It went a bit longer than my first one, but I still had some distance to go. I think the first shot was about 220 yds and the second was about 230 yds.
4th Hole, Par 4, The first ball off the tee, I pulled it to the left. I hit it solid, but just pulled it. The second shot off the tee, hit the screws in the driver and had a beautiful flight right down the hole. This was a short par 4 (317 yds) and I had a 75 shot to the green. I think on a dry day my drives would have rolled out more. I think there was only about a 5 yd roll out and a nice ball divot in the middle of the fairway.
5th hole, Par 4- I had two beautiful drives down the middle of the fairway. I was really hitting the driver great at this point. I think both of these were about 240 yds in the middle of the fairway.
6th hole, Par 4 slight dogleg right. I ended up putting the first drive through the back corner of the dogleg. There was a bunker that was 239 out and the ball ended up about 5 yds past it. The second drive I tried to cut the corner and ended up a with a nice drive. It was just barely through the inside of the dogleg. I think this one ended up going about 230-240.
8th hole, par 5. I hit two really great tee shots that ended up drawing into the rough right of the left hand side of the fairway. I think both of those were about a 240-250 yd drive. Again the rough area was really wet and the drives had no roll out.
9th hole, Par 4, I was hitting the driver great today, so I really went after the first drive. I ended up hooking the heck out the drive and put it into the woods. On the next tee shot, I swung smoother and really struck the ball great. This ball just was crushed down the fairway. I this one ended up about 250 yd down the fairway. What a great way to end the day!
I had a really great day with the R11. I know I started off the first hole with it a little rough, but I accredit that to no warm-up. I have noticed the headcover to the R11 getting a little dirty. The white on the sides is the part that is starting to get dirty.
