I also have to fight a pull hook or over-draw with mine. They are the only iron that I've been able to play with the face aligned properly to the target or even a hair open at address. Even then, if I don't make a proper turn on the downswing, I can hook them. Most other irons are the opposite. I have to hood them a little at address to prevent pushes.
Wow….. I actually KNEW Mike Strantz way back when. We worked together on the greens crew at a small, country golf course out in the sticks. I was a school teacher just starting out, and he was a high school student at another nearby school. We and the rest of the crew played many rounds after work, starting on the 14th hole (right next to the maintenance building), and playing wherever we could find an empty hole! Good times…..He was a great guy, and I was sorry to hear of his passing way too young of cancer….
Sounds like some great memories!
Huh? What did you say?
You are a card Mr. GS
Nice to hear!
Yes it is nice to hear.Nice to hear!
Appreciate the sentiment, but HUH? Are you intentionally leaving the grandson out or did you get the days mixed up?
I got the days mixed up, having it Saturday.
Oddly enough, I’ve never played one of his courses…although I’d like to !!! After high school, Strantz went to Michigan State University in Turf Grass Management, and in the summer of 1979, he was doing an internship at Inverness here in Toledo during the U.S. Open.
64.9 rating 109 slope, so, to be scratch, you’re best 8 of the last 20 scores would have to in the 62-67 range. It’s fun to be able to go low, but going that low is not easy. So, here’s the thing, if you move up and your scores don’t go lower, you got other problems IMNSHO. At the muni at 5300 yards, I potentially can hit 12 approaches with a PW or less. If I play the 5600 yard combo tees, it’s down to 8 approaches with PW or less. At the club at 5900 yards, it’s 5 potential approaches with a PW. I think the average on tour is 7 or 8 approaches with PW or less. Want the potential to score like the like a pro, then take your average driving distance times 24. Play the tees closest to that yardage and have fun.
They don't make a course that short.
love the last 2 lines - if I do that the yardage falls right between the yardages of the 3 combo's my course has next year - so looks like I might have picked the correct course and gold tees to play next year and have some fun
. It gets better shortly afterwards amd I’m fine the rest of the day.
One of the flattest greens on the course is set on a severe downslope so it looks like it’s sloped from back to front when it is slightly sloped from front to back. Putting from the front to the back of the green it looks uphill, but it’s slightly downhill, so most people run their putts 6-10’ by. It’s shear trickery I tell you.
Very sorry to hear of your father's passing. Especially tough during the holidays. My dad passed when 33 years ago and I still miss him. Just remember all the good times.
for you and family.You should try the Volvik XT. 3 dozen urethane balls for 60 bucks! I have been playing it at the sim. It may be softer than I prefer. But the performance is nothing short of amazing at that price point.
Sorry to hear about your dad. My heart goes out to you and your family. I remember years ago we lost my Grandmother two days before Thanksgiving. We tried our best to get through the day for the young children, but it wasn’t easy. Stay strong, boggy.
