Nice playing AHA and biggsy! AHA, sounds like you got some really tough breaks, and we all have those days. Still, to shoot under 80 with those bad breaks in a tournament setup is really impressive. biggsy, nice playing on a really long track (I looked at your stats on OOB), should give you some good confidence when the holes are shorter at Reunion.
I guess it's a good thing that it took me 15 minutes to get caught up with all of the posts on this thread! Great to see the activity in this thread from supporters of both teams. I haven't posted in this thread during the day because I was busy at work this morning, but luckily got to head out this afternoon and play 18 holes. I got to the course without a tee time, and the guy in the pro shop told me to go to the 10th tee right away to get in front of some groups that were going to tee off a little after that. Anyways, I struggled on the first nine holes with a 46. I had 2 triple bogeys due to lost balls off of the tee, and was really angry at myself walking from the 18th green to the 1st tee. I played more conservatively on the front nine, trying to stay away from penalty shots. My rhythm also got better, and I came home in 38 to shoot 84 for the day. The course had 5 par 3's and I made par on all of those holes, which was really nice. I had some great up and downs with the XFT wedges, will post some details about that in the wedge thread. For what it's worth, the course was 70.4/128 in terms of rating and slope.
Once I get rid of the penalty shots off of the tee, I'm going to be threatening to break 80 pretty regularly. One other thing: the high temperature at the course was 91 degrees, and I walked 18 holes while carrying my bag, and felt great afterwards. I know it's not the Florida heat and humidity, but if felt good to be out there and get some exposure to high temperatures. The funny part about it is that once the temperatures go above 90 degrees here, the courses magically clear out, I finished my round in 3.5 hours and wasn't rushing at all, I could have gotten around in 3 hours if I had tried to do that.
Thanks Ary! Nice playing. You'll get those tee shots worked out. You really brought the round home nicely. Well done!
Can we post on Callaway's Facebook page now?JRod@530CST checking in....
I absolutely LOVE the support this event is getting from everyone. Yoiu guys are just as important, if not more, than the participants themselves! Please make sure you hit up TMaG, Callaway, and Reunion on Facebook as well. Kinda strange an entire day almost with no feelings hurt.
You hit the ball like a girl.Good point. Biggsy you suck eggs.
According to Esox, he calls the white clubs "eggs"...I guess I'm getting a little close to my clubs
Who's taller? Spank or Chunky???
thanks for the heads up.Yep - jimjc will fit in quite well with you guys. You should send him a PM and offer a supporter tag. In all seriousness, see the Miyazaki shaft thread for the low down...not pretty.
