Boring!

It was a boring back nine. 

I hit all the greens and two putted every one for a smooth 36.  Lots of kick in pars.

The course is still pretty wet.  There is no roll on the fairways.  Lots of shots hit the green and spun back.  I don't think I'm hitting the ball that much better! 

The front was a different story.  Not all pars, though I did have one birdie.  My irons continue to but weapons of mass destruction.  I had a lot of good birdies chances and putted pretty well. 

I'm not sure what I shot, Hmm, after thinking about it, it was a 37 or 38, so we are talking 73 or 74 for the round.  One of my better ever, though I was not playing from lengthy tees.


I was trying to get a good wrist cock.  I usually like to roll the wrists and the club behind my back and then make a hero move to get the club head back to the ball.  That doesn't work very well and I cannot recommend it.   Taking it back with a flat wrist and a more upright motion kept the club in front of me.  It made it pretty easy to move the ball around.

It was nice to be so consistent. 

I won't play until Monday.  I'll try to get to the range this weekend and see if I can ingrain a bit of what I am doing.

I put distance clips on my clubs (http://www.distanceclips.com/), which I found very useful and a nice addition. 

I've been using a Bushnell distance finder for a number of years.  I have a gps watch, Bushnell too, that I don't turn on much.  But then I know the home course awfully well. 

Ping irons, S56s I think.  Musty Putter - wood and classic!,  Ping G30 driver with an old Olimar trimetal 3 wood that has to be 15 years old.  I like its looks however.  Wedges are TaylorMade and I think I talked about them in a prior post.

I've been playing with a pro v1x ball for the last few rounds.  Actually the same ball.  I'm not sure it's the current version of the ball, but I like the feel of it.
