I have the Oil Can Cleveland's and I love the contrast at address.

I intentionally have 3 different colors so I don't pull the wrong one.

Shot an 85 today which is better than average for me (90 is more like avg.).

Once again I couldn't hit greens: Only 3 GIRs.

Once again putting saved me: 28 putts with 1 putts on 9 holes.

28 putts with 1 putts on 9 holes.

Sounds like somebody has a pretty good short game.

Sounds like somebody has a pretty good short game.

I definitely made some putts today - 4 or 5 of the one putts were 10 ft or so. Had my wedge been better, the putts would have been shorter.

Of course on one of the 3 measely times I hit a green in regulation I three putted :wacko:

I always double check, because I have hit the wrong one..

Irons:
Mizuno- MP 32 (love 'em)
Wedges- Cleveland -53 and 58 degree
Putter- Odessey two-ball

Driver I'm in the midst of change
I've been playing a Titelist 983K, reshafted with a Graphite Design ys6+ shaft, but I just picked up a Ping G5 from a co worker, and played it Saturday in a Boys and Girls Club scramble for the first time.

I played well with it, but I'm waiting to play it Saturday at my normal course, to really evaluate.

3-wood- Titlest 904f2 13 degree
Rescue- Sonartec 16 degree

I play MP-32s as well. And I love them as well.
3-PW

Cobra Greg Norman 54 degree forged
Taylor Made 60 degree

Taylor Made R7 quad
Taylor Made 15 degree 3-wood
Taylor Made Rescue 19 degree

 

[GAVol]

I took the 19 degree Taylor Made Rescue out of my bag a few days ago. It's betrayed me one too many times.

If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron.

With record breaking temperatures here in South Carolina, I thought the best way to start the day was a nice round of golf. The actual temperature here has been over 100 for the past 4 days, reaching 105 yesterday and today. I figured it was my best chance to have a score lower than the temperature.

The front nine wasn't all that bad, but the last 5 holes were rather tough as it reached 100 by noon. All in all, it was ok.

 

[BigPapaVol]

the thread started getting a little low for my tastes.

anyone weather the heat to play / practice any lately?

 

[GAVol]

I played a scramble a week ago yesterday and that's the last time I've dared to venture out. We didn't start until 1:00 and it just might have been the hottest I've ever been on a golf course in my life . . . the only positive was that the ball was really flying in all that heat.

The high temperatures down here have been nuts the past week or so. It's 105 with a heat index of 112 right now. :wacko:

 

[doozer]

i've gotten to the range after the sun went down and still left with my shirt soaked. i probably won't play a round in the middle of the day until mid-September.

 

[vol_in_ar]

I played saturday morning, went off at 7:05 and was done by 11:00, so I avoided the afternoon.

It's been brutal here this week, and continuing in the 100's thru the weekend

 

[doozer]

i could play in the mornings if i could get up before 11 on the weekends.

 

[BigPapaVol]

I would actually rather play at 40 degrees and windy, than 95 and still.

 

[SWIL]

Played 9 at the Standard Club again this Monday. Struck the ball fairly well- but the greens ate me alive. It's always tough to adjust to extremely fast greens when you are used to putting on the slower public greens.

 

[jwells]

It's been wayyy to hot for me to get to the range at all these last few weeks, and I work at night, so I've been SOL.

 

[SWIL]

The grass would have to be on fire to keep me away

Need to come on back my way. Temp has settled down here in my area. The 100 + index is back to normal. We had some fronts come thru that didn't materialize.

 

[jwells]

Well, I'm going to get to go hit balls for free, so I'm gonna give it a go this evening.

 

[cotton]

Well, Kohler is next week. I've actually got a tune up lesson tomorrow. The thing I'm looking forward to most? Projected high for the first day is 78 degrees:happy:

You might not even notice the weather while you're there - the golf is that good. Word to the wise - drive it well 'cause forgiveness ain't what Mr. Kohler had in mind.

 

[crazyguy]

wow, I'd love to play there...give us a review.

As a backup plan, I'm taking plenty of ballsk:
