Played a 720 yd par 6 over the weekend. I birdied it, so bamacheats could probably triple eagle it at worst.

Walk us through how you played it.

Nice

 

[volfanbill]

nice "hole out" from 5 foot. Those are always exciting.

Thinking about going to dicks & picking up a pair of adizero's today. Found a super good deal on them for only $69.99.

They retailed for $180 last year.

I like the look. I still can't bring myself to go with the spikeless deck shoe look.

I think they look better with shorts than the saddle or wingtip styles.

I have a pair. I didn't like them. Didn't provide enough support for me. Hurt my feet.

You might want to check eBay first. I bought a pair of Pumas a couple weeks ago and I got them for $30 cheaper than any website I saw them on.

Lol that's where I found them at. Just gonna try them on today at dicks & if they fit right come home & order from eBay.

Golf shoes as a whole look like glorified bowling shoes. About 80% of them look ridiculous.

Solid plan. eBay is always the cheapest route.

And they aren't really even needed.

That said, I won't buy a pair unless they look closer to tennis shoes than they do bowling shoes.

Unless it's really sloppy or you're in a severe stance, I agree.

Played the Clemson University course today. Wind coming off the lake drove me crazy.

 

[Spartacavolus]

I usually buy cheap but splurged on some nice Adidas and they feel great, though they kind of look like track shoes with golf cleats.

I don't recall a lot of holes really on the lake but it's been years & I vaguely remember that many holes. The tiger paw hole (17) is & I think the other par 3 on that side is in a hole near the lake. I think 18 is as well.

Played my new Callaway X hot pro irons today for the first time. The extra distance will take some getting used too. All in all, the irons did great and hit straight with plenty of forgiveness. My driving and putting were horrid today. Had 4 triple bogeys on the first nine holes. Didn't play the back nine.

 

[vol_in_ar]

played 9, today left work a little early
shot 45, blew up on one of the par 5's and put 2 in the water

found this poorly shot cell phone footage of my putting:

I played Wednesday afternoon. Played awful the first few holes, but recovered to hit some decent shots. Shot a 47, then played the same 9 again and shot a 40.

You can see the lake from a lot of the back 9, but I think you're only on the lake for the last 3. 16 parallels the lake then 17 is a little peninsula and 18 touches it around the tee but you're actually hitting away from it.

Pulling for Dufner, in this playoff with Scott
