July 15, 201214 yr Just curious as to if anyone has ever hit a hole in one or Eagle? I've had a bunch of eagles but never an ace. I have witnessed several aces by friends. I'd love to see my boy jar one today at Boone Links!!!
July 15, 201214 yr Just curious as to if anyone has ever hit a hole in one or Eagle? Eagled a par 5 once. I'm the kind of golfer that comes out with 1-2 birdies per round, 4 or 5 pars, a few doubles bogeys and the rest bogeys.
July 15, 201214 yr Played my club on Friday afternoon and shot a horrendous 97, might have had something to do with the amount of "John Daly's" I drank though. Great time with good friends though. Beats the heck out of working. I couldnt get off the tee consistently but my putting once again was very solid with only one hole garnering a 3 putt. I might get out sometime today to shoot 9 but the rain just started. :(
July 15, 201214 yr Just curious as to if anyone has ever hit a hole in one or Eagle? 1 eagle before. Holed out from about 50 yards on a par 5.
July 15, 201214 yr Just curious as to if anyone has ever hit a hole in one or Eagle? Does Tiger Woods 2012 count? If it helps all of them have been on a par 4.:idunno:
July 15, 201214 yr Rocketballz I used to be in the low 80's when I was able to play a lot. I'm not 100% sure on my lowest score but I'm thinking 78 or 79. I can't remember. Just bought a RBZ 5 wood and man is it hot. Most juiced club I've ever hit, would hate to see the 3 wood (which I am going to purchase soon). Never hit driver well, never liked to use fairway metals. I always played my rescue 3 for long distance shots and played the rest of my game with irons which is the best part of my game, especially short irons. Bought the RBZ 5 wood Friday and immediately was striking the ball longer than I ever have off the tee. Twice I was laying about 30-40 yards from the green hitting 3 on a couple of par 5's that I would normally have to take a 7-9 iron into. I can tell its going to shave the strokes off my golf game being driving distance off the tee was always my weakness. Was matching some guys I consider pretty long hitters off the tee yard for yard and they were hitting driver, again this was a 5 wood!!!!!
July 15, 201214 yr Along with the new RBZ 5 wood I also purchased a new rescue dual. I had bought one of the original TaylorMade rescue's when they first came out around 05'/06' and thing has been my most reliable club for years. Most def the definition of a utility club as I used it for everything. Usually until I started pulling my driver out and hitting again recently, (which I will now keep back in the bag now I hit better distance with the RBZ 5W and likely even more with the RBZ 3W I will be getting) I would hit my rescue 3 (19 degree) off the tee on almost all par 4's/5's as well as my second shots usually. I would normally be about 220 with it. I still have it in my bag but added a new rescue dual 2 TP (tour preferred) which is 16 degree. I will use these two clubs basically as my 3 and 4 irons (although I will get more distance out of the rescue 2 and 3 than I would a 3 or 4 iron respectably), and then have 5-SW in my bag. I also have a TaylorMade 52 degree wedge that I use as a lob wedge. I know its actually a gap wedge but I hit it the same way and on the same shots I used to with my 60 degree lob wedge. Then I have a TaylorMade Burner Driver/R7 driver, (normally keep Burner in the bag because I hit it better than r7, although I rarely use driver anyway especially now). RBZ 5 wood, and Burner 6 (28 degree) rescue wood that I use as basically a 7 wood. I then have an odyssey white ice two ball putter. Now that I have realized I can hit a fairway wood I will def be getting the RBZ 3 wood and rounding out my set. Most likely when that happens I'll probably take out the trusty rescue 3 I've had for a while and just roll with the newer rescue 2 TP to take its place. Quick recap of what's in the bag for those who don't want to decipher that mess above.

July 15, 201214 yr Anyone watching the John Deere Classic on CBS? Watching these guys play is just nuts, wish I could sink putts like the pro's do. I'm not a bad putter but these guys make it look so effortless.
July 15, 201214 yr Anyone watching the John Deere Classic on CBS? Watching these guys play is just nuts, wish I could sink putts like the pro's do. I'm not a bad putter but these guys make it look so effortless. They make every part of the game look effortless. That's what I always tell people, especially those who don't play golf, its unreal how good the guys on TV actually are. I mean even the guys who fail to make the cut are still so good at golf its sickening.
July 15, 201214 yr I've talked enough about clubs but as for rounds played I have been around 4-8+ on average for 18 holes this season. I normally play at Stonecrest (Prestonsburg), Raven Rock (Jenkins), and Mountain Pub Links (Pike Co) and have been scoring on average anywhere from 4-8 over on all these courses.
July 15, 201214 yr Ok another question, do you guys always play/count just one ball? Depends on the situation. I may not always play two balls, but If I am just with one of my buddies having a relaxed day without a group behind us or without really keeping score I may play a couple extra shots here and there to work on my game a little. If I am seriously trying to take my score I will play one ball. I also play in a golf league at work and we will normally just play best ball. Early in the year though when I'm just starting the season and not keeping score, I won't necessarily play 2 balls the entire time but I will take quite a few extra shots just to get some more practice in (as long as there isn't anyone playing behind me).
