lol not fancy a quick dart to the pro shop for a loaner???

Missed the Saturday comp as I had family commitments so just nipped for 10 holes yesterday afternoon. 9 pars and a double.

Loving the G440 driver, 4 wood and 7 wood. Ping tour black shaft is as good, if not better than any fancy tour ad / velocore I’ve tried !

I'm surprised they still make 4 woods - I thought it would be just threes and fives and you use the adjustment to get the loft you want.

After a few weeks of being absolutely pony, today I came second in our March stableford! Missed one fairway all day, by about a yard. And without even realising, shot a 1-over back nine which is BY FAR my best ever - I think my previous best for that stretch is about 5 over. Chuffed to bits

15 points out had me thinking, not again, but 22 on the back saw me to 37 and 1 behind the leader, who is the best golfer at the club.

Update: hadn't realised it was a comp over both days and there was a 42 points on Saturday so I actually came third Oh well, still placed

I was too, and I had to wait for 3 weeks for mine as they’re so popular! Not really lost any distance from my 3w and it’s so forgiving.

Just curious, is it the same make/model/shaft as your 3w?

4 wood is a new in the line up..don't think they've had a 4 wood since G20 or thereabouts...
The problem with adjusting single cog clubs like Ping is that it can dramatically change the face angle and mess things up.

I have a High Launch 3 wood - 16.5 degree which is pretty much a 4 wood

Gives me a little more height and control and haven’t lost much distance to my 3 wood

 

[Voyager EMH]

In my head it goes
up to 12° - driver
up to 14° - 2 wood
up to 16° - 3 wood
up to 18° - 4 wood
up to 20° - 5 wood
up to 22° - 6 wood
up to 24° - 7 wood

I don't own an 8 wood.
I have only one 6-wood - a Harold Bird & Son. I have only one 7-wood - a Ping Eye2.

No mate, my 3w was a Pxg gen 6. I really enjoyed it but the g440 4w goes as far off the tee but is easier to hit off the deck than my 3w.

I played on Saturday - best round of the year, played to handicap for the first time but it is at my much higher new handicap.
Results published yesterday (I knew I was not a winner already) realised I have gone from Div1 to Div3 in little over a year.

 

[jim8flog]

Played a 4BBB and was on the card 17 times......the other was my mate made birdie for 4 for 4, I only made a par.

Looking forward to see what that OZ HS system does to me.

In the UK it depends on what the team score was.

 

[harpo_72]

Lovely weather .. golf was shocking ! I had consumed my handicap after 3 holes … say no more!

 

[rudebhoy]

22 points after 9 holes. Playing really well. Then managed to blob 10 after driving into trees, then hitting an outlying tree trying to escape, ball dropped like a stone, was right up against the tree root and pretty much unplayable.

Went from bad to worse on 11, ball plugged in the face of a bunker, took 3 attempts to get it out, another blob.

Got back on track, and played some really nice stuff 12-17. Carved drive OOB on 18 for a 3rd blob, disappointing way to end, but 35 points after a 2 shot cut, happy enough with that.

Roman Road at Celtic Manor today, on a freebie as a buddy had a voucher.

Greens and tees good, rest was shocking and we've had 8 days of sunny clear skies over here. Goodness knows what it was like last week.

All the hole changes they've made seem to make it worse not better. But the last lot were to build more car parking, not design influenced.

Clubhouse looking tatty too. Any "deals" the operators do before May are not worth it Hopefully it'll be in reasonable condition by summer.

A quick 9 holes tonight after work, sunk a long putt on the par 3 2nd for a birdie (I remembered my putter this time ) and then was an inch away from a hole out eagle on the par 5 7th.

Getting my new irons tomorrow and playing Saturday, will be interesting to see if I can notice any difference.

11 holes for Jamie tonight after school - not bad for early March. This weather is obviously a little bit of a false dawn but you have to embrace it while it's with us.

Gonna try and get out twice at the weekend if I can.

 

[Slime]

It was fabulous just being able to wear a polo and feel the warmth of the sun.
I started with a three point par on the first.
The rest is none of your business.








Okay, so I finished on 19 points, what of it?

 

[Mel Smooth]

March Stableford today, and I played all 18 holes for the first time in a good few months..
Horrendous front nine, respectable back nine. 28 points.

Got the weekly update through from the club today, comp results always get a mention.

One guy shot a gross 69, 5 over through 8, then 8 under through the next ten holes

Reddicerlous

My 4w is 17 lofted down to 16.5

My 3w is 15 lifted up to 16.5

 

[Slab]

34 pts in monthly Stableford
4 prs off 1st place

Easy to recall where I lost my 4 pts but pretty happy where I finished
Par 4's were my downfall today
