Leathernecks Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 3 minutes ago, Seeking6 said: I'm sure it's the same everywhere but Golf Galaxy has this trade out program where I can buy a used club....take it for 7 or 14 days and keep trading in until you find one you like. Might start there. I've got my W-7 distances down pretty well.....it's just 2-3 courses I play around here (Plum Creek, Prairie View, River Glen) there's about 4-5 shots each round where I'm at 200 coming in (or I need 200 off tee to lay up) and have lost that distance on my 3/4 iron. Guess that's why we love golf. Always tinkering around with things. That is pretty nice to be able to keep trying different clubs for a week at a time. It seems like all the times I've tried clubs have been fun experiences. I got fit for a driver a handful of years ago, and I couldn't decide which one, so the guy took my to play 9 holes at Urbana Country Club. He even let me borrow one of his personal shirts because I just had a t-shirt on lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's still there or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's still there or not. It was really fun to play once! State is in Bloomington now. The blue/orange courses really went downhill. Haven't played either one in about 5 years, but they were in rough shape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted May 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Would love to know if someone can explain to me. Why did Webb Simpson go to the first tee and WD there? If he knew his neck was an issue yesterday why the charade? Assuming sponsorship or maybe it counts as a start? Have him in multiple leagues this week. Not happy.

Incredible talent out there....but someone like Rory should never have this much time in between wins. Hopefully he goes back to playing his game instead of chasing length like some others.

But it was good to see him collect himself and make a big shot and two putts. Now if he can just win at Augusta next year and Spieth maybe in a couple of weeks at Kiawah, then I'd be quite happy. Like them both. 😊 Edited May 10, 2021 by jv1972iu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like them both. 😊 I've been indifferent on both. Rory has grown on me over the years because I think he shoots stuff straight....but just goes to show how hard it is to win on the tour. Rory plays his most consistent golf for 4 rounds in a long time and wins by one. Tough tough tough competition out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jv1972iu Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 I like so many of the players. 😁 And I just enjoy watching golf on tv. Great competition and individual drama. It's so good. And the players are really incredible. 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching him win the PGA...It was like some common guy rolled into town and shot the lights out...Amazing... His ride has been bumpy, and he's been wrong on some things, but I always find myself cheering for him...

Day of the infamous "almost penalty"...that could have cost him a title. You guessed it..3 idiots called it in from their homes and PGA had to investigate.

Still one of those stats that just doesn't make sense. I noticed Rory is -2 on the day and has moved up 46 spots. One great round on the weekend could have someone winning.
