Shot 100 today on one of my home courses. Played from the tee boxes 1 further back than usual, but the extra distance didn’t seem to hurt that much. Fairways hit = 50% Greens in Regulation = 5 (my best ever!) Penalty shots = 0 Putts = 42 Lots of 3-putts and even one 4-putt [...]

Newbie golfers lose a lot of golf balls, it’s a fact of life. This can get expensive. One dozen of a decent quality ball can be $25 or more, and losing several over 18 holes starts to add up.

The loft is not recorded on it, but looks like about 56 degrees. However the grooves may be slightly worn, and it also has a [...]
Have been working on hitting my 3 Hybrid, a 19 degree. To date I have been using my 4 Hybrid as the go-to club for long approach shots. Depending on lie of the ball and solidness of contact, I get anywhere from 150 to 200 yards, mostly straight. Lately however, I have been hooking the [...]
