Golf Marathon

[ezra76]

Just got in and I'm beat down. Walked for 36holes today. I'll give a little recap. Irons were just awesome and the R5TP was a little tough to harness. I shot a 41+44 for an 85 on the 1st 18 then shot a 41+39 for an 80 on the 2nd 18. I also did something I've never done before, 3 birdies in the same round. The second 18 I made a bird on the 1st (par 4), the 10th (par3)and the 18th (par3).

The R5 is hypersensative but incredibly workable. I hit a drive near 300, tearing it around a dogleg right. Also hit a nice 275yd. draw that cut around the dogleg left so hard it ended up on the left edge. I really need that 85g Sflex so I don't have to swing 114 to load the shaft.

The highlight of my day was one of the two kids I played the 1st 18 with. He asked me a few questions so I gave him an iron tip. I told him to let his hands pass over first and maintain the shaft angle. He finished the front with a par on the par 5 and hit the GIR. He was so happy he said "How much would you charge for lessons." LOL. I got a kick out of it and it really made my day.

Nice! Glad you had fun and got to golf a bunch bud, and two great scores.

Is this the most you've done in a day? My cap was 54, but it was my last day in town and I had all day to golf.

[ezra76]

Yeah, 36 is the most. I play 27 quite often. I had a decent 2nd time around the front and then hit a pefert 6iron draw on the 181par 3 10th. I holed the putt and said "Ok, here we go again." I am in search of the elusive 79 again. I'll drop to a 10.8 once those scores get reviewed too. Getting under a 10 was my goal for this year. I need a couple more good rounds to do it.

I'm not as young as you BTW. No way I could do 54 without a push cart at least. Also probably need to change shoes at some point. My back is tight as all hell right now. I had a rough week at work too though. (moving furniture).

[JEFF4i]

Oh cmon, you're 30 years old, that's not bad at all.

I've done 200 holes in 7 days before. The key to it is to change socks after every 18, because it makes you feel much fresher

[Sandpiper3]

yea, i tihnk most ive had was 14 rounds during last spring break (8days).

You guys were walking and carrying your bags? That is what really kills me. I've been moving furniture for pver 10years and my back lets me know when it's had enough.

This is why I now have a cart bag. I feel 100 times better at the tee of the 18th with my cart than I do carrying for 18 holes.

Call me a sissy, but I'm playing better golf because of it. Why do you think they have caddies?

Which is funny, because I am quite the opposite, I play soooo much better when I walk and carry.

I used to have a pull cart. I left it in the back of my truck and went through the car wash. Next thing I know I was vacuuming my truck and see this guy pulling at something underneath his car and swearing.... he pulls out my wheel-less cart. LOL. I was like "oh $hit". Thankfully he didn't put 2 and 2 together and confront me about it.
