First, I must say to those of you who have never hit a J33R, you are really missing out. Go hit one.
I was playing golf by my lonesome Sunday afternoon, feeling sorry for myself and wishing my J33R had more loft, as 8.5 is just not quite enough. I knew SUX had a 9.5*, so I sent him a text inquiring about a trade. Luckily, the stuff I offered to trade was more attractive to him than the J33R, and the deal was on.
Without digging too far into the details, I found out that SUX has my address and a map of Italy tattoo'd on his ass.
Apparently reading in the mirror was proving too challenging for him, as he later inquired as to the proper spelling of my last name. "Yes, two 'i''s; silly Finnish spelling." He responded with, "You're Finnish?! Deal's off!!!
" Then added some psychobabble about the irrelevancy of ancestry.
Fast forward to today, when the mailman woke me up to receive it. I opened the box to find the head covered with a sock. See picture below. It takes a lot more to make someone actually lol than to type it, but that did it. Very amusing, Z.
I hit the course for nine holes this afternoon. I was feeling confident with a J33R in my bag once more. I hit a couple nice drives; it's great to see the ball roll for more than 10 yards. Right there among the best for distance, and it's so easy to hit straight, like my other one. Ballstriking was good; I hit 4 greens which is a little below average for me, but a few outstanding shots offset the average GIR. #4 is a par 5, 490 something, up a big hill then down the other side. I pushed the drive a bit and got a bad kick into the rough behind a tree. Pitched out to 190, a 5 iron for me. Smooth swing, heading right at the flag (you can only see the flag, not the green). I didn't see the ball when I got up there, but I was sure it couldn't have gone over. Sure enough, in the hole for an eagle and my longest hole-out to date. Bogey the first, eagle the fourth, birdie the ninth for a two-under 33. I was thinking "tempo" and nothing else all day, hopefully I can carry the good thoughts over to friday when I play next.
