I'm heading to Rum Pointe next weekend. 36 Fri, 36 Sat. Weather looks pretty good. 51 Fri, 54 Sat.

Excited.

Leaving Tuesday for our annual, Ryder-cup style golf trip. 24 of us...going to Palmetto Dunes in Hilton Head for the 2nd year in a row. I've had 'golf-tripitis' for a week.

tonight for the first time ever i successfully completed the 2more launch monitor challenge. the challenge is

3 shots out of 9 within a 15 foot square at 115 yards (only needed 4 shots)
3 shots out of 9 within a 15 foot square at 130 yards (only needed 5 shots)
3 shots out of 9 within a 15 foot square at 150 yards (completed on my last shot overall)
6 out of 16 tee shots in a 20 yard wide fairway (completed on my last "tee" shot)

i rotate clubs with the following pattern: 3 iron shots, 2 tee shots, 3 iron shots at a different yardage, 2 tee shots, etc.

No no you misunderstood his post. He clearly said it was 51 dollars on Friday and 54 dollars on Saturday.

Had my best score ever (78) on the Arthur Hills course at Palmetto Dunes in August. I love Hilton Head.

I'm watching honda classic highlights dying to play but my course is still closed for snow melt. I'll hopefully sneak in 9 holes sometime this week; haven't played since 12/1 and i'm sick of putting and chipping the little wiffle golf balls. hopefully i'll hit the range tomorrow, mid 40's and cloudy.

2more: took my new 3 wood to the teaching range yesterday, cranked on the heater and hit some shots and they were flying like they did the first time I took it out, not great but distance was good. I then changed the setting, added .75 degree to make it 14.25 and put it to the draw setting. It was a magic moment from the 1st hit. Went out today and joined up with a 4some, 2 guys were getting buried so they made me their 3rd player and we proceeded 3 on 2. The 2some rues the day, we (mostly me) completely flipped the match. At least 1 of those guys will be ordering Titleist 913 driver and 3 wood this week, if you know what I'm saying.

new golf boys, i think it is really good.

Everyone duck, I'm playing Monday.

Ok, I'll take it. Size?

Headed out for my first round of the new year after going to bed at 4am. Wish me luck. Don't want to lose my pants.

Anyone demo the RBZ 2 yet? Golf Galaxy has a promo going on where you can compare your fairway wood to the RBZ 2 and they give you a golf ball for every yard gained, up to a dozen. I came out with my dozen golf balls and was very impressed by the club. I averaged something like 22 extra yards compared to my G15 3-wood.

I know folks here played this weekend?

Our gambler group convened on Sunday for the 1st time in many weeks, and the last 2 times we played I was the big winner pocketing a big wad. Got paired w/ a guy who I had been partners with several times back and we didn't fare too well together that time. I got off to a blistering start and we won the front 4 and 2 and had a good lead in the "trash" money. They won the 1st 3 holes on the back, and my partner was really getting down on himself, so I gave him a pep talk and basically told him that it's never over and don't give up. After the front 9 I was sure I was coasting to win the "indo" bet amongst all the groups, but after I went double-triple-bogie-double to start the back I had given up on the indo prize and was just trying to preserve our "inside bet". My partner then went on to have 2 key holes that won us an extra $24 bucks in trash and I strung a series of pars together so that the nassau broke even but we won the $24 in trash bets. When we went in the bar and gave the group leader our score card, we won the 1 ball bet and I had tied the indo - turns out most of the other guys were real rusty and the pin spots were extra tough, most every hole had the pin in a spot we'd never seen before.
