Kevin T. Fairbanks
Summary:
I am an avid golfer, but only golf at most once a week. I consider myself a bogey to par golfer. I use discount golf clubs including my golf driver, golf woods, golf irons, and golf putter. This article describes my playing
exploits on a 9 hole par 30 course recently.
Article:
I haven’t vie
a round of golf in simply about 2 or 3 weeks. I wanted to see how my swing was compared to how I was playing golf earlier. I used discount golf clubs and am really pleased with their performance. I would-be guess that I am a bogey to par golfer. I have ne'er
patterned
out what my handicap is or even as how to numbers it. I ordinarily try to play by the golf rules that I know, but sometimes I even as stray from those.
Well, as I mentioned, since I haven’t vie
for so long, I elect an Executive 9 hole course that is a par 30. I like playing from the back tees. That way I get my money’s worth once
playing golf. This particular course has a length of 1773 yards from those back tees.
As a little background, my golf bag has 4 woods. 1 is a 10 degree driver. I do not cognize the cc’s, but I ordinarily driving about 250 yards to 300 yards. Not always straight, but I have straightened out my slice in the last year or so. I have a 3 wood, 5 wood and 7 wood. The 5 wood is shorter than the 7 wood. I think that was a mistake once
the woods were made. My 3 wood goes simply about 220 yards to 250 yards. The 5 wood goes simply about 220 yards. The 7 wood goes simply about 200 yards.
My irons are 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, pitching iron, and sand wedge. The 3 iron goes simply about 190 to 200 yards. My 4 iron goes simply about 180 yards. The 5 iron goes simply about 170 yards. The 6 iron goes simply about 160 yards. My 7 iron goes simply about 155 yards. My 8 iron goes simply about 150 yards. My 9 iron goes simply about 130 yards. My pitching wedge goes simply about 120 yards. My sand wedge goes simply about 80 yards. Round this out with the putter. It is a blade type putter.
Back to the course, the 1st hole is a par 3 at 100 yards headed straight east. This hole has a 9 handicap, the ninth hardest hole on the course, or the easiest of the nine. The wind was from the south simply about 20 to 30 miles per hour. I used my pitching wedge and clogged down to shorten the distance. I concluded up right on the front edge of the green with the wind small indefinite amount to bring the ball back to the middle of the fairway. The flag was in the front of the green simply about 15 yards on. I putted to simply about 3 feet and put the next putt in for a par 3.
The next hole was 173 yards par 3 headed east again. This hole is the 4th hardest hole. I used a 4 iron teed up and concluded up on the left side of the green on a hill above the green. The wind pushed the ball a little to the left. I used a sand wedge to pop the golf ball up and landed simply about 4 feet from the hole. I putted for a par 3.
Hole 3 is a par 4 headed straight south into the wind. It is 352 yards long with trees on each side of the fairway at simply about 190 yards out. It is rated the hardest hole on the course. I used my driver off the tee and hit a little fade encircling the trees on the left side of the fairway. The ball landed on the right side of the fairway simply about 110 yards out. I used my pitching wedge from there and concluded up short and on the left of the green. I used my pitching wedge over again
and concluded up simply about 6 feet from the hole. 2 putts gave me a bogey 5.
Hole 4 is a par 3 at 141 yards heading straight west with a line of trees on
the south edge of the fairway. The handicap on this hole does it the 3rd hardest hole of the 9. I used my 8 iron teed up and landed the green on the left side simply about 30 feet from the hole. I didn’t see enough break and my putter left it down hill of the hole simply about 7 feet. The next putt was uphill and I left it short simply about 1 foot from the hole. The next putt was in for a bogey 4.
Hole 5 is 121 yard par 3 headed north with the wind. It is the 7th hardest hole on the course. I used my pitching wedge and landed the green short of the hole simply about 20 feet. 2 putts later and I had a par. My short irons are going fairly straight and simply about the right distance!
Hole 6 is a par 3 at 152 yards going with the wind to the north. It is the 6th handicap hole. I used my 8 iron teed up and landed on the right side of the green on a slope that allowed the golf ball to bounce left onto the green simply about 35 feet from the hole. 2 putts and I had another par. My putter is working fairly well!
Hole 7 is headed straight south into the wind with a gentle dogleg left. It is the 2nd hardest hole on the course at 324 yards and a par 4. I teed up and hit my driver. I hit a slight fade and the wind took it even as further right into the rough simply about 120 yards out. That blamed fade takes yards off of my driver. I used my pitching wedge and concluded up short of the green simply about 5 yards. I used my pitching wedge over again
and concluded up simply about 12 feet from the hole. 2 putts and I had a bogey 5.
Hole 8 is a par 3 at 110 yards headed straight west with a line of trees on
the south edge of the fairway. It is the 8th hardest hole on the course. I teed up a pitching wedge and landed the green simply about 8 feet from the hole. I am really pleased with my irons and wedges so far. My driver isn’t working quite as well as I would-be like. I 2 putted and came away with a par.
Hole 9 heads straight north with the wind and is 300 yards long. It is unfit
as a 3 and is a par 4. I drove the ball to inside
65 yards of the green right in the middle of the fairway. Again, it was a slight fade, but the end result was good. I used a sand wedge and landed the golf ball simply about 3 feet right of the flag and concluded up simply about 5 feet from the hole. I was hoping for a birdie, but the putt simply touched
the left side of the cup. Another put and I had another par.
If I adscititious up correctly, I concluded up with a 33, 3 over par. I was really please with this round, especially after taking off that more time. My irons, wedges and putter were working really well. My driver was a little short, probably because of the fades and wind. I concluded up in the fairway 2 out of 3 times once
I used it, so I can’t complain simply about that too much.
