Random Golf Thoughts

I have a stealth+ 3w on a 5w shaft that I won't get rid of any time soon. Much easier to hit than the 3w shaft. Tried swapping it for a normal 3w shaft at the range and I can't time it well for some reason. I find I like a bigger head/face on a wood like what TM usually does. The ping or cobras with the smaller profile just didn't suit my eye. 3w is such a funny club to get right. If you find something that works well, stick with it.

The only other thing that I'd say is that a 4w or 3w HL with the extra loft is often a better shout for most players. Not everyone is fast enough or consistent enough to get benefit from the lower lofted woods. In my case, I rarely have many green light 220yd+ shots to hit. So my 7w/3i/4i covers my longest approaches or on a par 3. Otherwise it is probably better at my level of ability to hit two wedges or 9i.

You'll probably still find many a person would say that the old TM M2 is the best 3w they've had. I had one and it was right up there.

I replaced it when I turned 40 and got a gift of a fitting out in Foregolf.

I have a Callaway Epic Speed, which I absolutely love. To be fair though, it's lost likely the shaft that I was fitted into rather than the specific head

Talk to your club office or handicap secretary. They can check your profile very quickly.

It's the usual time for annual subs to be paid and profiles updated etc. Could easily be a misclick to mark you inactive or someone with a similar name that was mixed up.

Has anyone any experience with getting green mapping for their course? I struggle massively on my own course to read the greens, and having some base line of what way the slopes are should help.

I came across puttview, but dunno if they're just guessing the slopes etc or if they've actually gone out and done the research.

Failing that I might just go out a few evenings and do it myself, and sell them on 😅

Another vote for the Qi 10, hottest face and easiest to launch 3wood I've ever had

That's interesting because I was considering picking up the driver second hand as I like the 3wood so much.

I don't want that flight with my driver however

I bought the TM sim 2 rescue and 3 wood end of last year as they were on sale. First off got the rescue after a mcguirks fitting.. Then after a few weeks I went back and got the 3 wood as I liked the rescue so much both were fittings in mcguirks (as there free) unless you dont buy I think. Anyway I tried the driver and like Space just didnt suit! all same shafts too was quiet surprised to be honest.

One thing I noticed with TM of late as I haven't bought TM in years but there heads seem to mark very easily! Both clubs are marked now nearly in identical spots near the toe just above the face and I didnt sky any shots. Anyone else notice that with TM woods?

My golf glider trolley took a dip into a lake today, completely submerged for maybe 30 seconds. Obviously not working since but wondered if it’s a drying out issue or once water gets near the motor am I in trouble do you think?

Hairdryer job on control board might work..at low setting mind.

Terminals of battery too.

As someone who regularly makes a hames of shots like these in the winter i have worked hard at it this year, results are fairly good.

Main issues that i see are:

1. Chunking the shot by catching too much ground
2. Not committing to the shot leading to thinning the ball.

For me i find choosing a wedge and adopting a more upright angle so the bounce of the club does the work avoids chunking, then commit 100 percent to the shot works.

Normal angle of 6-10 degrees with ball mid stance doesnt work so more upright angle and ball back in stance is what i am working on.

Of course this lessens distance so usually i add a club for distance so maybe 52 instead of 56 degree.

No difference within 10 yards of green works for me.
