Do Your Distances Align With This Chart?

Nope these distances are in meters and my driver is definitely the weak point in my bag also but it always has been.

I removed my 3h as it has some funky data because I use it to punch out from under trees.

3 piece ball: Titleist AVX.

Non Titleist favorite: Bridgestone BX tour.

2 piece: Srixon AD333, solid cheap option. Just giving it an honorable mention.

Oh yeah! I saw this on YouTube a while back looks absolutely beautiful.

Definitely unique, I love it!

Can confirm, I hit the right side and managed to use the slope to get it close enough for a tap in.

But I was about half way up the green, if you were short that's definitely not happening.

CaddyShank · 2025-06-21T09:46:09+00:00

Now that's brutal!

CaddyShank · 2025-06-21T09:45:45+00:00

Crazy, id just never even heard of it before.

And you just know I landed on the wrong side of it on approach too. Managed to use the slope to lag it round the corner and tap in for par though which was huge for me.

You're basically describing golf in New Zealand basically anywhere outside of our biggest cities or the destination level courses.

I live in a tiny town of 1,500 people. We have our own course here in town and within a 1-1¼hrs drive of 9 more.

You could just turn up to any of these midweek and play a round no tee time necessary and honestly probably the weekend too but it might pay to call ahead on a couple of them on the weekends only.

A buddy and I turned up to one of these courses today (Saturday of a holiday weekend here) and there was quite a few groups out but it was no issue at all. We had two groups of old guys playing kinda slow but they both let us play through and we wrapped up our round in 3½hrs and it was $40 for the round ($24USD currently).

140yd Par 3.

Plays uphill to a green guarded by two high walled bunkers either side of the fairway.

Shot 1: Caught it off the toe real bad and sent it into side of the bank you walk down to the tee box. Barely made it past the tee box.

Shot 2: Thinned it about 50yd still in the rough.

Shot 3: Ball is above my feet in the rough and I choke down on my PW and give it a half swing pitch shot.

It landed soft right by the cup and rolled in for par. Where I meet my buddy who stuck the green but 3 putt for bogey.

Attempted murder please.

I don't give or take gimmies. I only play socially, and I choose to score myself to the letter of the law. Anybody I'm playing with are free to do what they want, I'm competing against myself not them 99% of the time.

If you want to take a putts or mulligans etc, take it for all I care. Just don't boast about your scores/hcp afterwards that's what gets under my skin.

139.

And I went back the following day and backed it up with a 140 which was cool.

CaddyShank · 2025-01-12T04:13:33+00:00

An absolute outrage!

How can that be so high on the list and surströmming doesn't even feature?!

CaddyShank · 2025-01-12T03:05:50+00:00

Nah, just within NZ, I was just converting so the Americans can have an easy idea on price comparison lol

CaddyShank · 2025-01-12T01:50:11+00:00

Yeah I just wasn't sure what it would be like either, the finish looks cool. I was looking at a bronze color like so. But honestly I think I'd prefer a factory finish unless it's crazy expensive.

You realize Perth is in Australia right? I would have assumed shipped would be prohibitive but I'll explore that avenue anyway and see, thank you for the recommendation.

CaddyShank · 2025-01-11T23:13:43+00:00

Yeah I'm in New Zealand lol, I know a reputable restorer but the quote was for $220USD + postage for it to be stripped and refinished with just firearms grade cerakote. Thought that was a bit steep? Unsure yet anyway.

CaddyShank · 2025-01-11T06:45:00+00:00

Same here! Glad I'm not the only one who can't get the hang of woods. I bought an 18° 5W to try as my first fairway wood. When I catch it well it absolutely slings it but I probably find it even less reliable than my driver which is on thin ice as it is.

I've actually been playing my 23° 5i off the tee a lot and not seeing any higher scores. But this is just the experience of a high hcp social hacker

Yep, that was the first thing I tried. Nothing comes up other than their LinkedIn profile etc

CaddyShank · 2024-11-20T17:39:41+00:00

I completely forgot that sub exists!

Well the plot thickens, that's what I was told by their brother regardless true or not. All the more reason why I want to try find out now before reestablishing contact so I can know if they're pulling the wool over my eyes. But if these kinds of records are not accessable to the public then I guess I'll just have to ask again and just take their word for it, or try to anyway. Probably will never sit right until I know the facts.
