Your bag setup when you shot your best round


mountaintop

Recommended Posts

I shot a 64 (-8) on a risky dink par 72 course at a skins game about 12 years back, I think. We were playing jungle rules and, believe it or not, I didn’t win one skin! I believe back then I was playing a Cleveland Launcher Comp driver, Launcher 3-wood, Titleist DCI black irons, and DFX 2-ball blade putter.

 

I shot personal bests at two of the three courses at our club this summer, so it’s much easier to remember. A 64 (-6) on a tight par-70 and a 66 (-6) on a Pete Dye re-designed par-72 course.

Same as my signature, I think. Can't remember if I had the 3-wood or that 17° TM 4-wood. Likely the 4-wood.

Hey chopper, what are you hitting there?
Callaway Rouge Sub Zero 9°
TM SLDR S 17° 4-wood
Mizuno MP Fli-Hi 21° driving iron

Dynacraft (?) 24° 4-iron
Titleist AP2 710 5-pw
Wilson FG Tour PMP 52, 56, 60­°
Rife 460 Tour Blade

After how long does being "out of form" turn into "a bad golfer"?

My best was this summer; shot a 69 at Indian Peaks in Lafayette, CO. I've played that course hundreds of times, but couldn't miss that day. Was 6-under thru 5 holes with 4 birdies and an eagle. Hung on for dear life after that.

 

Anyways, in the bag that day were:

2016 M2 3w- Fujikura Pro

816 AP2- 3-P

SM6 50*

That would have been the Bay Course at Kapalua where I shot 66 in about '90. I had all Ping Eye2 irons (1iron, 3-L), Ping Anser putter, MacGregor 693 Persimmon driver, Orlimar 3 wood (if I wasn't hitting my 1-iron well). That was my best round ever because it was very windy and rainy that day. I looked like Bishop Pickering that day except that the good Lord left me alone with my personal record.

Trying to remember since it was back in 2000.

I shot a 4 under 68 with a pretty unremarkable bag

 

Titleist 975 9.5 with a Pro Force gold shaft

Knight 3 wood, steel shaft (I had broken my 5 wood in a fit of rage and never replaced it)

cheap Dunlop or Maxfli irons with R flex graphite shafts that I got from Play It Again Sports (3 - W)

Cleveland 588 56* wedge

Odyssey Rossie putter

 

I think the closest i have been since then is 1 under

Cool topic. My low round was an even par 72, which I shot twice within 4 days. The first was with 18 consecutive pars, and the next time out kept the pars rolling until a bogey on 9 and birdie on 10, for another even par round.

 

The setup was:

 

NIke VR Pro irons 4-PW

Callaway Diablo Edge 3 wood

Titleist 915 Driver

Cleveland 52 and 60 degree wedges

Odyssey White Hot #9 putter

My best round came a long time ago, but I can still remember what I had in my bag when I shot an even par. I also remember that it was slightly drizzling that day which slowed the greens down which was a big reason for my low score.

 

Driver: Titleist 975D, 8.5 degrees, UST Pro Force

Wood: Titleist PT15 and PT20, DG X100

Irons: Titleist 990B, DG X100

Wedges: Titleist Vokey 52, 56 and 60

Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport (same putter used today)

 

The only thing I can't remember is what ball I was using. I played a lot of Precepts back in those days.

I've shot my all-time low on three occasions over a 7 year period.

 

The 1st time bag was TEE Proto driver, CB2 Fairways, MP60 irons, Mizzy wedges, and Santa Fe Tei3 putter.

 

The 2nd was FT9-TA driver, CB2 Fairways, Miura Tournament Blades, Chikara V1 Proto Wedges, 009.

 

The 3rd was SLDR JDM 430, RBZ2 Fairway, J40CB irons, Fourteen MT-28 wedges, 009.

 

 

The answer to better golf is hit it better, farther, and make more putts.

I shot my lowest career score and lowest tournament score this year with the same setup:

 

64 on my home course and 67 tournament score in my town.

 

Cobra F7 Single length 4-LW

Ping G25 driver (I’ve tried replacing this 10 times the last five years it always shows up under pressure)

Adams Idea Pro black 16 and 20 degree. (I use the 16 as a driving iron)

Tom Slighter long neck Edmonds putter

 

First time in a while everything in my bag seems set, but I’m sure I’ll try some new drivers like I do every year...

My best is an 83 this summer.

 

Titleist 913 d2 driver

Mizuno jpx900 2hybrid

Mizuno jpx900 4 hybrid

5-gw Mizuno jpx 825pro

Vokey sm6 54

Vokey sm6 58

Scotty Cameron futura 5s

 

Only things left in the bag from this list are the 4 hybrid and putter. Shortly after this round I thought it would be a good idea to get fit for irons. I had a bad day swinging the club at the fitting session and ended up with clubs that weren't quite Right for me and my scores digressed some.

 

I recently got refit and feel like I'm back on track! Hopefully I can lower that a little next summer

Was around 10 years ago, with my Dad's clubs. Think they where old Cobra knock-offs, but do remember he had a small headed Nicklaus driver. I had my Dad's car that day as he needed to borrow my truck. Buddies at work wanted to leave early to play golf, luckily he had his clubs in the trunk. I did not even have golf shoes, wore sneakers. Came out with 3 birdies within the first 6 holes. Ended up shooting 73.

this is kind of fun to think about, since I only matched my low round ever this year of years past I will go with the first

 

Callaway GBB Alpha w/ Grafalloy Blue X

Taylormade RBZ Stage 2 5 tour with Graphite design Tour AD DI 95X

Mizuno MP67's S300 3-PW

Titleist spin milled wedges can't remember which ones with spinner shafts

Wilson 8802 blade putter

 

I played a lot that year and I was hung over so I couldn't swing out of my boots, this was the TSN turning point of my game understanding that I did not have to go all out to get the performance I needed.

 

So true. The less I go after it, the better I score. Overswinging, especially with the wedges, is something that kills my game. When I feel like I don't even think about swinging the wedges, just let them swing, much better results in every way. Crisp contact, great spin. My favorite general swing thought about golf: 'Are you mentally tough enough to relax?'

Earlier this year I SHATTERED my best score by 4, but it was helped by a couple of things - nice day, easier course if I drove it straight - 400 yds shorter than I normally play, tighter than I normally play but it was helped by the best driving day I've ever had from 2 thru 17, a chip in for an eagle on a 570 yd par 5 and another for birdie on a 470 yd par 4.

 

That was with

 

-Cobra LTD pro

SLDR TP 14 deg

915H 2 hybrid

4-PW 2013 x forged

Cally MD3 54 WS

Miura C grind 59 deg

Lajosi HSM proto putter

 

I dont consider that round nearly as good as 2 others, on much harder courses and/or conditions. Those were

 

Driver - 907 D2 or 905S Cally FT Tour

Irons - 1 iron, 3-P Armour 845m Miura CB 301 4-PW

3 wood - 15 deg 906 F2 I think 13 deg 904 F

hybrid DOnt think I had one Bridgestone J33 18/21

Wedges/Putters - I go thru those too fast too remember. One was with a Left handed putter and the other was a RH Yes Diana I believe. Wedges no chance to remember.

 

The 2nd round (Cally Ft Tour driver) led me to a 3 wood change. I could kill that 904F from the tee, it was a 2nd driver for me but I couldnt hit it from the ground. Got to 18 having made 8 birdies in the round (including 5 in a row early on, still my best), needing an eagle to shoot what would have been a very special number for me-despite two doubles already- on the 580 yd par 5. Tried to kill the 18 degree hybrid from 265 over water because at that moment I REALLY wanted the eagle and didnt make it. Walked off with a 3rd double bogey and decided I couldnt give a spot in the bag to a 3 wood I could only hit off the tee. It was 5 years ago and every time I play that course I think about wishing I had that shot back.
