JJensen WITB 2014: 1/6/2015 Update With LOTS of Pictures

[JJensen]

$45 for golf @ each Ridge courses right now? Thats what I heard

 

 

 

 

 

Does Mesabi now have a golf team? I heard they were adding that?

 

Yup they added it last year and it should be decent next year our #1 and #3 guys are going there and out #2 from last year is there now, but i play for the Virginia Blue Devils right now... i think i will go to Northwestern College in St. Paul for Mechanical Engineering and play for them also, but i still have another year of high school to figure out the college stuff.

 

 

 

 

yes sir, 18 holes is $45, 36 holes or 18 play and stay for $75, 36 P&S is $105 pretty good deals and you know the course will be in good condition. Do you come to the iron range often?

[JJensen]

Grew up 6 miles from the Ridge.

 

I come up for most of July..... Always score well at the Legend.. Quarry gets me in trouble

 

i prefer the Quarry... it captures the area a lot better, and I've played it a lot more. It is our team's second course so we play it 7-10 times each year :)

I love to buy new gear, and I cant find another to give as good a balance of distance/workability/forgiveness as the 0964LS (I have 2, check my linked WITB).. The RIP just wasn't for me... I swapped-out the shaft. It's now one of my favorite club in the bag.

Debating trading the D3 for an Adams 9064LS 9.5* RIP Stiff.... HELP ME!!!
[/quote]



[/quote]

i'm afraid of the flight being too high with the 9.5... i would need a lower launching shaft, maybe if he would do a head swap? I wonder how the V2 would be in it.... assuming they have the same tip diameter

[JJensen]

Hmmm they are the same tip..... i wonder how that would be for launch with the V2 being a stiffer low launching shaft in the higher launching head... bomber or disaster waiting to happen?

[JJensen]

Hmmmm..... Maybe after Prom and the Trip to Virginia Beach if i can find an 8.5* with a 60 something gram shaft.... but my mom would me.... lol

[JJensen]

How is the DFS? this one has a sick OBAN Devotion 6

Don't ditch your D3. Worth more than the 9064LS..... You can find a nearly new 9064LS online for like $100.... For example:

I have have only hit that DFS model inside when they first debuted these.... It's basically lets you adjust the length... I one and only drawback I have heard is that the sound isn't quite as nice as the standard (non DFS model)... I have an Oban shaft in mine (BEST SHAFT I personally have ever hit in a driver).... I say go for it. Save some $ @ prom, and take your date to Dave's for a pizza ... Spend the $ on your game instead

BTW: Who else on the "range" will have an Oban? Plus, it's Blue Devil Blue....

Haha A guy in the proshop has a tour issue Kiyoshi it is SICK! and she wants to go to Michael's on the Course, so maybe i can play nine after pictures? Is the sound louder or more like the D3? I like the sound of the D3 and the 9064LS was a little too Cobra-ish in sound for me

[ladahl]

Does he have the matte black Kiyoshi (same specs as purple) ? Those are awresome!... or the new back one (lower launching)? Or original Purple? [quote name='NorthlandBlueDevil' timestamp='1333677743' post='4661619']

BOOOO TM.. I hate that they bought Adams.

[JJensen]

Well i am in the 7th spot for out first meet, missed #6 by 2 strokes... I shot 41 , 98 , 82 ... irons were not solid at all, and my short game was awful... oh well... lots of qualifying left to do

[JJensen]

Well, had mt first meet today, i shot 48 in 35* weather with 15-20 mph winds.... couldn't make a put or get a decent chip save my life, but on the bright side we got our CORE heated vests and mitts today

[JJensen]

I'm thinking about reshafting either the CB2 or the J33 I have sitting in my spares bag.... any opinions? i'm leaning towards the CB2 as of right now... i just have to find the right shaft at a REALLY CHEAP price....

 

For your enjoyment here is a pic from prom haha

[/quote]

Actually yes i am... my grandpa Tom Jensen lives in Fruita, CO. We don't get there often, but last time i played Redland Mesa... Wow!!! i would love to play it now that i am a better golfer!!!

[nfinch10]

Well, unless you've got Aunts/uncles/cousins...etc in Boulder Co there probably isn't a relation.

We have a lot of friends in the Fruita/Grand Junction area. I've only gotten to see the course, not play it, but I here it is unreal! My parents and brother played it while I was off at college and said it was insane! I think I am going to have to get back out there as well.

nope nothing in that area just the one grandpa that moved away ha... and i don't remember it too well, but some of the views from that course were amazing, and i liked hitting the ball 20 yards farther too

[JJensen]

I may have to sell everything golf related i own and quit the game forever..... today.... I... I.... I... Whi.... I Whiffed...... my irons were awful i was thinning everything..... i might just go cry myself to sleep.... with a hockey stick in my arms dreaming of winter...

[JJensen]

SWING VID!!!..(yes it is a month old, but my swing is exactly the same

[JJensen]

With the arrival of 8" of fresh snow... comes the thought of spending all my vacation money on an XTD 14.5*.... MUST RESIST!!!

[ladahl]

Spend it on a plane ticket from Hibbing to ANYWHERE warm.

i'm leaving for Virginia Beach tomorrow! But no golf clubs are coming just a band trip might bring a driver and like 10 balls to hit into the ocean

[JJensen]

Had a meet today on my home course... I shot a 41 with a double on the last, and MANY missed putts and i couldn't get my wedges dialed in perfectly... could have easily been a 35 if our greens were decent... The driver was S-O-L-I-D and i have meets tomorrow and Saturday at Hayward GC and Telemark in Wisconsin... oh and Monday at The Wilderness At Fortune Bay. On the upside after the meet i went out and shot round of my life 33 (-2) on the front after sticking a 4 iron from 210 for birdie on the 8th :)
