How are the 3 courses right now?

Wilderness, Legends, Quarry?

bugs? condition? etc?

The quarry and the wilderness are Fantastic right now. I haven't played the legend this year, but I would imagine it is in good shape too. The bugs haven't been too bad during the day, but in the evening there are a few.

Even the good ol Virginia Municipal Course has gotten in pretty good shape. Our greens are rolling pretty good and they are decently fast. We always have some dead spots but for the winter we had the course is great.

[ladahl]

Virginia is not a favorite of mine. Tough to play anywhere else vs. the BIG 3. For the $, it's a no brainer. By the time you rent a cart and pay for 18 holes at the Muni's... It's just not worth it.

Yea I work at virginia so I play for free most places, but Its just easy to get 9 in before work.

If you don't mind me asking what don't you like about Virginia?

[JJensen]

Well, my Adams rep said he couldn't get S+ C-Tapers for me so i ended up with Stiffs.... and the 3 iron is back ordered for a few months.... Now i'm really considering a Super 9031 20* or 23* as a 3 iron replacement.

The Fast 12 3 wood just wasn't for me, and i decided to pull my 910F off the BST for now, i really like the Looks of the Super LS driver and i think it could be great if i stuffed some cottonballs in it and put the D+ 72X from my 913 i have on order in it, but i haven't even gotten my 913 yet! Oh the life of a Ho.

New clubs should be arriving any day now, and then i'll do a full write up with new pictures. I am thinking about getting some TVD Vokeys through my college if i can. Probably a 54M and 58K, i just love the clean look of them.

Putter is Firmly Locked in the bag, i might send it to Kevin Colbert this winter for a restoration since it is a little rough around the edges.

I shot a 72 on wednesday with 6 (YES 6) Birdies. I was happy to play good for a full 18 holes, but i was also really disappointed that i blew a round in the 60s.

Will you be their #1 golfer in college.

If I can make 3 at the wilderness ill be doing good. Haha hopefully the CMBs an 913 come in this week. I already replaced the hybrid with the old 904

[JJensen]

Everything came in wrong. Irons 3* upright and driver with a stiff shaft. Nice.

[JJensen]

Just picked up a BB 83x for my 910 to compliment the D+. Hoping this will bring up my launch a little.

[JJensen]

And another BB83x for the 904

WOULD LOVE SOME PICTURES =]

[/quote]

Probably about a week before any pictures. Have to get the shafts in and still waiting for my driver and irons they messed up on.

I want them all right now. The one going in the 910 is the "S" version and the one going in the 904 is the standard non flower band one.

[JJensen]

So in the last week I have hoed a few shafts.
1- Blueboard 73x
2- Blueboard 83x
1- Tour Issue Purple Ice (YSQ Graphics) 75 Tour X

All for a total of $180

[JJensen]

Still waiting on my driver and irons. This is getting ridiculous probably won't have them when I go to Prestwick.

[ladahl]

How long ago did you order?

Didn't your irons come in nice, but incorrect?

Ordered everything on June 14th. Irons did come within a week, but my rep is not responding to my texts he just said I should have some infor by thursday (didnt hear anything) I should have called Adams myself. My driver came with a stiff instead of an X so I'm waiting for that to come in too. Hopefully tomorrow for the driver. Who knows for the irons.

[ladahl]

Sorry man. Hopefully he takes better care of you.. ie freebies

I already got a free Super LS Hybrid. But I don't get along with hybrids very well

[ladahl]

I bet you'd like the

[JJensen]

I almost got it. But I was killing the LS on the range so I went with that as a 5 wood replacement (which didn't work out). But now I have the Blueboards in my fairways an I love them. Except my club guy had a brain fart and installed one of them logo up.

[JJensen]

I was talking with my rep and to make sure i have the irons before my tournament next week i am just going to bend the ones that were sent to me and play the stiff c-tapers. I am a feel player and like to work the ball with my irons so this Should be fine. That means they will be in the bag for Prestwick! The Blueboards are awesome! I love them I'm just the 913 away from pictures! I might take some on the range at prestwick with the covert in though.

[ladahl]

Get what you paid for... Dude.. You can buy off the rack CMB with stiff stock on the bay for a fraction of the $

Don't do it. You were fit for a heavier shaft and different frequency... I know It's hard not to want to try em...

Ask him if you can play these until (no wait, tell him) your real ones arrive at which time you will return those... It's on him not you...

And yes. I would define fly bend them (and not even mention it to him)

So I opened the box and the specs sheet said 2* upright (what I ordered) Lo and behold. They were correct. I had wanted s+ but Adams doesn't carry them, so I am more than satisfied with the stiffs. I played them for a quick 9 and I LOVE them. And that was just kinda a self fit guess. The shafts feel perfect an the trajectory is exactly what I wanted.

So then I ran to the college and there was my driver

So my bag is complete, except I need new wedges.

I swing pretty hard to and I have the C-taper stiffs in em, hardstepped once... I couldnt be any happier. The bonus is they are 10 grams a shaft lighter as well! Which helps at my old age... LoL

I wanted to hard step them, who knows maybe sometime down the road but they're fine right now. And for the price I got them for (less than AP2s w/ c-tapers through my college) I can't complain
