Hey guys... Just seeing this thread. Is there still room on Saturday or is it all full?

You are welcome. Please PM me.

Marzo, I'm a 9 (but will drop to an 8 on Monday during the next update), so list me however you want - this is just for fun.

I played Prestwick after you shot me that email special. Had two triples and limped away with an 86 playing from the whites. Really nice course - I need to play there more often. The greens were fantastic and the course was in excellent shape. I ended up in really bad position off the tee on #2 as it was a complete guess of how much I could cut off the dogleg, and felt kind of pissed about what a blind shot it is... but honestly I hit a bad shot and it wouldn't have mattered.

[linkerpan]

This will be a lot of fun. Sad for the ones that can't be there.

Guys attending... Just for giggles

Maybe post a pic of your WITB for Saturday (your 14 weapons of choice)

Marzo- What would be more beneficial here? 24* utility or 23* hybrid? The utlity is more accurate for a 200 tee shot, but the hybrid is easier from the deck... FWIW: I will be carrying a 19* hybrid for sure
[/quote]

I will take a picture of my bag when I get home tonight. But knowing me between now and Saturday I may change my bag 3 times. LoL
[/quote]

Same here... It's bad. Maybe if we kept a consistent bag, we could score better.. I guess we'll never know LOL
[/quote]

I've had the same irons all season. Same driver all season (can't stick with one shaft in it though) new 3 wood this week, same hybrid all season, month old wedges, and had the same putter for a month now (new record for me).

I just need to stop and play want I have. But the BST is preventing me from doing so.....
[/quote]

It sounds like you two should lobby for an increase in the maximum number of clubs allowed on Saturday. Sometimes 14 just isn't enough.

We played together at the Jewel back in May. You know any amount of clubs won't help me

Not buying it Lance. Also, whatever you say your handicap is... I'm betting you're really about 4 better than that.  

[JJensen]

So what's in the bags for the event? Unless my clubs come in mine will be...

Covert Tour 8.5 - Kuro Kage 60x
910F 13.5 - BB83x
904F 19 - BB83x
J33cb 3-P - S300
Vokey SM 54.11 & 58.08
Circa 62 No. 3 - Ultra Slim

Same as my signature, except gonna try the utility vs. the 23* hybrid

[Al.J]

My WITB will be slightly altered for the weekend, Playing a Nike Covert with a stiff shaft verses my 910 D3 with the X stiff. Dr said I could play casually so figure I better tone the swing down a tad.Looking forward to Sat.[attachment=1778838:IMG_20130711_200701_880.jpg

[Al.J]

Current USGA 1.2 but trending upward. Typical round this year has been 1 good 9 and 1 not so good. Usually keep it in the mid to upper 70's.

How's the covert treating you BTW?
[/quote]

It's pretty nice. I just have a demo from the course I work at, but if I didn't get such good deals on 913s I could easily game it.

[linkerpan]

So we are almost set. 21 of us, not counting TopperHarley, who will confirm later. I am planning to let 2 more spaces open to get to 24. Anyone thinking on going in, please let me know before Friday 10am.

Unofficial pairings tomorrow afternoon

[linkerpan]

Local knowledge:
- In almost every green is better to be in front
- Hole #2 is a slight dogleg right and there is a house to the right that many people don't see


As a comparison with The Jewel that we already played (whites, would be similar for whom played the combo at Jewel):

[u]The Jewel:[/u]
Length 6,014 Rating 69 Slope 124

[u]Prestwick:[/u]
Length 6,374 Rating 71.3 Slope 133

[mr_divots]

Thanks for the reminder. I knew this was coming up but forgot to check.
I'm still in. Don't have a handi anymore, but I'd say it would be safe to put me down as able to play to about a 6 right now. Trending upward!!

If the greens are going to be cut fast for a tournament, this should be fun. Their greens are usually pretty quick and roll true!

If this goes well again I'm sure I can talk my boss into doing an outing here at Bulrush in August/September
[/quote]
I haven't made the trek up I-35 to Bullrush. Looks intriguing on the website. I'd play in that as well!

[linkerpan]

Closest to the pin, 6th hole
Long drive, 10th hole
Longest putt, 18th hole

This means at least half of our group will have belly putters! I'm not sure how I'm ever going to go back even though I'm now constantly reminded of how I'm "cheating"

[iStank]

It truly is like cheating! I love it!!!

Looking forward to it! Been playing a lot of the same tracks too much and haven't been to Prestwick yet this year.

Rob and I had talked about playing earlier this year. Looks like it's going to happen finally!

[JJensen]

Bag Change!

913D3 8.5 D+ 72x and CMB are in!!!!

P.s. went out with the irons and shot an easy 35 on the back at Virginia!

[DaBigSaus]

Weather outlook keeps getting better. Still bagging my rain gear but going to keep my fingers crossed!
