The original Bushwood thread is overflowing like Craig Stadler's FUPA.
Use this thread to discuss tournaments, swing thoughts, equipment, and golf deals.
I thought we could also use the OP to create a WITB for ChiefsPlanet members. I'll list a poster's name and put their sticks in a spoiler tag, so you can see what everyone is carrying. [Reply]

I wish my Exotics was about 10% easier to hit off the deck.
I go 50-54-58.
Which TEE model do you have? I have a XCG6, and the only time I've struggled off the deck with it were on the insanely tight bermuda lies we had this week in Alabama.
The only 3-wood I've hit more consistently was the old TaylorMade V-Steel. [Reply]

XCG-4. I picked up an XCG-7 4-wood last year, but it was way too light in the head. Felt like the SW was C-2 or something.
It's ok from the zoysia fairways where I would normally play, but that's a shot I need two times a round, max. I certainly don't hit it as well from a tight lie as I do my old i15. [Reply]

First time in my life that I have 3 wedges in my bag. Not sure what to do exactly. Using an old Equalizer seems much easier. Got my 45 with the set and then I have a 52 and then a 56 SW. [Reply]

Had a chance to play there a few years ago and one of the guys didn't want to pay the $240 or whatever they were asking as a guest fee - so the rest of us backed down and passed on the opportunity.
Still smarting a bit over that one...
Best course I'll play this year will be Dalhousie. [Reply]

You're talking to a dude that got to tag along with his brother in law to Carnoustie, Turnberry, and Kingsbarns for free, bruh. I think I'll live :-). [Reply]

Did we ever get the scores from that epic adventure? I never had a desire for world travel but I'd love doing that. You are a lucky a bastard! [Reply]

I've walked it caddying for a buddy in state events a few times. It's going to chew me up, I don't have the length for it.
Should get a chance or two to play Hallbrook this summer - hardest Fazio design out there. Supposedly makes all the lists for hardest courses in America. [Reply]

I can tell you that I didn't keep score at Turnberry. We were playing in 50-60 mph winds. My BIL played off a 1.4 at the time and I don't think he broke 100. I will never play a course that hard again. Those conditions were inhuman. I literally thought I was going to die on 7 or 8.
I shot a 93 at the Jubilee course at St. Andrews, which was absolutely terrible, because I was only +3 through 8.
Carnoustie beat us the fuck up. I had a lot of good numbers and a lot of big numbers.
Kingsbarns was beautiful, but I didn't string together several holes of solid golf like I did at Carnoustie. [Reply]
