Lowest Round Of The Year

Between going to Paris last month, and throwing my back out badly, I didn’t play as much golf in the last few weeks as I would have wanted. In fact, I played 19 holes in 4.5 weeks. When I finally started playing regularly again, I’d lost a ton of my game and my swing was terrible. I was playing like a dog.
I practiced last Sunday quite hard. Worked on ball striking and short game. Hit one of those gigantic buckets, which I hardly ever do because it beats up my golfer’s elbow so bad. But I needed the work. Apparently that paid off because I played some great golf this week. Yesterday I played an Arthur Hills course here called Wingpointe. “Wingy” is a tough course, but for some reason I can play it well. My ball striking was solid, except for three shots and my putting was outstanding. I had 26 putts and even missed two three footers.
Despite there being a 2-3 club wind, I dropped a little 70 (-2). That is my lowest round to par this year, though I have a 69 on a par-70 track here.
Gear in play
Since getting a ball fitting by my pals at Bridgestone Golf, I’m now using a B330-RXS.
During the round yesterday I actually turned to my buddies a few times and told them one of two things:
1. How great the ball feels off of my driver, compressing nicely. I had one drive over 320 and had a 6-iron to the green on a 550 yard par-5.
2. How well the ball sat down on the greens when approaching, even though Wingy’s greens are very hard.
After 18 holes with that new RXS, it hardly had any wear. The thing is durable.
My B330-RXS review is coming soon.
New Shoes
I tried some very high end shoes out for the first time yesterday as well. These are handmade leather shoes from Italy called Royal Albatross.
Based on my round yesterday, I may never wear another shoe. In fact, I may never wear another pair of underwear either. Whatever it takes.

I tried out a new and interesting golf bag this week called the Eazy Golf Bag. EZGB has some unique design concepts. A circular ring arranges the clubs, while a “V” shaped opening allows for easy access to clubs. To boot, the thing has wheels. The wheels are not really meant for pulling the bag on the course, but for convenience to and from the golf course parking lot.
Does this bag and all of it’s neat ideas break par? Read on.
Club Access
Access to put the clubs in and take them out is fairly easy with the Eazy Bag. A ring with indentations in the bottom align the handles of the clubs, while they snap into a ring at the top of the bag which arranges the clubs in a nice circular manner around the top of the bag.

Say hello to my little friends
The caterpillar below was trucking across #13 green Tuesday. He was heading due east for some reason. Even after I picked him/her up and put him back down, he still headed east. I figure I saved him about 30 minutes of walking, as I put him about 50 feet farther east…
This spider below was on the golf cart. I love putting my little Canon camera .5 inches away from the subject and going into macro mode.
