Classic driver test ⛳

You all know I love old clubs. So the other day I dusted off the Callaway FT-i to see just how much gas it had left in the tank. Let's just say I think you'll be surprised.

Iron off the tee? ⛳

What do you think? Do you ever play it safe and lay up or are you going for the hero shot and cutting it over the trees?

With a ravine protecting the hole that feels like it’s a mile deep and a tree protecting the green too, I went the safe route and laid up.

Time and place is what I say and this is course management 101. This hole bates you into thinking you can cut it over the trees and go for it. I'll take my par and go to the next hole.

POV: You spend $200 to go golfing but then hit this shot.

Send this to a buddy you wouldn't let live this down

I'm gonna have nightmares for a week ⛳

The bunkers ate me alive on this hole. Probably should've laid up on the tee shot but hindsight is always 20/20

Send this to a buddy you'd rather be golfing with right now ⛳

Who here is doing the Lombardi Par Challenge? ⛳

Starting it off easy with a par, but I've heard we're going all the way to getting an Eagle. Some of us might look like Grizzly Adams by the time this is over.

Who knows about the 26 and 36 rule when it comes to yardage and what you distance you should be playing? ⛳

I just found out about this and decided to test it out.

195 yard 5 iron means I should be playing 7,050 yards

275 yard driver means I should be playing 7,150 yards

Let me know in the comments what distance you are playing and what distance you should be playing.

Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend and got out to golf ⛳

How would you play this hole with water and a bunker on the right protecting the pin? I decided safe was the better choice and took the on in 3 instead of going for it in 2. Paid off with an easy par.
