Was playing with a single handicapper yesterday. Guess what he couldn't even tee over the white tee. Eventually all flight mates got a bottle of Martel to finish up after the game. Comical.... We ended up high after finishing up the bottle and some have to go work.... Sigh what a day.

Being a Titleist Pro V1X loyalist, I was very hesitant to try out other balls. However, this 5 piece offering has been intriguing me for the past couple of mths. So, with bated breath, I finally went and purchasd a dozen to try out for one of my last rounds of golf in Florida. Conditions today were pretty good. Temps in the high 70s (ard 23*C), wind <10mph. Generally, a great day for golf. The course was an 18 hole Executive course which had a few par 4s but mostly par 3s. Conditions ...
