If we really wanna go all in on this, I’ve got a bunch of 48" LD drivers, you’re more than welcome to throw one in the bag for the weekend

Me: got a LOT of golf coming up Cincy weekend, need to relax and swing like a normal person to preserve the back and preserve the ball count.

twturner: absolutely not.

Let me help with the temptation: Avon is on the shorter end and you don’t need to kill the ball to reach the green. But you can.

VenkmansLament · October 28, 2021, 1:01pm

Call it a 10?

Probably the dumbest thing ever posted on this message board.

anon3021505 · October 28, 2021, 1:02pm

I’ve been looking at it a bit. I already know I’ll be swinging hard plenty, but luckily a few of the “par 4s” won’t need to be hard swings.

anon3021505 · October 28, 2021, 1:02pm

This seems needlessly aggressive.

papateeps · October 28, 2021, 1:05pm

I wish It was. But t’s not a stretch by any means. Over 180 hours went into this. It’s very clear.

smithburger · October 28, 2021, 1:06pm

lol out loud.

You only need 4 clubs at Avon. Driver, 64 degree wedge, putter and beer. Prove me wrong.

anon81973724 · October 28, 2021, 1:11pm

Hybrid, 9 iron.

putt with either, it might not matter…

papateeps · October 28, 2021, 1:16pm

Too bad you won’t be there to do so. Go frolick with the bois down in Florida, the real competition will be happening up the 18th fairway.

smithburger · October 28, 2021, 1:25pm

This cuts deep. I’ll never forgive the chair guis for doing me dirty like this.

imsocrabby · October 28, 2021, 1:26pm

you guys….

i’m so fucking pumped to get there. not kidding when I say this will be my favorite golf trip of 2021….and there were some good ones.

@holeout and @Zocco ……look the eff out.

twturner · October 28, 2021, 1:33pm

My shaft of choice is the Kinetixx LD30+, which is only 245 cpm (so like a “Stiff +” flex) and 63 grams, so you really don’t need to swing out of your shoes at it.

But when you do, it kicks like an angry donkey that got into some bath salts.

Also, thinking mostly for Reeves rather than Avon, since Reeves doesn’t exactly put a premium on accuracy.

anon3021505 · October 28, 2021, 1:34pm

Speaking my language here, buddy boy. Can’t wait.

For the uninitiated:

3 is absolutely driveable - 271 is the “card yardage” and the actual front edge number is more like 235-250, depending on where the tees are put out. Make sure to use your ~~Bushnell~~ Precision Pro rangefinder to get the proper distance - Precision Pro, for all your “no fucking clue what to hit here” needs.

9 might also be driveable, depending on the tees. The last two years the Chairguise put us up on the gold tees and it was like 240 straight uphill. Beware tho, because flying it pin high but just right of the green will most likely bounce off the cart path and into the clubhouse.

10 and 11 both driveable.

15 is in no way driveable unless you have a 40 yard, controllable hook in the bag. And you smash it.

18 is also not driveable unless the tees are way up, or you have @nickp speed.

One other thing - @methridge @anon81973724 are we playing same as the last two years where everything is lateral? No OB?
