Mr 'I can't hit 50% FIR if someone put a gun to my head' Owensby here. I played pin 2 at Ayrshire Gailes with high winds and firm fairways and hit 23% FIR. No birdies on par 5's but still shot +2 so I guess the glass is somewhat half full considering I was hitting out of the rough 77% of the time. Decision...go with the longest driver because if I am going to be hitting it out of the rough anyway, I might as well get a few more yards off the tee.(or a little deeper into the rough) That’s how I play Bill my driver carry’s 288 yds but has very little forgiveness zone, I tried a driver with the best forgiveness and was in the rough just as much with that but further back. It’s also the reason I won’t hit 3 wood or iron off a tee if the fairways tight because I can hit into the rough with any club even putter 😂

I played my first round at Ayshire a couple days ago and dayum. Gonna be fun seeing what scores come up. Windstone didnt really punish in the rough since it was mostly light rough all around so I feel like I gotta get my game fine tuned again to actually caring about the fairway.

I took a spin around Ayrshire last night and birdied 4 of the first 5 on my way to a 63. I may have used up all my birdies in the practice round!

I practice well with no crowds but crumble under the tournament pressure

Hello everyone! I've poked my head in a few times and I'm sure the guys who have been around know why. 😁😁
Even though I am not on a roster, I still plan on being around and I'm here to announce the first instance of that.
With the last game, I did a "show" called Dirtbags Weekly where I would play next week's course and talk Dirtbags while chatting with viewers. It's nothing serious but rather a way to try and build the Dirtbags community.
So, with this being the first week and me having the block of time open this week, I am going to be doing a Dirtbags Weekly this Saturday (October 10) at 8 am EST. I invite everyone to tune in and participate in the chat as I do pay attention to it. Interested but can't see it live? No worries. I record them so if anyone wants to watch them, they have 7 or 14 days to do so. I might not have the availability to do one every week but I sure will try.
So there are a lot of new faces and so I'd like to invite you all to introduce yourself as I introduce you on the "show". If you are interested, please post with your name, nickname (if you want), something about you that I can share, and please finish the post by tagging me in it so I can make sure not to miss it.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited to revive Dirtbags Weekly as I really enjoyed the interaction with everyone.
Here's to a great season! 🍻🍻

Hah - I'll start! I've played TGC Tours since '19 first came out and have sucked for most of it. I also am an avid real life golfer and suck at that as well. Does that make me a proper dirtbag? Also, I'm 29 and live with my Fiancee and young puppy just north of Boston, MA. They both regularly cheer my on as I get my TGC rounds in. My Fiancee is obviously a huge fan of watching me scream at the TV screen when I miss a 15 foot putt- One of our favorite ways to spend a Friday Night (tonight) Ashton Fox

Oh wow Justin, I'm just north of Boston too, recently moved from Charlestown to Medford. The Bogeymen with two Boston guys, I like it jjbuzzotta So Ashton Ashton Fox I'd love to tune in but unfortunately I'll have to catch up later in the day tomorrow. Running out of nice days up here in the Northeast and we've got 78 degrees and sunshine forecasted tomorrow so I've got a 9:30 tee time out in the real world. I can give you a little bit of info about myself though. I'm 31 and have been living in Boston/the Boston area since i went to college here, so about 13 years now. Grew up in central Massachusetts. I didn't even get into golf until I got a summer job working on the grounds crew at a local course and got to play for free so i got a cheap set of clubs and started playing. So I first picked up the sticks about 12 years ago and really started playing a lot about 5 years ago. I think playing ice hockey for so long kind of helped with the swing motion and I actually got good pretty quickly once I started playing a lot. I'm about a 9 handicap now in real life. First started playing TGC with TGC1 and I've had every version, but I never got into TGCTours until this year. My career low rounds: TGC 2019: 56 PGA 2k21: 63 Real life: 75 My day job is as the Assistant Controller for an investment management firm headquartered in Boston. I'm also a big Patriots/Bruins/Red Sox fan so I like to spend my free time either golfing or watching those games.

Can the "Grumpy Lobster Boat Captain" keep the Pat's train on track with all the changes? As a long time Colts fan I want to know .

We’ll see, seems like things were rolling along nicely til Cam Newton caught covid. I have a conspiracy theory that Roger Goodell’s hate for the Patriots made him give Cam and Gilmore “Covid”. No symptoms for either of them. Can we get a nee independent test? LOL
