They are special order only. I want to see the different sizing before I pull the trigger.

Shot a 52 on the back nine at mens night. Worst nine holes of the year

I have a FlatCat Slim in my basement. Other than the different shape, the overall size feels very similar to a Superstroke 1.0

Was +3 on the 17th tee box this morning and promptly topped one. Made double and bogey to finish and shot 78. Dang.

75 is my best! Was close!

Crazy two days of golf for me, played 36 on Tuesday at Heritage Pointe, had my worst 18 of the year in the am, shot 86. Then shot 72, my best of the year in the afternoon. And then yesterday at Speargrass made my first ace on hole 5.

Congratulations! That's awesome.

After plateauing in the 85-95 range over the past few seasons I think I've finally managed to take the next step in my game. Through 10 rounds I've been consistently in the 80s with an 80 last weekend (unfortunately went bogey bogey on 17 and 18, the pressure got to me )

The biggest change I've made is focusing on my iron play. I decided to forget about trying to crush 300 yard drives and started dedicating the majority of practice to short and mid irons. Getting these dialed in has made a massive difference in my game. Plus it's a great feeling to finally hit a crisp iron.

The same thing happened to me minus an ace the following day. Played rd 1 and was 100 something and then rd 2 was an 81. Stupid game we play.

Congrats on the Ace!

Similar strategy for me albeit still a work in progress. Over the pst few years i've managed to knock about 8-10 shots off my game, from a consistent 105-108 guy to generally mid/high nineties now. First thing I did was focus on putting with my goal to be no more than 2 puts per hole and I generally am right around there consistently (slightly under) and that has probably taken about 5-8 shots off my score. Now if I could be more consistent with my irons.... I've had some success but still mi#### by ~10-20% a lot of the time. By that I mean if I am hitting from 150 yards I will be left/right by 15-30 yards more often that I like. So missing the green generally, then having to scramble and then a two put. If I could hit even half the greens in regulation I would probably take another 6-8 shots off my score.

Ironically my driving has been much more consistent recently with the massive slice a rare occurrence now.

My short irons are killing me right now.

I've made double or worse 4 times from the middle of the fairway with less than wedge in my hands.

For some reason I'm hitting these laser-guided cruise missile thin shots over the green and I can't figure out why. I've moved ball position and how close I'm standing to the ball and can't seem to shake it.

Keep turning. If you stop turning through impact you might flip your hands causing inconsistent contact.

It's more tempo than anything. I'm not very handsy, think Steve Stricker.

I'm probably going to bump and run hybrid from now on.

Anyone have any opinions on Rife putters?

Bought the one below

[darklord700]

Will be playing Sirocco for the first time soon, is this course walkable? I've walked Valley Ridge a lot so if it is a lot tougher than Valley Ridge than it is not walkable to me.

[DoubleK]

It is a much easier walk than Valley Ridge

They are good! Guerin Rife is now involved in a new company Evnroll. He knows what he's doing with putters. Good luck - hope it works well for you.

[malcolmk14]

Two rounds in a row I've shot 37 on the front and followed it up with a back 9 accident!

37-41-78 on Wednesday
37-43-80 today

Can't put two good nines together!

I have a very similar one that I bought last year - love it.

Heading down to Crowsnest Pass on Sunday. Looking forward to seeing the changes they have planned.
