下集開始。

它的果嶺是大面積，非常考驗你對果嶺的判斷和放球位置。上果嶺這桿很要求球友的技術和經驗，我現在看旗桿放的位置和果嶺地形來決定球的落點。前提是你的鐵桿執行力，推桿基本是2推結束。有幾洞的果嶺有2層的高度落差，推起來很有難度。我也習慣，都是可以很接近洞的弧形路線。同時今天2洞的長推進洞，一洞是守住par，一洞是第18洞收尾的鳥。只能說推桿逐漸熱起來的手感！

它們的果嶺的草太密，導致球推起來會跳，應該要打洞整理果嶺狀況，才好推。有點可惜！果嶺速度約9，不難推。“球道”上在進攻果嶺，兩旁樹需要進行修整，因為很多洞要進攻果嶺，樹枝都會擋住進攻的角度和方向，有2次都被樹枝給擋住。這其實是球場維護要做的事，讓球友在進攻時可以清晰的瞄準果嶺。只能說這個球場整體還可以，但細節完全不及格。

球場的難度算中等，球道沒有地形起伏，但很多洞都是狗腿設計，在梯台要做進攻時，會看不到果嶺位置而不知所措。所以我在開球前會看一下這洞的設計，來設定打法和進攻方向。同組的也是第一次打，說blink leads blink，就是盲打！打白tee很容易，但藍tee 6500碼+就看出球友的問題和缺點，今天可以和會打球的人一起打，超順、也舒服，我倒是對塞車不是很介意，因為習慣了！

我必須要說，當你和會打球的人一起打，每個人都會有他自己的節奏和方法策略。所以我們兩個打，不會去看別人的routine或細節，因為眼睛一掃就知道他在做什麼。而自己還是專注在自己的routine上，專心執行每一桿的任務。不過他倒是問我一些想法、打法等問題，因為我可以一支球桿打出不同距離和彈道，尤其鐵桿，他覺得我鐵桿穩定和彈道弧線超優。我就說；我調整站位，來打不同彈道和距離。

今天帶P、7、6、4鐵。7和6鐵的距離涵蓋130碼到175碼。是今天第二桿用最多的。4鐵和5木今天公休沒有上場機會。一號木炸裂發揮，距離完全開掛，讓我的球道木今天完全待機/stand by。GT2還是我目前用最順手的木桿！NX Gold桿身強度讚！有一球還可以感受到桿身受力的彈力。今天桿面觸球都在甜蜜點周圍，和中間往桿趾半個球位置，因為有幾球刻意打draw，距離就破表。

GT2/NX gold配44.75“比GT2/Ventus TR black 要長0.5“，因為NX gold的重量要比Ventus輕，所以設定長一點來維持揮感。用起來效果更好，因為重量對我影響很大，長度控制在不超過45”都是我可以使用覆蓋面。所以設定球桿規格需要瞭解桿身和握把特性，才能更輕鬆發揮球桿效能。NX gold的倒旋低，驚艷的滾動效果，這是我最爽的地方。

GT2/NX gold合格，下一支應該會選Qi4D來打18洞，應該配置新款ventus velocore + blue。現在Qi4D是配Ventus TR Blue，可以觀察新舊款Ventus Blue的表現差異？一支一支來重新配置新的桿身，看看能否煥然一新？這就是球桿變化對下場策略的樂趣。今年好玩的桿子多，打球就更多樂趣。

The greens are big and they really test your green reading and where you leave the ball. I’m focusing more now on pin position and slope to pick my landing spots. Most holes I was two-putting. A few greens have big tier drops — pretty tricky. But I managed to leave myself good putts. Today I even made two long putts — one to save par and one birdie on 18. My putting feel is finally coming around!

The grass on the greens is super thick, so the ball was jumping a bit on putts. They really need to work on the greens. Speed was about 8-9, which was fine.

One issue: a lot of the trees on the sides of the fairways need trimming. On several approach shots, branches were blocking the line to the green. Happened twice today. That’s something the course should fix. Overall, the course is medium difficulty. Not much elevation, but lots of doglegs, so you can’t always see the green from the tee. I always check the hole layout before teeing off. My playing partner was also playing it for the first time and kept saying “blind leads to blind.”

Playing with someone who can actually play was so smooth and enjoyable. I don’t even mind the slow pace that much anymore — I’m used to it.

When you play with good golfers, everyone has their own rhythm and strategy. We weren’t watching each other’s routines or anything. You just glance and know what the other guy is doing, then stay in your own process. He did ask me a bunch of questions about shot shaping because he liked how consistent and controlled my iron flights were. I told him I just adjust my setup to change trajectory and distance.

Today I carried P, 7, 6, and 4 iron. The 7i and 6i were my workhorses — covered 130 to 175 yards perfectly. The 4 iron and 5-wood didn’t even come out. The driver was absolutely bombing today, so the fairway wood stayed in the bag. GT2 with the NX Gold is my favorite driver right now. That shaft is so good.

I even felt the shaft loading on one drive. Most of my strikes were right around the sweet spot, or half a ball toward the toe when I was deliberately hitting draws. Distance was ridiculous.

The GT2/NX Gold is at 44.75” — half an inch longer than my other GT2/Ventus TR Black because the NX Gold is lighter. I needed the extra length to keep the same swing feel. It works way better for me. Length under 45” is my comfort zone.

The low spin and amazing roll on the NX Gold is my favorite part. GT2/NX Gold passed the test. Next I’ll probably take the Qi4D out for 18 holes, maybe with the new Ventus Velocore + Blue. I’m currently using the TR Blue, so I can compare old vs new. I’m going to re-shaft everything one by one and see what happens. That’s the fun part — tinkering with gear and seeing how it changes your game. So many cool clubs this year. Golf is just more fun right now.
