  mnshiner:

  There again goes my 30.

  Oiy! That makes it so much more frustrating. You're so close.

  Be warned of something here-yourself!  LOL  Sometimes you try soooo hard and get soooo close you make yourself crazy trying to get there. Then you start gripping and sweating everything and it gets worse. Play some AS games and horse around. Find some p's and loosen up-try different things. Just change what you're doing for a bit and the next thing you know it will happen.

  Get some of that good ol white lightning in ya and relax.  :-D

  Just keep on trying. If a non-dinging old man like me can get there, then anybody can. :-)

  Finally the wait is over and now I can relax. Was getting pretty nerve racking there for awhile. Putts just barely going by the hole or stopping short by inches.

  I guess the real fun starts now. I really hate to think about getting rid of my burners but we will see what happens.

  Thanks to all who have posted their tips here on the forums because they have been very helpful to me advancing in the tiers.

  Well done, now watch that average soar.

  Attaboy, Shiner. FWIW, you don't need to lose those Burners-they will serve you just fine. GL

  Congrats Shiner and welcome. The Burners are very good and you should be fine with them.

  I just read this post and was going to say that you should start teeing off with your 3wood for a few games(within reason), so you can get the hang of using longer irons to the greens.

  Good Luck

  Thank you for your advice Sir, but I do pretty well most of the time in the CTTH's. 80 something in last months Congressional and this morning 98.97 in Decembers Oakmont because of a 30 ft. + fringe on the same hole.
