OFF THE SCHNEID!!!!!! Finally I play a round of golf in 2008, and Pistol has a bit of an off-round, and I manage win #1 of the new year. The squirmy hands w/the putter were gone at last and coupling a fair day of ball-striking with a fairly solid putter makes for a good round. Pistol was breaking in his new irons, but they were not the cause of his off day - he hit them pretty well and might have gained a half-club of distance - he simply wasn't quite "on" with his short game this day.
