  2. Now Rob I did count 7 clubs haha. So Josh gave the grips to me (Kudos to him). However, I prefer the SuperStroke Traxion Tour Oversize. They are my gamers on my Srixon's so I will be gripping them this evening. Then I will post a first Impression vid.

  3. So, I hated missing the community call, but just as I was finishing work at the GC, my neighbor 200 yards away calls and says there is an awful smell coming downwind from my property. then my son calls to tell me that there is poop bubbling out of the ground. Yup.. poop! I rush home, and sure as sh!t, there it is. Call the septic pumper out to meet me. Says it will be after 530. (It was 230 when I called.) He asked if the tank lid was accessible, if not it's an extra 300 for locating and unearthing. So I grab my trustee rebar and sledge hammer and begin pounding dirt. Turned out I have 2 lids! Saved myself 300 bucks! So this was my afternoon and evening events. Pumper shows up, they pop the lids, and as I was expecting he quoted cousin eddie..."sh!tters full!" They were nice enough to run a tornado line down the leech field pipe though.

  7. That's quite a plan @frazzman80! Can understand the busy-ness of this weekend. If I were in the same place on this test, my schedule would be almost identical. Looking foward to seeing pics and posts of these irons.

  8. An instant classic. Think of the bragging rights on who captures the first wayward Colonel ball. Love it. Quite the collectors item. You could have a raffle on who collects the first pair of “Colonel” balls. Simply priceless. But of course you would need the matching Colonel ball mark.

    Well, since the house is on the market… I will be transferring to Hawaii this summer, and I am promoting to Chief Warrant Officer in 2 weeks. Looking forward to a new chapter in my career and be able to play golf 366 days a year (on leap years) soon. Could use some good vibes from you all on the house sale, we were expecting to be here for 6 years, but 2 is what we got…

  16. Date 03/29/2024 Course Name Sun City Golf Club Cowan Creek Gross Score 68 Course Handicap 1 Gross Strokes over/under par -4 Net Score to Par -5 Net Score 67 Net Birdies or better Longest Drive SIM Round Well beware of the sick or injured golfer! We played late today. Gave me enough time to hydrate. Still under the weather, but played very well. Hit the driver outstanding and putted insane. Did just enough with the irons and wedges. Hit 10 fairways, but was never really out of position. Hit 11 greens, but really 15 ngreens which made the putts stats look better. I only had 25 putts! Started out hot birdied three of the first four and one putted all four. Birdied number seven to get to minus 4, but didn’t get up and down from the front fringe on eight for a stupid bogey. On nine hit two big shots, but was short sided with a front pin tucked behind the deep front bunker. Safety first and hit the pitch just a touch too long. A two putt par. Played the back 1 under. Two birdies and one bogie. A solid 68, it probably won't get any better this week. I’m not playing again till Saturday. Blue tees rating 69.1 and slope of 122. Course handicap from the Blues was a 1. Attested by Darren Jackson.

  19. I've had the same putter (Odyssey White Hot XG #9) since I first filled my bag. Today I was in Dick's, dicking around, and picked up a few putters to waste time. Now listen, I know the holes are cut bigger and I know the artificial greens "fall"to the cup but something just felt so good about this TM Bandon 3. Out of the five or six that I played with, it certainly stood out. Might just have to sleep on this, though. B

  21. I finally made it home, but after my 6 hour 80 mile drive, I didn’t feel much like going to the range. The good news is I will be there early tomorrow and playing tomorrow. I just ordered a new weight for my hybrid. It has a 10g in it, and Jon said said I needed a 4g instead of the standard 10, and a 10g in my 3 wood instead of the 12g in that. Luckily, I can move a hybrid 10g to the 3w.

  22. That was 1st time getting on the call, definitely won't be my last. I wish I knew about this sooner, just ignorant to it I guess. It reminds me of the car forums I used to frequent often, filled with s*** tons of knowledge with it being golf instead of hotrods. The wife says I have expensive hobbies....golf, guns, and muscle cars. Still might be cheaper than hookers and blow, maybe lol. All seriousness, excited to nerd out more since I love the tech side of things, especially since the advancements are ongoing. I really immersed myself a few years back with ball labs and most wanted testing, watching all the NPG episodes, etc. After the call I ran out back and snuck in a few more holes before the sun starts to hide. On that note, the new Tour B RXS barely go as far as the TM Soft response for me.

  26. And here she is, side-by-side with my DIY version (@Shapotomous) Early impressions: The plastic gives every indication of being of adequate strength. The board really doesn't flex, which is good. For the record, I'm currently about 170lbs. The green surface on the PSB is suitably grippy. I like it. Right now (with limited use): I'm liking the little spikey bits on the bottom of the PSB. One of my biggest issues using my DIY board is that it would spin out (the board would turn counterclockwise as I attempted to use the ground in the downswing). I am going to have to give some attention to whether the PSB affects the carpet underneath it. The spring system works as advertised. It's not ridiculously hard to press down, but you notice it. The "audible" indication that you've gotten adequate weight to the front side is there, but it's relatively quiet. Looking forward to putting in some work here. I know I need to get to my lead side earlier in the swing. So I'm going to be doing a lot of sequencing work on this in the weeks ahead. I also have a Stack session scheduled for today, so I intend to do some warming up on the PSB. I'll try to report back with how that affects my speed numbers.

  27. I’ve been a Wilson fan for years. These are so on my short list. @Golfspy_CG2 I hope to see yours at Kingsmill. Wilson already has inventory issues on these.

  28. I’ve been there before. And recently. I don’t remember what my score was but it was a lot after the first 4. We were also playing with another 2some and these guys were both pretty close to scratch. One of the guys gave me the idea to not even keep score and just have fun as it’s something he does from time to time and it was a much more enjoyable round. So I excited out of 18 birdies and didn’t even count a single stroke. Well we get to the 18th green, I Texas wedge off the green and make the putt, and turns out my normal playing partner was secretly keeping my score. Turns out I was around +8 from 5-18 according to him. Idk if I was just more free and not caring or what but I could tell I played much better golf after not keeping score. I get we’re chasing a goal but this game should also be fun

  30. Haha. I see all sorts of stupid sh!+ at my course. I play with someone who works at the course so we are always correcting people and fighting this with groups ahead or behind. He had some college kids flip a cart, return it and try to hide the broken pieces and called them. The kid goes, yeah we flipped it. They came back up and paid for it but it happens at least once a week here.

  31. Missed another one. I was on a plane on my way home from Tulsa. @ILMgolfnut I am right off of 74 at exit 183. We will have to go play next time you are passing by. You need a little golf to break up your drive right?

    Good luck with the new size. I’m surprised the feel is still good with the XL. I found the same to be true with my JMX XS grip. The feel of the shot and strike location is still there, but softened slightly. I did run into my first grip rotation issue. I installed the grips with one piece of painters tape and air. I was swinging my driver outside this evening to loosen up after a long drive and I noticed the grip was rotated at the top. See the photo below: If you look at the rib along the back, you can see that it has an ‘S’ curve to it. The bottom is aligned correctly and then the butt end of the grip is rotated around. It’s looking like air is not a long term way to install these JMX grips since @ZackS and now I have had the grips rotate.

  39. I tried the XL Ultralite on the Qi10 and it was too much for me, but I figured try the largest one first, right? I caved in and used the website sizing protocol, and now have a medium on order and will try that once it gets here. I like the tackiness and feedback the grip provides quite a lot. The quality of the ball strike (compressed/thin/heel/etc.) could be felt clearly, but the feel was still soft. Excited to try the medium and see if that works better.

  40. I can promise you it didn’t get better for me. I just forgot and iron can make contact with a ball… thats ok and suppose to happen lol so frustrating but heck all I can do is laugh. Next round will not be for score focused. I play a Golden Bear course on Saturday with my FIL. It’s a fun track so I’m looking forward to it

  41. Interesting video. He noticed more than the ruling bodies stated distance. Said the same bring JT said that he would have to adjust his whole bag setup. Even with his distance he hates the rollbacked ball.

  44. You are wearing a belt right? Even at two wheels? That little tweak I know all too well! Funny how in my twenties I never stretched, warmed up, or wore protection and never an issue. Iron must have gotten heavier over the years [emoji1787] But good on you for still doing those big compound lifts! My workout partner always says we have a finite number of workouts left... Make em count. B

  45. Ranger Rob duties today. Nothing exciting really happened other than someone trying to trick the geo fence by driving backwards up to the green and dropping the cart backwards into a bunker. Wish I had my phone handy for that one!! maintenance had to pick it up by cradling the body with straps and lifting it out with a back hoe. This was to limit damage to the cart and the grounds around the bunker/fairway.
