Sitting around checking things out when all of the sudden I remembered this thread.... as Bubba would say “You’re Welcome!”

Whoaaaaaaa bro! The Launchers are safely in the sack My buddy big Dawg wanted my thoughts and I'm gave em a few whacks in the arse. I will say I hit some pretty darn quality shots with em! The cool thing is Dawg's specs are a mirror of my own so the transition was smoother than butter on a hawt sweet potato.

How could you do this to the Launchers? Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

I was planning on showing pics of my new driver shaft I ordered last week. Now I'm not sure if to post here or "got problems" thread. Purchased a new driver shaft from one of the more reputable shops. It arrived today looking like this. FYI the grip end of the shaft was well cushioned with bubble wrap unfortunately the other end wasn't. [emoji35] We'll see how the shop responds. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

We hope so. Unfortunately at this point it's just a numbers game. The costs associated with creating LH products just weren't justifiable as we were getting started. We've definitely heard from a lot of lefties that are interested and we want to have some LH offerings asap...it'll largely just depend on how this year goes. We'd love to have LH stuff in our lineup sooner rather than later though!

Have you considered doing an online lesson or two in order to get a trained set of eyes on your swing? I have been following Larry Cheung on Instagram and Youtube and I love his coaching style and thoughts on the swing. https://larrycheunggolf.com/ If I didn't have a local pro, I would definitely opt for online lessons with him.

Lesson #6 I had my 6th lesson yesterday and we started off by talking about my round on Tuesday. I explained what was working, what wasn't and where I was struggling the most. I warmed up and started taking some swings and we talked about my left misses were coming from my weight getting too much in my toes and thus causing me to come over the top. We worked on exaggerating the feeling that the weight was staying in my heels throughout the swing. The pressure mat showed that while I felt the weight was in my heels, it was right in the middle of my feet where it was supposed to be. This is just another example of exaggerating the opposite feeling of what you are trying to get away from. We also widened my stance a bit, as it was definitely on the narrow side - especially with the scoring clubs. Getting my stance a little wider helped me with my weight transfer and rotation as it reigned in my lateral hip movement while still letting me post up on and rotate around my front leg on the downswing. I have two more lessons to go and I am really happy with the progress I have made so far. Is my swing transformation complete? Not even close. However, I understand the concepts and the moves and I am beginning to put everything together on a much more consistent basis. I am realistic and I know that this entire season is going to be a journey. My work and family life doesn't allow me to practice much, so I know the full swing changes won't become second nature as fast as I would hope. I just have to continue my journey, work within my own time constraints, and keep my expectations realistic. I know I am on the right path and I am excited to see where it leads me.

My wife showed me a weather report on facebook for our area next week. It says 12"-18" of snow likely with the possibility of up to 36"! I laughed and told her no way we are going to get that much snow. I sure hope I'm not wrong on that!

Heh...for me, black is...er..."slimming" and helps hide those unfortunate stains I invariably create that always seem to be caught by my...well...front porch.... White shirts for me just show off how sloppy I can be when I'm not careful...

I hit a few shots today with DawgDaddy's Big Bertha 2019 irons and was pleasantly surprised. More coming soon so stay tuned!

Hey there. I've been a lurker for about six years and started to donate a couple years ago. For a while every club in my bag was influenced by MGS. I recently got my hands on some NOS Scratch wedges which kicked out a set of Mizunos; and have fallen in love with a Bobby Grace putter which has - at least - temporarily displaced my Gen 1 ER3. Wondering for about a year whether I should pull the trigger on an Arrcos (I'm a bit of a control freak). Love golf! Love golf equipment!

Do it! I took that deal. $212 for a new Evnroll is a steal if you ask me. [emoji16]

My wife's (KellyBo) best friend was playing with us and aced #16! It was her first ever so yea it was really special.

Yep, I will be writing my stage 2 in a day or three so stay tuned, some interesting stuff IMO. Any one with any questions fire away, but I may have you covered in my next post. Had a blast with my buddy ole gray and we were even honored to witness a HIO by one of the members of our foursome, their first so it was very exciting.

I've been eyeing the Tour Blues as well. Seem to fit what I would be looking for in a shaft.

I really admire the work you're doing on your own. However, I think working with a coach, even just for a little bit, will help you build your personal toolkit to self diagnose and fix.

... I love the Rogue shaft series. Just awesome shafts that can be bought for much less than when they were introduced. I have a Rogue Black Tour 110 shaft that retailed for $799 and while it is a little smoother than the $299 original priced retail version, performance is very similar, it just has a smoother feel and higher QC. One of the absolute steals is the Rogue Silver Tour 125 that was stock in Wilson Trident driver that sold for $99. I had a friend that bought one and gave away the head. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2510209.m570.l1311.R1.TR10.TRC0.A0.H0.XWilson+Tr.TRS0&_nkw=wilson+triton+driver&_sacat=0

Still subzero temps here, which discourages garage work. But I'm enjoying chipping with with SkyTrak. This morning, I set a new personal best: six 10-yard chips that finished a total of 12' 2" from the hole. I'll absolutely take that every time.

If these new fangled carts take hold, the price of traditional 2 man carts should plummet and those of us in the market for one will have lots of inventory to choose from .

Thats the shaft I chose last year- excellent performer and most importantly, feel! I'm also a Diamana fan for my driver and hybrid.

Long shot, but has to be asked as we do have a fair sized lefty community here. Any future products to potentially be available in lefty?

I got fitted for a Nipon Modus3 105 stiff in my irons the other day and was able to get them for $27 a shaft 4-wedge. Looking forward to putting them in and swing what the numbers say. As far as graphite goes Diamana has always been a personal favorite of mine. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Electric carts are getting more efficient every year and a lot depends on the terrain of the course. I know some of the mountain courses are so hilly an electric cart will not make 18 holes. Back when my old man ran a course it was hilly and on the weekends the carts with new batteries could maybe make 36 holes. We used to charge them between rounds. I can remember the ones with new batteries were ran to death and the batteries would be shot by spring. Of course those older carts were not nearly as efficient as they are now.

Down here most of the courses lease carts and depending on the course they get new ones every 2 years. Some of the upper tier courses within a management group get new carts every year and the lease on the older ones are passed on to the lower tier courses. Believe it or not carts get beat to hell and back on the mid tier and lower tier courses in the spring and fall tourist golf seasons. Far as single rider carts it just depends on how "trendy" they become as to whether courses will adopt them here.

I just ordered the Black Hit Squad tee. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

VERY excited to put this on my Tour Classic. Time to hit some flagsticks! The black/green combo probably looks better but I already had a SS in that scheme so I went with the white/green. Nothing like that new grip feel.

Snowed most of the day, but very small flakes. High 25º which will be the low tonight. I shoveled the driveway for my wife to driver her car into the garage. Now it's snowing again, and she won't be home for another 30 minutes. Grrr! and Brrr!

I’m happy to hear that....you had me nervous. My Launchers got a face lift today. New grips and shaved a quarter inch off the top. What a difference in ball striking and distance gain. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

Oh yes

A couple of weeks ago, Fox announcer Shane Bacon posted this on Twitter: So I replied by posting the video (above) of Kirke hitting his new driver in the snow (and made it clear that the video had been filmed earlier). Shane picked Kirke to receive a hat. It arrived today, and I hadn't told Kirke about it. So here's the video of him opening it and saying thanks to Shane for the gift.

DawgDaddy is coming up today and I'm looking forward to seeing my old buddy with these irons in tow. I might even take a couple whacks with these bad boys

Ok,I am an addict. I need to stop reading this forum and watching YouTube, although I love the content over at TXG. So there I was, content with my TS3 setup. Hit the F9 at a top 100 fitter, was impressed, but not enough to buy. Fast forward to all the hype around the Ventus shaft. Figured what the hell, I have a bunch of stuff to sell/trade in, should be no out of pocket expense. Well looking around the interwebs, I happen across JDs custom clubs. What do you know, cobra F9, Fujikura Ventus 6s, $549........so I caved. WTF. As an aside. Called Fujikura, and they couldn’t recommend JDs more. He’s based in Minnesota and so far the communication and experience has been off the charts. If you are in the market for new stuff,check it out. His prices are crazy competitive. https://www.jdsclubs.com Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Hit the range, bunker and putting green this morning. Also did my first ASD protocol this afternoon. I really worked on trying to simulate play after I warmed up - drive, approach, bunker, putt it out, drive, approach, chip putt it out. The one bummer is that our rough is dormant - I think Innisbrook overseeds it’s rough so that could bite me. I’m going to try and find some range time again tomorrow.

Wife's not feeling well, so I have a friend in the office this morning.

Didn’t buy another new but my Buttonback is on the way back from having the neck chopped off and a centershaft spud welded on it. also have a twisty stainless scotty Pivot on the way I won.

I enjoy the Golfholics videos, you are correct about the drone shots. Mr. Short Game is also pretty good if you're into the Golfholics style. I particularly enjoy Golfholics and Mr. Short Game because they talk through their shot choices a lot. It's a good way in my opinion to work on the mental aspects of my game.

Won a $50 card for Amazon, so used that to get another pair of last year’s Footjoy Pro SL! $59.99 shipped! Couldn’t pass it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Hit the range and putting green today. Trying to rid them pesky winter kinks. After 2 buckets of balls I could tell I’m out of “golfing” shape. But that’s why I bought the unlimited balls at my courses driving range. At only $75 a year it was a no-brainer. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

That's an epic stack-and-tilt. Inquiring minds want to know... is he at the top of his follow through after a whiff? Or is he at the top of his backswing, about to hit the ball with the back of the club.

If you're a fan of Rick on youtube you've probably already seen this, but pretty cool contest he has going...

reviews aren't too bad, prob worth a shot..... not sure about this guys form though

Me and my big boy(150 lbs.) 5 years ago. The black one in the back ground is 90 lbs. Both a are little more white around the muzzle these days.... just like me.

I went to True Spec for an iron fitting and I got to try these and they weren’t even close to beating my Launchers. Not saying they’re no good, just weren’t for me. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

Make it four I've never had lessons and played off the rack for a very long time. Maybe got down to an 8 or so that way. I've still never had lessons, but I have been fit several times. I do believe it's made a big difference. A bad swing is still going to be a bad result, but a good fitting can help you hit the ball well more often. So even though it's a drive, don't give up on it just yet! I will say the biggest thing that helped me go lower though was just playing more often. I used to play a handful of times a year, maybe once or twice a month when the weather was nice. Since we moved on to a course I get to play weekly and sometimes more. Just going out to play more has made by far the biggest difference in my scoring.

I'll post the video once I have a wifi connection, but here's a picture of Kirke with his new clubs. He was incredibly excited. Honestly, I was almost as excited for him.
