+2 (39) 3/7 FiR 4/9 GiR 15 Putts Happier with my putting today, no 3 jacks and my misses were very very close. Holed a good one to save par as well. Driver is trending way, way down still. My 2 bogeys were on long Par 4s, and I played "boring" golf for the rest of the round, which is actually exciting for us plebs.

Hope you have a great, safe and fun day.

Jonathan Wall dropping some beauty... Rickie Blades... in brushed chrome with cobra on it... Classic!

Played the "Nine & Dine" at Desert Hills yesterday (first time this season) and recorded a stinker 47 . Pitching and putting was awful... only one chip that even scared the hole. I even managed to 3 putt my closest to pin par 3 . Oh well, dinner was great as was the company. I have already deleted this round from my cache.

Happy Thanksgiving y’all!!

I hope each of you have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving with you families! Sent from my SM-N975U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

I just want to get over this “bug”....my wife got it two weeks ago, now she is finally better but I have it. Every muscle in my body hurts.So, for the first time some 1996, Thanksgiving will not be held at our house.....UGH! So Happy Thanksgiving to all. Enjoy time with your families.

Cold and windy front 9 and stuggled te whole way to a +7 with a couple dubs. Decided to play a few on the back and was even after 11 so I kept going. I was +1 on the back on the box at 17 when couple guys came walking up to play a couple extra holes. In my back swing one of the guys decides to use the bal wash and I actually topped my 4h off the tee. I looked over and his buddy aplogized for the ball washer. Bogey bogey finish for a +3.

Hoping you all have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

All right gang. The bracket is ready. Take your time to make/change pics as I'm gonna close it up Sunday at noon. Right meow there's 10 entries available but I'll make more if they fill up. You'll see my tab as an example. Once you pick a tab and enter your name in the space, be sure to rename the tab to include your name for easy identification. Head over here to make your picks: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e-JSqkDz8KefubPOeVtYcKPmTUss31gPCkNoD2b1Cdg/edit?usp=sharing Speaking of bracket busting, that's definitely what would've happened last year with @blackngold_blood coming from a Wild Card game to the crown.

Excellent video! I really enjoyed it and can't wait to see how the 410's worked for you. Sent from my SM-N975U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Niners are tough but Jimmy G. will struggle post season. My Vikings..oh my Vikings..Please beat Seattle. NE is just gettin by and they are one of my favs but they wil lose out inte playoffs if they dont win home field. NO..love to see Drew in the SB again. Seattle is dangerous. Ravens are the best team going with a running QB on fire. Tough to beat. Dont love running QBs and its only a matter of time he gets hurt.

I'm more surprised that 33% of this data group have a round in the 60's. As has been pointed out, even with some extra mojo flowing, this achievement requires extraordinary play. Of course, it could be that the poll is heavily weighted with our single digit handicap spies.

SNEAK PEAK at my review!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving! My dog and I on our way to the in-laws in Arkansas. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Mizuno’s, 919 Hot Metal, Great clubs, now. I had a bad experience with a Fitter who screwed me up Royally but was made good by Golf Central in The Villages who replaced the set N/C no problem. I’m also surprised at a Ping price reduction. I saw 2 brand new sets of G400 in the wild last week. Didn’t know they were still available. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

I wanted to get an electric pushcart for my wife, none of them were on sale... the models we were checking were all around $2000. Got 12 bottles of wine, a couple of bottles of Hendrick's gin, a bottle of Courvoisier XO, 3 bottles of Botucal Reserva Exclusiva Rum (this rum is the best I've tried, I even like it more than Zapaca) and 2 bottles of Jose Cuerco 1800.

Holy snap! These might officially be the sexiest blades.. ON THE PLANET! Not just because they look gorgeous but because they're Cobra, and RF's. Who both have my full support. [emoji1786] the more I practice, the luckier I seem to get..

Beautiful!!!! Maybe THESE will bring Rickie some luck and WINS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Not really looking for anything but I think I will buy 2 dozen Snell balls to try. Ifzi dont like I will throw them on CL. Used Callaway has a decent sale coming out so I might buy a used 60 degree low bounce wedge to experiment with. A local golf shop has a special event next week with some deals so making the 50 minute drive to check it out. I will also hit the MP 20s and 919 tours while Im there so maybe new irons? Actually trying to get some pounds of me so that will be my reward when I make that goal.

If only they had the reverse muscle of the Norman signature irons. I know they guy that got those pictures and where jonathon wall got them. Too bad he didn’t give him any credit.

I pre ordered one as well. Just went to my instructor again and I still roll the club to the inside on the takeaway despite trying not to for the past two months. Everyone talks about how this fault disappears in a very short period of time. We shall see.

Oooooo. Like a March madness bracket? This can be done! If at least 5 people want to do it, I’ll whip one up. Eliminated people only!!! Keep out Pete Rose.

Sucks to miss the playoffs but it’s been a great fun season and I’ve enjoyed every bit. Looking forward to see how the playoffs go as we drop down to single matchups. No matter who gets there, you know I’ll be rooting for the Stud division representative to win it all! Most competitive division top to bottom IMHO. Since I’m not dancing, at least I’ve still got circus

The driver and irons are gone but I still have the Cobra 3 wood, hybrids, and wedges in my bag. They are all top notch.

I know I said I'd like 60's more; but I'm still working on that "Broke 80" badge. Maybe a HIO would get me closer to both A hole in one, a few lucky putts, a ton of lucky misses, and I'd maybe get that 79

Also, although I love him like a brother, thank god @blackngold_blood won't be going for the MGS three-peat of fantasy leagues, that would have been an abject disaster.

Currently 42/100 of us have an Hole-in-One. I'm actually amazed it's that high and even more sad that I'm in the 58/100 group . Also, the data suggests those that have them on their mantle, have more than one... seems to follow lottery and sweepstake statistics... some are simply luckier than others.

Those look really good and for some reason Cobra iron s typically do nothing for me. The logo is cleaner and the finish is great. Good stuff Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been fortunate enough to have both. I've had two aces and enough rounds in the 60's that I don't remember all of them. We aren't talking 100's but we are talking 40 or 50. My two lowest rounds were 66 and 68 and those both came in competition, the 68 on a fairly difficult course - the 66 was on a not so tough par 70 and it was match play. My opponent gave me a few putts none of which were likely to be missed until the one that he wanted to give me on 18 - I don't recall how long it was other than it was miss-able. I begged him to rescind the concession and after I explained why, he did. I'd love another round in the 60's. I shot a 70 earlier this season so close. I think that I still may have one a two in me so long as I play the proper set of tees. Right now I would rather log another Ace. If I make it to 70 and am still healthy enough I'd love to shoot my age sometime. That would be cool. I played with a guy in my golf league who was in his early 80's and shot his age regularly, God rest his soul.

There is a lefthanded standbag from Ouul. the straps are on the reverse side, open side of the bag is top left shoulder. I am lefthanded but do not feel that this makes a big difference - especially when the weight of the bag is evenly divided between the straps.

... Haha reminds me of my cousin. He has 3 HIO's and has never broken 100. I was with him when he hit a 5 wood worm burner down a hill, hopped over a small creek, rolled up onto the green and in the hole. I was giving him a stroke and hit an 8 iron to 5 feet, made the birdie putt and lost the hole by 2 strokes. He said "I don't care if you tell people I topped a 5 wood down the hill for an ace, but please don't tell them I used a 5 wood from 158 yds. ... A few years late he hit a 30 yd slice on a short par 3 that went in the side of the hole. The Golf Gods obviously have a sense of humor.

30.6 for average putting is pretty good. It's comparable to me as a 7 handicap. I would attack your par 5 average of 6.4 first. What I see over and over and over again with higher handicappers is hitting it as far as you can on the first two shots on a par 5, where you then probably have a 60 yard shot (or less) into the green for the 3rd shot, and then you chunk it, blade it, or some other variety of missed lob wedge, which leads to the inevitable double bogey. Another perspective for you - I'm thoroughly convinced that I could beat most higher handicappers on par 5s just hitting 7 irons on this hole to the green. I say this mostly because I can keep the 7 iron pretty straight, and in play. Most higher handicaps tend to spray not only the driver off of the tee, but a fairway wood for a 2nd shot. So by any 3rd shot you are probably behind a tree, or in bad rough, or dropping and hitting 4 way before you are close to the green. My point to all of this on par 5s is to use better course management. Sure, hit driver off of the tee, but then pick an iron that you have confidence with to lay up to a comfortable number, like 100 yards, so you'll have a decent chance of hitting a full wedge into the green. I could be way off on all of this, especially since the numbers don't tell me anything about how you hit certain clubs, etc, but that'll give you some blind feedback and something to think about anyway, and take whatever you want from it and throw out the rest. As always, it's advice that is worth what you paid for it, unlike the garbage coming out of Brandel Chamblee's mouth.

Let's see, lofts 7.5 - 13.5, face angles of 4 +/- with the bendable hosel. My experience with the handpick/bend service has been on spec, everytime. No moving parts! (That will have to wait `till 2021, watch for it!)

Nope, we gotta try and bust some brackets!

It's a shame the graph can't distinguish automatically the subsequent responses from the first question. Would love to see that info.

I have a Tracy that finds it way into the bag every now and then.

I recommend taking a look at Mike's Twitter account. https://twitter.com/Fit_For_Golf He posts a lot of exercises on there are in the program, and some that are not. Realistically, could you put together a program on your own? Yes. Mike is not shy about his opinion about the best golf workout - it's one that utilizes heavy weights and the big movements, with the secondary emphasis being on stretching/mobility. My paraphrasing of him is that too many people think solely about flexibility and not strength. You're paying for his time in creating the program, and specifically the videos that go along with each exercise. I have found them to be extremely helpful. Additionally, Mike does a lot of variations of stretches, lifts, etc. throughout his program, things I would have never programmed myself. Just my thoughts. I do plan on getting the SuperSpeed-integrated program early next year, and I will probably get the warm-up manual, too.

I like the Grilla. What is it that you like about it that is better than the Rec Tec? Both grills are superior to others IMO. My one negative about the Rec Tec is it doesn't have a hopper dump, but I can live with that. I will see what the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals are for both. Thanks!!

Really like all the adjust-ability.

Clean up on Aisle Me..... Gloryosky those are gorgeous!!

I sent these MGS guys 20 bucks once. Wasn’t a night when I was “partaking” or even a social security payday. Kinda felt sorry for them. But not the sorrow I felt when I sent Bernie (Sanders) 20. His was from begging, theirs came out of sympathy, and I was a voyeur to their obsessions. Thing is, I got on their list. Now, at seasons end, looking back, because of this g-damn list, all I play is yellow Pro V1xs, drove 45 miles for a professional fitting, and traded away a perfectly great set of AP1s for a set of T300s that came in two months after I ordered them. I upgraded a 10.5-degree Epic to a Flash and got 3 or 4 extra shafts lying around. I got a $275 putter somewhere in the garage and replaced it with a $30 sawed-off Yes Penny Putter. Oh yeah, I also added a “most wanted” carry bag off Craig’s list, even though I only carry from the trunk to the cart and back. Thanks MGS. Thanks. I gotta MGS filter on my inbox. But no more, seasons over, I’m done. Quit. But I saw the new Vokey wedges are out.

Last weekend we went and hung out with some friends who have a two year old daughter. Needless to say, they have subscribed to Disney+ and we had not. After talking to my wife, we decided to take the plunge and cancelled the HBO we had through Prime (R.I.P. Game of Thrones) and go with the Disney option. Now we're hooked on The Mandalorian, a Star Wars series about a bounty hunter after the fall of the Empire. It's awesome! My only complaint is the episodes are released weekly and we can't binge them. Sent from my SM-N975U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
