The Good Morning Thread
Cfhandyman and 8 others reacted to Wheelieb for a topic
I guess it’s not morning. But I had to share my interesting story. Today I got out to play since we got the day off. Everything was going well, shot a 15 over. But that is not the point of this. I had just finished the 17th hole of the round and started heading to the 18th tee. And something caught my eye on the ground. I was certain it was a statute of a bald eagle. I thought that was pretty cool until I got up closer and realized it was real. It also looked like something was wrong with its wing. I called the club house and let them know where the eagle was. I watched him for a good 5 minutes and he didn’t move a bit other than to blink at me. They contacted wildlife and got them out there, but I had already left by then as the course manager had taken over watching it. I hope it is ok or can at least be rehabbed.9 points -

Newton Shafts - Try Before You Buy - Demo Program
GolfSpy_KFT and 7 others reacted to tony@CIC for a topic
When I talked to Angelo last week he thought I was between a 2 dot and 3 dot. He suggested I wait for the intro of their "Try Before You Buy" program and get both to see which one works best. That program went online today and I just ordered both the 2 and the 3, and I have until April 15th to try both of them. In case you're not aware it's called their 'Demo' program.8 points -

after replacing 2 sections of water line under the in laws home, I got a call from a friend who was stranded 5 hours away. His truck went into limp mode on the highway coming back home. Got it to a dealer who is fixing it under warranty, and will have it delivered to the dealer here when done (estimated next week ) so 9.5 hours on the road with nearly no breaks, and I'm wiped out. But that's what we do for friends. (He didn't have rental coverage and the dealer wasn't letting a loaner out for being so far away)4 points -

The Fitting: The fitting started with talking with Jon and typical misses and that despite my recent trend being a left miss that my normal longer term miss is right. He also asked which shape I would prefer. My shot with the current shaft were inline with what I have been doing which has been a pull draw with occasional pull hook or over correction push. We then bounced around between 17Lo, 16Lo, 16Hi, and 15Hi in the Nitro range hitting a few then swapping and circling back to previous to verify results. He even through in the Ping G430 10K head at one point. Things where very close between the 15Hi and 16Hi. I had my fastest ball speed on any swing at 170 mph with the 16Hi but when going back and fourth between shafts the Nitro 15Hi was more consistent and still averaged 167 ball speed. Here are some screenshots from the Trackman report. Dispersion chart with all to see how it moved around with different shafts: Current Shaft: Fitted Shaft: Driver Dispersion of current and fitted: (Note: Green is current, red and purple are both fitting with different wight position) Also one note I got from Jon over and over especially with the driver was he kept telling me to give him everything I got and stop guiding it. He also noted that he thinks I will continue to raise my ball speed as confidence grows with it. Next as we where getting into the 5 wood we started talking about gaping which lead him to have me hit both my 4 hybrid and 4 iron to get distances. We found that my carry with 4 iron was 218, 4 hybrid was 225 and 5 wood was 251. This lead him to move to the 4 hybrid fit next instead of 5 wood with the goal of 240 carry. We tried both 15Lo and 14Lo and moved the loft sleeve down 1.5 degrees. He then added a half inch of length to the shaft in the 15Lo and got 238 carry. Current Hybrid: Fitted Hybrid: (Note he mislabeled the shaft the first time so this is split into 2) Hybrid Dispersion: (Note he mislabeled the shaft the first time so this is split into 2) At this point having got to know me and looking for 260 he gave me a 15Lo and first swing was 259.2 carry. I hit 5 shots total with the carry average being 259.2 with the longest being 265 when I hooked it and 250 when trying to hit a high cut which is exactly what I am looking for. A note on the 5 wood is I still was favoring a pull with it but Jon is having TPT send him the shafts directly so he can build them and it going to put the flat Callaway adapter in it as he says TPT cannot get these adapters themselves. He also slid one on a shaft really quick so I could address it and make sure it looks good and not to flat. I also play my 5 wood at 42 inches and was having to choke down a bit on the test shafts so in this process he is also going to tip the shaft a half inch. 5 Wood Comparison: (note: blue current and green fitted) 5 Wood dispersion: Fitting TLDR: The fitting was through hitting some shafts multiple times to confirm result. Even got into gapping which had us increase both 4 hybrid and 5 wood carry distances. Final fitted shafts, Driver = Nitro 15Hi, 5 wood = Power 15Lo, 4 hybrid = Power 15Lo.3 points

@Hoyoymac is 100% correct. While going through the process it’s tough to realize what's going on while it’s happening to you, but watching others go through the process is very enlightening. I’ve already given my opinion of the process, so other than to say how great it was to meet everyone, I’ll leave it at that. Also, for the record, @ZackS had the putter when I left so if it’s missing it wasn’t me.3 points -

Hah! I've been to your Woolworths, but not the fish markets. My daughter and her husband generally go out on their boat to catch Tuna along with diving for Abalone (in season) so no need to hit the fish markets. Also when she comes up here she brings loads of anzac cookies. Oh and remember courses do have rental clubs - we always rented when we played in Tassie.2 points -

Apologies MGS’s …. Way late again to the morning, now afternoon conversation. Somehow the confab I had with myself about playing yesterday’s round like my last round ever, got misconstrued into a performance of actually being nearly my worst round ever. Did’t help that on the second hole I hit a bunker shot where it felt like how hitting cement might feel… Some hard as heck sand. Anyhow jacked the hell out of my wrists. Being the non-bright elderly person that I am, instead of calling it a day I continued to play on, big mistake. Had a horrible night with the wrists. My lady fair, did all the driving to the Medico appointments. Finished the blood draw, as well as the other fluid pulls. Hands and wrists feeling a tad better. Spending the night in the big city, as the orthopedist is first up in the morning. Hoping for some answers an if I need to see the nerve specialist for exam(s) /testing for the extent of nerve damage. Next up after that is the gastroenterologist to review blood work and discuss any options that may need to be considered. Bottom line, I will be out of pocket for at least a couple of more days.. Won’t be any twisting off, just shuffling from one medico to the next. The young person doing the blood pull work up asked me questions in a combination of general conversation and information gathering. When he asked my age, his response to my answer was,… “ That’s starting to get up there “..Made me laugh. I responded with a barrage of possibly biased data…. Take care out there… It is still Monday, and Monday can be a dangerous day to deal with.2 points -

It is a beautiful cool spring morning in Newnan, GA. Great day for golf, but not me today. Back is ailing still. Thinking a lot about Scottie and his historic win yesterday. I am amazed at how easy he makes the game look even with an average putter at best most of the time. What I love most about him is his humility. Hopefully he keeps winning and stays the same.2 points -
How'd you play?
Rob Person and one other reacted to Preeway for a topic
I put in a lot of work on my short game for days like these. When my driver is unpredictable I really need my putter to step up. It’s the days when both fail me that I question why I keep playing this game. Hoping one day soon he will understand why a strong mental game is needed in order to excel. The ability to make pars and limit bogeys when it feels like the wheels are falling off is the key to taking his game to the next level. He’s already at a point where he can beat me. He just doesn’t realize it yet.2 points -

What/How Did You Practice Today?
Rob Person and one other reacted to Jmikecpa for a topic
I am not really a lesson guy nor have I ever been, maybe have had 10 actual lessons in the 40+ years I have played the game. I have a pro that looks at my swing and tells me what is off and that seems to work. Early season I have been struggling with getting stuck under the ball with the longer clubs and the fix was simple.....open my stance a bit as I was closed and not rush the transition. Went to the range yesterday with my daughter and I was back to where I needed to be. Amazing how such a small change can make such a big difference. Start line was where it needed to be and the distance that I attributed to early season rust is back.2 points -

I have to bring in Morikawa's iron swing. Something so beautiful in the "simplicity" of his whole motion. But it is way too early for me to attempt or compare how I swing to anybody else's. I would take Morikawa's any day though.2 points
