    I’ve read a couple of different places, the new owners of TaylorMade will look to downsize their Tour footprint toward the end of this season. They are looking at more of a Ping/Titleist model from what’s being discussed. 
     

    Bryson and Big Bob “Pigman” Parsons would be a match made in heaven/hell, depending on your perspective. 

    I would pay to see/hear those interactions!

    Well it took a little longer than it should have to call them (stupid life issues!!) but I finally pulled the trigger.  Shane @GolfSub70 was a tremendous help and was great to talk to and listened to my ramblings.  Thanks Shane.

    I shall soon have a new set of 699's headed my way.  Can't wait.  First new set of irons since the turn of the century!! 🤣

    Delivery scheduled today!  Hopefully there is a nice new box of goodies waiting for me when I get home from work.

    1.    How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score?
    I’ve been playing since around 1988.  I’m just an 18 handicap but feel like I’m on the verge of playing some great golf.  Of course, I’ve felt like that for years.  I actually had a 13 handicap for a short while after having the round of my life, then the USGA handicap system penalized me for being 7+ shots better than normal and dropped my handicap to 13.  I'm back to an 18 now, but hope to legitimately be a 13 again some day.

    2.    What do you love about golf?
    I like taking long walks on the beach and through the woods, as long as I have a shot to the green!

    3.    What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?
    I don’t know any other spies, but like the forum.

    4.    Where are you from? What is your home course?
    I’m from the Pacific Northwest, then joined the Air Force for 22 years and moved all round the world.  I finally retired and moved back home.  Me and some guys from work spend way too much time at Madrona Links in Gig Harbor.

    5.    What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?
    You can play year round, as long as you don’t mind getting wet and muddy.

    6.    What do you do for a living?
    IT Manager for a local company

    7.    How’d you pick your user name?
    I’ve been a Corvette nut since kindergarten, I’m a veteran, and my name is Ron (VetteRon)

    Growing up, my parents played a little golf.  I remember watching them hit wiffle balls in the front yard thinking what a stupid game.  Then around 1988 when on leave from the Air Force my best friend from high school suggested we go golfing.  My first Tee shot hit a house, so I reloaded and hit their car.  I've been addicted ever since.
     

    I almost forgot, I finished making a backyard putting green recently.  I'll post some pictures in another post.

    I was considering/debating going with Sub70 before reading this thread but what I'm seeing here has me sold.  Thanks for all the inciteful input from everyone.

    @GolfSub70 I will be giving you guys a call tomorrow!!

    I'm a veteran as well, as I'm sure you could already see below my profile pic...but I also joined the VGA (Veteran Golfers Association) https://www.vgagolf.org/ ...Srixon is one of their sponsors, and therefore offer a 30% discount to VGA members.  Srixon is apart of the Cleveland Golf family, along with XXIO, so I think you can get the 30% discount with those brands as well. 

    This is the first I'm hearing about this VGA.  I'm going to have to take a look.

    Whats your best joke?

    "John Daly walks into a new bar and reads a sign that hangs over the bar:

    FREE BEER! FREE BEER FOR THE PERSON WHO CAN PASS THE TEST!

    So John asks the bartender what the test is.

    Bartender says, “Well, first you have to drink that whole gallon of pepper tequila, the WHOLE thing at once and you can’t make a face while doing it. Second, there’s a ‘gator out back with a sore tooth…you have to remove it with your bare hands. Third, there’s a woman up-stairs who’s never had an orgasm. You gotta make her have one and make things right for her.”

    John says, “Well, I’ve done some outrageous things in my life, but as much as I would love free beer, I won’t do it. You have to be nuts to drink a gallon of pepper tequila and then it gets crazier from there.”

    Well, as time goes on John drinks a few, he asks, “Wherez zat teeqeelah?” He grabs the gallon of pepper tequila with both hands, and downs it with a big slurp and tears are now streaming down his face.

    Next, he staggers out back and soon all the people inside hear the most frightening roaring and thumping, and then silence. John staggers back into the bar, his shirt ripped and big scratches were all over his body.

    “Now” he says “Where’s that woman with the sore tooth?”

    You and I are going to sit down and have a long talk about how inappropriate this is, young man!! 😒
