  1. I don’t trust fitters at big box.  Big box wants to just get a sale and will direct you to a shaft that just is generic.  Go to club champion.  Get a real fitting.  When you find a guy who is good, he is as good as gold.  You can pay for the fitting or buy the product through them, but they are expensive.  If they fit you to a shaft that is readily available on BST here or GolfWRX (i.e. ventus velocore) then just pay the fitting fee.  If it is a shaft you won’t find used, then bite the bullet and use them.  It will be expensive, but your game will be better.  

  2. I had the LTDx special black (whatever they called it), but when was looking for new shaft.  So during fitting, I tried Aerojet and was 10 yards longer with tighter dispersion vs. LTDx with both using the new shaft.  Of course, I upgraded to the Aerojet.  Curious if anyone has tried this vs. Aerojet and what their results were.

    ... Sorry Tom. Just seems crazy that any company would take this stance in 2023. 🙄  I would be lost without CBD and prefer a natural plant pain reliever than pharmaceuticals that have serious side effects. 

    The cream and roll on works better than any other pain reliever I have ever used.  Buddy had back surgery was prescribed CBD pouch over opioids.  I’m with you.

    No clue! My company has a very strict drug and alcohol policy. Random testing can happen at any time and if you pop positive you are done. They even said if you use CBD oil, gummies or anything like that and you pop positive because of the hemp used you are done. My job / career is too important to my family to even consider taking a chance. 

    Let's revisit this thread in about 8 years when I retire and see what I say then! 🤣

    Law enforcement?

  5. Last 2 rounds I played not one shot registered.  Ridiculous that I had to put in every shot during the walk from hole to hole.  I love the product when it works and believe they could make this much better.  The question is will they or do I go to a different platform that just runs off my Apple Watch 8.

    If you play the same course it might not help much since you have learned the greens.  Never said you shouldn’t look at the green while approaching.   Multiple ways to do things in golf and you have to figure out what works best for you as a player.   

    I’m not saying you said not to look at the green.  I was making reference for people to always pay attention if you want to score.

    So I'm in dire need of some help. 

    I know that anybody who has played sports in the past knows not to use the term but I've had a pretty bad case of the "yips" the last couple of months.  I played 4 rounds 4th of July week and the first 3 were going great and then on the 4th one I had my best front 9 ever after that though everything went downhill and kept getting worse with every club but ever since that back 9 I have not been able to hit my 5 wood (my favorite club) or my hybrids primarily.  I've read and watched what I feel like has been every article or video on the internet and can't seem to fix it.  I've spent hours on the range trying as well.  No matter what I do, all of my shots are barely coming off the ground and duck hooking bad.  I've resorted to using my long irons which worked for a couple of rounds actually, to my great surprise and enjoyment, but they're now doing it too.  Anybody got any idea or advice for me?  I do plan on going to get some help soon in the future but figured I'd try my luck with you all first.

    Also, oddly enough, I've never hit my driver better than I have my last 3 rounds.  Not sure if me finally figuring out my driver swing would have any effect on it but figured more information is better than none.  Too bad once I hit my driver well, everything else goes downhill 🤣.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    For worm burners, you are noting dipping that front shoulder and are essentially swinging with your shoulders flat.  For the duck hooks, it likely is you are turning your wrists over too quickly on your downswing.  

  8. Meeting Jon Gruden at Avila Country Club before he went out with his young kids when he was coach of the Bucs and then on the 3rd hole meeting the Crime Dog (Fred McGriff).  Too bad Yankees season was going on as might have seen Posada and Jeter as well as they used to live on the course too.

  9. So many great stories, hole in one, stinger off tee to deliberately hit a gator on the fairway for $100 bet (it didn’t even flinch), hook into woods and 4 seconds later ball pops out onto the fringe of green (to this day no one understands how that happened), the double sandy according to my friend (tee box to fairway bunker to green side bunker to holed out for birdie), the pouring rain on Pinehurst #4 with “rivers” flowing across the green and we continued to play like the priest in caddyshack, the 50 yard chip in for eagle, the golf trips with the boys, the member guests, and finally the beer 18 where you take your score and subtract the number of beers you drank to see who won. 

  10. I went Tesla Model Y 3 years ago.  Wife got Mustang Mach-E.  Never going back to gasoline.  Yes, trips require stops for 30 min to charge, but you typically need to stretch your legs and hit the head anyway…so it’s not an inconvenience in my view.  Really they need to put solar panels on the roof and hood.

    I recently received a pair of the latest FootJoy Hyperflex BOA as a warranty replacement for the prior iteration of the Hyperflex. I will be posting my thoughts on them in an unofficial review using this thread. More photos and initial thoughts to come later this evening!

    What happened to the prior shoe that you needed to get warranty replacement? 

  12. Greed for lack of a better word is good.  Greed is right.  Greed works.  Greed clairifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.  Greed in all its forms, greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind.  And greed, you mark my words, will not only save LIV, but also that other manufacturing corporation called Saudi Arabia.
