  1. Can anyone identify this putter? Given to me with a bunch of old McGregor clubs from the 70's, maybe. No markings I can see.
  2. Fresh glue is a thought. I'd still feel better if it screwed on.
  3. I plan on contacting them, just haven't had time to do so.
  4. I know this is a 5 year old post... I loved the idea of this product. So I bought one of these for $49.99 the other day. It arrived nicely packed in a pretty sturdy box. The grip was nice, as it enforced a neutral grip. I tried it on setting 1 and the magnet released too early. I increased the setting to three and it really seem to work for me at that setting. I took about three practice swings with it and the next thing I knew the head flew off of the club bounced off of my carpet and smashed into my impact screen. The Garmin said that it went 122 yards, although an extreme hook! Very happy it didn't hit my Garmin, projector, or TV. I am also very glad that I was not testing this out in my living room! The head weighs 4.2 ozs, but traveling at 100+ mph, most windows and TV's would be destroyed. I am attaching some pictures of the club after it broke. I won't be getting another. I don't feel I can trust it. If they redesign it so the head screwed on instead of being glued on, I may revisit it.
  5. Morning all! Grabbed a cup of coffee and watching my boy Rory leading the Dubai Desert Classic. I hope he holds on to this lead. Have a great Sunday, everyone!
  6. Good morning, all! Well it's a brisk 16° here in Georgia. Sim golf for me this afternoon, then off to a men's group dinner. Stay warm everyone!
  7. And there I am, dragging Georgia down at least 1 full notch! https://golf.com/news/which-state-lowest-handicap-index-highest/?amp=1 Or direct to the source:
  8. Happy New Years Eve, everyone! It's a balmy 33° here, north of Atlanta. I spent most of yesterday getting GSPro set up and configured on a PC in my basement sim. It's a huge improvement over an iPad and e6. Today I'll bring up the boxes to get ready for taking down the elaborate Christmas decorations we put up every year. I hope to work on setting up a webcam in my sim for putting, then off to an old friend's house for dinner tonight. We will probably be home by 10 to avoid the traffic drama. I hope you all have a safe and happy NYE, and a prosperous New Year! Hit 'em long and straight!
  9. Check here for good, inexpensive impact screens. https://www.virtual-golf-simulator.com/golf-screens/. They are really helpful and can custom make your screen. I'm still planning mine, but this is where I will buy from.
  10. I just posted my setup with an R10. I started with just a net and a TV off to the side. Having a projector makes it way more fun! https://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/61795-garmin-r10-numbers/?do=findComment&comment=983780
  11. I played Heritage 2 weeks ago with my cousin and brother in law (I've been busy, so a late update...). We picked up a 4th who walked the entire course. His name was George, super nice guy! I shot a 116. For me, not that bad. That course doesn't have 2 consecutive feet of flat ground, the greens have at least 3 breaks each. The falling leaves managed to consume several balls, I had just switched from neon orange to white balls that morning. I second guessed that choice throughout the day. I had a blast though! George, if you read this and are headed back through GA, let me know and I'd be glad to play 18 with you again! We saw a coyote on the course also.
  12. I have the R10, but I only use it inside. I initially only had nets hung up, and with poured concrete walls, I think I was getting a lot of echo effect that confused the unit. I since have hung a moving blanket behind the net, a tarp and a sheet in front. It seems to be much more accurate now. I have 11' from ball to impact surface, 7'6" to R10. I'm running the R10 -> iPad running e6 -> Roku attached to my projector. Asking Santa for a 1 year subscription to GSpro! @GaDawg, I've never used my R10 outside, so I can't say how it would work on the range. For the record, I love my R10! I've not put it side by side with my coaches BLP, but my distances shown on each launch monitor are similar at home and at my lessons.
  13. I started looking at Shot Scope because I want something 99% automatic that I don't have to fiddle with during a round. 18 Birdies took me too much time using the phone app for shot tracking. If anyone is interested in a Shot Scope X5 for the price of an V3, they have X5 ex-display units available with 1 year warranty for $199.99
  14. Morning, all! Working on the second cup. No golf today. I have not played in over a month, we took a European vacation for a few weeks. Once I got back to Georgia, it seemed to rain daily in the afternoons and even a few driving ranges were closed due to flooding the other day. 90° and 125% humidity makes for miserable golf. Off to play pickleball with the wife. That's not a euphemism... [emoji1787] Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk
  15. Play like I do. People on adjacent fairways all stop to look at me, mostly because my drives end up over there, but still!
