[Walkup music - what is yours?]

Master of Puppets by Metallica would be my walk up music.  I probably won't hit the fairway because I will be so amped up I will swing out of my shoes.

[Top Speed Golf - 20 minute distance fix REVIEW]

I like Clay's videos, I'll be curious to see if you get any long term gains from his system.  I paid for a years membership a couple of years ago, but I have ADD when it comes to golf videos and did not stick with it. 

[The Good Morning Thread]

I got called into work at 3am this morning, it's going to be a long day.

[How many sets of clubs have you owned in your lifetime]

This should be interesting. I am only going to list the sets I actually gamed, there have been several bought and sold from ebay back in the day that never made it in the bag.

Spalding (probably Executives but I don't know for sure)

Up & In (I think that was the name, this was a low end set I bought at a golf store)

Orlimar Tri Metal

Ping Zing 2

Cobra SZ

Ping G20

Taylormade Rocketbladez

Taylormade SLDR

Ping G30

Taylormade P790

Cobra Speedzone

Srixon Zx4

[MGS Forum Badge Catalog]

Could I get the broke 70 and hole in 1 tags?

[What TV series are you streaming?]

Yellowstone (Paramount needs to unlock it for those of us that pay for streaming but not cable! )

 

I believe they sold the streaming rights for Yellowstone to Peacock before Paramount+ was a thing.

[What TV series are you streaming?]

We just started Rabbit Hole on Paramount+ last night.  There are only 2 episodes streaming right now, by they were very good.

[How do you mark your ball (not ball marker)?]

I don't play in anything official enough to require marking the ball.  I am ususally the only one in the group playing a yellow ball, so there is no need for me to mark it.

[Taylormade 2017 P790 Irons VS Taylormade 2023 HD Irons]

I like thicker soled irons and I have to say, those Stealth HD look great in the bag.  I definitely need to see them in person.

[Are there any anti-left hybrids?]

I have had issues with hooking hybrids in the past as well.  My Mizuno CLK hybrids are very consistent, I am very happy with them.  I also have a PXG Gen 2 hybrid that tends to miss to the right which I have never seen out of a hybrid before.

[Shot Scope Users Group]

Ha, I just got the email 2 minutes ago.  Now the pondering begins.

Maybe it is about logging into the dashboard.  When was the last time you uploaded a round?

November 23rd.  I have logged into the dashboard since then to update my bag with a new putter, buts that it.

I use my email when I log into the Shot Scope dashboard.  Is that a different login that an existing user account?

I didn’t buy directly from shotscope and received the email. Was in my email this morning; check your spam folder. 

Thanks, I hadn't thought to check the spam folder.  Unfortunately, its not there either.   I'm not even sure I am on there mailing list. I did a search for ShotScope in my email and all it came up with was old emails from customer service when I was setting up my watch two years ago.

[Shot Scope Users Group]

I am a current user with a SS account, but I am not getting that deal.  Maybe it's only for customers that bought directly from ShotScope?  Looks like I will be sticking with the V3 for the time being.

[Shot Scope Users Group]

I haven't gotten an email about it yet, how much is the discount?  I need to order some new tags for my V3 anyway, so maybe I will just go for the upgrade instead.

[What’s Your Go To Golf Tee?]

I am using a 4" wooden tee this year.  I have used 3 1/4" Plastic tees for the past several years, but late last year I found a 4" tee on the teebox during a practice round.  I told my wife that it looked rediculous so of course I had to try it.  I have always struggled to get good launch angles consistently with my driver, but with these tees I am hitting trajectories that I didn't think were possible for me.  

[Ideal irons and setup for tennis elbow recovery]

Another vote for graphite shafts here. I switched to graphite in my irons and wedges last year and my arm started feeling better surpisingly fast. I almost wonder if it was a coincidence because it seemed too good to be true after having pain on every swing for several months. Either way, I will never have steel shafts in anything but my putter from here on out.

[YOGA]

DDPY!  I've been doing DDP Yoga for a couple of years now.  For those don't know or don't remember, Diamond Dallas Page was a pro wrestler back in the 90's with WCW.  He injured his back wrestling and found yoga to be a huge help during his rehab. I really like his program because it really focuses on the back and he's still got that wresting edge that sets it apart from the normal "namaste" yoga vibe.

[Youth Club Recommendations]

I bought my lefty nephew a Tour Edge set for Christmas.  I mainly went with the Tour Edge because he is 12 and there are not a lot of options out there in the 12-14 age range.   They were cheaper than the US Kids, but seem like they are good quality clubs.  

[Get A Grip!]

I like the blue Golfpride CP2 midsize grips. I am also a fan of Winn Excel grips, but they are not durable at all.  I actually bouth the Winn grips for my new irons, but for some reason they really messed up the feel of them.  The only thing I can figure is maybe a swing weight thing because they are lighter than a traditional midsize grip.  Either way, I ordered a set of CP2's the next day.

[The Good Morning Thread]

My alarm is set for 5:15 am but rarely goes off. I usually get up somewhere between 4:30 and 4:45.  I never was a coffee drinker and gave up sodas a few years back. Energy drinks have been my caffeine delivery vehicle for over 15 years.  Rockstar Zero Carb is my drink of choice.  I use to drink 1 every morning, but for the past couple of years I've started drinking a 2nd in the afternoons. We are leaving on an 8 day cruise Saturday and I figured smuggling 16 Rockstars on the ship was probably pushing my luck, so I have replaced my energy drinks with a caffeine pill.  I am on week 3 of a 200 mg pill in the morning and 1/2 pill in the afternoon which has gone surprisingly smoothly.  I don't miss the drinks nearly as much as I thought, and I'm saving a ton of money as a bonus.  My plan is to gradually start cutting down the dosage of the pills until I don't use them at all, but we'll see.  I could just as easily be back on the Rockstars the day we get back from the cruise!

[TM Tour Response - poor quality?]

It's definitely the paint. I had a dozen in yellow last year and the paint started flaking on all of them within a few shots. I've played yellow balls for a long time and had never seen that before.

[OEMs Sponsoring Social Media Influencers: Your Thoughts?]

To me it depends on what there content is.  If I am watching club reviews, I would rather it be from someone that is not sponsored. If its swing tips, then I don't care what brand they have on their bag over in the corner.
