  1. Hey guys, I hope this is where we leave comments. i listened to the podcast, my takeaway from this episode is, I would like to do a deeper dive into "playing with your kids, or in my case now with the grandkids." My personality makes it hard to just relax and have fun with them, I am always trying to get them to hurry up or keep up or do this or do that and it is exhausting. I think I picked up a bit of that from on of the podcast guys but the conversation turned to something else so we didn't really here any talk about it. There was a lot of talk about "picking up swing speed" "working out to pick up swing speed" etc. What was missed from the conversation was "smash factor". You can pick up 10 mph of swing speed however if you aren't making solid contact with the ball it is wasted speed. There has to be both swing speed and smash factor to maximize the distance advantage. Just a couple of things that I noticed. I am hopeful your audience appreciates the time and hard work you are putting into this podcast. What made me smile, the intro and closing remarks "I am just going to sit here and look at this christmas tree, isn't it a beauty?" lol...
  2. I had a chance to listen to the episode, some interesting stuff.
  3. what are you doing? are you organizing golf tournaments?
  4. way to go... solid day...
  5. The Champagne powder in Fernie was epic, and the vertical unbelievable... Black diamond was like double black diamond anywhere else...
  6. IMG_1100.mov Good morning spy’s. off to a nice start this Sunday morning. I will attend my 13 year old granddaughter’s final rugby match this year, for the gold medal!! looking forward to that… then back to golf tomorrow have a great day everyone
  7. good luck tomorrow Josh, it is always a bit nerve racking starting a new job... if I have learned anything from your posts, you will rock it...
  8. we lived for 2 years in Fernie, a small town in the Rocky Mountains of BC. Now those are mountains...
  9. Cant get a pin on "Sooke"
  10. thanks bud, day 4 and not much better, getting mad now...
  11. day 3 for me, getting better but not even close to 100%... hope you come out of it ok
  12. Good morning, I was a "basement" club builder for many years, built a lot of "knock offs" in the 90's... anyway I always struggled pulling heads off graphite shafts, I did manage to do it however it was hard not to damage the tip of the shaft. Any tips on how to remove the adaptors, as I agree we could do that...
  13. Happy Thanksgiving to all the US spy's that celebrate... My favourite US thanksgiving story is.. my friend and his wife had a house at "The Hideaway" in La Quinta California. We would be invited "down south" to celebrate. Dinner was always fantastic, the company was grand but the real fun thing was the day after thanksgiving the developers would host open houses at all the new builds in the community. Well the houses were spectacular and the wine and appies were the real winner, we would ride bikes to the houses and believe me the start of the ride was more controlled than the ride back to his place. Anyway, great memories...
  14. congratulations.. boy or girl?
  15. That NVS shaft was great, and great story with it @BIG STU, I am a firm believer in keeping shafts that have treated me well over the years and putting new technology heads in them.
